The lincoln lawyers - 7/10... heving been a fan of courtroom drama such as A few good men, and my cousin vinney, I had to watch this one. From the beginning of the movie, with the picture and music, it felt like I was watching a B list movie. Throughout the movie, it seemed as if there was a lot of product advertising not found in other movies... A blatent minute maid carton was seen on the table, along with other products shown. But to the movie, Matt M & Marisa T did a nice job each in their respective roles, and Ryan Phillipe continues to be the asshole of a bad guy in nearly every movie hes in. However the story was lacking. normal story about a rich white kid who gets into trouble and hotshot lawyer must get him out... of course the overbearing rich white mother causes much trouble alnog the way... reminds me a 2 hour matlock story. Unfortunately, the character Mr Haller (aka hot shot lawyer) fails to live up to the standard set by the witty tom cruise, and just makes himself out to be the dirtbag who ultimately persues goals whose ends dont justify the means., sure he tried to do the right thing, but it just makes him look untrustworthy in the way he accomplishes his task. Not great, but not terrible for a B flick.
The warriors way - 7.0/10 an action comedy about a ninja in the wild wild west.the story behind this movie could have been so much more. it had great action scenes, but by the end of the movie, you just feel like you should be way more emotionally attached to this story than you ever get.
Pirates of the Carribean: At Worlds end 9.5/10
ok so ive seen this movie a bunch of times, but i finally actually watched it, analytically ... i must admit it is deeper and more involving than I really noticed the first several times. as a whole, it is quite easy to become sympathetic with hte plight of the pirates whom are beinge xterminated and the fight for their existance, and you realize this is more than just about the handful of characters you know. Aside from Jack, whom is sometimes sometimes only in it for himself but sometimes gets reminded to do what is best for everyone, but more insteresting, is the rise and maturing of elizabeth swann, from helpless captive (1st movie) to Pirate King when she ultimately leads them to battle with a speach that only a true born leader could. There is the fall of william turner, who actually becomes more selfish throughout the movie eventually becoming the ultimate betrayer of all, and a fistfull of other characters each interesting and important in their own way. At the end of this movie. I said to myself... why cant we replace "the search for spock" with this movie as it would have been a perfect fit between kahn and the voyage home.
