The Godfather

Last night I watched The Godfather for my first time. I thought it was very good. Although some parts were a little confusing, it was still very enjoyable. This movie is definitely a classic intense drama that has influenced many other films and TV shows. It certainly deserves much of the praise it has gotten for being a great movie. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys thrilling dramas.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you enjoy dramas, and you don't mind some violence/blood

The Dark Knight

I just got back from seeing The Dark Knight in theaters. Since there was a lot of hype about this movie, I definitely had high expectations when I walked into the theater. Overall, I thought it was really good. Although I think it is a bit overrated, I enjoyed the whole movie. The acting and the special effects were fantastic. The main thing that bothered me was that most parts of the movie were pretty predictable. I felt like I'd seen some of the scenes before. And although Heath Ledger had a superb performance, I don't think he was the best disturbing psychotic villain I've ever seen. The reason why is probably because the Joker's childhood or background is never really revealed. (In my opinion, the title of best movie psychopath belongs to Hannibal Lecter). Nevertheless, The Dark Knight is one of the best movies of 2008 so far, and I would recommend it to pretty much anyone.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you enjoy movies with lots of action

Mamma Mia!

Today I saw Mamma Mia in theaters. I didn't have very high expectations for the movie and I ended up thinking it was just okay. Overall the movie was pretty fun and funny. It had some fun scenes and songs but some parts were a little weird. It was a definitely a very silly movie. I would only recommend it to people who enjoy musicals and who don't mind movies that can be a little strange.

Zoolander

Yesterday I watched Zoolander for my 4th or 5th time. Although this movie is just a little bit overrated, I still think it is very funny and entertaining. The movie is a pretty silly comedy, so if you're into more serious movies you probably wouldn't like this. I'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys goofy comedies.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you don't mind movies that are pretty silly, and you enjoy comedies

Starman

Yesterday I finished watching the movie Starman. I thought it was pretty good. It was very sad and sweet. The only thing that bothered me about the movie was that it was slow at some parts and other parts were a little confusing. Not everything was really explained in the end which usually happens in most Sci-Fi movies like this. But I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Sci-Fi movies with only a little action.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you don't mind movies that are a little confusing, you don't mind movies that are a little slow sometimes, and you enjoy Sci-Fi films

This Is Spinal Tap

I watched This Is Spinal Tap for my second time last night. Even after seeing it twice I still think this movie is hilarious. Anyone who enjoys this kind of satire would really love this movie. One thing I really like about this movie is that although it is a silly, fake documentary, it's almost believable. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys this type of comedy.

You will (probably) only enjoy this movie if:

you don't mind movies that are a little silly, and you like movies that are fake documentaries

Kung Fu Panda

Today I went to see Kung Fu Panda in theaters. I didn't have very high expectations for the movie. But I ended up enjoying it a lot. Although the movie was made for a younger audience, I still found it to be pretty funny. Some parts were obviously pretty silly, but I think that anyone who enjoys animated films would really like Kung Fu Panda. 

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you enjoy animated movies, you don't mind movies that are predictable, you don't mind movies that are a little silly, and you don't mind watching movies that are mainly for kids

WALL·E

I just got back from seeing WALL·E in theaters. I've always enjoyed Pixar movies and this was no exception. The characters were very cute and the computer animation was fantastic (as always). The movie was very fun, entertaining, and sweet. I'd definitely recommend it to people of any age, not just children. In my opinion, WALL·E isn't the best Pixar movie I've seen, but it certainly is one of the best. Anyone looking for a sweet and funny movie should see WALL·E.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you enjoy Pixar movies, and you don't mind movies with little dialogue

The Fly (1958)

Last night I watched the original version of The Fly from 1958. Some parts were pretty funny, some were kind of creepy, and most of the movie was very weird. But overall, I thought it was extremely, fun and entertaining.  The entire plot of the movie was a bit silly, so if you're into more serious film you might not enjoy The Fly. But I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys these type of old weird horror films.

You will (probably) only enjoy this movie if:

you don't mind movies that are a little silly, and you don't mind Sci-Fi movies that deal with inventions/creations that could never be made in real life

Jaws

Last night I saw Jaws for my second time. The first time I watched this movie, I was very tired so I kind of fell asleep during some parts of the movie. I decided that it would be fun to watch again because I missed part of it last time and yesterday was the 4th of July. The movie was fantastic. I had forgotten how good it was and how great the music was too. It's definitely a frightening (but not too scary) adventure film that I would recommend to almost anyone.

You will (probably) only like this movie if:

you don't mind adventure/thriller movies that can be a little slow at times
