Walk Among the Tombstone Trailer Review

Liam Neeson is back at it again! This time in an action, drama, and crime thriller all in one. And once again like Taken and Taken 2, his wife is kidnapped. However, this could be a redeeming movie for Liam Neeson after Taken 2 because this trailer does have some aspects of Taken in it, it adds a new element to a Liam Neeson action movie that we have not seen in a while. This time he plays a retired cop who is now a private detective and when he is helping a man find the people who killed his wife, and then while investigating the crime Liam Nesson's wife gets taken. Overall this trailer looks cool because of the eerie and calmness of the song choice to go along with the more dramatic and dark tone of the trailer. However this movie could go both ways. It could either be another action movie bomb for Liam Neeson or this could be a breath of fresh air along the lines of his recent film Non-Stop

Noah Movie Review

Noah Movie Review

Noah stars Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Ray Winstone, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins, Logan Lerman, and Douglas Booth.

Noah is about Russell Crowe, who is Noah and receives a message from God telling him that he is going to end the world by a giant flood. That is essentially the main plot of the story and then looking back it is the only plot that is actually advertised and shown in trailers and on plot synopsis'. However, that "main" central plot is resolved a little more than halfway and then the sub-plot kicks in, and unfortunately the movie takes a turn for the worse. 

Before i get to the negatives of the movies, and there are a few, i wanna talk about the positives. First off, the no doubt best part of the movie is the amazing performances by nearly every single actor in the movie, Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins especially gave stand out performances. There was not a single moment of over acting and the emotion in the movie felt real and genuine, even those these actors where portraying "fictional" people. Another positive aspect of the movie is the effects. At times, the animals didn't look the best but for the majority of the movie the effects were top notch. There was also an aspect of this movie, which i won't spoil, was handled very well when it could have been extremely over dramatic.

Now to the negatives of the film. First off, i actually despised the first 30 minutes of the movie. I started to get into the film once the arc was being built but until then, i was bothered by the editing of the movie. By that i mean that the first 30 minutes of the movie seem to have no flow and is just a montage of scenes put together to introduce the characters and get the plot in motion. Now, the part i was talking about not advertised in trailers would be the aspect of the Watchers. The Watchers were fallen angels and in the movie, they are giant rock monsters. I was extremely annoyed with this aspect of the movie, until it was shown the reason for them being in the movie. However though, i thought it was a rather poor excuse to help Noah get out of a situation. Also, the Watchers effects at times looked like bad stop-motion animation and that definitely took me out of the movie. Also, for a PG-13 movie, there was some EXTREME violence in the movie, and i was really taken off guard by this. The over violence in the movie was not a one scene thing, but it was rather watching a girl get trampled, people ripping limps and tearing apart a pig, and the over bloody violence in the movie. I usually love violence in movies, when it is done right, and the over violent scenes in the movie did not fit with the tone and issues this movie was trying to show. My final negative with the movie, and this is a small once is towards the end of the movie , there is a 2 minute montage scene of the earth evolving which was poorly done, in my opinion.

Overall, Noah is a decent time at the movies and is sure to please movie goers around. I however was bothered by a good portion of the movie. I would have given Noah a C, if it were not for a rather well done ending, really amazing performances, and decent special effects.

Noah: B-    

Top 10 Movies of All Time

Warning:
THIS IS MY LIST, I UNDERSTAND IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH MY LIST, BUT THIS IS MY LIST AND ITS MY OPINIONS. IF YOU WANT LEAVE SOME MOVIES THAT YOU SHOULD THINK BE ON THIS LIST IN THE COMMENTS, OR LEAVE YOUR TOP 10 LIST!!! THANKS!!!!

10. The Dark Knight

Not only is this my favorite comic book to movie adaptation, but it also has one of the best acting performances ever to be put on the big screen. The Dark Knight is the best movie out of Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy. This movie was immensely satisfying from start to finish and was riddled with top notch performances from every single actor in the movie.

9.  Signs

This movie proves how amazing M. Night Shamalyamadingdong used to be. The last 3rd act of the movie is one of the most suspenseful and eerie 3rd acts of any movie...ever. M. Night Shamalyan shot this movie beautifully and it is contributed by an amazing score. This movies morals of togetherness and belief in religion is so subtle that it makes it blatantly obvious.

8. Die Hard

 Yippe Kay Yay Mother F***er. This is not only probably one of the most well done actions movies ever made, but it introduced us to a new wave of vulnerable action heroes. Though now the plot of this movie might seem very generic and bland, it was the first of its kind back in 88'. Now nearly 30 years later, not one movie with its plot (one man against all odds takes on dozens of people) has come close to the level of bada** this movie portrays on screen.

7. Her

This was my favorite movie of 2013 and it was for many good reasons. Right now from the millions of movies ever made, there are very few amazingly original movies, and this is one of them. Her raises questions about true love and what our society will be in the near future. From scene 1 to the final credits of the movie, i was incredibly engaged in Joaquin phoenix performance. Not to mention the amazing voice work of Scarlet Johansson, who i think should have been nominated for best supporting actress. 

6. Children of Men

After i watched this movie, i went back to some of the scenes and i discovered that the main color scheme for the movie is gray and black. This is why i love the movie so much, the human race does not die in a big spectacle but instead quietly and probably more realistic. The movie was also brilliantly directed and has an amazing lead performance from Clive Owen.

5. Shutter Island

It might scene like a crime to cinema in many peoples eyes, but this is my favorite Martin Scorsese movie. I think this movie is one of the most underrated movies of all time. It is so beautifully made and shot and the whole movie feels gloomy and has a huge sense of dread over the entire movie. This is also one of my favorite Leo performances. Shutter Island kept me guessing to the very end and even after the end credits. This movie also has one of my personal favorite movie quotes ever.

4. Let Me In

Before i start i must say that i have seen the movie that this is based off of "Let the Right One In." However I think this movie was far superior in nearly every single way. The performances by the child actors shows that child actors do indeed not suck. This movie is BEAUTIFULLY shot, with long lingering violent shots. It also have a very interesting moral point to the story, which is how much people will do for love. I can't think of a movie that is more well shot and made than this one.

3. The Fighter

Anything David O'Russell made after this movie i was going to look forward to. There have only been a few times when i have been fully engrossed in a movie like this one. The Fighter has career best performances by its three leads Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, and Amy Adams. It is also the best sports drama ever made IMO. The Fighter provides amazing looks on what people do for their families.

2. Shawshank Redemption

Need i say anything? This movie is a complete classic and a masterpiece to cinema. I would be surprised if someone told me that they did not like this movie. 

1. Perks of Being a Wallflower

I can't express my undying love for this movie. I have seen this movie 8+ times and i have yet to find a fault in it. It is the most emotionally moving movie i have ever experienced. The performances are the best of the best and the fact that the author of the book directed this movie blows my mind. This is the perfect movie and i recommend that everyone experiences this movie at least once in your life. Especially if you weren't the most popular person in high school and had a hard time finding a group of friends.
