limitless

starring bradley cooper one of the biggest names in hollywood to date. this devilishly handsome guy has starred in an entourage of movies along side of even bigger names than his, and he has done this while his acting career was on the up!

and there is still only one way he can go...bigger, and better.

limitless was probably to his best piece of work to date. not to insult hangover, valentines day, or A-team.

this movie follows the life of a washed up writter, with no life, no money, and certainly no future. until one day. by shear luck, or happenstance he bumps into an old friend from his past. this friend is anything but an ordinary guy. he is a drug dealer. and in his possession is an advanced drug that heightens the users mind to godlike limits. with only 20% of the brain being used at any one time. this drug lets anyone tap into that 80% of their brain that isnt being used.

mathematics, literature, linguistics, science, physics, all the information available at their fingertips is instantly easy to understand and digest. without even needing to think about it.

the story, the characters, the cinematography are all amazing. including the acting from cooper and others...this movie is thoroughly enjoyable to watch and is a fascinating ride into the life of a man with a four digit IQ!

limitless rated: 4.5/5

i am number four

this movie. is great.

a simple idea, that started out as a novel written by Pittacus Lore.

this idea is of the extraordinary and alien persuasion.

beings from another planet, but who look exactly the same as humans find sanctuary on earth after the massacre of their people. 8 young kids with special gifts were protected and chosen to live on. they came to earth thinking they were safe. three are now dead. this is the story of number four.

awesome insight from a director with lots of talent, d.j. caruso (disturbia, eagle eye, taking lives)

and great acting from new find Alex Pettyfer.

also from Timothy Olyphant (hitman, gone in 60 seconds)

along with other young actors including: Teresa Palmer, Dianna Agron, and Callan McAuliffe.

this movie is the start of a new series on par of harry potter and twilight.

i cannot wait for the next installment.

Dangerous

starring Bruce willis, morgan freeman, john malkovich, helen mirren, and mary-louise parker with karl urban.

the adapted film from the first installment of john marsden classic story of teenagers trapped in a war they cannot escape.

ellie and corrie, two best friends from a small town called wirrawee are keen for an adventure in the outback, their natural environment, their home.

they invite 5 friends to camp out under the stars with them, Lee, Kevin, Homer, Fi, and Robyn...alogn the way they also pick up chris...however they loose kevin and corrie, as corrie is shot at then end of the movie and kevin takes her to a hospital. lee also gets shot in the calf, but recovers eventually.

they blow up a bridge with a petrol transport truck, which impedes the invading army from sendign troops from cobblers bay to the nearby area's, a big blow against their army's effieciency and resupplying capabilities.

overall they picked pretty good actors to portray each character in the movie. so two thumbs up for tht effort...

the movie is quirky and dramatic, action packed and a well made australian movie

pass the SALT please

SALT
who is evelyne salt?
Angelina Jolie...one of todays super actresses...is back at the action/ thriller blockbuster stuff!
and i love it!
in SALT she brings a new meaning to cia agent/secret russian opperative planted into american society at a very young age.
her character is an explosive, and gritty version of james bond...james bond shoots, kicks and punches...well evelyn salt does all those things.... and more!

the movie has a good story line, which makes it predictable in some spots...but also unpredictable in others...overall it is a fun and entertaining ride for all those lara croft lovers out there!

Salt rated: 3.5/5

knight and day

a quirky movie about a normal american citizen that is entangled in the life of a secret agent, where after many heroic rescues and stunts, leads the normal citizen, june (cameron diaz), to fall in love with the secret agent, roy (tom cruise)...a movie about war lords that try to get their hands on a new energy, a renewable energy in the form of a battery that can power a small city...the film is mainly about the relationship between june and roy though.

filled with realistic and awesome action and stunts this movie is very watchable with the family, aged 14+

Inception

christopher nolan, writer and director, is a genius.

