Prime

I didnt like the ending. It may have a subtle message but for me, it was twisted and lame. The movie had some humorous moments but the ending really spoiled it for me. 1/5 rating.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

This is amazing for a true story. The movie is not really that scary in the sense that the newer supposedly horror stories were but it was scary because it was true. It is a good story of how evil lurks today and that knowing that, you are presented with a choice on whether to sit still or change. 5/5 for me.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

All i want to say is that i want to get a hold of a Director's cut version of this movie. I guess the book is really too long to put in one movie. I wish they just made 2 movies of this book instead of cramming it all in just one. It was ok but they didnt show all the attempts of the other champions. They deleted some of the minor players of the story like the 2 house elves. The fight with the dragon is not what was in the book. It felt that a lot of things was abbreviated. I read the book so things were a little clear. My companion has not read the book and was lost in a lot of places. It was disappointing. I would rate it 2/5.

Flightplan

I had some apprehensions about watching this movie. The trailer seemed disappointing but i was mistaken. It was actually a really cool thriller. Up till the last minute, i didnt know what to believe. It is really worth watching. 5/5 for me.

Domino

This movie is actually more entertaining than what its trailer conveys. A supposedly true story of a female bounty hunter. It was action packed with a bit of nudity. It was a story of teenage angst and turmoil leads to a semi-controlled, destructive, thrill-seeking job dealing with the scum of LA. It was cool. The cinematography sucks a bit since it nearly made me dizzy at the start. The cinematographer was probably catering to the MTV crowd thinking that they had millisecond attention spans. Anyway, i say it is a 4/5 movie. Watch it after Four Brothers.

Waiting

Talk about a low budget movie. It seemed more of a sit com than a movie. There were only 2 locations, a restaurant and an apartment. Nothing fancy. Just a plain old resto and a plain old apartment. The story revolved around the people who worked in the restaurant. I dont really have anything else to say about it. Entertaining enough to get a 2/5 rating from me.

Four Brothers

This is a nice action movie with fistfights and gun play, lots of it. The story revolves around the death of an old lady who raised 4 adopted boys who couldnt get adopted anymore because of attitude problems. It is a little more of an exagerration of what would happen if you put too much testosterone in one place. It was a nice movie though. I would rate it 4/5.
