Moon is a 2009 independent psychological thriller starring Sam Rockwell and the voice of Kevin Spacey. Wow, what can I say other than 'bravo'! This may be the best film of 2009, literally, it was a very impressive movie that was sucessfully written, with great graphics plus the help of two great actors to give this film that 'awe' factor. The screenplay was written perfectly, most psychological thrillers like this are usually confusing and you often rewind the movie just to get what's going on. However this is not the case with Moon, it's a psychological film not too complicated to understand the storyline, not just that factor, it has many great lines and actions troughout the movie that shows that whoever wrote this is a literary genious! Anyway besides the writing, the graphics were pretty astounding as well! You really think while watching this that they actually did filming on the Moon! However not just that the robot was really cool too! The robot whose name in the movie is GERTY was voiced by Kevin Spacey. GERTY is a real huge robot that dangles from the ceiling for which has a track to move on to and fro throughout the moon base in the movie. The robot however looks very rinky dink and sloppily made compared to other robots in other movies but it has this kind quality to it that makes you look past it's cheepness and it ends up being your favorite movie robot! Anyway other than that, the acting was very superb by Sam Rockwell! In the movie he had to play 2 versions of himself, one as a tired, weak, yet intelligent astronaut and the other as a stong, physically and mentally fit astronaut who is yet a bit naive. His acting made both characters different wich hard to do these days in acting when playing the two main characters with one actor. All in all I definately without a doubt have to give this movie a 5 out of 5, perfectly made with just $5 mil dollars!

2012
2012 is a Disaster Film starring Woody Harrelson, John Cusack, Zlatko Buric and Danny Glover. 2012 was... interesting, poorly written but with astounding graphics! Even with this all-star cast the movie's screenplay and acting was a disaster! A problem I noticed that this film has a problem that a lot of great movies had problems with which is one thing that is very important not to do! It is not to kill off the interesting characters! C'mon after they kill off the Loonie Radio Host (Woody Harrelson), the cool Russian Billionaire (Zlatko Buric), and even, the President of the United States (Danny Glover), what's left to enjoy of the movie? However this is one of many problems movies face like Jurassic Park and Alien. Now let's focus on the positives, which are the movie's excellent graphics! While watching it I actually thought they had live coverage of the world ending it was so good! They really made you feel like you were there in the movie witnessing Armageddon in 2012! However graphics can only get you so far and that's why this movie only gets 3 out of 5, interesting but not interesting enough to keep you from being just a bit bored!

Michael Jackson's This Is It
Mchael Jackson's This Is It is a concert movie that stars Michael Jackson. The film is shows Michael Jackson with his concert group preparing for his 'This Is It' tour. The movie featured spectacular dancing, music, videos and graphics that make your jaw drop in total awe! The film is amazing in that you watch how awesome this concert is and you actually kinda wished Michael Jackson was still alive to perform this amazing concert! The movie had spectacular music videos made for each song in the concert, my personal fav was the Earth Song music video. This film really fascinated me and just thinking about it, if the concerts were to happen they would be the best concerts that have ever been that other musicians would soon follow that example. The music was good but Michael's voice, I noticed had gotten worse over the years but I do have to admit he sounded good for 50! Another thing, nobody ever said he was the King of Pop because he was good at singing, he was king because he was wicked sweet at dancing! Oh thinking about it the dancing may have been the best part of the whole movie, the dancing was so great I started dancing after the movie (and still am now)! Michael Jackson's This Is It gets a 4.5 out of 5, it was good but it kinda got boring near the end, however this is a definate must-see for any MJ fan.

Zombieland
Zombieland is a Zombie Apocalypse film starring Woody Harrelson and Abagail Breslin. Zombieland is one of the best zombie films I've ever seen with a lot of humor with some good zombie action! My problem with the film is that it just needed more zombies throughout the movie. What I mean by that is that it had a lot of zombies in the begining and the end but not so much the middle, however it makes up for that with a great story with a cool and hilarious cast. The film also worked out for its well rounded characters, I mean you have the lonely college nerd, the awesome redneck who loves twinkies, a hot chick who's supper bad with a little ignorant but mischevious little sister. After seeing this gut-buster horror film, i would have to give this one a 4.5 out of 5, a great zombie flick that just needed more zombies.

A Dangerous Man
A Dangerous Man is a 2010 action film starring Steven Seagal. The film itself was okay on the most part. It was a typical Seagal DTV movie where he's some kind of retired cop or something and he ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time and in the end shoots some people, blows up crap, and falls in love with some girl. There was really nothing wrong with anything particular like the effects or acting, it was great but it was the same old, same old Seagal. I have to give this one 3.5 stars, it was great but I need something different from Steven Seagal's DTV movies.

Knowing
Knowing is a 2009 film starring Nicholas Cage and... some other creepy looking actors. Knowing is the scariest disaster movie I've ever seen! The end really shocked me to the extent that I'm very light headed right now! The whole story kinda made sense it was a little confusing but it all made sense at the end. I felt it was scientifically correct too in the facts of how the Earth will end in a... oh yeah, I dont want to give away the ending! However all in all it was one creepy movie that I would advise for people who easily freak out to the smallest stuff not to see this one! I will give this one a 3 out of 5, its okay but it really didn't impress me too much, the only thing it suceeded in is that it scared a lot about what may happen in 2012.
