Primal Fear (1996) - Review

This is a pretty well-crafted courtroom drama with an unpredictable plot twist. Also, it first introduced us to how great of an actor Edward Norton was and how great he was at conveying different moods.

After an altar boy is accused of brutally murdering a famous archbishop, his lawyer begins to realize that he has a split personality which causes him to do violent acts. He then has to perform the difficult task of pleading insanity to the jury.

This movie is a very good courtroom thriller. It brings its own twists and alterations to the genre and it makes for a pretty well-crafted movie. Although its storyline is pretty typical by today's standards, it is still a great watch because of the plot, twist, and acting.

The acting in this movie is very well-done. Edward Norton is able to sound like 2 convincing characters. His performance is well-done and it shows us that he can convincingly convey different emotions and moods. I also really liked Laura Linney's performance. She plays the role of a rude and nasty lady and her facial expressions and the tone of her voice often makes us hate her in several scenes involving the courthouse.

The plot twist at the end caught me off guard. I'm not going to spoil what it is but it's really well-done. It doesn't make the movie seem unrealistic and fanciful at all and it changes the movie immensely on your second viewing. The movie gave no nods or clues to it so it's extremely hard to be able to predict it. It comes truly as a surprise.

So in conclusion, this is one of the best courtroom dramas in the past few decades. It has a great plot and a great twist. But most importantly, it is the movie which first introduced us to Edward Norton and how great of an actor he was.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Saving Private Ryan (1998) Review

"Saving Private Ryan" is the best WW2 film out there. It starts off with a memorable 25 minute opening sequence which is arguably the best scene in a Spielberg movie. It is highly realistic for its time and it's tense from beginning to end. At the end of the sequence, it shows you a dead soldier from the "Ryan" family. Later we find out that 3 of the 4 members of his family died and Capt. John Miller (Tom Hanks) and a group of 7 soldiers are sent to bring the remaining brother back to his family before he dies as well. With an unforgettable story, the plot is quite moving even just thinking about it. The movie was also expertly shot and acted. Every action scene is realistic as it is bloody. After soldiers are killed off, it makes the soldiers question if the mission is worth it and it often creates conflict with them. The final battle has a big buildup and carries on for just the right length.The ending is tragic and it gets me every time but its emotional resonance sticks with the viewer after watching it. This is one of the best films of the 90's due to its impact on the viewer.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
Can A Movie Ever Be Perfect?

I've given out 10/10 ratings here before. So do many other reviewers. But is it possible for a movie to be objectively perfect?

Perfect means that something is as good as it is possible to be. Perfect means that something has everything done right in every way and not a single aspect of it can be even a bit better.

The most recent movie I've given a 10/10 rating to is Sunshine. There was nothing that remotely annoyed me about it. But that doesn't mean that everyone else thought that. Some people dislike its third act for example. So to them, it's not perfect. It may be perfect to me but not to them.

I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is a masterpiece. But some people dislike how it draws out its scenes. So to those people, 2001 isn't perfect.

Many people think that Napolean Dynamite is a masterpiece and that it is really funny. I think it's garbage and its comedy is beyond cheesy so to me it's definitely not even remotely perfect.

But what about Citizen Kane? It is widely called the greatest movie ever made by many people. Many think that movie is perfect. But it's not objectively perfect because not every single person in the whole world thinks that. Some people dislike it because of its talk-heavy dialogue.

So can a movie be perfect? No. No movie can be objectively perfect. There will always be those who can find a problem in a movie.

So what is Citizen Kane if it's not perfect? True objectivity is impossible. The closest we can come is inter-subjectively perfect. This means that a majority thinks something is perfect (although anyone can disagree). I may think that some movies are perfect but that's just my own subjective opinion.

A movie can be inter-subjectively perfect. Examples could be Citizen Kane and The Godfather. Those movies are great. The're just not objectively perfect.
Selma (2014) Review

Selma is a pretty entertaining drama about Martin Luther King, Jr. I think that David Oyelowo did a great job acting. He had a strong role and did a great job bringing the elements of courage and bravery to the screen with his powerful performance. It also had pretty good emotional power in it. This is not for everyone with its talk heavy dialogue but for those who like slower films then this is for them. It doesn't have the same power as "12 Years a Slave" does though. Still, it's good for a few viewings and it is pretty moving at some parts. I was pretty entertained by this. A couple of the boring or slower scenes lost me but there weren't too many of them and most of them were only in the first hour. It did a good job capturing the ugliness of the 1960's with the marches and some other sequences of violence. If you want to see a history lesson on screen then you'll likely enjoy the film.

