    2012

    Today after finishing my stupid politics essay, I decided to treat myself to a movie. The movie I saw was “2012” and I have to say it was a magnificent movie. Everything you could ever want in a movie is there. “2012” is on my list of movies to see coming out at the end of the year.

    The movie starts of with a geologist who figures out that the world is coming to an end. There is a lot of science I can’t really explain, but the point is that the world will come to an end on December 21st 2012. It is 2009 when he figures this out, and what he does is tell the United States government. The U.S tells the rest of the world governments and all of them decide to build huge ships so that they can save humanity as we know it. To put...

    'The Box'

    The Box is on my list of must see movies before the year ends. The Box stars Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Langella. It is directed by Richard Kelly who also directed Donnie Darko.

    Let me start of by saying if you like Donnie Darko then you might like this movie. The Box is very weird; it is a sci-fi film and plays with the audience’s mind from the beginning.

    Basically a man named Mr. Steward shows up at Norma and Arthur’s(Diaz and Marsden) house and gives them a box. He explains to Norma that all she and her husband have to do is push the big red button, and they will get one million dollars. But there is a catch, Duh! The catch is when they press the button someone somewhere will die. Mr. Steward is very mysterious and creepy man, who knows and sees everything.

    What Norma...

    Some movies I'm looking forward to:

    So its October and we are almost done the year but yet there are so many movies yet to come. I have made a list of movies that I want to see that are yet to come out. There is a lot of movies and thinking about it makes me so excited that I just I can't stand it. I know I am a little over the top but what can I say I love movies. Here are the first Five and I will put the second set of movies next week.


    Well the number 1 movie that I can't wait to see is "New Moon".

    Oh my goodness I love the twilight series and I have been waiting to see this movie since Twilight came out. The book is so much fun to read and I have to admit I have read it like 7 times and...

    Film review: Law Abiding Citizen

    So I went and checked out a movie this weekend and the one I chose was Law Abiding Citizen. The movie stars Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler and is directed by F. Gary Gray (Italian Job).

    I have to say this movie is one of the best movies I have seen all year. There is so much action it literally takes you for a ride. The movie is about Clyde (played by Butler) who loses his wife and daughter to two robbers.

    The two men are caught; one gets the death penalty then other goes to jail for only ten years. His lawyer Nick (played by Foxx) does nothing to really help Clyde to make sure that justice is served.

    Ten years later two of the robbers die a horrible death and everyone is left wondering who did it. Clyde decides to take things into his own hands and...
