#17 My Top Ten Films

10. The Italian Job, this film was very boring, tiring, confusing, and just frankly a waste of time.

9. Serendipity, this was a cliche romantic comedy that put me to sleep with its repetitiveness.

8. Iron Man, simply another superhero/ comic book film, exaggerated to amplify the action.

7. Never Back Down, part of the reason I liked this movie was because the main characters were very good looking and the fighting was somewhat good, otherwise i thought this movie was very stupid and pointless.

6. The Bourne Identity, filled with mystery it caught my attention, until nothing changed and the movie became very boring.

5. Rocky III, I love the amazing fighting scenes in this movie because that was the only interesting part.

4. Finding Nemo, although the begin was sad and a horrible was to stat a family/kid film, it made up in animation and the amazing plot of a loving father doing anything he can to find his lost son.

3. Wall- E, the animation in this film was amazing along with the heart warming story.

2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, really like this fill because of the mystery and romance, it was creative and new.

1. The Dark Knight, this was extremely enjoyable film with lots of excitement that caught my attention and kept it till the very end of the movie.

Films I didn't see : Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Karate Kid.

#15 Never Back Down (9/10)

Never Back Down was in intense fighting film. I very much enjoyed it because of the excitement, drama, and chaotic atmosphere. The only reason that I extremely liked this film was because one of my favorite actors, Cam Gigandet, was in it. He played the role of the bad guy very well. Plus he is very nice to look at. Besides that the film was over all good. The fighting senses where very realistic. They gave me a sick feeling in my stomach when I saw the boys getting beat up, and the blood all over their body's. I really liked this film because the problems were everyday things and not unrealistic. For example one of the main characters, Jake Tyler played by Sean Faris, had to move away from where he lived into completely different environment . He had to adjust to the move, the new school, the new friends. He was also going through a rough time because his dad passed away. Him and his mom argued allot, and he kept secrets from her. All these things lead up to a great plot and good ending even though they were bad. This film showed determination and strength. Jake Tyler had to over come his anger. He had to push his physical and mental strength to the fullest. This film was good and I would definitely watch it again.

#14 Wall-E (10/10)

Wall-E was an amazing film about a curios robot that is on a mission into outer space following his crush Eve and at the same time bringing back humanity to the planet Earth. The first thing I would like to mention is the phenomenal animation. It was just amazing, i can't even begin to describe in words how magical it seemed, it really completed the film. Every scene was so detailed that although it was cartoon it seemed real. The way each character was created gave them so much personality and detail. The way they made the robot Wall-E, with all his precise detail, and giving him a unique personality really made the film have an emotional effect. Witch brings me to the second thing that i really enjoyed which is the emotion that this movie portrayed. There was romance, sadness, happiness, thrill, excitement, and curiosity. I felt every emotion watching this film except for disappointment. I really liked how in the beginning there wasn't very much dialogue at all but i was still able to imagine what they were thinking and feeling. It was truly amazing. This is by far the best animated film i have ever seen. I liked how i could enjoy it with anyone from my little sister to my friend to my great grandma.

#13 Dark Knight vs. Iron Man

Out of the two movies The Dark Knight and Iron Man, my ultimate favorite would have to be The Dark Knight. I choose that movie over Iron Man because it was way more enjoyable to watch. It didn't confuse me or make me want to go to sleep. Also I was already a big fan of Batman and the Joker before the movie even came out. I didn't even know who Iron Man was. To me i think the reason that I chose The Dark Knight over Iron Man was because In Iron Man The hero was an "iron man " but so was the villain. But in The Dark Knight The hero is completely different than the villain except for the fact that they are both human. Their personality's were so interesting and unique , so completely different in every way. The film just was amazing to me and Iron Man just simple wasn't.

