movie review

The Box is one of the most suspenseful, sometimes creepy, movies I have seen in a while. Although this movie got bad reviews by most critics, I am with the ones who liked it. Despite some plot flaws and a somewhat weak ending, it kept me intrigued and tense throughout.

children of men (2006) - 9/10 superb 7 pounds - 4/10

so i watched a while ago the subtitled "the orphanage" and give it a 8. it actually creeped me out a little and i just watched "hellboy" which i rate 6.5 **true story - from when i saw trailers of this movie years ago to just yesterday i always erroneously thought that hellboy was played by ted danson with minimal makeup** i enjoyed the first half of ironman and then got bored with the cliches and action sequences. i give it a 5.

i had heard the terrible reviews of M. Night Shyamalan's latest film "the happening". currently it is 18% on rotten tomatoes. i watched this movie and without giving anything away, i agree that the acting was subpar - especially at the beginning of the movie. i expected more from mark wahlberg who has proved himself as an actor in recent years (the departed, we own the night, shooter). the basic idea was semi-plausible (without the gruesome means of death - which did add to the 'cool' factor). i found the movie entertaining and had its memorable lines. it was quite enjoyable actually. if you came it with fantastic expectations then you will be disappointed. if you expect a 20% movie like i was told, you may be quite happy. i rate it 5.5/10 it is not the best m night movie - whatever your favorite one may be - but it is still above the hollywood average.
