"Angels and Demons can't cross over onto our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. But a single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon's touch like those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit."

My favorite Carlito lines:




"I'm reloaded! Okay? Come on in here, you motherf*ckers! Come on, I'm waitin' for ya! What, you ain't comin' in? Okay, I'm comin' out! Oh, you up against me now, motherf*ckers! I'm gonna blow your f*ckin' brains out! You think you're big time? You gonna fuckin' die big time! You ready? Here comes the pain!"




"Favor gonna kill you faster than a bullet."




"There is a line you cross, you don't never come back from. Point of no return. Dave crossed it. I'm here with him. That's means I am going along for the ride. The whole ride. All the way to the end of the line, wherever that is."

The best gangster film ever made!




Henry Hill:


"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."




"You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us.: You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys."

King Leonidas:

"This is Sparta!"




"Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty. For tonight, we dine in hell! "




Queen Gorgo: Spartan!
King Leonidas: Yes, my lady?
Queen Gorgo: Come back with your shield, or on it.
King Leonidas: Yes, my lady.




The 300 Spartans, willing to die for their precious Sparta and it's people, were heroic in my eyes. Warriors til the end. The battle scenes were amazing and very gruesome. The movie is amazingly put together, with outstanding actors.

TAKEN

Wow, Wow, Wow!
Taken is an amazing, unforgettable movie. It had my full attention from the beginning until the very end.

Non-stop action and azz kicking throughout the entire movie.
Liam Neeson's acting in this film is pure perfection. Liam you deserve an Oscar!

Like I've always said, "There's no love, like a fathers love for his daughter."

Bryan: "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

Wonderful MOvie

Very FUnny

Who doesn't love The Goonies?

80s movies are the best. The Goonies has it all. It has a great story line with an awesome cast. Not to mention the adventure, freaks, geeks, treasure hunting, gold, and a pirate ship. I loved this film as a child, still love it, and now my kids love as well. I think The Goonies is the perfect family film for anyone to watch.

Oh, I love Kevin Bacon. This movie was great. I loved the dancing and the music

Classic in my book

Classic 80s movie. One of my favorites.

THis is an amazing movie. The ending was a surprise.

Awesome gore movie.

I Love this movie so much. I've seen it so many times. Mark Wahlberg became one of my favorite actors after seeing this film.

I love all the Batman movies. They rock.

Very good movie.

Love, Love, Loved it! Ron Perlman is perfect as Hellboy! Awesome fight scenes, a little comedy throwed in, and a little romance all packed into this film.
What else could you ask for in a movie?

Amazing performance by Demi Moore, she did a wonderful job

Plot: In a remote region of Bering Sea, a boat salvage crew discovers the eerie remains of a grand passenger line thought lost for more than 40 years. Once on board, the crew must confront the ship's horrific past and face the ultimate fight for their lives, as mysterious things begin to happen aboard the derelict ship.

Each time I see this, I love it more and more. There's so many great actors in this movie, Gabriel Byrne, Julianna Margulies, and Karl Urban.

It's not an over the top horror movie, more of a thriller/suspense. The beginning scene is awesome and I love the twist ending.

I'd have to say " The Exorcist" is one of the best horror films made to date. It's brilliant, creepy, and keeps you interested. A must see for all horror lovers!

Very Eerie movie. I loved it.

Excellent Movie, I loved it!
Perfect casting. Suprisingly twist ending, which was great. It has me guessing to the end. I think I could re-watch this one over and over again, and still find it very interesting to watch. Brilliant Movie!

Finally, I get around to seeing this and I'm not disappointed. Fantastic Movie!

Wonderful cast, Al Pacino is my favorite!

I love Mafia movies and this one will surely go to my favorites list.

Excellent Movie, just like the 1st.

Perfect casting, loved the flashbacks of the Don's life in Sicily and his rise to power. Al Pacino is perfect! Two Classic movies everyone needs to see.

Before seeing this film, I thought maybe some kind of creature or something was down in "The Ruins", but I was wrong.

I still enjoyed the story line. The film did have some good gorey moments in it for the horror lovers out there.

Classic Movie. We watch this every year.

What a rush, watching this. I'd love to see a 3rd part

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie. It's a Classic!

Belle falling in love with the Beast is what's called true love, seeing what's inside his heart and beyond his looks.

