IMDB #10 - 16: Mini Reviews

I needed to catch up on my IMDB movies but decided that I didn't want to do full reviews...  So, here are my extremely short reviews.

District 9

A very interesting take on apartheid and science fiction all rolled into one.  I liked this one.  I've even heard that there is to be a sequel.

The Prestige

Oh my!  This movie get me every time.  I know what's going to happen and yet I also feel the adrenaline pumping during the big reveal.  Christopher Nolan took a very good book and stripped it down into an even more amazing story.

Finding Nemo

Another Pixar movie for my February marathon.  While this isn't my absolute favorite Pixar, it's still a really good movie.  Especially when you compare it to other animated movies.

Avatar

Ugh!  Not a good movie at all.  I was thoroughly bored throughout.  And the storyline is completely predictable.  Definitely don't waste your three plus hours on this movie.

Cool Hand Luke

A classic Newman movie.  Must see for all movie buffs, if not just for the egg eating scene.  Newman exudes cool and calm throughout the movie.  But make no mistake, the movie has some brutal moments.  Still a great classic.

A Beautiful Mind

Not the best at all.  I don't really understand all the hype surrounding this one.  It just doesn't resonate at all.

American Beauty

Another overhyped movie.  The only interesting part was Kevin Spacey.  Everything and everyone else is done.

And so that's my review catch up.
