Catch Me If You Can: 8.5/10

Catch Me If You Can is about a young con man and a tenacious officer who has dedicated his life to the arrest of him. Leo and Tom Hanks do great together as opposing forces. The plot of the movie is splendid because it is difficult to form a bias for either side. In the end you begin to cheer for the con man because of his family situation.

Flight: 6/10

Flight is about a drunk pilot who safely crashes a plane while intoxicated. Denzel Washington does a great job as normal but they plot gets extremely boring at some points. The film gets too focused on the politics of the crash other than the pilot’s personal journey. Without Denzel, the film would be total garbage.

Lord of War: 8/10

Lord of War is about an underground arms dealer who gets caught up with the wrong people. This is my favorite Nicholas Cage movie by far. He does a great job as both a good and bad character because he keeps the viewer guessing about whether or not he’s good. The action and special effects are also great.

The Dark Knight Rises: 8.5/10

The Dark Knight Rises is the last movie in the Batman series about the villain Bane. Bane is played by Tom Hardy who does an exceptional job as the villain. The cast is great and the plot is one of the best. Bane makes the movie what it is and without him it would not be as good as it is.

The Book of Eli: 8.5/10

The Book of Eli follows a blind man in times of chaos who is in possession of the last Bible intact. He faces many different troubles along his journey. The world that is generated in the movie makes it very interesting and ending where it is made clear about his blindness makes it that much better. 

The Departed: 9/10

The Departed is about a group of men involved in crime. Little do they know a rat is reporting everything they do. This movie has the best cast of any film ever made and the acting is unbeatable. The plot is also great and keeps the viewer on the edge of his seat at all times.

The Shining: 8/10

The Shining is about a man who goes crazy taking care of a hotel with his family. Jack Nicholson does an absolutely amazing job acting as a crazy man in this movie. The plot can be a little slow at times and I’m not a huge fan of horror-like movies but this film was an exceptional film.
