intriguing - true story - satisfying ending - fun science - las vegas

Good acting, smart directing, the storyline was amazing and although the ending wasn't exactly a shock to the brain or emotions, but all in all, considering its based on a true story. Oh did i mention I think MIT is the worlds most amazing institution? (not based on movie)

I give it a 4.5/5.


Ironman

action - sci-fi - political - afghanistan

Its like the best of Transformers and Batman combined, in toehr words, repeated a bit. Not much of a plot to work with, didn't figure out why they had all those shots in Afghanistan. Odd they didn't Usama bin Laden or Al-Qaeda throughout the movie. The comic was a nice read as a kid, but this is sth else, wonderful acting from Robert Downi Jr., and very much fit for young audiences.

I give it a 3/5.


August RUsh

great music - emotionally packed - love story

A contemporary take at the classic Oliver Twist, with the depiction of the artful dodger in the talented young musician who helps our hero find lodgings and food.

I cried at least twice and sobbed throughout a third of the movie, I don't know whether it was the music, or the idea of music reuniting a family, I love music, so this movie really struck a chord so as to speak.

I can't think of anything but a 4.5/5


Atonement

romance - WWII - remorse - will power

I don't usually see movies with the keywords I put up for this one, but it was a touch to the soul, I found it depicting the struggle of ones ongoing persuit to redeam oneself of prior mistakes and consequences that came of those mistakes. The cinematography was beautiful, not a dull moment throughout the movie.

A 4.5/5 would be suitable.


No country for old men

action - survival - boring

I am one of those guys who just didn't get it, I'm sorry Mr. Jones, but I just didn't get it. Boring most of the movie, ending was a dissapointment, watched it with a friend of mine, which turned into a two hour wait for the movie to finally begin. Then it ended.

I give it a 2/5 (I've seen worse)
