The Matrix (1999)
10/10
One of the best Sci-Fi Action Movies.
26 November 2017
The Matrix was released in 1999 and had an immense impact on pop culture. It's a movie that inspired countless filmmakers and that was widely acclaimed at release. It went on to gross around 500 million U.S.D at the box-office for a budget of 63 million. Directed by the Wachowski brothers (now sisters), and starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss, The Matrix is a sci-fi action movie that takes inspiration from Anime and Kung-Fu flicks.

Neo, a tech geek who's life revolves computers, is told one day that he's the savior of a world in which robots have taken control and that the reality he believes is true is actually all fake. The real world has gone to ashes and everyone is being controled by robots. Canadian actor, Keanu Reeves who is not known for his acting capabilities, fits the role of Neo very well, as does his colleagues for their respective roles. This movie was revolutionary in it's amazing action sequences which feature dazzling special effects that are to this day very impressive. What The Matrix does, that few other 90's action movies were able to do, is to blend amazing action sequences with a story that challenges the watcher and that has a deep message. This movie is famously known for it's futuristic message about technology and society that's innovative and scarily plausible. Obviously, The Matrix couldn't have been as good as it was without the amazing score by Don Davis and the cinematography helmed by Bill Pope. The score mixes electronic and futuristic type beats that fits perfectly the computer imagery that's central to the movie. The cinematography had a big role in the impact of the action scenes. It's beautiful and really different. The « Bullet Time » sequence is still known as a milestone in cinematography and a great achievement. It's a movie that is more suited for youngsters and fans of sci-fi and action but I would still recommend it to anyone who's a fan of quality entertainment.

Sure, the plot of the Matrix is nothing new. We have seen it countless other times, but it has never been done like this and as efficiently. The Matrix is a revolutianary movie that has had an immense impact on cinema. It is one of the very best sci-fi action movie of all time.

10/10 – Amazing.

An OK ending to the Hunger Games Saga.
20 November 2015
Hunger games mockingjay part 2 looked promising. After the very disappointing Mockingjay part 1 in which nothing of big interest happened the conclusion could only be better and more satisfying. Hopefully it is but not as much as I would of wanted it to.

I thought this movie was going to have a lot more action than it did. I thought this movie was going to be the big conclusion to the saga and the clash between the rebels and the capitol. And it sorta was..but there is still a lot of things in this movie that are boring. The majority of this films feels like a dramatic talking film and not this big fun blockbuster that it was supposed to be. The pacing in this movie is so slow and at times in this film it just felt like they where dragging this story that should of never been split in two films in the first place! There is simply not enough substance for two movies. When stuff happens though it is a lot of fun and Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss is once again excellent! She's definitely the highlight of the whole movie.

Overral mockinjay part 2 is slightly better than part 1 but still not a good conclusion to this saga. The two first HG movies are still the best and this one is just slightly above average. You may enjoy it more than I did if your'e a hardcore fan of Hunger Games but still this was a disappointment.

Yet another great Spielberg/Hanks film!
17 October 2015
Bridge of spies is directed by Steven Spielberg who is probably the most prolific and well known director of all time. He directed movies such as Jurassic Park, ET , Jaws , Raiders of the Lost Ark and many more! Though Bridge of spies is more of a serious real life event movie like Schindlers list or Lincoln. It is the fourth time Spielberg and Hanks have joined to make a film and it is yet the fourth time that they've made a great movie! (Saving private Ryan, Catch Me if you can and the Terminal)

This movie is masterfully crafted, acted, shot and directed. It's what you'd expect from a Spielberg film! Though this is not everyones piece of cake. I you like a lot of serious talking and great Oscar worthy performances like me, then you'll be more then pleased with Bridge of Spies. But if you like more action/adventure Spielberg films keep away from this one even though I'd still recommend it!

Bridge of Spies is one of the year's best film and I cannot wait to see this masterfully made film once again. I would highly recommend this film to everyone except if your'e an average moviegoer who prefers big popcorn fun. Go examine Bridge of Spies from it's 2h20min run time and have a good time at the movies.

The Visit (I) (2015)
6/10
Finally a good movie from Mr.M. Night Shyamalan!
12 September 2015
The Visit follows two kids who goes to visit there grandparents for the first time and strange things starts happening...