"One Shot."

The Deer Hunter is truly an American Classic. It stars the very young Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro.

The film is very long (3 hours). It starts by showing the characters background, then its off to Vietnam for the war, and eventually showing the after effect the war had on each character.

Walken and De Niro portrayed their characters wonderfully, which won Walken an Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. The film won over 21 awards with another 19 nominations.

I love the scene in the beginning with all the guys in the bar after work, playing pool and singing, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You".

Anyone a fan of these two actors should definitely see this!

Awesome Film. Johnny Depp is brilliant. Loved this movie

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the best of the X-Men series yet. Glad to finally see Logan/Wolverine's back story come together. As always, Hugh Jackman did a phenomenal job as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber was perfect as Sabertooth, and Ryan Reynolds was the funniest X-Men of them all. I loved every second of the film!

Star Trek is pure perfection!
I've never been a hard core Trekkie fan but this movie was awesome. It was fast paced all the way through beginning to the end, action packed, and the actors were perfect.


Brilliant film! I think it will be the blockbuster film of the year.
Bows to J.J. Abrams.

I knew before this film even hit the theaters I would enjoy it, with or without Kate Beckinsale.

Underworld: The Rise of the Lycans has the perfect story line, characters, and actors. The film shows us how the war began between the Lycans and Vampires. A forbidden love between Lucian--Lycan (Michael Sheen) and Sonja--Vampire (Rhona Mitra) began. After Sonja father, Victor (Bill Nighy) finds out, he disowns his daughter, shackles her, forcing Lucian to watch her burn to ashes in the sunlight and so the war begins....

Can Pixar ever go wrong?
I think not.

Up is definitely another classic for PIxar. The visual effects and sound is amazing. The story line brilliant. Up has everything you could ask for in a movie. Sadness, happiness, and hilarious comedy. It's the perfect movie, very entertaining.

The Haunting in Connecticut was truly a creepy feel good movie. I haven't jumped that much while watching a movie in a very long time. Being based on true events (supposedly) made it feel even creepier for me. I was sitting on the edge of my chair just waiting to see what was gonna happen next and to think I almost passed on seeing this.

Very heartwarming!
Ellen Page was wonderful. I love her quirky smart azz remarks/comments.

Rollo: Well, well. If it isn't MacGuff the crime dog! Back for another test?
Juno: I think the last one was defective. The plus sign looked more like a division sign so I remain unconvinced.
Rollo: Third test today, Mama Bear. Your eggo is preggo, no doubt about it.
Tough Girl: [to Juno] It's really easy to tell. Is your nipples real brown?
Rollo: Yeah. Maybe your little boyfriend's got mutant sperms. Knocked ya up twice.
Juno: Silencio old man! Look, I just drank my weight in Sunny-D and I gotta go pronto!
Rollo: Well, you know where the lavatory is.
Rollo: You pay for that pee stick when you're done! Don't think it's yours just cuz ya marked it with your urine!

Rollo: So what's the prognosis, Fertile Myrtle? Minus or plus?
Juno: I don't know. It's not seasoned yet.
Juno: I'll take some of these. Nope. There it is. The little pink plus sign is so unholy.
[shakes pregnancy test]
Rollo: That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet.

There is only 1 word that comes to mind when describing this film, it's actors, characters, plot, and scenery.

WONDERFUL!

Trick 'r Treat is just the right film to put anyone in the Halloween spirit. It has so many different characters and stories with great twists and turns, a bit of gore thrown in, and quite a few scenes to give you a good laugh. The perfect Halloween film to watch yearly.

Jeremiah Johnson is partially based on the true story of John Johnson, an American soldier who goes west to escape the war and becomes a mountain man. In 1847, his Indian wife was killed by Crow Indians, which prompted Johnson to embark on a 20-year vendetta against the tribe. The legend says that he would cut out and eat the liver of each man killed. Another theory is that he would only take a bite of the liver and then spit it out stating "the liver of the Crow is not suitable for a man." This was an insult to Crow being that the Crow Indians used to eat the raw livers from their game because they believed it gave them the vitality of the animal that they ate. He was given the nickname of Liver Eater Johnson and Crow Killer.

