Comedies

Semi Pro- 6.5/10
A typical Will Ferrel Movie It had it's moments but he needs to switch it up like he did in Stranger Than Fiction because he is getting a little old.

Balls Of Fury-7/10
Funny but needed a bit more. Christopher Walken is great in it though and it has some funny moments. The lead actor has some potential.

More movie reviews

Here's another slew of movies I saw this week.

Atonement-8/10
A sad, depressing movie. If you like sweeping romantic, tear-jerking dramas this is for you. I loved Saoirse Ronan's performance, my favorite part of the movie, although Keira Knightley and James Mcavoy were excellent aswell.

Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street-10/10
Honestly? Amazing. Johnny Depp's best performance to date. Helena Bonam Carter was robbed of an oscar nomination. Great songs,great performances. If you love Johnny Depp,Tim Burton,Musicals or the original play then you will LOVE this movie.

Good Luck Chuck-6.5/10
The ending was cute but it was a little raunchy. I giggled a few times. Dane Cook is ver funny but he hasn't made his funniest movie yet. If you like raunchy comedies you'll like this one.

The Invasion-7/10
Ending was abrupt and predictable. But the rest of the movie had me screaming at the screen. DRIVE,SHOOT HIM,TURN RIGHT etc.... Nicole Kidman is awesome as always. Good movie based on the invasion of the body snatchers.

I will make my top 10 list of 2007 after I see No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood so I can make a proper top 10 list.

This Week's Movie Review

Here are some reviews of movies I watched this week lets start with....

Gone Baby Gone- 10/10
ok let's just sum this up with a few things
Casey Affleck-wow
Amy Ryan-wow
ending-wow
Morgan Freeman-wow
Michelle Monaghan-wow
If I were given the choice to chose an academy award winner for best supporting actress it would have been given to Amy Ryan I literally stopped breathing. Excellent performance.

Michael Clayton-9/10
I thought I would like this alot more than I did.
It didn't hit me with anything I thought there would be more. Although Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson, and George Clooney gave the best performances of their careers the standout was Tom Wilkinson for making crazy look sane.

American Gangster-8.5/10
Gets points for Ruby Dee's performance but loses points for not putting her on screen more. Denzel Washington was great as always but I came in this movie with high expectations and again was a little dissapointed.

Jumper-9/10
An exciting movie that went fast and with obvious signs of a sequel (because of the ending) This might be a good franchise. No good performances but it was very fun to watch and exciting.

That's a review of some new releases this week I reccomend them all!
