Despicable Me, the new animated from produced by Chris Melandandri, who also produced Ice Age: The Meltdown and Horton Hears A Who, is one of the summer’s stand out movies. Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Miranda Cosgrove, and Russell Brand are perfect actors to lead this at times hilarious, at times tear jerking animated tale. Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Danny R. McBride, Julie Andrews and Jermain Clement make for a worthy supporting cast.

Gru (voiced by Carell) is a evil genius who only wants to win the affection of his cold-hearted mother (voiced by Andrews), something he has NEVER had. His only friends are Dr. Nefario, a aging scientist (voiced by Brand), and his army of minions (voiced by directors Peiere Coffin and Chris Reneud, and Jermain Clement), Twinky like creatures with both one and two eyes, it varies.

When a mysterious newcomer named Vector (voiced by Segal) steals the Great Pyrimid of Giza, Gru decides to pull off the greatest heist EVER: stealing the moon! Then, three orphan girls, Margo (voiced by Cosgrove), Edith, and Agnes (both voiced by newcomers who names I don’t know.) The three of them don’t hit it off with Gru instantly, but they see him as the first real parent they’ve ever had. Gru slowly begins to warm up to the girls, and they’re interactions make for some truly heartfelt, and also hilarious moments. Case in point:

Edith: Are these beds old bombs? Gru: Yes. But, they are very old and highly unlikely to blow up. Try not to toss and turn.

Despicable Me pulls off something almost unheard of: a film that is enjoyable for both parents and children that does NOT involve humor centered around bodily functions, or violence.

Final grade: A Plus infinite number of times!

If you are looking for total realism stand at a bus stop for two hours. It’s free. Seriously, I remember one of some well known critic’s favorite films was of watching someone paint a painting for three hours. If you are looking for a film that is more James Bond than James Bond with a little Bourne thrown in then see Salt. But you will have to wait and see how this film turns out and who the real heroes are. The film is nothing like Shutter Island or Inception which were good but were psychological and mind bending films and are not thrillers. It is certainly nothing like Toy Story either which is a kid’s film. There is no point to try and compare it to films that are not in the same genre. This is not a film for people preoccupied with gender, age, always trying to make a new concept or other things. It is a film full of imagination and excitement. It is great to see a film directed with no CGI. It is just done better, more interesting and was a surprise. Also, It is also interesting that a major Russian spy ring was broken up in the US this last month.

Jolie starts slowly and picks up speed like a railroad train. She is the best actress, hands down, of the era with films like this, Changeling, Mighty Heart and Beyond Borders. Jolie could get nominated for this film. She is completely versatile and pulls viewers with imagination into her films perhaps the best in Hollywood history over her career. Amazingly there is a major physical appearance change she makes in the film that I believe even her physical appearance at the Hollywood premiere was supposed to be slightly deceptive and made the movie physical change even more interesting. There was a point where I noticed early in the film that Jolie’s face seemed so much slimmer than usual and not her usual self. After a scene regarding teeth, you will be surprised at a physical appearance change, . Then there was even another change later in the film. The film rocks and rolls and is quite the opposite of the image of mindless American girls on their cell phones 24/7 who have no individuality. In reality, this is an inspiring action packed performance. There is so much depth to her character, intensity, mystery, and excitement. It is written that way but only Jolie can bring it to life.

A subtle look from Jolie can mean so much. I believe it is Jolie’s intelligence, knowledge of world affairs, and experience in foreign countries and war zones in real life that allows her to be so much more intense and interesting than most actors.

Great action thriller. The director did not feel the need to try and be falsely realistic by forcing lots of awkward swearing, pointless disturbing images or other phony realism that many modern films put in. This is not an art film, it is an action film, and an excellent one. Don’t know if there will actually be a sequel. It had an exciting ending and could have kept going. It certainly could have a good sequel. I expected a lot going in and it was great. There is also a fine supporting cast. It is worth seeing on a full screen. I am not going to give away any twists and turns for those who have not seen this excellent movie. Man, it was like being there.