#12 Iron Man (6/10)

Iron man was an action filled movie with lots of fight and suspense filled scenes. I really didn't understand the movie because it was confusing. The thing that probably made me so confused was the fact that the vocabulary was high. For example when the charters where talking about the engineering of the iron man suit they used technical terms that only an engineer would know. I like the scene in the beginning where he is captured and held hostage by a group of with it seems to be terrorist. It kind of mad me scared to see how he was in a cave isolated from the rest of the world. The actors did a good job at showing how ruthless , mean, careless, and brutal those men were. The most frighting part that mad me want to close my eyes because i didn't want too see the inhumane act that they were going to preform was when the leader of the group, Raza (Faran Tahir), takes a piece of coal straight from a fire and threatens to put it on one of the guys mouth if he doesn't tell the truth. To me that was a good way of showing what situation Tony Stark(the main character/ iron man) was in. The thing that i didn't like about this movie was the plot wasn't steady. For example at some parts it would move really fast and at other it would take what seemed like forever to get to the point. It was like for like ten minutes I would be really into the film and on the edge of my seat and then all of the sudden i would be wanting to fall asleep. Every thing else about the film was good, i probably wouldn't watch it again unless i was bored on a Tuesday night with nothing to do.

#11 The Dark Knight (9/10)

This film was a classic story of a super hero and a villain, but modernized. In this case the super hero was Batman and the villain being the Joker. I really enjoyed this film, its one of my favorites. From being to end the film was filled with suspense, action , and romance. I didn't mind the length of the film because it kept me interested the whole time. My favorite character was the Joker. I liked him the most because to me he had the most mystery. Keith Ledger played an excellent part. He fit the role perfectly. The way he portrayed the character was astonishing. I believe no other actor could have done it better. The Joker himself was amazing too. He was very interesting, funny, sad, and scary. While I was watching the film and studying the details of the charter it was weird because i felt as if he was a real person. He had so many characteristics and his detail went into great depth. All of his games and mind tricks he played with the rest of the town were evil, pain filled, insane, although he laughed at all of them. Harvey was another character that i enjoyed watching because he developed throughout the story, he changed in little and in big ways.

I really enjoyed watching the action scenes that fulfilled Batman's duties. Although there was allot of back flips and jumping off sky high building, everything seemed realistic. In the end I extremely enjoyed this film. It did a great job at putting several genres and putting them into one while still pulling off an excellent movie.

#5 Serendipity (5/10)

To me this movie was just another fairy tale romance complete with young, attractive, lovers whose respective paths to emotional consummation rest in the palm of fate. Around Christmas time, Jon and Sara (John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale) meet while trying to buy the same pair of cashmere gloves. He asks her to go out with him for the day but she refuses. Somehow she finds her way back to him and finally agrees. After a wonderful night out on the town, Sara gives Jon her phone number, but it blows away in the breeze. By this happening Sara is convinced that they are not meant to be together and everything is controlled by fate. She sets up a little test (one of many to follow) to finalize what fate has to offer. She says if they press the same button in separate elevators, they are meant to be together now and if not they must move on. They do, but Jon is delayed and misses the chance. Years pass, and both are ready to walk down the aisle. That is, unless, fate decides to rear its head. For me It lacks some of the elements of great romantic comedy but has a twists that knocks it a slight notch above some of the rest in the genre. With its smart script and charming performances, it’s hard not to enjoy it for what it is. I enjoyed watching frormer Saturday Night Live cast member in her role as Sara's good friend. She was funny and made me laugh with her appealing remarks. At time though i did get a little bored with the whole "fate" genre, not using that term loosely because that was the whole film. I wish there was more to the movie plot wise. But in the end i enjoyed parts of it and would watch it again if i had to. Romantic comedy lovers will probably swoon over Serendipity. From my perspective, it's a lukewarm feature, but there are things to enjoy about it, and I have to admit leaving the film with a little smile on my face.