So the Visit is a return to form for M.Night Shyamalan! He goes back to his routes after a few terrible movies like After earth, the last airbender and The Happening... This is an excellent funny horror movie! The acting is excellent and especially the young boy who is a great comic relief! And also, don't bother that grandma after 9:30! There is also a pretty good twist that will knock you flat!

Go check this movie out for yourselves and have fun! Shyamalan is back and I can't wait to see what he does next!

Ted 2 (2015)
6/10
Just BAD!
27 June 2015
Ted 2 is the continuation of the talking teddy bear played by Seth Macfarlane and Mark Whalberg. In this movie Ted tries to prove that he is a living person and not just a talking teddy bear. The first Ted was alright it featured inventive new humour but it wasn't the best comedy ever nether. So I was somewhat skeptical going into this movie because generally sequels get worst as they go especially in franchises like this. This movie is BAD! It wasn't nearly as good as the first one and featured stupid jokes that didn't even work most of the time and that just fell flat. The only good parts where the cameos! It is a cheap rehash of the original that is really dumb and not funny. Do not waste your precious time on this movie and save your money for something else. I promise you that this movie is not worth it! Watch Plain,trains and automobiles, a movie that is referenced in Ted 2. You will certainly have a better time!

Summer Fun!
12 June 2015
Jurassic World is the 4th instalment in the very popular Jurassic Park franchise. Following the almost perfect Jurassic Park(1993), the good ­ The lost World: Jurassic park(1997) and the alright but worst of the series Jurassic Park III(2001). Right off the bat, this movie is great! This is the definition of summer fun. I think that if you view this movie as a monster movie, you will have an immense fun with it. All from the world building of this movie to the great performance given by Chris Pratt I think that hands down the best sequel we have gotten since the original Jurassic Park. It's also a great family movie that everyone will enjoy. Definitely check this movie out, you will not regret it! The park is finally opened! Have fun!

A really funny comedy for all ages to enjoy!
21 April 2015
Mall Cop 2 is directed by Andy Fickman and stars Kevin James, Raini Rodriguez, David Henrie and Neal Mcdonough. Basically, the plot is that after six years of keeping the malls safe, Paul Blart has earned a vacation to Vegas for a conference with other security guards. He heads to Vegas with his teenage daughter before she heads off to college. But safety never takes a holiday when a gang of people try to steal some paintings. I really enjoyed the first Mall Cop movie and it is one of my favourite comedies of recent years. The first one was directed by Steve Carr and you can really tell the change of director. This movie is set in Las Vegas and I really liked the fact that they changed the setting because it was more conducive to comedy and a much funnier place. Kevin James in the movie is as funny as the first one, I couldn't think of anyone else to play his role and he does it perfectly. He is really funny in the movie and is really dedicated to his role. A thing that the first movie was missing but that this one got right is that the sidekicks where actually funny and added a lot to the story. For instance, the other Mall Cops where as funny as Kevin James and that definitely added a lot to the movie. The first had no real sidekicks and though Kevin James was funny he could have needed the help of others to make it better. I really like this style of comedies and Mall Cop 2 did it very well. A lot of good jokes and memorable moments. My only issue was that the movie takes about 25 minutes to really get going. The first part of the movie is slow but does have a few good gags. But once it gets started it is great! This movie was as good as the first one because of a minor issue but the setting and story was better than the first movie and that's why I highly recommend checking this movie out. It is a perfect summer movie that isn't too long and that will make laugh everyone from all ages. Check it out and have a lot of fun!

Awesome as always!
9 March 2015
Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides is the fourth instalment in this franchise and it is definitely as good and entertaining as all previous films.

In this one, Jack is trying to get to the fountain of youth with a lot of other peoples including Black Beard played by Ian Mcshane. Then follows the usual awesomeness you would expect from a pirates film!

After the poor critics that received Pirates Of The Caribbean at world ends which I thought was really good but maybe the weakest of all four movies, this one had only one way to go and that's up. After 4 years On stranger Tides finally came out and it was fresh and inventive. It went back more to the routes of the first film which is considered to be the best. It was a fun entertaining Summer movie and that's why I think it's an awesome fun movie to watch. I Definitely recommend this one to anyone if you have not seen it yet.

I can't wait for the next one(still a few years..)and I think this movie is excellent,definitely check it out! You won't regret!