If you have watched movies like Bounty Hunter and you like the style of that movie, you would know that The Switch would be your favorite as well. This movie would not target people who are interested in watching many exciting movies. You would not see gigantic scenes like those you would watch in the Transformer. And you would not be able to cry crazily just like you watch Click.

The Switch was originally entitled as The Baster and it is a kind of romantic comedy. Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman are starring in this film and this movie is directed by Josh Gorden as well as Will Speck. This is actually a story called “Baster” written by Jeffery Eugenides.

In this movie, Jennifer Aniston is starring Kassie Singleton while Jason Bateman would be her best friend Wally. Kassie originally planned to have a baby on her own so she tried to find a sperm donor so that she could be pregnant. But Wally was actually a guy who loves her and he was not happy with Kassie’s decision.

Wally knew that Kassie has treated him as her friend and he could hardly win the love from Kassie. Therefore, he could do nothing to stop Kassie from being this kind of single parent.

But when Kassie was holding the ‘insemination party’, Wally was drunk and he accidentally threw away the sperm from the donor. He then tried to use his own sperm to replace it. Seven years later, Kassie returned with her boy and Wally had to stay with Kassie and take care of the little boy together. The truth was revealed and these two adults faced challenges in their relationship. On the other hand, they had to deal with problems regarding the kid.

For people who are interested in watching a movie which would not have a sad ending, this movie would be suitable for them. Of course, I would not tell the ending here or otherwise you may lose your interest in watching this movie. But the fact is that this movie is not a very serious production and you should never set a high standard towards the quality of this movie.

This is just a movie for you to have laughers and you want to get rid of some sad feelings. If you hate spending money to watch a comedy, you should never watch this movie because you would surely be angry after watching it.

As mentioned above, the standard for judging this movie should not be high. Jennifer is doing her right job and Jason as well. They could create interesting moments and conversation between them is interesting. And after acting in several comedies, Jennifer has shown that she is great in creating a relaxing atmosphere in movies and she is good at starring in comedy. It is hoped that she could perform better in the foreseeable future if she is going to star in these movies again. Anyway, The Switch may be your cup of tea if you love to watch a movie with happy ending and you want to laugh.

Films about dreams and the subconscious are usually not very straightforward and almost always weird. “Inception” is no exception to that rule, but like its cinematic predecessors who have explored the contrast between and the questions of what is real and what is illusion (i.e. “The Matrix” (1999), “The Cell” (2000), “Abre Los Ojos” (1997) & its American remake “Vanilla Sky” (2001)), you really can’t look away, nor should you.

“Inception” is an excellent and breathtaking movie that may be one of the only films released so far during the Summer of 2010 that lives up to its hype. It is a nearly perfect and highly original film that holds your attention until the credits roll. The less you know about this movie going in, the more you will be entranced by seeing it.

Leonardo DiCaprio plays Dom Cobb, a world class criminal who, with the help of a team of sleep experts, works his way into people’s subconscious and steals what people value most: ideas directly from their minds. In his last assignment to possibly clear his name, he is assigned not to steal an idea from someone, but to plant one inside that person’s mind. The difficulty comes when certain people are trained to block their ideas from being taken.

That plot summary only covers the basics of this pretty complicated story, but to describe every plot detail would take away the magic of this film you must see yourself to believe. DiCaprio is good in his role, but unlike many other films he has starred in, this is perhaps his only role where his character alone does not carry the weight of the movie on his shoulders or share it equally with one other co-star. Instead, this great ensemble cast teams together to make this movie work, just as their characters collaborate to pull off such a unique heist. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, and Tom Hardy are especially good in their roles.

The special effects in this film were also very good, which is amazing considering their simplicity compared to the “Matrix” movies. There are slow-motion shots, but no impossible kung fu fighting sequences. It’s especially interesting when the film gets into the architecture of certain dreams, and impossible sequences are filmed in a way I’ve never seen other than in drawings.

