Cameron Diaz does her usual laugh and smile and Tom Cruise does his crazy impossible action. It feels like Mission 3, well worth the money even though Miss diaz just smiles alot. My rating 8 of 10. Plus I have heard reports that the last air bender sucks.

I'm usually apprehensive towards watching Denzel Washington's movies he plays the same role over and over again. I bet you could cut 10 of his movies together into one movie and you would not beable to tell the difference. But I watched this one anyway because it was either this or Legion. You are probably wondering why he is doing a movie in which he kills people with a machete but by 20 minutes into the movie you will see why. Better titled: The revenge of the Librarian.
The movie starts out with the usual guy in the desert. He soon finds a place to hold up for the night, fresh pussy on the fire, and pulls out his ipod and start jamming to some Marvin Gaye. I can never understand how the barren wastelands he finds the time to charge his ipod and keep his designer sun glasses clean.
Maybe its a bias I have to wards these kinda movies but I can never understand how people can't find water to drink but they never run out of bullets for their guns. Their always seem to be a infinite supply of bullets and cigars. I can never understand.
Little things aside, Denzel is traveling west and kicks some ass along the way, a couple heart pounding actions scenes and quotes from the "Book". The movie is good all the way up until the end where the "twist" happens and left me with a "wtf" look on my face. Not a bad movie, kinda illogical but well written, 7 out of 10. Watch it when it comes out on cable.

The movie is about a young Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In my mind the Sherlock Holmes as a character is usually a old man walking around with a pipe. This movie reminds me the movie National Treasure with Nickolas cage. Things are ALWAYS happening, mysteries are being solved at a rate which seems TOTALLY UNREAL. Most of the time I can barely understand the constant of mumbling of lead actor. A typical pointless American mystery/suspense movie. Blah, blah, blah.
Sherlock Holmes the movie is a typical pointless suspense movie, with the typical villain who is omni-present and ends up fighting on a tower or something similar, only to then "accidentally" die at the end. Blah, blah, blah.
I give it 5 out of 10. Average. Watch when it comes out on cable. Lots of talking and slow motion effects. A movie that was written backwards. It has a dog. Rachel McAdams.
Gods Child commented: you can not be serious. this movie was absolutely clever, funny, fun, surprising, and not to mention, clever. Watch it again and see if you disagree. ... read 3 more

It was good. Aside from the 1/2 hour of cellphone ads that I had to sit through before it started. What is wrong with these cellphone ads nowadays? Doesn't every body have a cellphone already? Cow on bicycle! Have they nothing better to do? What about showing some movie trailers? Remember those?
Anyway, avatar is a kinda mish-mash of simpler better movies. The 3d effects are good at points and the CGI is next to perfect. I give it a 8 out of 10. If you have never seen a 3d movie before this is the one to see. If you like trees, Beyond Good and Evil or weird alien plants then this movie will be worth your money. Perfect CGI and some robot action is in there too.

I can't remember the last time I watched a movie that was more annoying than a years worth of Days Of Lives. the movie is emo-heaven, at one point I thought everybody in the movie would at some point or the other commit suicide.
Most of the movie is spent staring in the eyes of the lead actress while shes somewhere in the bush, bush is everywhere. I could recall the blemishes on her face by the end of the movie. I can appreciated a good ballad but this movie took Romeo and Juliet it to epic proportions of boredom. The entire movie is a bit off.
Nothing happens in this movie, I mean NOTHING. It seems to be a smash hit the Harry Potter Crowd for everybody else avoid this movie at all costs! Nobody Dies, Shirt Shortage, Bright eyes, sleep deprivation, emo-people, My rating 4 out of 10.
Gods Child commented: shirt shortage! Ha! --that made me chuckle I would not have thought of seeing it in the first place ... read 12 more