Final Verdict: 8/10 Great
Buried (2010) Review

This is a highly entertaining thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout its entirety.

After a truck driver wakes up inside a coffin, he discovers that terrorists captured him and are holding him for ransom. All he has with him is a phone and a knife.

Despite the fact that this movie is filmed in a coffin the entire time, the movie interests us every step of the way. The claustrophobic setting makes the movie really tense. The fact that this movie is filmed in a coffin for the whole movie makes for an impressive feat.

Ryan Reynolds gave a gripping performance which carried this movie expertly. His emotions and facial expressions engage us in the movie in many scenes.

I'm not going to spoil the ending but it is quite unexpected and sad. However, it is fitting and the viewer understands why it was necessary. There was really no other fitting way for the movie to end.

In certain parts though, disbelief must be suspended. For example, I don't think his phone would've worked under the sand. Also, he probably would've suffocated long before the credits rolled. I don't think he would have had enough Oxygen to survive so long. These nitpicks don't completely take the viewer out of the experience but it does bug them a bit.

Overall, this is a pretty great movie. As long as you can get by the nitpicks then this will be a tense and claustrophobic thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Final Verdict: 8/10 Great
The Thing (1982) Review

The Thing is an intelligent blend of sci-fi and horror which is now a cult classic.

This is about a group of scientists working in Antarctica. Eventually they find a husky which appears to be infected with something far sinister which begins to spread.

The movie's main focus is its special effects. Despite the fact that they are over 30 years old, they still look just as grotesque and disturbing today as they did back in 1982. Because of the special effects, several scenes have become iconic. The most famous one being the chest defibrilator scene which was really unexpected.

The movie shows us how the scientists quickly turn on each other after they discover that the thing can look like any one of them. The viewer keeps pointing fingers throughout the film and it's a surprise every time one of them is revealed to be infected.

The movie's ending is ambiguous and it has inspired a lot of discussions and debates in social media sites. Its ending leaves plenty of room for re-watching the film to look for clues you might have missed your first viewing. I'm not going to spoil anything but it is quite a shocker.

The tension is cranked up more since the characters are cut off from the outside world. This concept was borrowed by "Alien" and it heavily influenced "Aliens". Unfortunately, this movie failed at the box office probably since it was released 2 weeks after "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial". But its great production choices with effects and concepts is what made it into a cult classic.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
Touching the Void (2003) Review

This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. It's very tense even though the outcome is already known.

This movie details the true story of a mountaineering expedition gone horribly wrong. It shows the 2 climbers struggling to make it back down as more and more things go wrong.

Even though we already know the ending, the movie is still quite the thrill ride. It keeps us on the edge of our seats the entire time. It is very gripping and the movie draws the viewer into the action immensely.

The great acting, facial expressions, sound and music, editing, and set design only makes the tension bigger and it immerses the viewer even more.

This is a movie that you have to experience. It's hard to watch at times due to the graphic nature of some of its scenes but it's truly an amazing film which keeps the viewer engaged from beginning to end. It's a must watch for all fans of the genre.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece

Schindler's List (1993) Review

This is pretty much Steven Spielberg's cinematic coming of age. It hits every element perfectly and it's a masterpiece. The movie is not afraid to be highly brutal and it does an amazing job showing us the ugliness of the concentration camps. All movies of this genre should not be afraid to have this element of brutality and Schindler's List does it perfectly. It does a great job making us care for Schindler and I can tell that Spielberg really cared for him and his actions. It's a very powerful film and the fact that this was based on a true story only strengthens the emotional power. The fact that it was shot in black and white undoubtedly gives it more power and emotion. Saying this movie was expertly shot would be an understatement. I've never seen a film shot better then this. This is a one of a kind film and we may never see it duplicated. It hits all the elements perfectly and succeeds in every way. This is one of the best movies of all time and it must be watched.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing

Forrest Gump (1994) Review

This is a good movie for what it is but I really don't know why people say it's one of the best films ever made.

