Now I am not one whom is for an entire movie being based on one situation in one place. But this movie made that non-issue due to the way the scenes were shot, and the script was written. This movie really did have it all except comedy, which wasnt a big issue with me as the comedy movies of late have for a lack of a better term, sucked balls.

The script was very well written, and the journey the director takes you [Martin Scorsese], is one that you truly will never forget. Never mind your ass being numb for the length of the movie, you will be confused enough to believe you belong in a mental hospital and start questioning those whom went to the movies with you.

Not many movies out there that left me actually thinking about the scenarios and how they could apply themselves to everyday life. This movie was one of those exceptionally well told movies, that if you truly pay attention, it consumes you and you feel as if your in the asylum watching someones documentary. It truly was creepy the way you became involved with the characters, the development of each and the explanations of them all.

The only character never fully described is the Warden of the asylum. [Yes this asylum was much like a prison, a Warden and a staff with weapons, and electrified fencing. Also only one way on or off the island.] Other than that you figure everyone out by the situations and their actions.

I say watch this movie if you like crime / mystery / thriller / drama, definitely check it out. Very solid movie.

I was curious about this one. I read the book once when I was 4, and just thought the kid was crazy. lol Never bothered to pick it up again and give it a look, even when we sold the book at Target when I used to work there. Difference between the book and the movie, the movie's characters personalities are very defined, so much so it makes you feel like your being pulled in.

You see a kid whom tries to fit it, but fails, be a loner and always stay to himself. Which is definitely not out of the ordinary to this world, but what makes this kid different is that he runs away from home, gets on a boat, and ends up on an island with "Wild Things" inhabiting it. He develops a relationship with them, giving them a purpose and trying to bring them a smile in an upside down world of theirs.

I wont go too in detail for the movie as to not ruin it for those whom have not watched it, but I will say that this movie touches base on many things still prevalent to this day in our everyday lives. Joy, happiness, sadness, loneliness, depression, anger, rage, frustration and honesty all exist in the world the Wild Things live in. That is where this movie shines the most. Jim Henson's creature shop developed the body suits for the Wild Things for this movie and they did an incredible job in doing so.

The movie makes you feel crazy, it makes you confused, but once you understand it, it definitely makes for a childlike representation of what life was like or could still be like to those whom never grew up. And that was what I got from this movie, at the end he decided to grow up and face the way he had acted and the things he had done.

First and foremost I would like to say that I am not a fan of Halo in general. Never got into the story, never could play the game fully. Now onto the review...

I am an anime fan period. I love its stories, I love its animation, I love the music, I love the entertainment value it presents. Halo Legends tried to capitalize on all of these things by bringing in top anime studios to take a spin at whichever section they were paid to do.

Unfortunately, the first two episodes were 100% boring, with just one voice talking and some sub par animation to accompany it. On the episode "The Duel" the action picked up with a raptor looking guy's wife was killed in order for him to duel another clan leader to gain power. The animation was different, action was definitely there but the animation was that of an early saturday morning cartoon.

The animation started picking up, and the stories started becoming less vocal and more anime like, which is definitely a good thing, especially after the half hour or so of boredom. Problem being is that it was too late for me, even though it started clamoring for attention, I just couldnt give into it. I wanted to love it, as anime is a passion, but I was too bored and succumbed to falling asleep.

All in all, I will say once the animation picked up, it was worth the watch. The action was there, the stories were there as only the Japanese can do so and do so well.

Well what can I say from a movie that was produced by those that brought you the Saw series.. After Saw 2, the movies were declining with shitty scripts, terribad acting, and over glorified death scenes.. This is no different, except that the death scenes were obvious, the story was stupid and left you wondering who, why, what and how the situations ended up panning out.

I definitely did not care about this movie at all, didnt want to watch it either but gave it a watch to review it.. I wouldnt recommend this movie to be watched, but then again fans of the Saw series would state otherwise and lie to themselves by saying this was a mind fuck of a movie and how awesome the kills were. Please. -_-

He always takes one, implies that the guy with the mask always takes one person from his killing spree and kills the ones he doesnt want. 2 + 2 = 4 and this movie definitely was summed up in the trailers.

Watching this movie was torture enough, reviewing it is like pouring salt on an open wound.

Mel Gibson back? Yes he is.. This time with a vengeance and an awesome movie to boot. The movies story grips you right from the beginning, also keeps you entertained with the situations that he ends up going through and ends up digging up as well.

What would you do if your son / daughter was gunned down? With no apparent reason to you, no explanation, no clue...? Obviously you would want justice for the crime, but what justice would you be seeking? Would it be justice such as Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence? Or would it be justice such as Training Day where the bad guy was gunned down by other bad guys with you setting it up?

Many scenarios, many options, which would you choose? Mel Gibson did a hell of a job in this movie, his acting, the script, the directing, the editing all played a vital role in making this movie as good as it was. Honestly I did not expect much, but he delivered on all angles with this role making you feel for him and the situation with a passion unrivaled and not seen in some time.

Definitely give this movie a watch if your a fan of the Crime / Drama genre.

This one started out a little slower than I am accustomed to with movies of this genre. But once Travolta was introduced, all hell broke lose. Then came the ass whoopins, the fuck bombs, the awesome profanity that only Travolta could deliver and is known for especially from his role in Pulp Fiction. [Royale with Cheese]

Seeing Travolta kill someone, is awesome. But seeing him kill someone while cracking jokes and looking cool doing so, priceless. A true blue american prick, Travolta's character overshadows literally everyone in this movie.

What makes this movie all the better in my opinion, is when his partner starts to learn the true ways of a secret or be it special agent. He realizes what the situation entails, after it is revealed to him in a very difficult manner. One simple situation or so he believes, ends up turning upside down and into a fox hole of lies.

Solid action, good acting, slow start though, but I will not let that drag my review all the way to the can. The script was definitely based on Travolta's character, with him shining with his punchlines and quick comments, being in every action scene, and also running wild doing what he feels is justice and right.

7.5 / 10 [An 8 personally, 7.5 due to the slow start.]
