Thor: The Dark World REVIEW

Well it is finally time to review another Marvel film, this time starring the Avenger from another world. Here is my review of Thor: The Dark World, starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Eccleston, and many more great actor/actresses. In this film Thor is faced with an enemy that even Odin and the forces of Asgard cannot withstand. Thor must reunited with his beloved Jane Foster and his tricky brother to try and stop the forces of Malekith, the evil dark elf. He must sacrifice everything to save us all.

Now lets start of this review by me saying that this movie is freaking enjoyable. I enjoyed every single part of this movie, from the beginning to the end. That being sad lets talk about this movie. This movie brings back most of the original cast for an epic return to the world of Thor. Chris Hemsworth continues the role of the god of thunder, Thor. As said in my other review of, Thor, he pulls of the role perfectly. When casting these Marvel movies the could not have done a better job. They got all amazing actors to portray these amazing roles. The breakout performance in this role again though would have the be Tom Hiddleston as the god of mischief, Loki. Tom Hiddleston as Loki is like Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight. They were practically born to play these roles and they do it just perfectly. I will get to more with Loki later though. Now the one performance in this movie, as I had also mentioned in my review of Thor, that I wasn't really happy with was Natalie Portman's. My real issue with her is just that I could see any actress playing the role of her character. Natalie doesn't become the character, and really I just do not see her as Jane Foster. I don't know what it is, I just don't see her as this character. Other than that everyone else does a great job in this movie. I love how Kat Dennings was back in this movie, and the fact that she had a bigger role in this movie than I thought she was going to have. The last person I want to mention is Stellan Skargård as Dr. Erik Selvig. Again he pulls of the role and I could not have been happier with the twist they added to his character.

Moving on I want to mention the story of the movie. Let's start of by saying that I absolutely loved each and every single twist involved in this movie. Almost every single twist I never saw coming. I predicted some things before I went into the movie, and I thought I was right on several occasions but then I ended up being wrong because of the twist. I wasn't wrong with a few things though, I was right on a couple things. Now the only couple things I would have to complain about from this movie would have to be the fact that it left you hanging with a lot of things. The end scene you were like, "WHAT!?!?!" Then the end credit scene you were really confused with as well? I really hope we get a good explanation later, unlike the end credit scene with The Avengers. We still really don't know how that is tying in with that scene yet. I thought this movie would, but so far there has been nothing. The last thing I wanted to mention about this screenplay would have to be that it is just your basic ordinary superhero movie storyline. There is nothing spectacular about it except the twists that are thrown in with the movie. I did like how the story was a lot more humorous though. The comedy in this movie worked and it was well enjoyed. Loki was really the star of the comedy in this movie, which I loved even more.

Now there are a few last minute things I do want to mention. These would include the visual effects, the cinematography, and then music. Yes as with almost every Marvel movie the special effects are pretty darn incredible, but I love a movie with good special effects. I can't stand a movie with bad special effects these days because we know the technology is there now and this movie proves it. I never noticed one bad special effect scene in this movie. Moving on to the cinematography of this movie I just really wanted to mention how I love the gritty look of the movie along with the whole feel the movie gave to the watcher. Kramer Morgenthau did a great job with this movie I will have to say, that is for sure. Now Brian Tyler did the musical score for this movie and he had also done the musical score for Iron Man 3. I thought the music seemed similar, and lucky for Brian I loved the score from Iron Man 3. So the score from this movie was just as good. It is one that I really would buy to listen to. I love the musical score of movies and this is another good one.

Summing up this review, I will say that Thor: The Dark World is a very welcomed return to the world of Thor. It is super enjoyable and the action scenes are epic as heck! I will be seeing this movie in theaters again because I love Marvel movies and this is a great addition to the Avenger series! Now for the ratings I will have to say that this movie is a MUST-SEE FILM, if you are a Marvel fan and a fan of the Avenger series. Like I had said it is a great addition to the series. Thor: The Dark World also deserves a buy on Blu-Ray rating. Now I did see this in 3D but really there is no need, so I will say that this movie is worth the ticket price for a movie night. So go out an see it, right NOW! Now for the rating out of 10 stars, I will have to say that it deserves an 8/10 star rating. 

Well I am hoping that you have enjoyed this review of Thor: The Dark World. It really is a good movie to go see in theaters. It really is worth it. Now make sure you stay tuned for more reviews. I have a couple movie waiting to get reviewed. So make sure you stay tuned for those reviews . . . coming soon!