Forrest Gump is not a smart man but he has accidentally been present at many historical events. While sitting on a park bench, he tells strangers about what he experienced in life and the people he met.

The musical score is well-done and perfectly timed. It hits all the right notes at the right time. It does a great job drawing different emotions out of the audience.

Also, I think that this is a very entertaining feel-good movie. It is also pretty compelling. It has a nice message as well. It's message is that you can achieve all you can in life. It can inspire many people and it does a great job doing what it wanted to do. However, then there are the flaws.

Firstly, the movie often gets crippled under its own sentimentality. I get that the movie was trying to draw emotions out of the audience but it does it too often. Its sentimental moments can be real overwhelming at times. I'm not going to spoil anything but the ending seemed to exist just to add more unnecessary sentimentality to the movie.

Also, this movie is overlong and stretched-out. It could've been cut down a lot. Several scenes I felt could've been cut down or could've been completely left out altogether. I grew bored several times throughout.

In conclusion, this is a pretty good movie and I like it for what it is. I just don't think it's anything special like many people say it is.

Final Verdict: 7/10 Good
Goodfellas (1990) - Review

"The Godfather" is usually called the greatest gangster film ever made. Several films such as "Scarface", "The Godfather Part 2", "Bonnie and Clyde", and "Pulp Fiction" are rivals to that movie. To me, "Goodfellas" definitely ranks very high up there. I love both "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas" and I think that both films are masterpieces.

This movie follows infamous gangster Henry Hill and his friends as they work their way up in the gangster world. It shows different people and different events he encounters in this film.

I just want to start off this review by saying that this movie is incredibly entertaining. It keeps the movie going at an enjoyable pace and it makes the movie very easy to follow. The movie even draws you in right at the beginning with its brilliant opening scene which is now iconic.

By far, Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) is my favorite character in this movie. He is threatening and he seems like the kind of guy that you don't want to mess with. He can lose his temper very easily and if someone annoys him even in the slightest way possible, they risk getting themselves shot and killed. The infamous "Funny How?" scene near the beginning is definitely one of the most tense scenes in all of cinema history. The audience is left wondering if he'll pop and the silence of the scene makes it more tense. In other words, he basically steals the show.

Ray Liotta also gave a fantastic role as Henry Hill. I can't think of a better actor to play him. He captures a feeling of innocence all while having a feeling of violence to him. He also loses his temper easily and when he does, those scenes stick with you very long after viewing it.

Also, Robert De Niro gave a great performance. Robert De Niro has always been one of if not my favorite actor of all time. I like him for his tough guy roles. In my opinion, his performances in "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull" are some of the best performances ever in cinema. He gave another phenomenal performance in this movie as well even though he's not in the movie as much as you'd expect him to be based on the DVD cover.

This movie is based on the true story of Henry Hill and it is adapted from the best-selling book "Wiseguy". The book is great but the movie blows it out of the water in every way imaginable. Also, Henry Hill himself actually stated that this movie is about 95% accurate.

Also, the movie is very stylish with its dazzling cinematography. The cinematography looks so good mainly because of the lighting and realistic set design in it. On top of that, Scorsese's Copa Cabana shot is a fabulous shot and it has a lot going for it in terms of the long take.

In conclusion, this movie hits all the right notes and it is contains everything which I think is mandatory in gangster films. It is easy to follow, it has enjoyable pacing, great acting, and memorable characters. This film is definitely a masterpiece and it definitely ranks up there with some of the best movies ever made.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
Citizen Kane (1941) Review

It is not hard to see why this is considered to be one of cinema's greatest movies ever made as this movie hits every element perfectly.

After a wealthy newspaper tycoon dies, journalists scramble to find out the meaning of his last word "Rosebud". Then we see the history of his life and everything he encountered throughout it.

The acting is magnificent. Especially coming from Orson Welles who in my opinion gave one of the best performances ever put on screen. But every other actor offers something great to the movie and not a single one of the main actors did a weak job acting. They all gave strong performances.

Wells direction is terrific and he is able to use basic elements to craft something truly brilliant with this picture. His work behind the camera is immaculate and it brings the viewer into a truly special experience.

This movie is engaging from the very first scene. Some people may not like the talk heavy dialogue but if you like slow paced movies (which I usually do) then it shouldn't bother you.