inceptions stars:
Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic, Blood Diamond, Shutter Island, Body of Lies, The Aviator, etc etc)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick, 10 Things I Hate About You, G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra, etc)
Ellen Page (Whip It, Juno, Hard Candy, X-men: The Last Stand, etc)
Tom Hardy (RocknRolla, Sweeney Todd, Black Hawk Down, etc)
Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Batman Begins, etc)
Dileep Rao (Avatar etc)
Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies, etc)
Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Red Eye, Sunshine, etc)

and of course
Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, etc)

This epic Action, Thriller, Drama, Science Fiction is but one of Christopher Nolans triumphs in The film making business...he personally wrote and directed this captivating piece.

the extent and complexity of the movie is something peole can sit up all night and talk about, a directing masterpiece, with cutting edge cinematography and performances from all actors/ actresses in the movie make christophers latest effort one to enjoy for infinity.

He opens up the world of the dream, and through his character Cobb, played by Leo, he pushes the boundaries of impossible, with a life changing character piece provided by DiCaprio, this movie is the definition of Perfect.

I thouroughly enjoyed the 2 and a half hour ride and would stress to everyone over 16yrs old to watch Inception.

Inception rated: 5/5

star trek

watched this incredibly good movie last night with twin mulks and a couple of his uni buds...highly anticipated in the nerd world, star trek, in my view didnt dissapoint...

well filmed, great special effects and action scenes.
characters were quirky but not lame and the story line was very well done to create a very nervous and suspensful climax!

basically, th movie starts out with a star cruiser chartering some unknown galaxy when it is attacked by a massive green, techincally advanced ship. captained by a green alien (of course) who is none other then eric bana...he portrays th revengfilled villian well and doesnt take any crap from anyone, otherwise they get a massive sword axe staffy pole thing through th chest!

trust me! he's bad ass!

anyway this federation crusier pretty much gets raped in the asshole and th captain is forced to board thier ship for negotiations (wherein, he gets shafted by the insanely cool sword axe staffy pole thing through the chest!

he leaves his first leutenant to captain the ship ans evacuate all of its passengers...including his extremely pregnant wife, by coincidence gives bith at the time the ship is being smashed into tiny pieces. she escapes with her newly born son while the husband (the captain, for like 16 minutes) stays aboard cause he is totally cool and takes one for the team...he basically flies tht ship right into the vagina of eric bana's ship...vagina is a loose term for the description of this ship...i mean if u classify a ship with about a zillion spikes coming out in one direction as its vagina then yeah!
he drove his ship (the penis) right into it and hurt it so much so tht it couldnt destroy the escaping shuttles filled with like 800 people....

so star trek intro rapped in one big dookie

space...
more space...
more and more space...
star ship...
alien ship...
alien ship shooting good guys ship...
small shuttle with captain within leaving good guys ship...
captain dies aboard alien ship...
good guys ship evacuates passengers...
remaining good guy steers good guy ship into alien ship...

"STAR TREK"...
flash foward in time to lil ratbag of good guy who steered good guy ship into alien ship

no matter how i said th intro their...it is an amazing start to a movie! and it only gets better from there...

Ok i saw the new James Bond movie last night, Quantum of solace, and i have to say.
it was awesome!
such an epic James Bond movie, full of action, drama, Olga Kurylenko and of course jimmy.B.
starts out with the signature james bond opener, the chasing scene (in car and on foot this time) which is pretty spectacular, even for an action film.
i mean this movie, action-wise and acting-wise fucking shit all over 'the Jason Bourne series'. i dont know how Brock even came to that conclusion.

As electrifying as any J.B. movie is with Daniel Craig taking the lead i must admit, that i was a little disappointed with 'Q.o.S.' For one reason only, i love jimmy kicking peoples ass in poker! but other than that, he used his wit, his strength and prowess as a super British agent from m6 to his advantage at every stage of the movie, you will be amazed at how often he misses death by an inch! literally! he is always THIS close to being shot, captured, flung off 5 story buildings or blown up that you wonder if Daniel Craig is actually alive still.

i rate this movie this movie up there with all the classic James Bonds of its time and ahead of 'Casino Royal'!

James Bond: Quantum of Solace rated - 3.5/5
