"ThumbWars/ThumbTanic"

Synoposis:A spoof of two classics,Star Wars and Titanic.But instead of useing people they use....THUMBS.

Review😖ince I try to review every movie the same no matter what kind of movie it is...here it goes.First of all on a good note,I have to say these movies where Hilarious perfect spoofs of Star Wars and Titanic and had me laughing out loud so many times.Its actually funny how certain thumbs represent those people and there actual attitudes.On a bad note even though these movies are hilarious they do get kind of old after a while.My suggestion is watch them one at a time 😉

"ThumbWars/ThumbTanic"-4/5

"13 Going on 30"

Synopsis: Described as a female "Big." It's about a 13-year-old girl who dreams of being popular. During her birthday party, she engages in a party game called Seven Minutes in the Closet. It turns out to be a humiliating experience for her, and she refuses to come out of the closet and be subjected to more embarrassment. When she eventually does emerge, she finds herself five days shy of her 30th birthday, looking fabulous and extremely popular.

Review-I didnt like this movie at all.First of all I didnt care about these characters.It rushed into the 30 stages too quickly leaving hardly anytime for story or character development during there 13 stages.This girls life is so horrible because of how some preps used her on her 13th birthday....big deal.Second of all the relationship between Jenna and this guy isnt even realistic.They have these really romantic moments during the film and never once does this guy even worry about the fact that hes engaged.And then he plays it off like everythings cool never once metioning it.Im sorry this movie just didnt work for me it was just to much of a fairytale and an unconvincing one at that.

"Unbreakable"

Synoposis-Bruce Willis plays David Dunn a security guard at a football staduim who after escaping a train crash unharmed begains questioning his body and his inner strengths.With the help of Elijah Price(Samuel L. Jackson)who believes he has powers and reason for never being ill or sick in his entire life.

Review-I finished this movie for the first time this afternoon,and I have to say that I really enjoyed it.I do and will always love M.Nights Shyamalans work because he is such a skilled director who can tell these storys in such a way that you feel like your right there with the characters and they encounter this mysterious journey.I really enjoyed Samuel L. Jackson to and I think he should have got an oscar nod for this.All and all "Unbreakable" was a good movie worth an instant purchase and also comes with a tasty 2 disc set.

"Umbreakable"-5/5

A lot of people didnt like Unbreakable, I did though but I wouldnt be a generous as you are. The scene were Dunn takes the role of the hero and helps the two kids is marvelously done, especially the part were he falls in the pool. The talking in the movie is always in whispers, its also a bit slow but fundamentally, if you have patience, you'll notice its a good film.

It is a good film and I do have patience 😄

Ned Kelly

Based on a true story about man who is wrongly accused of a crime and runs off with a group of his friends. ( i suck at summaries) Basically an austraillian version of Billy the kid, not as funny.

I really hadn't heard of Ned Kelly, but I picked it up because of the cast (Orlando Bloom, Heath Ledger, Naomi Watts, Geoffrey Rush), thinking great eye candy movie...but I was wrong the movie was actually good. It had you feeling really bad for Ned Kelly, Joe Bern, and the rest of his gang. Orlando is the comic relief in this movie, which is a surprise considering some of his more popular roles. I think any one would enjoy this film, except for those who don't like those 'western' type movies. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 8.

good choice there, JohnnyLove19.

NED KELLY was never released in my country, but thanks to my Aussie mate who sent me a DVD copy i was able to watch this gem of a movie. it's quite gripping. i think the performances were great, especially that of heath ledger and orlando bloom. one could sense their closeness...

this is a piece of australian history that anyone could relate to...i recommend it...

Tomorrow-"Hellboy"

"Hellboy"

Synopsis: In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use black magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon--Hellboy(Perlman)--has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil.

Review-First of I have to say that I really enjoyed this film.I mean its funny,action-packed,and has awesome CGI.What more do you need?Hellboy was done wonderfully,and Rob Perlin did a very good job of playing the man from hell.I also think that Hellboy is even more wittier than Spider-Man and makes it all the more enjoyable on screen.Selma Blair was also a real plus to the film,always a joy seeing her onscreen.All an All,go rent this film,you wont be wasting your money 😉

"Hellboy"-4/5

from hell is good ....
a tad gross in parts but out of 10 i wud give it 8.5

Before I see Kill Bill Vol .2 I just want to give my review on vol 1 which I saw in Feb. when it was released on dvd.

