Fast Five

*This may contain spoilers*

Rating: PG13 "Violence, Action, Sexual content, and Language"
Staring: Vin Diesil and Paul Walker
Genre: Crime, action, thriller
Released: 29th of April, 2011

My Review:
I enjoyed it, it is probably my favourite of the series! For starters it takes place in one of my favourite cities Rio De Janero, Brazil. It has nice cars, good driving, and the taking down or helping to take down a crime boss, what's there not to love? Well made, alright acting. I've never been real fond of Dwayne Johnson's acting abilities, but aside from that it was good. I would say if you liked the other Fast movies, you will really love this one. I would say of the actual quality of the movie this one is the best in the series. I also feel like it wrapped up some things that you wanted to see and end to.

To sum it up, I'd say watch it. I liked it.

Law Abiding Citizen

I'm going to start by giving you some film stats, about the plot, then go into my review. *WARNING - THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*

Rating: R for, "strong bloody brutal violence and torture, a scene of rape, and pervasive language"
Staring: Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler.
Released: 16th October, 2009.
Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller.

Plot:
Clyde (Gerard Butler) Shelton's family was killed, and the man who did it got off with not much but a scratch. Would Clyde just let that go? Would he try and avenge his families death? If he did, could he be stopped?

My Review:
It was good, but it did have allot of intense parts. It wasn't as scary as many had said, though the torture scene would make most people uneasy. It had great acting, and a good plot, I think the movie came together well. I will warn you there is a scene of rape, though not explicit, and not disgusting. You can get the idea across that something bad happened without showing it, and this movie did that.

To sum it up, not for everyone, but it was okay.

The Green Hornet

Rating: PG13 for, "sequences of violent action, language, sensuality and drug content."
Staring: Seth Rogen and Jay Chou.
Released: 14Th of January, 2011.
Genre: Action, Comedy, Crime.

Plot:
After the death of his successful business man dad, Brett (Seth Rogen) Reid is left with the family newspaper company, knowing nothing about running a business. But with an idea and the help of his fathers mechanic Kato (Jay Chou), he may just find a way to run this paper.

My Review:
It was good, not the best super hero movie, but certainly not the worst. I had heard some terrible reviews about the lame action, boring dialogue, and bad acting. I will say now, I disagree, sure it wasn't the most fantastic movie, but I thought it was funny, in the beginning the acting was a little campy, but it got better as the movie went on. The action was what should be expected, and yes though you could say it was unrealistic, it is a super hero movie, sometimes their stunts are a little over the top. There was more language than I think people were expecting, so that was probably one of the reasons some people didn't like it. Over all I thought it was pretty good, not necessarily for younguns, but pretty funny.

To sum it up, I enjoyed it.

And Then There Were None

*This may contain spoilers*


Rating: Not Rated
Staring: Barry Fitzgerald and Walter Huston
Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
Released: 31st of October, 1945

My Review:
This is really and truly one of my very favourite movies of all time. It is the perfect suspense film. There's nothing like 10 people on an island, in black and white. This is a wonderful adaption to film by Rene Clair of Agatha Christie's beautiful book. I would recommend this to anyone. This was from the time of true suspense films, none of this slasher, or paranormal stuff. This was the real deal. This is one of the best movies ever made.

To sum it up, it's phenomenal. Everyone should watch it.

And then there were none.

Rating: NR
Staring: Barry Fitzgerald and Walter Huston
Released: 31st of October, 1945.
Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller.

Plot:
Based on the book "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. 10 people all invited by a stranger, Mr. Owen, told to come to this island, Indian Island, for different reasons. Strange things started happening, they all realised that none of them had ever met this person who had invited them. On the first day a record was played to them, telling all of the things they had done. They had all committed a crime, and none had payed for it. Soon one by one they started dying off, and all there deaths surprisingly mimicked the song Ten Little Indians. They searched the island and found that there was no one but them, and that it had to be one of them. "Mr. Owen could only come to the island in one way. It's perfectly clear. Mr. Owen is one of us." But who? Would any one survive, or would it end like the nursery rhyme.