However, the special effects would mean nothing if the story wasn’t good. For this reason, even something as simple as a spinning top holds your attention in a way you would never think it would when seeing it in this film. The credit here can be given to writer and director Christopher Nolan, who has not made a bad film yet. There are many twists and turns in this film, but Nolan never loses his focus in the process of telling the story. If Nolan does not get nominated for Best Director and/or Best Original Screenplay next Oscar season, there is something terribly wrong with the Academy.

That being said, there was still a lot about this film I still don’t get, and may require multiple viewings to better understand. However, some of the best films I’ve seen are confusing at first. “2001: A Space Odyssey” (1968) is a film I’ve seen a couple of times, and still don’t understand completely. It still has a major following, though, as I’m positive this movie will. It’s an incredibly entertaining movie, but it also makes you think and continues to do so after you leave the theater.

Centurion (2010) – To Fight And Win

For people who love to watch movies like Warrior 300, Centurion may be their favorite. Again, this movie features something back to ancient time while guns were not advanced. People had to fight with their own weapons and it is a movie which could attract ladies because there are strong men fighting without clothes.

Centurion is a movie from Britain and the director of this movie is Neil Marshall. The ill-fated Ninth Legion in this movie was trying to march to Caledonia to remove the Picts and their leader. But things were not going in a smooth way. Picts launched a sudden attach and nearly all people died in this attack. As a result, the survivors would need to try their best to complete the mission and save their own life as well.

Yes, this kind of movie would be bloody and if you do not want to see a lot of bloody scenes, you should never go to watch this movie or otherwise you may fate. And this movie is not bad indeed. The special effects of war scenes look real and there are plenty of shocking scenes during the fights. And performance of the cast was good. When survivors found that they were the left ones in this world, they could show the depression and they could also show their determination to survive and take revenge.

In order to portray the sad feeling of those characters, director tried to use different ways to run the camera. And this had given audiences a full view to know more about how those characters feel and how sad they were.

Of course, this movie would not just focus on killing and fighting. There would be explanation to background of attacks and you would know why the Picts could destroy their enemies in a short period of time.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, the atmosphere of this movie is similar to that of Warrior 300, and so if you love that movie you would probably love this one. If you hated that movie you may not like this one as well. And if you did not watch Warrior, you could consider watching this one and see if you really like this type of movie.

And you would also love to watch this movie if you are interested in watching historical movies. Despite the fact that this movie is not talking about the real history, you could still know more about life of people centuries ago.

To conclude, Centurion is a worth watching movie if you do not mind watching bloody scenes. And for people who would like to look at the life of ancient warriors, this would be a good film. You could hardly see people fighting with bare hands nowadays but in that period of time, fighting with bare hand was normal and you could know the differences between army today and ancient fighters. You would easily find that those fighters are admirable because they were strong and they had the bravery.

Piranha 3D is a horror movie which is a second remake of Piranha, which was first produced in 1978. Piranha 3D is directed by Alexandre Aja. There are also many people working in the studio to produce exciting visual effect. With hard work of these people, many people would regard this movie as a very worth watching movie.

In order to make this movie more exciting than the previous movies of Piranha, director has spent time and effort to improve quality of movies. There were a lot of improvements made in this movie and plot was amended in order to make audience love this movie. As you may know, there are plenty of people who have watched Piranha series, either in movie form or in drama series. Therefore, people would have a higher and higher expectation for quality of movies in this topic.

Luckily, most of people watching this movie have given a positive comment on the quality of it. They reflected that they love watching this movie because the idea was new. For instance, Jessica Szohr as well as Kelly Brook would be starring in this movie and these hot girls would increase the incentive for people to watch this movie.

In this film, they would be bikini ladies and they would experience a lot of horrible moments during the attack from Piranha. For people who are interested in watching performance of them, this 3-D movie would be great for them to have a close look on them.

According to people who have watched previous Piranha movies, this movie is almost brand new and they would not realize that this is actually a remake. Improvements were made and this helped the movie to win support from many fans of horror movies. You would be able to scream crazily in this movie.

If you think that you would not scream easily when you watch horror movies, you could also watch Piranha 3D and you may break your habit and scream with the others together. No one would think that this movie is not scary and this is the reason why supporter of horror movies all think that this is a good movie.

