Unforgiven (Movie Review)


"You just shot an unarmed man!"
"He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."


Another western film by Clint Eastwood, however don't expect any gun slinging mass body count in this flick. In fact there is hardly any "showdowns" except the last scene which in my opinion is probably one of the best western shootout I have ever seen. The story is about Clint Eastwood as a retired "outlaw" raising is kids in the middle of now where. Until a young punk with a smith&wesson revolver tells him some "ol lady in Wyoming got her faced slashed and all beat up by some local," then comes the adventure. The story is actrully more developed then the way I put it, in fact its alot better, in short the story combines the old west legends with the changing of times, to what is justice and what is a crime. Eastwood meets up with his partner Morgan Freeman (so cool) and then start there trek to this town. The town is run by this god complex sheriff Gene Hackman who acts like the town is his, and hes "saving" every one from bad people. The most interesting part about this movie is how the west is being lost to technology, which adds a fascinating level of ideas to the film. Without giving too much up, its a good flick, I wouldn't say it was amazing due to some parts were possibly a little over developed, however watch this movie as if it wasn't a "Western" film and you'll enjoy it, the ending is very satisfying.

Breaking Away (Movie Review)


"What are we gonna do about him?"
"I don't know dear. We could always strangle him while he's asleep."


Well, lets put it this way when people ask me that question, "whats your favorite movie," I am always dumb struck because i watch way too many movies that its getting difficult to even drop a name down on what is my favorite of all time. So, maybe one day I'll put it all down on paper like a top 10 an easily, this takes one of the top 3 spots, easily. Its so hard to lay down on words because this movie goes rises to a whole different level of amazing. For a very brief summary, its about a four kids who graduate high school and are named by society "Cutters," mainly because their family's aren't wealthy and they don't' go to University of Indiana. In short its a coming of age story about finding who you are, but that's is a very very general, this movie has epic bicycle racing, College fights, Comedy, Family drama, and Co-eds. This movie strives to be great because of the story, the story is so well though out so tightly organized there's never a moment where you want to stop watching. In fact this movie even won an Academy Award for best Original Screen play, and deserves it. I am at a lost for words now, words can't explain..

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs (Movie Review)


"Hey, Flint. It's been nice to beet you."
"That's a radish!"


I remember in my childhood that this was one of my favorite book growing up as a kid. Sure, enough i was surprised to see that Sony animation studios was going to be turning it into an animation film. At first i thought it was going to be a total joke, and completely destroy the image of the classic children's novel. However I was pleasantly surprised, it was a decent film, what made it enjoyable for me was the main character played by andy samberg, who looked incredibly simliary to the main charater... kind of. While the film dosn't follow the book, instead it just uses the imagination from the book, and then wrote a completley different story. So instead of the coulds raining food because of "a change of weater," the coulds rained food because the main character scientists kid created an invention that turns water into food, fucks up and ends up sending the invention into the coulds, making it rain food. The story worked quite well for me, the only part that stood out at me as being iffy was, that the movie started off so well that it never really brings you back up to that excietment level. Same goes with the laughs i found my self laughing a lot during the first part then....... didn't really laugh as the movie went on. Don't get me wrong its still a good movie, but some times you should start off slow with your appatizers then when you get your entree endulge your self and enjoy the last bites, but either way you'll get full in the end. (oh yeah, almost forgot and Mr. T has a voice role)

Departures (Movie Review)

"Don't touch me you're filthy"

Well, I finaly saw this movie, when it received an academy award last year for best foreign film, i was instantly hooked. The movie takes place in tokyo were a young talented man who plays the cello is fired from the orchestra, and has to sell his professional cello, inorder to move to his old home in the country. His wife agrees to come with him, and "support" him, however she does far from that espeically during the middle of the movie. While were at it lets talk about his wife, im not sure if the director perposely wanted her to act hella asian, or if that just how she acts in reall life, either way it made me really want to put duck tape on her mouth. Anyways... he ends up finding an add for a travel agency, but it turns out to be a Departed company. A departed company shown through this movie goes to your house were the deseased lay, and they expertly clean the body and carefully dressed them in a kimono. Some parts are comical in the movie because the "cello boy" is really nasious at the sight of dead bodys. However he soon realizes the effect this job has on the families who watch them prepare the deceased. Families would come up to his boss and thank him for making them look so "beautiful". Im going to stop there because, its a really great movie that needs to be watched, sure it might be a little slow at times, and the ending could be seen a mile away, but its deffentily a masterpiece of its own.

MIchael Clayton (Movie Review)


"You're so fucked. Here let me get a picture while I'm at it"


Following the live of, you guessed it lawyer Michael Clayton, a lawyer that specializes in cleaning up other peoples problems, or fuck ups. As the movie progresses you soon realize that even though he is one of the best in his field he is addicted to gambling, and is in debt from a local loan shark for his failing restaurant. This character development alone stands for its self and really lets the viewer understand how messed up his life really is even if it seems like he makes thousands of dollars. As the story continues you'll soon find out about this conspiracy agianst this major company, and of course nothing falls into place. Its hard not to summarize because that's were this movie shines, is within the story and directing. Nothing about this movie really stood at me as bad, maybe some parts were slow, but it really didn't pull me away from not liking it, if anything it made me want to watch it more, because I wanted to find out what was going to happen. Granted this movie is about lawyers and politics, so don't expect any fist fights or gun shooting. Instead watch this, and you'll be wondering from start to finish whats going to happen next, all the way up to the most suprising ending i have ever seen.