My Review:
First off if you don't know anything about Agatha Christie you should probably read up on her, she is the top notch in mystery/thriller novels. Also this is hands down my favourite black and white movie, and it really wouldn't be good any other way. It's a wonderful wonderful movie. Beautifully directed by René Clair.

To sum it up, I would highly recommend it.

Inception

I'm going to start by giving you some film stats, about the plot, then go into my review. *WARNING - THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*

Rating: PG-13 for, "Sequences of violence and action throughout."
Staring: Ellen Page and Leonardo DiCaprio
Released: 16Th of July, 2010.
Genre: Action, Crime, Mystery, Thriller, Sci-Fi.

Plot:
This is the story about a man who, you could say, is a thought thief. Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) goes into the dreams of people to extract information from them, by breaking into a vault of their secrets. But how long can he go before he can't tell reality from dream? Will his secrets help him, or will they kill him?

My Review:
It was good, and I'm saying that from the perspective of not liking the majority of movies Leonardo DiCaprio is in, I though his acting was great. The movie had wonderful graphics, intriguing dialogue. I was kind of let down, because of the press this got, I thought it was going to be one of those movies that if you took your eye off of it you wouldn't know what happened, and I love those kind of movies. But it wasn't I understood it fine, and I wish I had not seen all the press about this movie, and so many people saying it was the most complex movie they have ever seen. But none the less, I like it. It was well made, well acted, so interesting.

To sum it up, I would recommend it.

Bonnie and Clyde

I'm going to start by giving you some film stats, about the plot, then go into my review. *WARNING - THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*

Rating; R for, "violence."
Staring; Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
Released; 13TH of August, 1967.
Genre; Biography, Crime, Drama, Romance, Thriller.

Plot;
As Clyde (Beatty) Barrow was checking out a car before he was going to steal it, he was caught by a young beautiful woman, Bonnie (Dunaway) Parker. Just as fast as they met, they started stealing. They were always on the run, but they were so in love. The duo picked up another man along the way at a small town gas station, C.W. (Michael J. Pollard) Moss, he was just a kid, bu he was a great driver. Not to long after becoming a trio they added two more to their robbing team Clyde's brother Buck (Gene Hackman) Barrow, and his wife Blanche (Estelle Parsons). It seemed that just as the team would settle down for a nice Holiday, the police would find them, and every time they police got closer and closer to catching them, but they were always a step ahead. Always until, there was a great shootout, that is. It wounded It wounded Bonnie, Clyde and Blanch, also taking Blanche captive, and it killed Buck. Bonnie, Clyde, and C.W just barely escaped. They headed to C.W's house because that was the only place that they didn't think the police would find them, because no one had found out the identity of C.W yet. The thing the didn't take into account was that the police had already captured Blanche, and she gave away every thing. The police set up a trap, with the help of C.W.'s father, who wasn't into the idea of bank robbers living in his house. One day he convinced his son to stay in town when Bonnie and Clyde came home, he ignorantly did so. On the way home Bonnie and Clyde stopped to help C.W.'s dad fix a flat tire, when they were gunned down.

My Review;
Great Movie. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were beautiful together. Though the MPAA gave this an 'R' rating, and I would give it at MOST PG13. There is some suggestive conversation and some nudity, and the 'Violence' is more intense or dramatic then blood and guts, after all it's 1967. I believe it truly gives you a feel for how Bonnie and Clyde were. I love the cinematography, it's just a beautiful movie. When watching it you almost don't want them to get caught, you want them to live happily ever after, but you know they wont. Because every one knows the story of Bonnie and Clyde, how they got ambushed and shot to death, just like Sonny Corleone. This honestly is one of my all time favourites.

To sum it up, it's a beautiful crime not to watch this, go rent it.