"Kill Bill vol 1"

Synoposis-Shot on her wedding day along with everyone else attending including the groom "The Bride" wakes up 4 years later out of a coma and decides to seek revenge on the ones responsible and eventually "Kill Bill".

Review-I really did not like this film.It focused more on the mindless gore than on the diolage and the story.In the fight scene with The Bride and Vernita Green I wish they would have had a bigger fight instead of

Spoiler:
killing her with a knife after she drew a gun

"Kill Bill vol 1"-2/5

Hidalgo

You shoud've just left this stuff in my thread and not have made you own 😬

"9/11"

Synoposis-This is the story of what started out as a documentary of a fire fighters first few months on the job but turned into a documentary about 9/11 and some of the best footage that we have of what happened at the world trade centers.

Review-This is one of the few movie that made me cringe.I was watching all this footage in awe and in disbelief.They show you a firemans journey to becoming a man they take you before 9/11 and eventually build up to the day itself.This movie shows it all,the buildings getting hit,all the awe and fear on peoples faces,inside of the buildings and what firefighters where doing to get the people out,the buildings collasping,and then the aftermath.This truly is a powerful film that I think people of all ages should see.

"9/11"-5/5

"Kill Bill vol .2"

Synopsis: After dispensing with former colleagues O-Ren Ishii and Vernita Green in Kill Bill Vol. 1, the Bride resumes her quest for justice. With those two down, the Bride has two remaining foes on her 'Death List' to pursue – Budd (Madsen) and Elle Driver (Hannah) – before moving on to her ultimate goal -- to kill Bill (Carradine).

Review-I have to say that I enjoyed this movie far more than the first.It really more on the story and the characters than the senseless violence that made me hate the first so much.David Carradine is wonderful as "Bill" hes smart,charming,and incredily mean and violent.During the chapter of this movie we get to see what really happened on the "The Brides" wedding day.I enjoyed every minute of that scene.The diolage is just so thought out and so well written that I forgot all about my hate towards vol .1 and looked at this as a whole different movie.It put the bride in positions that you never thought she could get out of and it made you really worry for her.All and All go rent this movie and if you havent seen the first just skip it and watch this movie instead.

Well, the "senseless violence" wasn't that senseless at all. It comes with the territory in Tarantino films. It was merited in the original, aside from being his film, because of what The Bride endured to begin with. It was a martial arts film more or less, anyway, so swordplay is a given.

The dialogue, IMO, was dull, longwinded and uninspired for the most part. It was just..average, like something you'd hear in a Natalie Portman drama.

As for The Bride, if she could come back from being shot in the head, which we learned in the original, there wasn't anything I didn't think she could do, personally, so I never really felt any sense of urgency. Besides, the amount of sappy drama in the 2nd installment really just threw the franchise for a curve.

These movies should have never been split up. The fact that the majority of the movie focuses on the flashbacks, more so than her exacting her revenge, it would have been alot smarter to have just explained the Bride's backstory in the original at the beginning. Then, in the sequel, don't waste any time explaining her training and crap, which was boring to watch as it is, and totally out of place, and have her go after Bud and Elle Driver, leading up to a climatic ending with Bill.

Speaking of the ending, what a pathetic close. I guess Q.T. found some poetic justice in having the Bride killing off Bill the way she did. It was just like.."that's it?!" Oy.

Eh, well, I guess we'll have to wait until his "Dirty Dozen" ripoff to hit theatres before we can pass final judgement on his apparent foray into the realm of drama.

I guess taking out 5,000 ninjas all at once earns that merit badge as well.

Seriously, though, one comment about the first one which sums it up 100% for me and kept me the hell away from Vol. II: I have never, ever, ever, seen a movie so full of itself as Kill Bill Vol. I. I think that and cocky teenagers make up my biggest pet peeves right now.

It was senseless and even Tarantino said it himself on the Special Features that people where coming up and asking him where the characters that we loved.He knew what he was doing.He knew that he was gonna fill the first with mindless gore and just explain the story in the second.I agree with you the opening sequence in the 2nd should've just been in the first,because it might've made me happier and make me care more about the bride.

Anyways I found the diolage rather interesting.It keep me sort of in suspense just to see what these characters where gonna say next or how they where going to respond to a question.But problay the thing I loved most about the second is Bill.MAN! Carradine did a good job.

The ending needed work tho and if they where going to go with that whole

Spoiler:
exploding heart thing they should've showed the heart exploding out of the body.That would've been sweet 😎