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl REVIEW

Well welcome back to the Motion Picture Buff again. Today I would like to present a review for the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In this film an eccentric blacksmith teams up with notable and recently captured pirate, Captian Jack Sparrow, to save a girl to whom has been captured by a group of pirates that used to be Sparrow's allies.

Now most people I know have seen this movie before. You had to have seen it right? This is a classic film that everyone must see. Why? Well because it is literally a very enjoyable film that keeps you interested the whole way through. What about it is so interesting? Lets first talk about the cast in this film. Johnny Depp acts with serious perfection in this film. This is the role he was born to play because in movies he acts to today in, I still see a little bit of Jack Sparrow in his role (which isn't good). Anyway, Johnny Depp, plays the character of Captian Jack Sparrow, and they did a great job picking him for this role. I was glad to see Johnny getting a nomination for Best Actor Oscar for this role. Kiera Knightley is also in this film and I looked it up, she was only 17 years old when they did the filming for this film. For 17 years old, Kiera did a great job in this film. She is an amazing actress and this is where it practically all began. She just portrays the role of Elizabeth Swan amazingly. When picking the cast for this film, they could not have done a better job. I could go on and on about all the actors and actresses in this movie, but lets just say they all do a fantastic job with their roles to bring an amazing movie to us viewers. Some other notable people in this film would include: Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush, Lee Arenberg, and Jack Davenport.

Next I wanted to mention the story for this film. It is a decent story, its nothing grand and spectacular. It is an enjoyable ride though. I enjoy this movie every single time I watch it, and trust me, by now I have had to have seen this movie well over 20 times. Director, Gore Verbinski, does a great job with this film. He portrays the movie beautifully and he keeps us on our toes throughout the whole movie. At the end of the movie you are begging for more, which as most people know, we do get (more on that later though). The cinematography in this movie is really good to. I love the way the movie looks and feels. It has the right look and feel for it, I wouldn't want it any other way.

The last few things I want to mention about this movie are probably what I love most about the Pirates of the Caribbean films. The musical score for this film is just wonderful. Klaus Bedelt does a great job setting up the perfect theme song for a good series of movies to come. The rest of the score as well is just perfect for the film. I can find myself humming songs from this movie all the time, especially right after watching it. Now the other thing I want to mention is just how enjoyable this movie is. It has all the right pieces to a perfect popcorn movie. It has humor, action, adventure, romance, and just a kickass cast pulling of the wittiest of characters. It may not be a perfect film, but it is a sure enjoyable ride.

Now rating this movie I will give Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl a well deserved popcorn movie night rating. It also deserves a must-see film rating because personally I think everyone must-see this film. It is for sure a instant classic. People will be enjoying this movies for years and years, as they already have been. It is a film you will watch over and over again, and so it does get a buy on Blu-Ray rating as well. Now for the rating out of ten stars I will give, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, a 8/10 star rating. 

Well I hope you have enjoyed this review of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Stay tuned for the reviews for the other films in this great series.

Iron Man 3 REVIEW

To catch up with all the currently released Avenger films, the Motion Picture Buff would like to present his review of Iron Man 3. In this film Tony Stark's world is torn apart when he threatens the terrorist, the Mandarin. He has to build himself from the ground up to try and stop this merciless villain.

As so of you might know, I am a huge Iron Man fan. I loved the first film, was a little disappointed with the second, and The Avengers is one of my favorite movies of all time. Now back in May, Iron Man 3, hit theaters and I absolutely was thrilled with this movie. I saw this film at midnight and in IMAX 3D, so it was pretty darn epic. Since then though I have seen the movie countless times, since it is now out on Blu-Ray and DVD. Why was I so thrilled with this movie? Well that is easy because it was a nice and extremely enjoyable ride back to Tony Stark's story and just Tony's story. Robert Downey Jr. is one of my favorite actors out there right now, and he just kills it again as cocky badass Tony Stark. In every film Robert Downey Jr. is in he really just consumes himself into his role. I don't see Robert Downey Jr. being a quite awkward person, I see him as Tony Stark. This makes him perfect for the role. The other actor/actresses in this film like, Guy Pearce, Don Cheadle, Ben Kingsley, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rebecca Hall, and others did a great job. This film has a great cast and makes the film so much more enjoyable. Even the child star in this film did a good job, and I usually hate the little kid actors within films like this.

Now there are a few things I want to touch on in this review. The first being director Shane Black. Jon Favreau directed the first two Iron Man films. In this film Shane Black brought something to Iron Man that I just absolutely loved to be honest. There was a darker tone to it, and the way he told this story was just great. I was very happy with Shane Black's direction for Iron Man 3. I will be honest I was nervous before the movie, but now having seen the movie I can't complain.