For people who are not used to watch horrible movies, Piranha 3D would not be a suitable choice for them. It is because 3D visual effect from this movie makes this movie like a real experience of those characters and you would easily think that you are one of the main characters as well. Therefore, you are advised to think twice before you watch this movie if you are not used to watch horror movies. Otherwise, you may cry easily and run away from the cinema.

To conclude, Piranha 3D is a worth watching movie if you are interested in horror movies. Some people even say that they would not be willing to go to seaside anymore after they watch this movie. No doubt, these people may only be exceptional cases. But the fact is that you would be regret if you do not watch this movie.

Many people believe that laughter is best medicine, so sometimes you are just required to get rid of your tension and watch a comedy movie that get some laughter on your face.

While you can always go and select some of the best comedy movies from the earlier century, the article below concentrates on review on best comedy movies of 21^st Century.

The below list has some of the best comedy movies of the century.

1.Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy: This can be easily considered as one of the best comedy movie. This was release in 2004. The movie had stars Christian Applegate and Will Ferrell both as anchor of a TV show in San Diego bay. This film takes a humorous and sarcastic view of the 70’s society. In my review on best comedy movies I would rate this movie at 7 on a scale of one to ten.

2.Dodgeball – A true Underdog Story: Again this movie was released in 2004. This movie had stars Ben Stiller, Rip Torn, Christine Taylor, Vince Vaughn, etc. This is a simply tale of a small gym owner who decides to compete in a dodge ball tournament with the help of his friends primarily to earn money to save his gym from rivals. This hilarious movie tried to prove a point that even underdogs can succeed. In my review on best comedy movies I would rate this movie at 8 on a scale of one to ten.

3.The Hangover: This movie was one of the major hits of the year 2009. This movie had stars Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper. This was the story of the 3 friends or actually groomsmen who by mistake lose the groom just a day prior to the marriage. This happens to them after wild partying a night ago. The movie is all about how they find the groom back. This movie was a success both from art point of view and commercial point of view.

4.Wedding Crashers: This movie was released back in 2005. This movie had stars Vince Vaughn and Over Wilson. The two actors played the character of divorce mediators. These guys deliberately crash wedding so that they can pick up on women. How this habits of their get them in trouble and how they force their way out of it, is the entire story. The movie was a commercial success and received a lot of awards. In my review on best comedy movies I would rate this movie at 8 on a scale of one to ten.

So what are you waiting for in the end, go to the nearest DVD rental store and pick up your own collection of comedy movies.

Action movies are most popular categories for Hollywood studios. Though, such movies are expensive to make but if made well they do guarantee a lot of money at box office. So, what I am fascinated by is that what does reviews of best action movies have common in them i.e. what is similar in good action movies that result in them making a lot of money? Let’s discuss!!

As the category “action movies” suggest, best action movies are the ones which have the good element of action in it. However, this does not mean that you make some funky car chase scenes or use helicopter to rescue the heroine or gun battles between gangs. Audiences nowadays are much m ore choosier than that.

The category of best action movies is not new, reviews of actions movies suggest that these movies were in demand since 70’s and audiences have pretty much seen everything in the old action movies that we have just mentioned above. What audience wants in a best action movie is something new, or at least a new concept or idea that takes the action to next level and sets even higher standards for action movies to come. In a summary, action in action movies has to be so well integrated and thought of that it glues audiences to their seat.
However, another factor that is common in reviews of best action movies is that all the good movies have a strong character of hero. Audiences want to see a hero, with whom they can connect, looking at whom they can feel like they want to become like that hero or if not want to at least think of becoming like that hero. The character of the hero in almost all the best action movies has the right mix of guts, sensibility and courage.
So, you have a good action and a good character for the hero, but you may still not be able to make the best action movies, WHY? Well, best action movies also require a strong character of villain if not stronger than the hero it should not be less also. In some action movies villains are considered to be more important than the hero himself. In action movies, the best character of the villains is the one which is portrayed as the ordinary people who have some problems. Villains are not just any robot who just wants to destroy this universe.