This movie has stood the test of time. It has aged well and it shows no sign of losing popularity. Is it one of my favorite movies of all time? No, but the reason it gets a 10/10 is because of its impact on cinema and how much it contributed to it. The only American film which comes close to topping this masterpiece is "The Godfather".

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) Review

I never saw it at the theater. My school was going to show it though and considering what my friends thought of it, I was highly excited. It didn't deliver on its promise. I don't get the hype over this movie. People keep praising how funny it is but none of the jokes stuck at all and they all fell flat. Most of its comedy is shock value which can be funny at some times but that's all this film consists of. The plot is unoriginal and it's nothing special. It didn't interest me at all. I just found it to be a clichéd school drama with bits of unoriginal forced comedy thrown in. It had poor camera-work and the acting was too bland. When I saw it that day, there was this scene where Napolean slapped someone in the face and he ran to a door because someone rung the doorbell. Simply slapping someone is not creative in the slightest in terms of comedy aspects but everyone started laughing. All I can praise it for is that it'll likely appeal to most younger kids. I found this to be a forgettable comedy movie and it left no impact on me.

Final Verdict: 4/10 Bad
Into the Wild (2007) - Review

This is a well-written tale which is a poignant and moving character study. It may not appeal to all fans of the survival genre but it is still an amazing movie which is an emotional ride.

Graduated student Christopher McCandless donates all of his money to charity and begins to set out to live in the Alaskan wild. Along the way, he meets a series of people who change his life.

Its story is very deep. It's a story of following a path that you choose for yourself. I always like it when movie's have deep plots which make you think. Christopher says that he feels career's are a 20th-century invention and he wants no part of that and I sort of agree with him. Its story is really important because it revolves around and talks about the opinion that many people have.

The acting is near perfect from Emile Hirsch. Many of the other actors give superb roles as well. There weren't any actors who gave performances that were less than great.

Of course though, this movie isn't for anyone because most of the movie featured flashbacks leading up to it. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it does mean that it is more slower-paced than most movies in the genre. Also, there were a few parts which I felt were a bit too slow and boring. Luckily though, the movie didn't feature these too much and it was still able to keep my interest. It's just not the most exciting move in the genre.

Also on a side note, I recommend that you don't read the critic reviews because many of them contain spoilers. I usually trust the critics but in this case I'd say ignore them just for this movie.

So in conclusion, this is a fantastic character study which contains great lessons and it may affect you greatly depending on what you believe. It may be slower-paced at times but it's still a must-watch.

The Shining (1980) Review

I'm not a fan of Stephen King but what Kubrick has done was strip away all the nonsense of the original novel and create a masterpiece in terms of haunting imagery, buildup, and suspense.

After a writer and his family agrees to watch over the "Overlook Hotel" for the winter, a haunting presence causes him to go slowly insane as the claustrophobia builds up around him.

This movie doesn't rely on cheesy jumpscares and unnecessary gore that many other modern horror movies rely too heavily on. The Shining builds up its scare factor with suspense and claustrophobia. This leads up to terrifying and well-executed domestic violence which is done phenomenal thanks to Jack Nicholson's outstanding performance and the great execution of it. His great acting contributes to several great scenes especially the iconic "Here's Johnny" one.

Kubrick uses camera movements and techniques, sound design, disturbing visuals, lighting, colors, foreshadowing, and attention to detail to make this a truly frightening horror film which contains so much suspense. Also, the score is one of the most eeriest movie scores ever written because it contains sharp, high-pitched sounds, and it is perfectly timed throughout the movie.

Sure, this movie did deviate from Stephen King's novel, but Kubrick expanded on the novel. It changed the things in the novel that didn't work that well and he changed them to make sure each aspect of it was as effective as possible.

This is clearly one of the best horror films of all time. It uses suspense, claustrophobia, and camera techniques and it delivers them effectively to provide several scary and suspenseful scenes. Topped off with an excellent performance by Jack Nicholson, this is clearly one of the biggest must-see films for all horror movie fans.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) Review

Avengers: Age Of Ultron is an exciting sequel to the 2012 movie even though it doesn't quite live up to the original.

The plot is that Tony Stark and Bruce Banner accidentally create an AI called Ultron. He says that he wants to save the world but his idea of saving means destroying the world so the team has to get together and stop him.

