August Rush
This movie was pleasantly good. I remembering seeing the previews and thought it looked ok, but it was much better. The music in the movie was great, a good story, great acting, not much else to say.
I'll give a little about what this movie is about. August Rush is a story of a boy who is in an orphanage, who has been there since birth. He believes that he can feel his parents thru music. This child has the most amazing gift when it comes to music. He here's noises surrounding him and he puts them all together and all of a sudden he's listening to an orchestra with the sounds, amazing. Any way, the boy goes on a search to find his parents, of whom he's never met.

Rambo
Well Rambo sure done got a lot more gruesome. The first 3 for their time had lots of blood and gore, but this was a whole new level. You see people getting shot and their bodies rip in two, but the scenes cut to the next shot very quickly, so you don't see a whole lot.
Other than the bunch of gore, Rambo on the whole was a pretty solid movie. It picks up with John Rambo, pretty much living iscolated from the rest of the world, he lives on the outskirts of Burma and lives in a boat that he uses to go upstream and find dangerous snakes that the townspeople places bets on in snake battles.
Then one day a group of missionaries from the states come to see if they can hire Rambo to take them upstream in his boat into Burma so they can help the sick and wounded. Rambo who has lost all faith in humanity reluctantly takes them up stream. When the missioaries end up getting captured by the Burmanese armie, Rambo is then hired to take a group of mercenaries into Burma to rescue the misisonaries. We all know how this one is gonna turn out, but the surprise that I had with this movie is that Rambo doesn't do it all alone this time around, he actually works with the mercenaries.
Good movie
