The Terminator: 8/10

The Terminator is about a machine teleported to Earth with a mission to kill John Connor. Because of its age the special effects weren’t amazing. However, back in the day, they would have been like today’s Transformers or Marvel films. This is Arnold’s most famous role he plays in any movie and he does a pretty good job acting as an emotionless robot. 

Slumdog Millionaire: 7/10

Slumdog Millionaire was a good movie but not great. This movie got a lot of hype ad when I saw it I was happy I did but it wasn’t anything like it was hyped up to be. The boy does a great job acting in this movie considering how young he is. The movie is cool because it flashes back between the past and the present. However, I didn’t find the plot to be anything special. 

Monsters Inc: 9/10

Monsters Inc. is my favorite animated movie ever made. The cinematic value of the movie is unreal for an animated film. Mike Wazoski’s voice was chosen perfectly with John Goodman. In fact, they all are. The plot is also one of the best around. It’s clever, funny, and entertaining; all of the best aspects of a film in one. 

No Country for Old Men: 9/10

No Country for Old Men is about a man who gets caught up with the wrong people in a drug deal and ends up having a serial killer chasing him. This is one of my favorite movies. The acting in it is some of the best around and the serial killer is probably my third favorite villain in any movie. 

The Hangover: 6/10

The Hangover is about a group of four guys who have a bachelor party, but end up waking up not remembering a single thing from the night before. Cinematically the movie is not the best but it is quite funny. I enjoyed the first Hangover but the second was a disaster. I would not recommend it.

Warrior: 7/10

Warrior follows two brothers who are both involved in fighting. They have a broken family life and they end up fighting each other in the UFC Championship. The plot is great and the acting is also exceptional starring Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte. However, the filming seems to struggle and I did not like as much as it was hyped up to be.

Reservoir Dogs: 8/10


Reservoir Dogs follows a group of men who attempt to rob a jewelry store. The plan fails miserably and the surviving members of the clan re-group and must figure out the rat of the group. This is one of the most intense movies ever made and gives the viewer so much emotion. The members begin to turn on each other and it leaves the viewer to discover the mystery on their own.