Firstly, this is not a bad movie. I liked it a lot. Each character gets their chance to shine and the action scenes are magnificent. The final battle is epic and entertaining. The movie is computer animated but it didn't bother me at all. Also, a particular character's death scene near the end is unexpected and sad.

But I had a huge issue with the movie's comedy. Marvel sometimes puts one-liners and comedy relief in. Sometimes it works but other times it doesn't. The movie has a lot of one-liners and I found most of them not to be funny. Also, some of them felt really out of place. They would be in battle fighting for their lives and some of them would just be making jokes desensitizing the viewer to any impending fear of death in battle. If the characters seem so relaxed then what suspense is needed to be held by the audience. It feels really out of place.

Also, I had an issue with the script. I don't want to say too much because I want to keep this review spoiler free. But I will say that it feels very rushed and unorganized. There are a few completely unnecessary side plots. There are also some useless characters that could've been removed because they really don't impact the story overall. Also, the villain was a massive letdown in Marvel's growing pile of mishandled super villains.

In conclusion, this movie has positives. If you like cgi action scenes then you'll enjoy this because the movie handles the special effects nicely. But if you were looking for a deep story which the trailer promised then you'll be massively disappointed.

Final Verdict: 5/10 Mediocre
Pulp Fiction (1994) - Review

Going into this for the first time, I knew this would be a good movie and I would enjoy it. However, I had no idea that it would be this good. It practically blew me away.

This movie follows how 6 people's lives are all intertwined in an action packed tale of gun violence, drug-use, and murder.

What this film is most famous for is its twisted timeline which is never too confusing but also very impressive. When I first saw the beginning, I didn't think much of it and as the film progressed, I forgot about it. But when it comes back at the ending, I knew I was in for a treat. The movie has several of these surprises which will knock you out cold and they are made brilliant by its twisting plot. I was in awe when the credits first started to roll.

Also, this movie has an outstanding soundtrack which is actually pretty recognizable and iconic. It is also very well-done too. I honestly feel that it perfectly fits the movie. Like Jaws, when I think of this movie, the soundtrack which played during the end credits instantly plays in my head. It may not be as iconic as Jaws's music but it definitely is of equal quality.

Also, the acting couldn't be much better. In my opinion, John Travolta, Samuel Jackson, and Bruce Willis all gave perfect performances. They are all able to convey so many moods at once with their facial expressions and they couldn't do any better.

This movie also has very great repeat watchability to it. The first viewing of this masterpiece is unforgettable. But just like Fight Club, this movie gets better and better every time you watch it. Mainly because the fact that you know what's going to happen and that you know all of its surprises, makes several scenes even more engaging. Also, this movie has so many iconic lines and scenes. It's super rare for a film to have 2 iconic scenes but this movie has several of them which have been retold and parodied so many times in pop culture.

So in conclusion, this movie is in fact a masterpiece because of many reasons. It has changed cinema so much and it has shown the test of time for over 20 years. I think that this film is going to be remembered for many more decades also. I think that this is Tarantino's best film and I also think that it is one of the best movies ever made. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys action and complex plot structures to movies.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
Videodrome (1983) Review

Videodrome doesn't have the same well-written characters that The Fly (1986) did but it still has the power to draw us in due to its disturbing visuals and great themes.

After a television executive searches for an intense new program for his TV network, he discovers a vhs tape called "Videodrome" which causes him to undergo a series of bizarre hallucinations.

Sometimes, this movie becomes too disgusting to watch (which is a good thing) and for good reasons too because the visuals are very disturbing and well-done. The movie tends to surprise us with its visuals too when we're least expecting it which makes its scenes work even better.

This also has great acting from James Woods. All of the other actors were great too but James Woods was really the only one who I felt stood out in the movie. However, his great performance was enough to carry the movie.

This movie has a chilling message which becomes more powerful today seeing as how technology keeps on advancing which leads to explicit and graphic entertainment rise.

This is still a great movie but I feel that The Fly is a better movie than this. The reason I think so is because The Fly contained well-written characters. I couldn't really connect with Max Renn as I did with Seth Brundle. However, this shouldn't bother you too much if you don't mind lack of character development. However, this is why I feel that The Fly is a little better.