#10 The Bourne Identity (8/10)

This movie begins when fishermen spot a man lifeless in the ocean. They rescue him and pull him into the boat. The crew doctor finds two bullets and what seems to me a laser pointer in his body. Throughout the story this man can remember almost everything except who he is. He knows that people are after him and want to kill him. I really like this movie because of the action and intensity. The Bourne Identity pops and crackles with elaborate suspense and thrills, like brilliant shot gun battles, martial arts sequences, and a awesome extravagant car chase. The film revolves around the mystery of his past. The whole time I kept wondering what would be next. I liked the fact that this movie was an action movie, but at the same i didn't like it because it was an action movie. What i mean by that is the whole time the film was filled with action witch I'm liked but then again the whole time it was filled action. It got boring for a while but kept me interested. I was a bit confused in the beginning and somewhat in the middle, but i think that was the point of the movie. The girl character in the movie to me was pointless. To me she was just in there so there would be at least one female part. She only served as someone to talk to and cause unnecessary problems. Overall this movie was very good and i enjoyed it except for some minor things.

#8 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (8/10)

What makes this film such a curious case is that when Benjamin Button was born in New Orleans just after World War 1, he is already in his eighties, and proceeds to live his life aging in reverse. This extensive , three hour film follows the character's unusual life into the 21st century as he experiences joy and sadness, romance, and the meaning of timelessness. For me the story was very interesting in the fact that most movies are the growth of people through their life, and so was this film except it was backwards. It was interesting to see someone go from the body of a baby with the conditions of an old man to a young ,healthy middle aged man back to baby again. Although this film showed some happiness and humor , like the old man and his lightning occurrences, most of it was sad and depressing. Fincher's movie seems to exist exclusively to remind us of our own humanity. It's a sequence of constant, controlling, downers witch made me think of the cold grave that everybody is heading to. Spending three hours in a darkened room reflecting on your own eventual termination isn't exactly my idea of a good time, or movie. The beginning through the end was very depressing. There was heartbreaks, deaths, loneliness and many other gloomy details. Almost every one that Benjamin loved ended up dieing or vanishing in his life. Over all the repeating sadness and length,the story line was good and pleasing.

#4 Finding Nemo (10/10)

Finding Nemo, made in 2003, is about a father clown fish looking for his only son that was captured by divers. He goes through many obstacles in the vast blue ocean before they finally reunite. This movie is great for all ages. It has humor that even adults can enjoy and animation that kids will love. The artist at Pixar did phenomenal job with creating the characters, they made the movie visually stunning, using vivid colors that let my eyes explore the underwater environment. I also think the voices for the fish where perfectly picked out to match each charter. Ellen DeGeneres perfectly plays the voice of Dory, a blue fish that suffers from amnesia. Also how Andrew Santon play the voice of Crush, my favorite character. He is very enjoyable to watch and extremely funny. At the end of this move I almost felt as if these fish were real. I like that the fish had human traits, such as parents having trouble with their kids. It has a heart warming story line that will surly teach a lesson. Overall this film was well written and very humors!

My Favortie Film

My ultimate favorite film is Rebecca by Alfred Hitchcock made in 1940. This story is about a Maxim de Winter who is still troubled by his first wives death, Rebecca, but falls in love with a young and timid lady. The second Mrs. de Winters soon finds out that when Rebecca left she left a strange hold on every body especially the house keeper Ms. Denvers who begins to dive her to madness and possibly suicide. This story is filled with mystery, romance, and horror. Many things where left untold witch I think made the movie even better. Such as the new Mrs. de Winters name before she got married was never mention. And how they never show what Rebecca looked like, but throughout the film they brag and boast about her beauty. They said she was the most beautiful women anyone had ever see. I love the the fact that everything was a surprise. The characters are full of unique personalities. Everyone has a mysterious side to them witch really made me interested. Like how Ms. Danvers would go through the dead wives things in her old room and how Mr. Danvers, a nice man, would sometimes go crazy and the thought of Rebecca. The Gothic style was very exclusive along how it was shot in black and white. It gave the movie a more dramatic, thrilling effect. The film displayed Hitchcock's unparalleled talent for ominous atmosphere exquisitely. Alfred Hitchcock made the estate, Manderley, in which they where living in, a character itself. The detail that was put into this movie was phenomenal. I truly think that the thought that was put into everything and every character is a masterpiece and genius. I could most defiantly watch this film millions of times and never get bored and probably discover something new about it each time.