Moving on I do want to talk about the story of this film. A lot of people have gripes saying that it is a lot like Pixar's The Incredibles, what I have to say to this is that a lot of movies are like a lot of other movies out there. Its hard not to have some similarities to other movies now a days. There are just so many movies out there. The next thing with the story is there is a point half-way through the film where the movie takes a direction that most would advise against. Most people hate what they did, but personally I absolutely loved it. I would have never seen it coming, and I love when a movie completely throws you for a loop. It just made the movie so much more enjoyable.

Next I would like to talk about  the special effects in the movie. In some scenes they were really good, and in others they weren't the best. I noticed that when they were battling scenes between the suits and Killian's army, the special effects excelled. When the helicopter is blowing up Tony's house though, there are a few times were everything looks CGI and extremely fake. I felt it took away from the experience a little bit. In talking about the suits though I do want to say the end fight was probably the most badass Iron Man scene ever, I freaking loved it. I was entertaining and extremely enjoyable. The last 30 minutes of this movie is just complete awesomeness. If you didn't or don't like it, something is seriously wrong with you.

One last thing I did want to touch on is that the music/score of this film is perfect. Brian Taylor did a great job with coming up of a theme for this movie. I can find myself humming it long after I have finished the movie. It is going to be one of those soundtracks I will have to buy.

Summing up this review (dragged on a bit) I would say that Iron Man 3 is a solid addition to the Iron Man films. It has a good story to it, with amazing actors to help portray some awesome characters. IT has all the twists and action you could ever hope for. You had better buy this film on Blu-Ray when you decided to watch it because it is a must-see film! It is also a perfect popcorn movie night film, so keep that in mind. For the rating I will give Iron Man 3, a solid 8/10 star rating.

Well I hope you have enjoyed this review of Iron Man 3. For my review of other Avenger films click there names HERE: Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captian America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers. Well stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

Now You See Me REVIEW

Well the Motion Picture Buff would like to present a review for the film Now You See Me. This film is about four magician/illusionists that are brought together by one mystery master magicians. What they do includes robbing banks, stealing money, and other highly illegal. An FBI agent is after them and so the panic ensues.

So lets think of some negatives of this film. I would have to say the love story aspect in this movie is just completely unnecessary. The movie already had enough to it with all the plot twists (which I will talk about later) and the love story just made it a little to much. The chemistry between Mark Ruffalo and Mélanie Laurent was just very poor and didn't seem believable at all. It just seemed to be intrusive to the plot of the film. One other thing I wanted to mention is that this movie has to many twists. Do not get me wrong I love twists in movies, but not more than one or two. Now You See Me is filled with twist after twist. It becomes annoying because as soon as you think one thing it changes to be something else, but guess what it changes again.

Lets talk about the positives from this film. Well firstly I want to mention that all of the actor and actresses in this film. Now You See Me includes the cast of Jessie Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fischer, Dave Franco, and lots others. They all do a fantastic job. I love each one of the four horsemen's, the characters are very well played out and very enjoyable. Each one of the actors do a great job. Now the plot of this movie is also very well. I really enjoyed this story, I was hooked right from the opening sequence. The plot flows well and keeps you hooked all the way through. There may be quite a few plot twist but it is still good. This story also has a good meaning behind it to. There is a reason behind why the four horsemen do what they do, and the reason makes sense and is very good. I would also like to mention the magic in the film. Some of the tricks were pretty darn cool.

Wrapping this review up I will say that this movie is a darn good time. You should enjoy it. Sure there are a few things bad with it, but it doesn't detract from how good and enjoyable this movie is. I would for sure give this movie a "Buy on Blu-Ray" rating. This movie would also be prefect for a popcorn movie night, you will surely enjoy cuddling up one night under a blanket with a bowl of popcorn and a drink. Now out of 10 stars I will give it a 8/10 rating.

Now sorry about the lateness on this review . . . I hope you enjoyed it though. Make sure you stay tuned for more reviews coming in the following days. I have a few movies that I have planned to review. Make sure you stay tuned for more movie review, information, and other thing involved in the movie industry.

Shakespeare in Love REVIEW

The Motion Picture Buff would like to present a review for the 1999 Best Picture Winner . . . Shakespeare in Love. This film is about a young William Shakespeare when he was writing his masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet. It goes on the story of Shakespeare short of cash and out of ideas, but then he meets a woman who inspires him to right one of his most famous plays.