"His name was Jeremiah Johnson, and they say he wanted to be a mountain man. The story goes that he was a man of proper wit and adventurous spirit, suited to the mountains. Nobody knows whereabouts he come from and don't seem to matter much. He was a young man and ghosty stories about the tall hills didn't scare him none. He was looking for a Hawken gun, .50 caliber or better. He settled for a .30, but damn, it was a genuine Hawken, and you couldn't go no better. Bought him a good horse, and traps, and other truck that went with being a mountain man, and said good-bye to whatever life was down there below."

Instant classic in my book.

This is my kind of film. It has Robert Redford in the starring role, living off the land, surviving the wilderness and bitter cold, those snowy mountains and streams, and very little dialogue, with a simple plot. Through Jeremiah's gestures and glances, you could almost feel everything he's feeling throughout the entire film, from joy of being with his new wife and son, to the sorrow of loosing them, then the rage of revenge against the Crow Indians. Just an all around beautiful film anyway you look at it.

"You've done well to keep your hair, when so many's after it."

Identity is a secret. Identity is a mystery. Identity is a killer.

What if every choice we ever make was already made for us? What if there really were no coincidences in life and our destinies were already predetermined?

Ten strangers with secrets are brought together in a savage rainstorm: A limo driver (John Cusack), an ?80s TV star (Rebecca DeMornay), a cop (Ray Liotta) who is transporting a killer (Jake Busey), a call girl (Amanda Peet), a pair of newlyweds (Clea DuVall and William Lee Scott) and a family in crisis (John C. McGinley, Leila Kenzle, Bret Loehr), all take shelter at a desolate motel run by a nervous night manager (John Hawkes). Relief in finding shelter is quickly replaced with fear as the ten travelers begin to die, one by one. They soon realize that, if they are to survive, they?ll have to uncover the secret that has brought them all together.

Identity reminded me of the film Clue without the comedy. A great cast of characters with different backgrounds who all connect in the end. The plot pulled me in right from the start then I was hooked, I found it very interesting and never a dull moment. I was asking myself til the very end, Who done it, whose the killer? After all the twists and turns, the killer is revealed and it was a huge shock. I never would've guessed.

Warning:
This film is definitely not for the squeamish!

Raizo:
This is not my family. You are not my Father. And the breath I take after I kill you will be the first breath of my life.

Plot:
Raizo is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. Teaming up with Europol investigator Mika, Raizo steadily butchers his enemies while inching ever closer to the long-awaited bloody reunion with his former master.

Ninja Assassin has to be the best martial arts film I've seen in a very long time. The fight scenes were incredible and brutal, loads of bloodshed throughout the entire film, and the weapons used were way to cool not to mention. I also loved the flashback scenes of Raizo's training as a child, it gave his character more meaning to me and also crucial to his back story. Though Raizo doesn't show much emotion throughout the film, the flashbacks shows you exactly why.

"The clocks stopped at one seventeen one morning. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. Within a year there were fires on the ridges and deranged chanting. By day the dead impaled on spikes along the road. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calender for five years. Each day is more gray than the one before. Each night is darker - beyond darkness. The world gets colder week by week as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived. All the crops are long gone. Someday all the trees in the world will have fallen. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts and road gangs looking for fuel and food. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food. Always food. Food and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice - difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke."

Plot:
A post-apocalyptic tale of a man and his son trying to survive by any means possible.

My Review:
Despite the depressing state of mind The Road puts you in while watching, the film was a masterpiece in my book. Viggo Mortensen gave an outstanding performance that should've won him an Oscar. Kodi Smit-McPhee performance was also superb.

After watching The Road, I'm definitely going to read the book!

Melquiades Estrada:
"Promise me one thing, Pete. If I die over here, carry me back to my family and bury me in my home town. I don't want to be buried on this side among all the fucking billboards."

Plot:
A man is shot and quickly buried in the high desert of west Texas. The body is found and reburied in Van Horn's town cemetery. Pete Perkins, (Tommy Lee Jones) a local ranch foreman kidnaps a Border Patrolman and forces him to disinter the body. With his captive in tow and the body tied to a mule Pete undertakes a dangerous and quixotic journey into Mexico.

My Review:
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada marks Tommy Lee Jones's 1st film as director and producer and he did a phenomenal job doing it. Jones was the perfect actor cast for the character Pete, he was just amazing. The film revolves around loyalty, redemption, and friendship. Other than the shifting back and forth with the flashbacks the film was perfect, from the cast, characters, story line, and scenery.

