Movies Reviews
Review for The Dark Knight - Must Go! - Memorable
The action was good the characters(except for Maggies G character)were well developed. & Heath as the joker was just amazing. I was happy after seeing the movie & sad that after that performance, we would no longer be seeing Heath Ledger act. July 10, 2008
Review for Hellboy II: The Golden Army - Must Go! - Hellboy II
I loved it. A very entertaining movie. I was a quiet fan of the first and got the DVD and enjoyed it even more with each viewing (now I'm a loud fan of all things Hellboy). The second one has even more stuff going on and every scene filled up with Guillermo Del Toro's creativity -- like the troll market. I enjoy the relationships between the BPRD characters: Hellboy, Liz, Abe, and Jeffrey Tambor's Agent Manning. There's a lot going on. This movie is for people who have enjoyed: Labyrinth, Pan's Labryinth, Dark Crystal, Ghost Busters, Men In Black, X-Men, King Kong (imagine if King Kong were a plant), Lord of the Rings, and so many more -- yet, you don't feel it's ripping those movies off -- it's its own movie...And, Who doesn't love Hellboy? (thanks Mike Mignola for creating such a fun, sweet character from hell). July 14, 2008
Review for Journey to the Center of the Earth - Must Go! - Great time
Wow..I really enjoyed this movie. It was so much fun to watch and also very funny. One very smart thing that I did do or should I say didn't do is build too much anticipation for it, and that's why it was so awesome! If you go into a movie with high expectations you will be let down. I absouloutely loved this movie and I trully hope it comes out on blu-ray 3D!!!!!!!!! The_Machine's wife July 14, 2008