Lets begin with the positives from this film shall we? Well I would have to say that I love the script and story of this film. I just fell in love with the story that Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard had created. I loved the characters. The love between Will and Viola was just incredible. So props to Marc and Tom for creating an amazing story, you definitely deserved your Oscar for this film. Moving on . . . next I will have to talk about the acting. EVERY single actor/actress in this film did a good to great job. Some of the stand out would have to be of course Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes. These two had amazing chemistry together. The way Joseph looked at Gwyneth was just incredible. You could just see the lust in his eyes, and he made you believe that he was truly in love with Viola. Other actors who stood out in this film would have to be Geoffrey Rush, Tom Wilkinson, Ben Affleck, and everyone was just great in this movie. I really enjoyed this movie, so I can't mention everything but I suppose for the last thing I would mention is the set direction. Seriously I love the scenery for this film. I felt like I was in the time period and when you forget that this is all actually fake I think that just makes it an even better movie.

Now some negatives I would have to mention about this film would have to be that at the beginning I was a little confused. It took a little bit for me to understand what was going on, but I finally caught up. The other thing I would mention is that the ending I wasn't really sure if Viola died, got stuck on an island, or what happened to her. I know that she was leaving for the new world, but then Will started talking about his next play. So I wasn't sure what actually happened with her?

So wrapping this review up I would have to say that this movie grabbed my heart. I would for sure watch it again and soon. Now the movie is a perfect date-night movie. So if you have a girl and need a movie to watch . . . look up Shakespeare in Love on your Netflix  and watch it will that special girl. Make some popcorn and cuddle up with that girl of yours. If no girl its still a great movie to just enjoy one night. You will love it, if there is any romantic in you . . . you will love it. I will give it a popcorn movie night rating, date-night rating, and out of 10, I will give this movie an 8/10 rating.

Well I hope you have enjoyed this review of Shakespeare in Love. I plan on doing a review of some non-oscar winning movies soon, it has been awhile and I have the prefect movie to rip to shreds. So make sure you stay tuned for that and more.

Argo REVIEW

The Motion Picture Buff would like to present his review of the 2013 Best Picture Winner, Argo! In this film a group of American Ambassadors are in hiding in the Canadian Embassy in Iran from angry Iranian citizens. If captured they could be killed. So the mission is to get them out undetected, the problem is how?

Now I want to talk about the negatives about this film first. Firstly I would like to say that this film is kind of slow-paced and not very exciting. I mean do not get me wrong, it is a good movie but at some points I was like can this movie move on a little bit? The other thing I had an issue with would be the fact that it was a little confusing. Sometimes I had a little bit of trouble staying caught up, thankfully the person I was watching it with had seen it before.

Moving on now I would like to say that besides the few things I mentioned above I really did enjoy this movie. I like how it is based on a true story. I love the true story and this movie does a darn good job with the story. It may drag on and be a bit confusing but it is still enjoyable. Ben Affleck did a good job with the directing in the movie as well as playing the main character. I like when a movie has a good strong main character and Ben did just an amazing job with it. I really did believe Ben was the character he was playing. He did a great job. Everyone else in the movie did really well, this movie is filled with really good actors and surprisingly they look like the original people. Sometimes I hate when movies pick people for looking like the original people from the original story, but this movie did a good job of picking people who looked like the right people and good actors as well. I also enjoyed the cinematography within this movie. It had the right look for the tone this movie was giving the watcher.

Now picking when to watch this. I wouldn't say that it would be a popcorn flick movie because you have to be emotionally involved in this movie. You also have to make sure you pay attention to it and listen to what people are saying. It's a good movie to watch one night when you want something with meaning and want a movie that matters. For my rating I am going to give this movie a 8/10 rating. I would like to say that I do think this movie deserved a nomination for Best Picture Oscar, but I don't think it deserved the Oscar.

Well I hope you enjoyed this review and will stop back in for more reviews later. I will also talk about other things than reviews. So stay tuned for that too.

The Illusionist REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the motion picture starring Edward Norton, "The Illusionist." This film is about a low-class boy who learns the tricks of illusions and falls in love with a high-class girl. Fifteen years after they were taken away from each other Eisenhiem (the Illusionist) returns and him and the girl (now women) are still in love, forbidden love. "The Illusionist" was a film that I had not known much about, plus I thought it was a different film. What happened was not what I had expected but it amazed me, so it will be receiving an 8/10 rating. So lets talk about another Must-See Film shall we?

