Gnomeo & Juliet

This animation, adventure, comedy, romance type of movie was directed by Kelly Asbury and stars the voices of James McAvoy (Gnomeo), Emily Blunt (Juliet), Michael Caine (Lord Redbrick) and others. This take on the legendary Shakespeare story is about two groups of Gnomes: The Blues and Reds and what just occurred to me is that I bet Shakespeare would be rolling over in laughter and perhaps flattered to know that his love story was going to be adapted by both grumpy and cute mini lawn trinkets, just a thought I had a moment ago! Anyhow one group are from Montague and the other from Capulet and they happen to be furious which each other and what comes to be is that Gnomeo a blue and Juliet a red fall in love together. Well you might find the movie fascinating depending upon your preference for lawn gnomes. However I don't believe this story about these little munchkins exactly derailed but I was expecting it to be a bit more humorous and filled with more characters who were a bit more likable like the Donkey from Shrek. So I thought the movie was about average as it did hold my attention for a variety of reasons, but one way or the other that could just be my acquired taste talking so I do recommend checking out the trailer below-

Limitless

This mystery, thriller movie was directed by Neil Burger and stars Bradley Cooper (Eddie Moora) Robert Deniro (Carl Van Loon), Abby Cornish (Abby) and others. The story is about a struggling writer who is introduced to a new drug that enables him to use more then just ten percent of his brain, which they say humans only do, although I am not entirely sure if that is true. This movie was filled with a variety of elements that contained suspense, action, creativity, romance, mystery throughout, with a rather fascinating plot making not boring for me and so I will just say yeah for these reasons I would have to give this movie a certain 10 out of the ten pecent of my brain that loves movies!

The Adjustment Bureau

This romance, sci fi, thriller movie was directed by George Nolfi and stars Matt Damon (David Norris), Emily Blunt (Elise Sellas), Anthony Mackie (Harry Mitchell) and others. The story goes that a love affair between a politician and women is torn about from mysterious forces for their own personal reasons, which I won't tell you because this is a big part of the movie! Well I found this movie to be fascinating and unique as you have antagonists and protagonist's that I have not exactly seen before from Hollywood movies. It would have been nice to understand more about where the adjustment bureau people came from, but everything else was perfecto in my opinion and I would recommend this movie as it was one of the best I have seen in a long time!

The Battle of Los Angeles

This action, sci fi, thriller directed by Jonathan Liebesman stars Aaron Eckhart (SSgt. Michael Nantz), Ramon Rodriguez (2nd Lt. William Martinez) Cory Hardrict (Cpl. Jason Lockett) and others. The story is about SSgt. Michael Nantz who has reached his retirement but is not order to go back into battle as alien invaders take over Los Angeles. Well first off I have to say I feel bad for the Paul alien character whom seems pretty cool right now, cause just when aliens are trying to come back with a good reputation in Hollywood they attack Los Angeles!! But in all seriousness this movie seemed to me will probably not win the Hollywood manuscript award for it's story that did not seem that complex compared to others but I believe it has some strengths for pure amusement purposes; meaning to say it was entertaining from time to time just watching these aliens movie around on the screen. So all in all I think most might find this movie to be in the average range if there looking for something that is more then just a great work of special effects!

Unknown

This action, drama, mystery is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and stars Liam Neeson (Dr. Martin Harris), January Jones (Elizabeth Harris), Diane Kruger (Gina) and others. The story is about a man Dr. Martin Harris who awakes from a coma to find that his wife does not know who he is and that his identity has been taken. The movie was entertaining for me because this plot was a what if situation I have thought about before if your identity was wiped off the face of the planet and as a matter of fact if you ever google your name you might just see all sorts of random intriguing stuff you know! Unknown was like a roller coaster that got me hooked because there was always something I was unsure about and at least made me continue to think about to some extent and of course the exciting and fake Hollywood car explosions and action intermingled between the plot made this movie something I could recommend!

I Am Number Four

This action, sci fi, thriller, is directed by D.J. Caruso, based on the book by Pittacus Lore and stars Alex Pettyfer (John), Timothy Olyphant (Henri), Teresa Palmer (Number 6) and others. This supernatural type of story is about John who is a very unique high schooler who possess interesting abilities and whom is on the run against a deadly enemy who probably need true psychiatric help and whom have come to destroy him just like they had the three individuals before himself. Well I found that the first part of this movie was really interesting as various facts about the characters were emerging. The later part of the movie was good to but it was not quite as uniquely mysterious as the first part as I am someone who has seen a lot of movies. But overall I have to say combined all as one this movie was quite entertaining and is worth going to see if you are by any means in the mood for this type of genre of film!

The Kings Speech

This biography, drama, history movie is the story of King George VI whom inherits the throne, as his ever important goal of speaking better publicly becomes more crucial. I know that the people who created this movie did well at the Oscars, such as the director Tom Hooper, as well as the actors and actresses, like Colin Firth (King George VI), Helena Bonham Carter (Queen Elizabeth), Derek Jacobi (Archbishop Cosmo Lang) and so forth. The movie was a little dry at times but on the whole I though they stretched the story line of the movie out efficiently: an interesting royal king who when speaks is hoping to make audiences cry but instead words fly like drivel from a fountain with a broken plumbing system. Anyhow the fact that this movie was a true story and there were a few hilarious scenes like when the the king is practicing his warm up speaking in his lessons. So yeah I would certainly recommend this movie as it is a significant piece of European history and now a significant piece of movie history all over as it raked in the recent Hollywood academy award points!!

Sanctum

This movie is directed by Alister Grierson and stars Richard Roxburgh (Frank), Ioan Gruffudd (Carl), Rhys Wakefield (Josh) and others. This action, adventure, drama movie is the story of an underwater cave diving team who have an encounter that is one heck of an uphill battle within an cave that is new to human explorers. I believe this movie strong points is that it seemed to be an exciting but dramatic adventure that is based on true events according to the director. What happens to the characters in the movie surely will make you realize how dangerous underwater cave diving can be, in fact I think I might stay at the pool and scuba at my hotel if I just so happen to take a trip to Papa New Guinea in the near future. Anyhow back to the point it seemed to me that this is really an amazing story like Jon Krakauer and his book "Into Thin Air" or the story of Ernest Shackleton the explorer of the Arctic as I found this movie was really chocked full of intense, adventure that should keep you and your friends on your edge of your seat!
