Race To Witch Mountain

I can start this by saying, boy am I glad I was paid to see this one. It is not a good movie. I got the privilege of staying up at 2 am to screen this movie before it opened today, March 13, and I must say Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson did not do justice in this disney family movie.
From the story to the acting you can expect nothing but mediocrity. I have seen more entertaining documentaries in my days. It is totally up to you though to see it or not, but I don't recommend this one.

Watchmen

Getting to the IMAX theater at 1130 pm, seeing all the costumed fans waiting to be let in to the movie, getting your ticket (which a friend bought you) and then sitting in a sold out theater to a highly anticipated movie makes for quite the exciting evening. However, most of the people can just get old and annoying and drive you nuts. Well, the movie however is what I'm writing about not the people.
Watchmen starts with a very unique and awesome death of one of the masked heroes, The Comedian. It sucks you in and from the get go you don't care that you are watching a three hour long movie. Well with the amount of blue weiner I had to see flopping about the screen, I think I will let this pass me a second time. It was a good movie with good cinematography and good action sequences, but it really lived down the hype to me. It almost felt as if I were watching a border-line gay porno....(eww) but I wasn't.
The movie was also a lot more gory then I expected it to be... for example, a guy gets both his arms sawed off with a power saw (very graphic) and another man is hacked on the top of the head with a meat cleaver multiple times (very graphic) but those parts were really entertaining.
The actors/actresses gave very good performances, and it wasn't a dissapointing movie, just not spectacular.
I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Great Horror Flick - The Descent

Well, this is a blog mainly for movies I see in the theater, but last night I watched a movie that will be great for horror fans. The Descent was made about five or six years ago I think and for any of you who have not seen it it is a great work of horror excellence.
It starts off right at the beginning with a bang and gets you glued in and interested in what's going on. Six girls, a year after a tragic event, decide to rekindle their adventurous sides and go for a cave exploring expedition near the Appalachian Mountains.
The movie builds up the great bond these women have and you really get to like them, and feel sorry for when tragic events are brought up. They seem to be great friends and you just like them so much.
When they get to the cave this is where the movie starts to get intense, and it is intense in what I would say.... parts.
The first part; hundreds of feet under the earths surface in pitch darkness.
The second part; clostrophobia anyone... there are so many parts in this movie that are surrounded in tight spaces the women crawl through I found myself short of breath watching the movie.
The third part; a rockfall traps the women in the cave..... there's you a recipe for disaster.
The fourth part; Letting fear get the best of you.
The fifth part; They're not alone down there
The sixth part; The last 45 minutes of this movie are so intense I literally couldn't breathe when the movie ended. Surprisingly good movie, with a surprisingly good ending!

See The Descent if you like horror films.... It's a good one!

Intro. to Dillys Movie Reviews

Hello hello hello! As you know I have been promising to start this and now it is happening. I am a very enthusiastic individual when it comes to movies. I watch them for free and I thought, why not share my experiences and thoughts on these movies with other people. Ta Da! I am. I hope people can enjoy reading this and know that I am not trying to persuade people to view or not view a movie that comes out... If you wanna see a movie let me first say to not let anyone elses opinion sway your decision all that much.

I sure don't and sometimes I'm wishing I did, but I am the one who got the experience.
