The Bucket List

I couldn't wait to see this movie, when I first saw the commercial on t.v. I remember saying Jack and Morgan this is gonna be a freakin good movie. It did have it's moments, I thought that it would be non stop laughfest. Morgan Freeman with his dry sense of humour, and come on now, Jack Nicholson, he's hilarious. I thought that I'd be laughing my butt off. The movie did have it's moments, don't get me wrong it was a good movie, seemed a little slow in parts, but it's a movie about two strangers that become good friends in the cancer ward of a hospital, that embark on a journey to accomplish a list of things before they "kick the bucket". I would recommend this movie, although go into the movie knowing that I found Morgan's sense of humour (dry) seemed to get most of the good jokes in the movie, Jack was good, but I didn't find that the writers wrote some good jokes for Jack.

The Great Debators

Well what can I say about this movie, other than fantastic. I thought that the story was great, about a debate team from a black school in the I believe it was the 30's. It is also based on a true story. The professor ( Denzell Washington) challenged the members of the debate team and made them so good that they were able to go on and challenge the Harvard University Debate Team. I'm definately not going to tell you what happens with the debate, you'll have to see it for yourself. I would certainly recommend watching this movie to anyone. Great Movie.

The Bourne Ultimatum

Wow, is all I can really say about this movie. I loved the first two movies, The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, but holy crap I didn't think that they could outdo both of them. If you can't tell I liked this movie a lot. If you've been living under a rock for the past 5 years, the bourne series is about Jason Bourne who is a paid assassin for the U.S. government who in the first movie woke up in the beginning of the movie with amnesia and slowly started to get his memory back. Meanwhile the government is trying to track him down and kill him because he botched the job that he was on. I don't want to give away the whole series, but in this movie there is still a little bit of his memory that he doesn't have back yet and a few more questions that he needs answered. All three of the movies are pretty much non-stop action and suspense. Watch all three.

I am Legend

Now I'm not sure if anyone else out there agrees with me or not on this one, but I thought that this was probably one of the biggest wastes of a few hours that I have ever spent. Yeah sure it has Will Smith and I usually like his movies, but I thought that this movie was waaaaayyy too long and boring. If you're haven't heard of this movie it's a movie about a man who is the last man standing after a plague destroy's most of the world and turned the rest of the world into monsters. Will's character is trying to find a cure for the monsters to tame them and even turn them back. There were a couple of quick moving camera scenes that kind of make you dizzy watching it, and the rest of the movie was Will going about his routine during the day, driving around with his dog, talking to himself and various manequins that he has positioned around the city so he can pretend that there is still life in the city. I know a lot of people that liked this movie, but I certainly wasn't one of those people.

Gone Baby Gone

This is a new movie that I didn't really hear anything about. It's directed by Ben Affleck, and the main star is his younger brother Casey Affleck. Casey's character is private detective hired by a family of a kidnapped girl in south boston where he's lived all of his life and everyone in the neighborhood knows him. Casey is hired because the family believes that Casey would have a better chance of finding the little girl because they believe people from the neighborhood would probably talk to him instead of the police. I didn't have much for expectations going into this, due to the fact that Ben directed it, but I was pretty damnd surprised. I thought that the movie has a great story, it seemed a little on the long side, but a good surprise in the end. I would recommend this movie, if you aren't looking for an action flick, but a good drama.