Lets start with the negatives today shall we? There were only a few things I really didn't like, but nothing really major, just little things in this film. To start off, the beginning was a little confusing at first. They used a scene that would show up later on in the film, and then it flashed back to childhood. Then it went to a moderner time. I dunno I guess it was just the plot was a little hard to follow at some points, but it all made sense in the end. The other little things that had bothered me was the explanation at the end of what had ALL happened was done enough to make you understand, but I feel like it could have been a little bit better.

Now though the rest of this movie was just incredible. I so enjoyed all of the acting within this film. Paul Giamatti did an INCREDIBLE job as the detective I thought. I love him as an actor, and he defiantly gave a performance of his life in this film. Edward Norton isn't really my favorite actor, but in this film he did an outstanding job I believe. The rest of the cast also did perfect, it was a very well put together cast. The look and feel of this tone was amazing. I felt like I was back in the day. Who is the director of this film (searching . . .) oh it was Neil Burger. I think he did a job job with this film. The love story within this film was well done. Edward and Jessica Biel's chemistry was just amazing. I do like the story this movie told, it kept me very well interested and kept me watching the whole time. The ending was completely unexpected and was very good. I love a movie where they surprise you with the ending, makes a good film.

So all-in-all this film is 100% a "Must-See Film." It would work great for a popcorn flick one night, when you want something different. So make sure you check out, "The Illusionist" sometime soon.

Well thanks for reading, means a lot to me. Hope I made you decide to watch this film, I thought it was very good. If you have seen it leave a comment below on your thought.

Perfect Sense REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the motion picture starring Eva Green and Ewan McGregor, "Perfect Sense." This film is follows the life of a chef and a scientist falling in love as diseases spread around the world killing off each one of our five senses, starting with our sense of smell. "Perfect Sense" deserves the rating that I give it, which is a 8/10. So lets talk about the one thing that really bothered me about this movie, and all the great things this movie had sneaked into it.

To start off lets talk about the one thing that really had bothered me about this movie. It was enough to lose two points for it. Well it has to do with the beginning of the film, but it wasn't how the film exactly started right away. After that though it seemed to slow down a bit, and take forever to pick up. When it did pick up though, it was like all of a sudden everyone had the disease. It never really explained where the disease came from or what really started all of this. Oh actually one other little thing was that I didn't like the camera angle when it was on Ewan's bike at the beginning of the film. Gave me a bit of a headache watching that.

Otherwise the rest of the movie I absolutely loved. I loved how real the movie seemed to be. Like they used images and videos of real people from all over the world in some scenes, and they just used them perfectly within the film. Like at the beginning when Eva Green was voiceovering with talking about life. They showed videos of real life people doing the things she was saying. I dunno I just really liked that I guess. They used this technique also within the film, like after everyone lost there sense of smell. She said that your sense of smell is directly related to memories, and so they showed images of real people. Just a really cool part of the film I liked I guess. The acting in this film was great, especially the two leads. Ewan and Eva seemed really believable, and they had amazing chemistry in this film. The rest of the cast was well picked for this film too. I really enjoyed and believed everyone's performance. Ewen Bremner played Ewan's character's coworker, and I really enjoyed him in this film. The story line of the film (screenplay/plot) was well put together. Like I always say, it just worked from the beginning to the end of the film. TALKING ABOUT THE END OF THE FILM though!!! Oh my god, I loved it! It really was one of the greatest ending I have seen for a film like this. I really actually wasn't made at the way this ended, sure there could be more explaining about after that but it worked great. The camera angles and direction of this film were good. I really did enjoy this film.

All-in-all this film was VERY good. Need a movie to watch with someone special? Well this movie is a perfect date night movie. It well deserves it's 8/10 rating I gave it. So make sure you go check it out sometime.

Well thanks for reading. If you have seen this movie though leave a comment below or email me HERE on what you thought about the film. You are getting ever more closer to becoming a "Motion Picture Buff" also.

Buried REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" presents a review for the motion picture "Buried," a Rodrigo Cortés film. This film is about Paul Conroy (played by Ryan Reynolds), who is a truck driver in Iraq. He and other truck drivers were ambushed, and Paul was knocked out in the ambush. The next thing he knows is that he is stuck in a coffin, and so the movie ensues it's plot from there. I am going to give this film a marvelous rating of 8/10. There wasn't much I hated at all about this film, as you can see. Even the things that bothered me were very minor.