Belmont:
"There's a thousand ways he can go to Mexico, and that sonofabitch is so fuckin' nuts he might be headin' north to Canada."

Creasy: (Denzel Washington)
"Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting."

Rayburn: (Christopher Walken)
" A man can be an artist in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasey's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece."

Plot:
In Mexico City, the former CIA assassin and presently an alcoholic decadent man John Creasy is hired by the industrialist Samuel Ramos, with the recommendation of his old friend Rayburn, to be the bodyguard of his young daughter Pita and his wife Lisa. Pita changes the behavior of the cold Creasy, making him live and smile again, and he feels a great affection for her. When the girl is kidnapped Creasy swears to kill each one responsible for the abduction.

Review:
Man on Fire was an outstanding action packed film starring 2 of my favorite actors, Chris Walken and Mr. Denzel. Then we have (then 9 year old) little Miss. Dakota Fanning. She was just amazing and has turned out to be a very young talented actress today. This film will be added to my favorites list. 5?'s for sure!

Fear Thy Neighbor

Plot:
The Crazies is about the inhabitants of a small Iowa town, Ogden Marsh AKA "Friendliest place on Earth", suddenly plagued by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply. After an incubation period of 48 hours, this virus gradually transforms the mental state of the infected into that of cold, calculating, blood-thirsty killers, who then prey on family and neighbor alike.

Review:
Written by Scott Kosar and Ray Wright, The Crazies is a remake of the 1973 film of the same name by George A. Romero who is also the executive producer and co-writer of the remake.

Despite hearing this film was a horrible remake, I was still determined to see it and I'm happy to say I've never seen Romero's 1973 version of The Crazies so I went into this film with nothing to compare it to.

Going into the film, I was expecting to see more blood, guts, and gore. What I got was an intense, non-stop thriller that really had me jumping and flinching quite a few times, which was a good thing and very rare for me to do. I love it when a film draws me in and have no idea where it's heading then something pops up out of no where and leaves me feeling shaky.

Timothy Olyphant keeps surprising me more and more with his acting and choice of films he chooses, he played the town sheriff perfectly and eerily at the same time.

Also, the reality of this actually happening is quite terrifying to think about. It makes you stop and wonder, "Hmm, what all is our government hiding from us!?" The Crazies is going on my favorites list!

John Lambrix: (Before Jace's match with T-Rex Turner) How you feelin'?
Jace: Like a dinosaur snack.

Plot:
Going to the Mate, a Disney Channel Original Movie, stars Andrew Lawrence as Jason "Jace" Newfield, a blind popular New York City teenager who plays drums in the band and playing baseball with his friends. His family decides to move to a small Utah town where his peers begin to treat him differently, and he soon finds out that it is because people think that he is a snob, and not because he is blind. Desperate to fit in, he finds out that if he wants to be accepted, he must join a sport. He decides to try his luck with wrestling.

Review:
A very entertaining and inspirational film. This film shows us you can do anything you set your mind to whether you have a disability or not.

Andrew Lawrence is a talented young actor and he gave a very realistic performance as a blind teen. D.B. Sweeney, Wayne Brady, and Khleo Thomas performances stood out as well. An over all great film not to be missed.

Tagline:
If he's crazy, what does that make you?

McMurphy:
"What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin'? Well you're not! You're not! You're no crazier than the average asshole out walkin' around on the streets and that's it."

Plot:
Randle Patrick McMurphy, played by Jack Nicholson, a criminal serving a short sentence on a prison farm for statutory rape, is transferred to a mental institution in 1963 for evaluation. This is a ploy to avoid hard labor and serve the rest of his sentence in a more relaxed environment. He has a history of violence, but he exhibits no signs of mental illness. He fits in frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause some of the patients to progress. McMurphy rallies the patients together to take on the oppressive Nurse Ratched, a woman more a dictator than a nurse.

Review:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a highly entertaining, dramatic masterpiece with one of the most memorable endings ever made.

I feel this is Jack Nicholson finest performance of his career and also won him his 1st Oscar Award. The film had a great and very well known cast of actors, they all gave superb performances. It gave us some very memorable lines and there are many to choose from, most of them coming from Nicholson of course. This film will still be talked about 10 years from now, I'm sure.
