just kidding. I lied

The sequel will be on the NEXT post :P

anyways here are some informal movie reviews for movies I've watched these past few weeks:

1) Pan's Labyrinth- 5 stars! Great plot, great setting, AWESOME MUSIC, and cool special effects. Rated R.

2) Hannibal Rising- 4 1/2 stars. It was really good. Setting was great, casting was impeccable (Gaspard Ulliel XDDDD). Acting was perfect. Some of the character's accents threw off the characterization. Screenplay written by Thomas Harris himself, but not much like the book (or thats wat the fans say. Poorly received by audiences. Rated R

3) 300- 5 stars! PERRFECT film effects. The perfect degree of suspense and drama. Casting was AWESOME! (Gerard Butler XDDD) Special effects were remarkable. Well received :) Rated R

4) Notes on a Scandal- 3 stars. Graphic, and too much drama. What I did like was the casting; Judi Dench and Cate Blanchette really collaborate well. Rated R

5) Far From Heaven- 4 stars. It was okay. It was really dramatic. The situation is wierd. The setting is really nice though. The characterization portrayed by Julianna Moore was impeccable. Rated PG-13

6) Away From Her-4 1/2 stars. Sweet movie. I really liked it. But there isn't really any climax to the plot. It's more of a monotone story. Great back story. Rated R (I think)

7) Meet the Fockers- 5 stars! I honestly CANNOT believe I didn't watch it sooner. It's HILARIOUS!

8) Fracture- 4 1/2 stars. I loved Anthony Hopkins's acting in this movie; he seems to like playing sadistic and clever criminals who bust out of jail by means of critical thinking.It reminded me of his role in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Overall, the acting was great. I didn't really get the plot because my rambunctious cousins were over and wanted to play the nintendo 64 (yeah, I'm a little out-dated...)