In conclusion, this is a disturbing movie which contains a deep message. It gives audiences some disturbing things to think about. This is an amazing movie and all. I just think that The Fly is better because of its character development. However, you should still see this one too.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Black Hawk Down (2001) Review

Many people may disagree with this but in my opinion, this is one of the best war films ever made. Sure, it's not a masterpiece but in my opinion, it's very close to being one. This movie is a highly well-done experience.

123 U.S. soldiers are dropped into Somalia to capture two top lieutenants of a renegade warlord and they find themselves in a desperate battle with a large number of heavily-armed Somalis.

Ridley Scott has created one of the most realistic war movies ever. I actually felt that I was in the middle of the war-zone as it was going on. Because of how much it felt like the actual story, the movie creates a high amount of tension and it makes the viewer realize what exactly went on when the real event happened. The movie does an especially superb job on this because of the realistic environments, shots, and acting.

The score is fantastic. When certain scenes happen, it draws emotions out of us. Unlike a lot of movies, Black Hawk Down's score works with the movie. This means that without the music when a certain character dies off or when another important scene happens, it will have an impact on you regardless. But the score makes that feeling you had more massive.

Many people dislike the fact that this movie didn't have much character development. It is true that it's light on it but this film isn't focused on developing the characters, nor does it have to. It's completely dedicated to providing us with a first-person perspective of being in the middle of combat.

This movie does have a lot of suspense but it can be a bit mundane getting to the good parts. The opening is quite overlong and dry. It is full of military jargon and diagrams. But despite this, this movie is definitely worth seeing. After the opening is over, you're in for a big treat.

So in conclusion, this is a truly outstanding movie. Even though the opening is slow, this movie will impress you because of how realistic it is. It has realistic environments, shots, and acting. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest war films ever made.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) Review

This is a very interesting and creative movie with emotion and power. It's about a man named Randle McMurphy who goes to a mental institution. Then it shows his many battles with Nurse Ratched. Nurse Ratched is an obstructionist and nasty character who everyone in the institution hates. Her attitude annoys people greatly even though she barely shows any emotion. Louise Fletcher did a great performance but Jack Nicholson is the one who steals the show. In my opinion, his acting was perfect. He was perfect in timing and character perception. The cinematography was excellent and the haunting score is also equally amazing. The ending takes a dramatic turn making it highly tragic but it shows a great deal of power and emotion and that is what makes it so great as a film. 4 decades later, it still holds up great and it's just as entertaining and moving as it was back in 1975. This is one of the 3 movies in history to receive all 5 top Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay). This is also the most deserving film to receive those awards.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
Lone Survivor (2013) - Review

This is an underrated war film by Peter Berg which deserves much more credit. It contains well-done battle sequences and it keeps the viewer hoping for a happy ending even though the outcome is already known.

4 Navy SEALs on a mission to find a high-level Taliban operative find themselves in a desperate gun battle with enemy forces in the Hindu Kush region.

Like Black Hawk Down, this is a movie which puts you in the middle of combat and it immerses you well. It isn't as claustrophobic and tense as Black Hawk Down was but it still does a great job in immersing you. The make-up work is bloody realistic and it shows you how all 4 men slowly become weaker and weaker as the battles they face continue on and on. Black Hawk Down didn't have this feature but I still think that it was more tense. I'll explain why I think that later in this review.

Mark Wahlberg did a great job acting. His performance isn't too impressive at first but after the movie starts to pick up, he gives it all he has and he does an exceptional job in the second half. All of the other actors give great performances as well but Wahlberg is the one who stands out the most considering that he's the main star of the movie.

I mentioned earlier that this movie has a lot of tension (which is does). However, perhaps "Lone Survivor" wasn't exactly the best title they could have come up with. After the other 3 men die, I felt that the movie lost some of its suspense because I knew that Wahlberg wouldn't die and I felt more calm in the battle scenes which came after it. I know that some people already knew the ending since this was based on a true story but I wasn't familiar with the main story and I would've felt more tension if there was a different title.

Even though this movie loses some of its tension near the end, I still think that this is an underrated war movie and it deserves a lot more praise. Some people have argued that it has intensity not seen in a Hollywood war movie ever since Black Hawk Down. I kind of agree with this statement. However, this movie still has well-executed battle scenes which are definitely worthy of a viewing. In my opinion, this is one of the best war movies of the past 15 years.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966) Review

Firstly, this movie is in fact the best Western film ever made. It is amazing but it isn't perfect.