So to get rid of the negatives right away, I would like to say that Ryan Reynolds did his most amazing performance I have ever seen. At times though I thought he wasn't doing his best. He still made me believe though everything. I was lost in his character, but I just thought he lost some off his great acting he had in this film at some points within the film. Other than that um oh yeah the . . . well I will not say but . . . Where did it come from? (If you have seen this it should make sense what I just said). My sister saw this movie before me and ended up telling me, and it had made sense that it could have happened that way. I never saw it though, so yeah though just a little thing. (Sorry if a bit confusion but trying not to give anything away). There was also some camera shots I didn't like at some points, I thought they were in the complete wrong spot. Oh, one other thing I have to say though is that I didn't really like this one scene, it really had no relevance and it was weird.

Now the rest of this movie was just absolutely perfect. I love the beginning of the film. I could have thought of 10 other ways to start the film, but the way they did is most likely the absolute best. It keeps in tone with the rest of the movie really because, if they would have done it my ways it would have been the only other odd scene. The ending is another one of those hate and love endings I mentioned in my "Last Night" Review. I loved it more in this film because it just made it absolutely perfect, down to the very last second it was. As I said above, Ryan Reynolds acted his heart out in this film. It was just so freaking believable all the time. He really made me nervous while I was watching the film. I felt like I was in the box with him the whole time. That would probably have to do with some of the direction of the film and camera angles. Ryan though did an excellent job playing a part while being stuck in a coffin. It just shocked me how believable it was. I was totally immersed in the film the whole time. I was screaming for him, crying with him, and feeling all the emotions he felt while he was in the box. By the end you feel somewhat claustrophobic. The score of this film was pretty decent I thought. I also loved the dialogue in this film. Chris Sparling, the writer of "Buried," did an excellent job with that I will have to say. I would though like to say thanks to everyone who helped make this film. It truly was very incredible.

So all-in-all a marvelous film that I enjoyed very much. Just had a few minor things that had bothered me with it now that I think about it. It is a must-see movie though, so it would be good for a movie night one night (popcorn flick). If your ever in the mood for a thriller/mystery, well this would be a great one to watch.

Well thanks for reading, and make sure you subscribe by email to the blog in the sidebar. Then you will know when I update the blog next with more reviews or movie news and information. Vote in the poll in the sidebar also (JUST UPDATED). You can also check out the movie I might be reviewing next on the list of movies I have on the other page.

Last Night REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" presents a review for the film, "Last Night," starring Sam Worthington, Keira Knightley, Guillaume Canet, and Eva Mendes. This film was wonderful in my opinion, and I would give it a 8/10. For a guy, I do love to watch romantic movies, and I do tend to love the for some odd reason. Now though, lets get to this review.

Well lets get the little bad things out of the way first shall we, and then we can end this movie on a positive note. Well one thing I did not like was Eva Mendes in this movie, I really didn't like her acting very much in this film. Plus she kind of readily annoyed me when she was on screen. Normally I like her, but not in this film (her acting seemed kind of forced). Now the other thing that docked this film down a point was the ending (but at the same time I like it, know what I mean). I do not want to give it away, but let me just say, "I HATE those kind of endings."

Now for the positives. I really liked the transitions in this film. I thought they did a really good job with keeping up with both stories that were going on in this film, as that is what it is about. I really loved the plot of this film. I thought, Massy Tadjedin, did a very good job writing this film (along with directing). All of the love stories (which includes three of them) were very believable in my opinion, even though one really wasn't so much love as it was an attraction. I was shot out of my seat by Keira's performance as her character, Joanna. I also liked Guillaume's performance in this film. I thought these two did the greatest job in the film with acting. They just made me believe in there relationship. I also liked Griffin Dunne in this film, I thought he did a great job. The music in this film also set the tone very well. Going  back to the plot though now . . . I really liked what happened and the way it happened (trying not to give anything away here). I almost thought the end was going to be completely stupid. Mind you I hate the ending that happened, I hate it when movies use that kind of ending on you. Just irritates me, but at the same time they are really good endings. In a way they are the only way, and the perfect way to end the story. OKAY POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ THE ITALICIZED WORDS: It is perfect because it makes you think, and I absolutely love it when a movie can make you think. I hate it because you wanna know what had happened, but I guess it is left for you to interpret. 


All-in-all a very VERY good film. I loved watching the love stories in this film. I was anxious the whole time waiting to see what was going to happen. So it definitely deserves it's 8/10 rating I gave it, just a few things that the movie needed to change. A defiant popcorn flick for you and your loved one.
