REVIEW:






Going with very low expectations, I surprisingly enjoyed this what should've been a dumb, cheesy, sci-fi kids flick. Aliens In The Attic is about a family that takes a trip up to a vacation house along with their cousins. But as it turns out, there are aliens there to take over Earth. Now, it's up to the kids to save the world before the aliens become our rulers. This movie is very funny that the whole family would enjoy. The only criticisms I have are the aliens and one scene that was too childish for me. The deal with the aliens is that even though they look menacing, they are very clumsy and kind of funny. The aliens kind of reminded me of Fearless Leaders' assistants in 2000's flop The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle. Sure it may have had a few laughs, but I would've waited on DVD for this one.

REVIEW:


This movie really follows up to the original and made up to my expectations. That was actually pretty obvious because they usually drive really really fast in this action flick. This sequal takes place 5 years after the original where we find Dominic Toretto returning to Los Angeles to avenge a loved ones death. But this reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Conner. But, as they race through crowded city streets and across international lines, they must test their friendship by teaming together to bring down a shared enemy. This movie is now tied with Terminator Salvation for the most explosions and action in a 2009 movie. But, this was by far better than T4 in every way. My suggection is for you to see the first movie The Fast And The Furious first. 2 Fast 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift don't mean anything in the series. They're just backstories to the series. Therefore, rent Fast And Furious as soon as your done watching The Fast And The Furious. AS SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P John Hughes

When a movie director like John Hughes comes into the industry, movies that are made become American classics. These classics include The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and my 2nd favorite movie of all time, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He also produced such hits like National Lampoon's Vacation and Home Alone. To show my appreciation for this movie hero, I made a sculpture for him with this post. And John, I mean Mr Hughes, may you let g-d rest in peace. We'll miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REVIEW:

This movie is probably now the weirdest movie I ever saw. Then again, it is a Steven Speildberg movie, not that ALL of his movies are weird. A.I. is about a couple in the mid 22nd Century who's child is placed in suspended animation until they can find a cure for him. During their sons' absence, the father gets a robot that has love for the parents it's taken care of. When the son comes suddenly gets cured, the robot needs to find his true self in the world. This movie is very unique in its own way. But, it was find of freaky for me and also, toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo science fiction, even though Mr. Speildberg has great taste in story and special effects. Also, I would not recommend this for younger kids because it is way over their heads and they'll have nightmares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Either way, adults should try to enjoy this very interesting sci-fi flick.

REVIEW:

This movie, with its brilliant cast, visuals, and story is now my favorite movie of ALL time. Titanic tells the story of two complete strangers who meet on what was known as the "unsinkable" ship; a rich girl with an awful life named Rose and a tomboy who won tickets onto the ship named Jack. Together they create a close relationship that ends up becoming a forbidden love. But, when the ship collides with an iceberg in the North Atlantic, their passionate love affair becomes a thrilling race of survival. Director James Cameron, who has created the first two Terminator films and Aliens has made a beautifully crafted film filled with action, drama, comedy, romance, and heart that will live in everyone who sees this movie. Parents, I'd reccomend this movie for ages 12-14+ because there is some sexuality between the main leads in this movie. Also, the movie gets pretty sad in the last hour of the movie so have tissues near you at all times. Also, for people who can't stand sitting around for over 3 hours, then don't watch this. For me, it just flew by if you ask me. So to come clear, GET YOUR BUTT OR BUTTS UP AND SEE TITANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