After 3 men find out that $200,000 is buried under a gravestone, it leads them to race for it. They encounter many different things along the way including the civil war but eventually, they all meet up by the cemetery which leads to a duel.

Most famous trilogies as good as they were, never quite captured the charm of the original. But with Leone's "the man with no name" trilogy, the movies kept on getting better as it continued on.

Despite the fact that Clint Eastwood's character is labeled as "The Good", he is not much better than the other 2. It's not quite clear why this movie was titled that but it's open for interpretation.

The memorable and haunting score does a great job setting up certain scenes and it feels very "Western" to me too.

The characters are introduced excellently as always in the opening. The movie often only shows eye contact and body language to convey their personalities. In fact, not a single word is said in the first 10 minutes.

Leone has an environment of "every man for himself" as the characters constantly lie and backstab each other as much as possible.

The ending when all 3 characters get in a "Mexican standoff" is one of the tensest scenes in cinema. It slowly builds up by the haunting music and the shots of the 3 men getting slowly closer to their guns ready to draw them at any moment.

The only thing that bugged me about this movie is that it took 1 hour and 15 minutes for the film to introduce the inciting incident. So the first act is unnecessarily slow moving but that's the only thing I didn't like about this.

This is the best Western out there. It's not perfect but its remarkable shots and filmmaking make it a movie well worth viewing a second time.

Final Verdict: 9/10 Amazing
Cinefix's Movie Lists, Anyone?

I used to really love Watchmojo's videos. However, they are really running out of ideas. I know that this has been said multiple times in the comments section of their videos, and I promise that I'm not a troll. This is an opinion which I really have. A long time ago, every time they would upload a video, I'd watch all of them. Eventually, the topics became uninteresting, and I was skipping a lot of them as I didn't think that they'd interest me. There came a time when I wasn't interested in anything they would make, and I'd only watch a couple videos a week which seemed mildly interesting to me. I eventually unsubscribed from them for that reason.

I tried to find another channel which produces great movie lists. I found a couple channels, but I had issues with how long they took to make videos, and how they focused more on modern movies. Eventually, I found a really great channel called "Cinefix".

I watched their video "Top 10 Most Beautiful Movies of All Time", a video which counted down the films that they felt had the best cinematography. I downright loved the video, and I had a lot of fun replaying it several times. They focused on both new and old movies, and I could tell that they had a very wide knowledge and understanding of cinema.

I've never really been interested in the dialogue that Watchmojo would put in their lists. Sometimes, I'd find myself skipping ahead just so I could see the next picks, and be done with the video as quick as possible. However, I love Cinefix's dialogue. It is written much better, and I always watch the entirety of their videos, because I love listening to what they have to say.

Some people might dislike how they only post roughly 1 list per week. However, I like how they do it. It means that they won't run out of ideas anytime soon, and the rate at which they post lists won't feel any bit excessive. Also, I feel like their topics for lists are much better than Watchmojo's topics as well.

Recently, they started something called "Brilliant Film Moments". It's sort of like their lists, but the picks are unranked. What they do in them is feature several scenes from movies (or TV shows as they did a video on Game of Thrones recently) which they think are really good. They feature them, talk about what happened in them, and explain why they work so good. Their dialogue in those videos are the best.

If you're getting tired of Watchmojo or if you've never heard of these guys before, I'll post a few lists of theirs which I really love down below. Make sure you check them out to see if you enjoy them.

Sunshine (2007) Review

Out of all the movies I’ve ever seen, Sunshine is the one that I’ve watched the most because it is very addicting.

This is set in the future when the sun is dying out. 8
astronauts then have to go to the sun to deliver a stellar bomb in hopes of
re-starting the sun. But the mission proves to be increasingly difficult.

I wasn’t a fan at first but this has grown on me a lot. This
is a very entertaining movie. It will keep you on the edge of your seat from
beginning to end. What I like about it is that it kept me engaged all
throughout it. Every single one of its action sequences keeps you on the edge
of your seats the entire time. The sacrifices made by the crew members are
heroic and jaw-dropping. Every characters death scene is handled with care and
is done superbly. The movie handles its scenes with care to make them look as
good as possible. The movie has a lot of repeat watchability due to this and it
adds a whole lot to this movie.

