Movie Review Mania By Christina

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Will I Am, Lynn Collins, Kevin Durand, Dominic Monaghan and Ryan Reynolds

This movie is about Wolverine seeking revenge on his brother for the death of his girlfriend.

Opening in theaters tomorrow this film is rated PG 13 and has a run time of 107 minutes. I really enjoyed the first 2 X-Men movies and I am really looking forward to seeing this one. It looks like this one is full of action and some intense drama. I viewed the trailer and I was wondering why none of the others from the first 2 movies were in it. Hopefully it  still will be entertaining. I think Hugh can pull it off he is a great actor and I love his character.

Hit the theaters tomorrow to catch this new X-Men.

Trailer:

Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Ethan Hawke, Amanda Peet, Will Lyman, Brian Goodman, Donnie Wahlberg (Yes Mark’s Brother) and Angela Featherstone

This movie is based on actual events and is about 2 long time friends who get involved in crime as means to support their families and causes strain on their friendship and becomes detrimental to their families.

Mark Ruffalo and Ethan Hawke are outstanding in their performances. I truly felt for them as they go through many drug and alcohol phases and crime just trying to keep thier families financially secure. The supporting cast was excellent, all of them working together well. This movie is hard hitting and will stir plenty of emotions. It is very intense and anyone who enjoys a good crime story that is not so predictable will love it.

This movie came out yesterday on DVD, well worth a look. I give it a rating of a 8.

Starring: Matt Dillon, Kate Beckinsale, Angela Bassett, Alan Alda, Vera Farmiga, Noah Wyle and David Schwimmer

This movie is about a  news reporter who is trying to get a story that will win her recognition and the respect she feels she deserves. After writing a story and revealing a secretive CIA operative she is asked to reveal her source and after not complying does jail time.

Kate Beckinsale plays the reporter who will not reveal her source and her performance was stellar, her acting ability is superb in making you believe she truly is the person in the role she is playing. All of the supporting cast were very good even though some of them only had a small part.

The movie is based on actual events that took place and it was hard to believe that this woman would go to such lengths to protect her source and jeopardize her family life because of it. A very interesting, intelligent, thrilling and thought provoking film that keeps you thinking the whole time. The ending is truly unpredictable and surprising.

The DVD is released today and it is one I recommend you watching if you like a thrilling suspensful drama with some top notch actors. My rating is a 8.
