New ‘Super 8′ movie delivered lots of thrills,action,drama & more. Paramount Pictures released their new drama/horror flick “Super 8″ into theaters this weekend. I just checked it out,and I thought it was way better than I previously imagined it would be. I contained a lot more elements and backstory than the trailers gave away. It stars: Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Gabriel Basso, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee,and Zach Mills.

In the flick, a group of young kids go out late at night to shoot a movie at an old place that sat near the railroad tracks. After filming a couple of scenes,they tried to get one while the train drove by for better effects. Little did they know,something more was going down than just a train cruising through town.

A pick-up truck suddenly appears out of nowhere. It seemingly on purpose, drives head-on with the train in an attempt to derail it. It successfully does so,causing debris to fly everywhere and explosives from the train to go off. This event almost kills the kids a number of times as they quickly ran to escape the debris of the explosive train. Read the rest of this entry »

‘Diary Of A Wimpy Kid’ movie delivered good, funny entertainment. 20th Century Fox released its new comedy movie, “Diary Of Wimpy Kid” this weekend,and I must say that it was quite funny and entertaining. I already thought it was going to be funny,but it delivered a little more in my opinion. It stars: Zachary Gordon, Chloe Moretz, Steve Zahn, Rachael Harris, Robert Capron, Devon Bostick, and Grayson Russell.

“Diary Of A Wimpy Kid” revolved around character Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) who just started his middle school experience. When he arrives at school, he finds that he might not quite fit in the way he hoped. He hooks up with his friend Rowley Jefferson (Robert Capron) who doesn’t really know the ropes of fitting into middle school,and ends up embarrassing Greg a lot. Read the rest of this entry »

Alright, I just saw “Saw V” today and right off the bat which was no surprise to me it starts off with a grissly gruesome murder involving a huge swinging blade and cutting someone in half. This 5th installment of “Saw” explores deeper into Lieutenant Mark Hoffman’s(Costas Mandylor) involvement with John Jigsaw(Tobin Bell) and reveals that he actually helped out with most of the murders Jigsaw committed. He worked with Jigsaw because Read the rest of this entry »

“Max Payne” starts out with a brief interlude that reveals a later part in the movie where he’s drowning under water. After that it cuts back to the beginning of the film. I thought this was clever as it peaked my interest in the film even more. Ok, so Max Payne(Mark Wahlberg) is a detective who’s been hunting or working a case for three years which involves the murder of his wife and kid. The plot takes us to a night club where Max Payne meets up with Trevor(Andrew Friedman) an aquantance who he thinks is a step on the path to find his killer.

Ok, I just got back from the theater and guess what. I just saw “Eagle Eye” hence the name of this review. I must worn you be prepared to be extremely bored for about the first 20 minutes of this film because it does start off pretty slow as they try and build the story line and or plot together. In other words they don’t come bustin out of the gates with hardcore in your face action. I caught myself snoozing for the first 20 minutes. After that though it was all up hill with plenty of action as Read the rest of this entry »
