This is the movie following the original Van Wilder which was a huge comic hit a few years back. I still watch it and laugh since it was so good. This movie is a continuation of Taj who was mentored by Van, he is now continuing his higher studies in the United Kingdom. This takes a slightly different twist since now Taj is the main guy and he exudes confidence. This movie seemed to be playing more on the comical side then the original movie, but if you liked the original you will enjoy this one. This isn’t even close to the original movie but still very entertaining. Its a mix of American and British humor and has its funny parts, but its a movie see once, not again like the original.

I have been waiting for this movie since I heard about it. This movie about the Spartans versus the Persians in early times before the Romans. It revolves around 300 Spartans led by King Leonidas who went to Hells Gate to hold the Persians at the coast of Greece. The Spartans are true trained warriors making all other fighters look like amateurs. This movie depicts the intensity with which they believed in Sparta and their conviction in it. King Leonidas is a man you would be honored to serve, and in this movie they are pitted against a monster of an enemy but they still fight. This 300 put fear in the hearts of thousands of the Persian soldiers.
This movie is directed by the same person who directed Sin City and has this different feeling to it then most movies, what is amazing about this movie is that it makes the Battle scenes in Troy look like they were nothing. It also turns out their bodies are the real thing and not touched up. This movie is only 117 minutes look but it feels so short, the battle scenes are so exhilirating it gets your blood pumping. You have certain characters you like, and you get a feeling for the life of Sparta but your senses are completely taken over by the action of these 300 hundred against the monster of an army in front of them. This movie brings history to life, so much amazing action, and you really are enamored by everything in this movie. It has been added as one my favorite movies I have seen period.

I kept lots praises for this movie, and so I decided to watch this movie about Idi Ameen the “President” of Uganda. I didn’t know what exactly to expect but it starts off with Dr. Garrigan leaving Scotland to do humanitarian work in Uganda, going to a mission to help out as the second doctor. As things play out he meets President Idi Ameen, and things get interesting from there. This man is a Scottish Doctor and he likes things given to him straight and giving it straight, he hasn’t been used to the poiltical scene before. It gets really intense as the movie goes forward you get to see the real side of Idi Ameen, and all the twists and plots in this movie. I have to say that there were times where I was completely in shock of how unstable this man is, and what the dear Doctor got himself into. I don’t want to ruin this movie for anyone but it does have its slightly gory moments, and its extremely worth seeing. For a movie being this good, its shocking that this is a true story.

This was a movie I really wanted to see since it showed the perspective of the US Prisoners had in the Japanese camps, and this one was in the phillippines. James Franco and Benjamin Bratt are the two main actors in this movie, James Franco is known as the James Dean look a like and I really enjoy his acting. Especially in this movie he did a really great job acting out his part. This movie is split into two story lines, those men who want to save the US prisoners in the Prison Camp, and the men in the Prison Camp. There are better movies out there but overall this is a good movie and entertaining.

Rocky has a lot of sentimental meaning to all of us since we grew up watching these movies and we didn’t want it ruined by a new movie that might be try to milk a great franchise movie. I thought it wasn’t going to be too bad and I was afraid that they might try to make Rocky look like he was invincible in this movie. This movie turned out to be better then I expected, you really feel good about Rocky and how he is living his life. This movie is a lot about the Rocky back in the day and his iron will. This isn’t a movie trying to sell on its history, you feel that it has a bit of closure and Rocky does his thing. I felt good after watching it.

This is about a bunch of young American men training to be pilots in WWI to fight for the French before America entered the war. This is a true story and a well done movie, with a great cast of actors. Each one of these men come from different parts and for different reasons. They came to make a change and to have an affect, and their captain is Jean Reno who is the perfect character for this. They are all training to be great pilots, and they realize that they will loose their comrades when they have their first dog fight, its the scenes from the Dog Fights which mesmerize you in the movie. It is a bunch of American guys who are learning to live with each other and care about each other to do great things and fight for a reason. Everytime they take flight it is a hell of an adventure.

Christian Bale is one the greatest actors out there right now, he literaly is the character. No matter how you feel towards Christian Bale, you will love to hate him because of the character. This is one movie where you will utterly hate Christian Bale and get very caught up with the whole story. This story is about friends who are trying to find jobs, but they are side tracked because of drinking and smoking up, Bale is in a strange part of his life but he is also very dependent on his friend. Christian Bale is a bastard in this movie that you really want to hate, and his friend is stuck with him. If you like Christian Bale then you have to see this movie, but it is violent so it requires a specific taste.

I really enjoy Will Smith movies and he has had a string of good movies, but this movie is completely about the character and how he conveys it. I have to say that you really get into this movie, and especially for me I have a special spot for San Francisco. This man is doing all that he can to keep his family afloat, and things just aren’t working out. He keeps his head and trys to do the best that he can for his son. This is a true life story of Chris Gardner, and the best part of the whole movie is watching Will Smith’s son in his first debut movie. I have to say that the kid is amazing, you really warm up to him and love the adorable guy. This is one of Will Smith’s best you see the side of him we don’t usually see. There is a lot I want to say, but I don’t want to ruin the moviefor anyone. A great story with a lot of heart.

Now this was one intense movie, its about Mayans vs. Aztecs from what I could tell. And you are faced but one young man called Jaguar Paw and it follows their way of life and how their way of life is disrupted. What is so intense is how savage they are yet it seems so normal, its not that you get used to seeing it on the screen but you realize that it is a matter of fact issue for them and they do what they have to do to survive. It gets you thinking about past cultures and your own culture of what is considered the norm and thinking if anything is wrong based on people looking at it from the outside. At the same time when you get a feeling for the people in the village you realize there is no difference between them and yourself because you feel you can relate to how they interact. This movie isn’t for the light hearted and I really liked it.
