The Way Back

This drama story based on a true story is directed by Peter Weir and stars Ed Harris (Mr. Smith), Colin Farrell (Valka), Dragos Bucur (Zoran) and others. This intense, drama movie based on a true story is all about Siberian Gulag escapees making a desolate and dangerous trip around 4,000 miles away for their freedom from the tyranny that was taking place in that time period. I really did find this movie fascinating as it showed the dramatic, intense and courageous journey these escapees went through due to the oppression they were up against by Stalin's insanity. So if you are like me and watch the military and history channel quite a bit I believe you will find this true life and amazing story something you won't want to miss.

The Dilemma

This movie was directed by Ron Howard AKA Opie as a child acting star and the movie was a comedy, drama movie starring Vince Vaughn (Ronny Valentine), Kevin James (Nick Brannen and other big acting stars like Queen Latifah and Winona Ryder. The movie is essentially about a man who gets I guess you could say an interesting case of the crazies after he sees that his best friends wife is in fact cheating on his friend. The movie was both quite dramatic and humorous at other times. I would say altogether that the movie was good because I found a way to become to get to enjoy some of the characters and loathe other ones not to mention that this movie has a positive and humorous message at times. So I would have to recommend this movie that I think works good because it has elements at different times of heavy drama and humor!

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

This adventure, family, fantasy, movie directed by Michael Apted stars Georgie Henley (Lucy Pevensie), Skandar Keynes (Edmund Pevensie) and others. The movie is about Lucy and Edmund's return to Narnia along with their cousin Eustace. The three of them then embark on a magical journey with Prince Caspian aboard the Dawn Treader and to the edge of the world where they come across a wide range of very interesting, somewhat peculiar, and fascinating characters! As you can see in the trailer the movie has highly interesting special effects, is a neat adventure story, which I am sure most kids will like and certainly somewhat comical with characters like talking animals. I would say that the movie was entertaining enough to enjoy! Although I also thought it was perhaps a tad cheesy for lack of a better word and easy to configure at times but the retina of my eyes were still bouncing around because of all the out of the ordinary scenes of adventure. So I believe essentially this movie is very good just as long as you don't mind some of the predictable elements that it seemed to me exist in this journey of Narnia story.

The Green Hornet

This action, crime, thriller, comedy picture was directed by Michel Gondry and stars Seth Rogen (Britt Reid), Jay Chou (Kato), Cameron Diaz (Lenore Case), and others. The movie is about a wealthy fellow teaming up with someone who worked for him (Kato) to become a crime fighting force that also comes to be recognized as The Green Hornet all over. Well this movie is not the common style to win academy awards because the acting many not be so deep at times but I believe if you go see this movie you will not find a dull moment. It was quite funny and it kept me on the edge as I awaited the next great scene of humor or some form of action. I also know that if you like Batman and have a sense of humor this is a nice picture to see because the Green Hornet kind of reminds me of a cloned Bruce Wayne that had just a few minor details in working out the kinks of the cloning process perhaps, you know! So yeah in other words I thought this movie did a nice job in all the facets it was suppose to present, which you can also get from the trailer below, and I believe that all of you reading this blog right now should consider going to see The Green Hornet!

Season of the Witch

This adventure, drama, fantasy movie was directed by Dominic Sena and stars Nicolas Cage (Behmen), Ron Perlman (Felson) and others. In this story 14th century knights transport a suspected witch for a trial and embark on a creepy adventure that reveals all sorts of surprises. Well do I think the movie was in some a way a bit silly, yes; and it was also a movie that although I was not exactly terrified watching but some of the characters in it if I saw them outside of the cinema I would probably become paralyzed with surprise, be unable to move and awkwardly be standing there yelling in shock at their blood curling, ghastly appearances, my goodness! So what I am getting at here is that the movie was fun to watch because you know it is not real life, my golly, and I believe it did manage a way to have a alright story to it, which kind of acted like a roller coaster ride of suspense; although I am not into demonic movies generally cause I believe they typically just have to many weird vibes but this one was not to bad in that category so it seems. So my grade for this movie would probably be about a B-, but I just want to say that if you think it is higher good for you cause I am not sure if there in actuality always truly any right or wrong answers in this movie review business.

Little Fockers

This comedy movie was directed by Paul Weitz and stars Ben Stiller (Greg Focker), Robert Deniro (Jack Byrnes), Owen Wilson (Kevin Rawley), and others. This movie is a continium of what the other movies have been in the past were you have the ever strict and funny Jack Byrnes breathing down the neck of Gaylord Focker AKA Greg Focker. In this third movie I think it is open to interpretation who acts the most goofy this time around, whether it be Jack, Greg, Kevin, perhaps even the little Fockers and so on. I don't believe it was as priceless as the first movie Meet the Parents, but it was still fun essentially seeing these intricate characters try and keep their sanity for an hour and thirty eight minutes! I believe between the intensity of the characters, their humorous and craziness or perhaps better put yet wild kookiness this movie is a fairly decent comedy to go see in theaters right now! Oh also I found one of those little movie fun facts were I saw that in one scene I saw the microphone boom above Ben Stiller's head in the shot when he was speaking to one of his little Fockers!

Tangled

This movie was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard and is a animation, comedy, family movie starring Mandy Moore (Rapunzel), Zachary Levi (Flynn Rider), Donna Murphy (Mother Gothel) and others. The movie is about a love story involving Rapunzel and a bandit she falls in love, whom takes her on an adventure into the outside world from her home were her mother at once had made sure she remained for her entire life. The movie was a pleasant Disney cartoon tale that involved humor and a love story, so yeah it is hard to give the movie a tough review and plus the acting was done by cartoons so that's kind of out of the question to critique as well! Anyhow back to my point I really did find the characters to be just that characters; the story also I would say was very adventurous and exciting; so I truly believe that this movie falls above the standards for any Disney movie, unlike a few I have seen in the past decade that seemed a little dry. So yeah, sure, absolutely go see this movie if you are in a real animation, fairy tale mood, with characters that I am sure will somehow find a way to most definitely make you laugh or smile sooner or later.