I know that a lot of people complained about Pinbacker, but
I disagree with you all. The movie needed something big to spice things up. It
needed something to raise tension. Otherwise, the movie would’ve just been
bland. Pinbacker brought a lot of tension to the movie and he carried it with
excellence. I know that it’s a drastic change of plot so I can understand why
someone might not like it. However, what you have to admit is that Pinbacker
was a lot better than most slasher/horror movies nowadays. Also, the final
third had moving scenes too. Mays death was an amazing scene, the Capa’s jump
scene is tense and well-done, and the last 5 minutes is just downright
beautiful.

This is a really underrated movie. It deserves much more
praise. I think that this is a masterpiece. I’ve seen a few good arguments
people have been bringing up but they don’t affect my opinion of this. This is
one of my favorite movies of all time.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Masterpiece
World's Greatest Dad (2009) Review

**Spoiler Alert: This Page May Contain Spoilers**

World's Greatest Dad was not what I expected it to be. I expected another quirky and happy themed comedy but the film is much more dark than I expected.

After a teacher's son is found dead in a humiliating accident, he covers it up by faking a suicide but inadvertently creates a lot of media attention by doing so.

This movie has the power to draw emotions out of you. The scene when Kyle dies is pretty well-done because of the music and because Robin Williams did a great performance since he was able to fit so much emotions into a couple minutes. And speaking of acting, Robin Williams did a great performance especially in the second half.

I liked how this movie handled suicide. It was a brave and honest look at it. Of course, the way it handles it might offend some people but it's great that the movie's not afraid to step out of the audience's comfort zone.

This movie is actually a lot more dark then I expected it to be. This movie goes through comedy, heartbreaking, and overcoming loss so fast that you have to switch your mood really fast. It can be confusing because I wasn't a big fan of the concepts the movie explored. Mainly because I had no idea that any of these things were being explored in this movie.

So this is a great movie. It accomplished what it was trying to do. It had the power to draw us in and keep us entertained. It may not appeal to everyone with its themes but it's still a pretty good movie, just a flawed one.

Final Verdict: 7/10 Good
Scarface (1983) - Review

The Godfather, The Godfather Part 2, Pulp Fiction, and Goodfellas are usually called some of the greatest gangster films ever made. However, Scarface also gets a lot of praise from the audience and it is often compared to them and sometimes it is even considered to be the best film from the genre. I disagree.

Tony Montana, a Cuban criminal, slowly takes over a drug cartel as he slowly succumbs to greed and eventually goes mad with power.

Firstly, this movie does have its positives. Firstly, the acting is great. Al Pacino does a great performance here and his acting gets more unnerving as he gets more greedy as the film goes on. The other actors gave a good performance too but Al Pacino did the best job. It's not as groundbreaking as his performance in The Godfather Part 2 but it is still great on its own. The score is very memorable and fitting also.

Also, the final 20 minutes are very well-done. It shows how Tony's fortunes and wealth begin to collapse in on itself and he finally gets what's coming to him. The gun battle at the end is masterfully done. It contains a very quotable line of dialogue and it is executed very well. And by the time the end result comes, it is certain to make your jaw drop. Also, the other couple shootout scenes are very stylized and well-done too.

However, this is why I think that it isn't as good as other movies from the genre.

The longer a movie is, the more likely it will run into pacing issues. Being 170 minutes long, Scarface does in fact have pacing issues and it doesn't have the same perfect pacing that The Godfather did. The issue with its pacing is that it takes a while for them to set up Tony's character and it also takes a while for his personality to change in the movie.

Also, I found this movie to be very bland. Sure, it picks up in the last 20 minutes but there isn't a whole lot of action going on beforehand. I mentioned that this movie has pacing issues and those issues can often make it feel very boring. Not much exciting or interesting events go on in it. Several scenes should've been shortened or removed altogether.

But despite what I said, this is not a bad movie. It does have its flaws but I'd say that it has a little more good things about it than there are bad things. This is entertaining if you don't mind bland movies and the slow-pacing. I just don't think that it's as good as other highly-praised movies (which I listed earlier) from the same genre.

Final Verdict: 6/10 Okay