Although you may find a lot many other things common in terms of reviews of best action movies, I believe that the above mentioned three are of utmost important. So next time when you go out and watch your favorite action movie try and think about these points we invariably rate movies based on the points mentioned above. Also, do not worry if you have missed some of the greatest all time best action movies go to your nearest DVD rental store take a membership and just start watching these movies.

Well I do not need to tell what horror movies are to all of you, everybody among has some kind of list of best horror movies or we have gone through some article on best reviews on best horror movies. Almost all people enjoy a decent horror movie, these movies unsettle us, bring our deepest fears outside, make us look at the goriest of parts that we keep ignoring, they frighten us. But, despite all these, we still go through the entire movie, listen to the sound, special effects, screams, and as the music level intensifies get a feeling that something is about to give up.

Well, this article is not about some review on best horror movies. In fact this article talks about reviews on best horror movie types. You may think that what do I mean by best horror movies types; for that my dear friend just read the article below:

Asian Horror Movies

This kind of horror movies are more psychological in nature and are very much tensed. The stories and scenes of such movies are very much intense, and are written quite beautifully. Horror movies in Asian region are quite a big thing; they have a big market for such movies in the region. The horror movies that are made over there mostly concentrate on their own possession, shamanism, precognition, or folk religion. Some of the best horror movies in this category include: Tale of 2 sisters, Audition, The Ring, etc. In terms of my rating for reviews on best horror movies for this category, I will give an eight out of ten for this category.

Comedy Horror Movies

This type of movies are quite popular nowadays, these movies give you a mixed bag of emotions and laughter. You might be scared one time while you might be laughing out loud the other time. These movies are also popular because of their light hearted nature; as such these movies do not increase in tempo or are scary as some of the other movies. Some examples of this category of movies include: Scary Movie series and Shaun of the Dead. In terms of my rating for reviews on best horror movies for this category, I will give an nine out of ten for this category.

Supernatural Horror Movies

These kinds of movies involve use of super natural creatures like Zombies, Demons, Deformed Humans, Werewolves, etc. These horror movies can be described as the scariest movies; however, these are quite often very poorly made. These types of movies do not have any real story or subject behind them, but they concentrate more on special effects and sounds to capture audience attraction. Some of the examples of such movies include: The Exorcist, American Werewolves, Dawn of the Dead, etc. In terms of my rating for reviews on best horror movies for this category, I will give an six out of ten for this category.

So, what are you waiting for, decide your category and bring home some of the best horror movies.

Director: Jason Friedberg Aaron Seltzer
Stars: Jenn Proske, Matt Lanter, Diedrich Bader (Full Cast)
Studio: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

The Plot: A spoof of vampire-themed movies, where teenager Becca finds herself torn between two boys. As she and her friends wrestle with a number of different dramas, everything comes to a head at their prom.

THE BUZZ: I feel like if you’re the type of person who eye-rolls every time you hear the names Bella or Edward, but you wind up shelling out for a spoof comedy from Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer — who share the honor of having three movies in the IMDb Bottom 100 — then the joke is really on you?

Review: Lets be honest..almost every movie-fan that’s watched epic cinematic failures like Meet the Spartans , Epic Movie etc are going to think Vampires Suck should be avoided at all costs.

They couldn’t be more wrong.

YES there are a few gross-out moments in this and YES the inescapable potty- humor moment here and there, but other than that this movie is completely hilarious. I couldn’t help but find myself laughing every 10 minutes and thats a pretty good track record for a modern day movie spoof. I’m not a Twilight fan..and if you’re not either, chances are..you will enjoy this movie. It’s light-hearted, doesn’t attempt to be more than it is and entertains.

The funniest thing about it is that the actors playing in it almost do a better job playing Edward, Bella and Jacob than the original cast do. The movie doesn’t suffer from attempts at poking fun of 10-15 different movies at once and maybe thats why it works this once.

They just focus on just making fun of two movies in the Twilight series and I think they did a pretty damn good job of it. I hate to say..I really do..but I might just go see this movie a second time. It’s honest to god that funny.
