I just have to begin by saying that I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I have always liked fantasy/sci-fi films, but I have to admit that many of them are just poorly made. Avatar, however, is so well thought and so perfectly constructed that you just have to stick to your chair and let the beautiful images on the screen marvel you to limits I have not experienced maybe since the Lord of the Rings. I think the movie is very creative in its extraterrestrial world concept, the characters are very lovable, the make up and special effects are just great and it has enough action and drama to keep everyone interested. Very recommendable.

The hangover
I usually hate this kind of comedy, where everything that happens is so absurd, you have to wonder how the writers though they could pull it off. However, I think that this film did succeed at being absurdly funny. The characters are very charming, and you can't help but relate to their situation. I had fun.
Beyond a reasonable doubt
This movie really felt like a B-movie from start to "how long you can get watching it"... It really feels like a stiff, low budget, bad acted, horribly scripted movie. Do not waste any time with this.

This movie is not a common sci-fi film. It is not full of special effects, or weird extraterrestrial beings or tons of complicated universes and twisted plots. On the contrary, for most this movie can be a very dull and boring sci-fi movie, because it has just one character, almost no-action and no-special effects. The reason I liked it is because the great performance of Sam Rockwell. I also think the atmosphere of loneliness and desperation were really well accomplished. I enjoyed this movie and I recommend it to those who like character movies.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
I have heard that most guys find Kristen Stewart really hot. However, I would like to see in the role of Bella a maybe less attractive actress but a more skillful one. Really, sometimes the reason to go to see a movie lays beyond watching someone pretty on the big screen. In my case, I really liked the books, but watching the movies has been a real nightmare. The actors might be hot, but they have not clue how to act and the movies feel completely fake.

For a very "cry your eyes out" movie, this film felt very disconnected and cold to me. I hope the book really delivers the appropriate feelings for such a drama, the movie does not.

G.I. Joe: The rise of Cobra
There are so many bad things going on with this movie. But my main 2 questions are: How could all these actors agree to be in this nonsensical movie and how could they make it go for so long? I mean, none of it made any sense, the acting was bad, the plot was bad, the lines were to feel sorry for...what a bunch of crap.
Is anybody there?
I rented this movie because I really admired Michael Caine's work. Even though his performance was not disappointing, the overall movie was. The plot has been very exploited and this movie added nothing more to it except Caine's good acting. It was a predictable and forgettable movie.
