This is one of those football inspiration stories that you really enjoy. I think Mark Wahlberg did a fantastic job playing Vince Papale, he fit the character really well. Its a story taking place in the 1970s about a normal guy in Philidelphia who works as a bar tender at local pub and tries out for the Philidelphia Eagles and makes it. This movie shows how a city’s hopes depend on this football team. Showing the relationship between the team and its fan, and the hopes that the people have in the team when they are going through tough times. I have to admit that I like football movies so I knew that I was going to enjoy this movie.

I was looking forward to watching this movie since Clive Owen is it, and it was an interesting story about the world being infertile. So the world has plunged into chaos and the UK is the only safe haven. The situation of chaos is similar to the movie 28 Days Later, but its humans against humans. Owen is living in this closed up society in the UK, and just living his life and you slowly find out more about him and you find out why he acts the way he does. Then he is battling for this persons life and for society, and going with his instincts. It just leaves you in the end to think of what conclusion might of happened and how society might have changed. Overall it was a good movie, but I thought it would be a bit better.

This is one of the funniest movies of 2006 hands down. I just kept hearing from people that it was such a funny movie so I had to see it. I have to say that it lived up to its reputation and more, we were laughing so hard. Borat went through every type of stereotype there is in the US. I loved how they were politically incorrect. Borat was pissing certain people off and it seemed completely oblivious to him. For each area he stopped in the US something funny as hell had to happen. And his producer who is tagging along is just as entertaining. Their antics is nothing short of hilarious. If you watch anything this year then watch this movie, my head was hurting because I was laughing so much.

I just left the states after one day before this movie was coming out back in June! And I was really looking forward to it since Im a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. I had an idea of how this movie was going to be but I wasn’t sure what to expect at the time. I thought it was a total Romantic comedy but it turned out to be better then that. Vince plays his cocky character so well, in this relationship he showed his flaws and what is mssing from it. Jennifer is great in this character and she is the free spirited one with the wacky family on her side. The entertaining part is seeing what the other does to piss the other one off the most. They care about each other, but they also can’t stand each other. Its a great movie to watch and really entertaining, it turned out better then I expected.

This movie is based on the book Eragon and in the movie it has a a great storyline development with the dragon. Eragon has fantastic effects, and a very believable dragon. I like the actors they picked to fit the characters, but I just wished Jeremy Irons had more in it then he did and John Malkovich is in the movie and he is brilliant he didnt have a great role but he played his character amazingly, he seems to have a huge role in the sequel. This gives you enough to make you happy and sets it up for the sequel. Overall Im very satisfied even though I know this is the first part of two and I cant wait to see part two. If you like fantasy/sci-fi then you will love this movie, and in Kuwait there was only one or two cut scenes it didn’t have any affect really.

This was an entertaining movie for Robin Williams I really didn’t know what to expect but I did enjoy it. This movie is a combination of comedy and drama which Williams did a great job with. Another flavor to the movie that I really liked is Christopher Walken’s character, I like how he plays the tough guy and he plays those roles with a comedic air to him. The whole process of Robin Williams running for President is great, he was on a roll in this movie and he had the right people around him to make it very entertaining. The storyline was a bit off since some parts did connect fully but it didn’t make it any less entertaining in my opinion.

This epic movie really got to me because I really like how they portrayed King Arthur for once. He is portrayed as human being instead of the legend that they keep making him to be, behind the legend is a real man. I especially like Clive Owen in this movie he doest a fantastic job with the men of round table and incorporating their story with the time of Roman Empire when England was under the control of Cesar. The action is great, the story is great, and I really appreciate the realism in this movie. I think they couldn’t have picked a better actor to portray the strength and humbleness of Arthur then Clive Owen.

This is probably the best collection of James Bond Movies that I have seen. There was a box set that came out a while back with all them in it, but this is just too enticing Im going to have to get it. You have to buy each one seperatly but the set all together looks so great. I have a set that I got from hawally which honestly doesn’t look too bad but I think that having the original is a must and this got me going again. This is a must for James Bond fans!

I had a feeling this movie was going to be good, but I wasnt completely sure. Kevin Costner has had a few misses the past couple of movies and I wasn’t sure about Ashton Kutcher in this movie, but I have to say that I was pleasently surprised. A few people kept recommending this movie to me and I have to say that its a pretty good movie about Costner being the Veteran Coast Guard and Kutcher being the new hot shot in the Coast Guard. It is all about what people go through in this line of work and the relationships they form. In kuwait there were only a few cut scenes but it didnt have a bad affect on the movie. You get pulled into the story and you will really like the characters.

I really feel like watching a movie in the theater. I haven’t done that in a long time since most of the movies are butchered in Kuwait due to the censorship program of the religious MPs which are rediculously pointless and childish.
That aside I have really wanted to watch the Gridiron Gang with The Rock, and I really like the guy in the movies. He has this cool type of character just like in Walking Tall. I usually like sports movies especially American Football movies, and this movie came out a few days after my visit to the states came to an end. So now its in Kuwait and I dont think there is much to be cut in this movie. So I will be checking it out.
The other movie I want to see is the The Guardian since some bloggers mentioned that it isnt that cut up compared to Casino Royale. So I have two choices at this point, but I’m leaning towards the Gridiron Gang.
