Gravity REVIEW


The Motion Picture Buff would like to present a review of the new film, Gravity, written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón. This film is about a medical engineer and a astronaut stuck adrift in space after an accident destroys there space shuttle. Gravity follows their story to see if they can survive this terrible ordeal.

(Hands Clapping) Well firstly I would like to go into saying that Sandra Bullock really did an outstanding job with her role in this movie. What I mean is that I was really captivated by her performance in this movie. For almost half the movie I was stuck on the edge of my seat wondering if she was going to make it. Sandra really took hold of this role and made it her own. Her emotions really transpired into the viewers because what she was feeling was pretty much what we were feeling. There is so much I want to say on her performance, but at the same time I do not want to give anything away. To sum up her performance though I will say this, if she does not at least get nominated for Best Actress for the 2014 Oscars, I will be shocked and terribly upset. Oh and someone is going to need to get punched in the face because she excelled at this role.

Moving on, the story in the movie was just fantastic! I loved how they really made us care about these characters in this film. You really connected to them and you were stuck on the edge of your seat rooting for them the whole way through. The beginning of the movie was really good and got you hooked right away. I loved the set up to the event that sets Ryan Stone and Matt Kowalsky adrift in space. It worked because it got you some insight into your characters before the chaos. In excitement to see this movie, when reading about it I also heard that George Clooney was perfect for his role, and of course I would have to quite agree. He just seems like the perfect astronaut, and he, like Sandra, really pull of some of the best acting I have seen any movie this year. George is usually good at anything he does though. Back on subject though, the story/plot of this movie all just makes sense and connects perfectly. When the characters are doing something you understand why they are and what the purpose is. Ryan Stone's story too, really gets to you and you really do care about her. You really want to see her succeed and make it back on the planet safely.

Now a couple last things I want to touch on before I end this review is the special effects, Alfonso Cuarón, and the sound effects. So firstly I want to say that the special effects in this movie were OUTSTANDING (yes all capitalization is necessary). You really felt like you were in space with them. So many stars out there, and the view truly was beautiful. If this movie isn't nominated for those special effects, something will be seriously wrong with the academy. Next Alfonso Cuarón and his son, Jonás Cuarón, wrote a beautiful film that I will make sure to enjoy countless times. The dialogue is flawless in the movie, I love it so much. The fact that Alfonso directed this movie is great to because I was a fan of his work since Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He did a good job then, but he has done a great job with Gravity. Lastly I want to talk about the sound effects. I love how in this movie they used the actual physics of space and put no sound when something happen in space. The space shuttle getting attacked . . . just random debris crashing into it, but yet no sound. I think this really added something to the film to make it more enjoyable. That sense of isolation I would say.

Summing this review up I would say that there would be nothing wrong with it. I thought long and hard about it before I did this review and I couldn't find one thing that I did not like. Sandra Bullock pulls off an amazing performance with a movie that Alfonso and Jonás Cuarón wrote. I would for sure give Gravity a must-see movie rating. With that it also is a perfect movie night film and you had better buy it on Blu-Ray because it going to look and be 20 times more amazing than DVD. When seeing it in theaters I will say that it will be fine in 2D, but it is totally worth the 3D ticket price because it adds a perfect level of depth. As for the rating out of 10 starts, Gravity deserves a solid 10/10 rating.

Well I hope you enjoyed this long and extensive review of Gravity. I really enjoyed the film and I completely recommend that you check it out this weekend. So stay tuned for more everybody, because it is . . . coming soon.

Star Trek: Into Darkness REVIEW


The Motion Picture Buff would like to present a review for the summer blockbuster of 2013, Star Trek: Into Darkness. In this film James T. Kirk, is on a hunt for a man who has declared war on Star Fleet. This hunt lands the crew of the Enterprise on the border of Star Fleet's nemesis.

Let me start off by saying this movie is pretty darn spectacular. It has all the right formulas to a great blockbuster. Not only is this movie a good blockbuster, it is a very enjoyable film. So the first thing I would like to mention is the acting in this film. Everyone involved in this film does a great job. The cast includes Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Benedict Cumberbatch, and others. Each one of these actors do a fantastic job. The chemistry between Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto is perfect.  I love how they bicker back and forth but then when it comes to the emotional stuff they can still pull those scenes off. Now one actor who really stands out in this movie is Benedict Cumberbatch. He does a FANTASTIC job as Khan. The facial expressions he uses when he talks are just great. They help bring a perfect performance and help make the movie WAY more enjoyable. You forget that these people aren't actually these characters and that they are actually other people in this world. Thats what I like to call good acting. Now moving on the action and the way J.J. Abrams does it is perfect. It flows perfectly with the story of this film. Speaking of the story behind this film I would have to say that it is amazing. I was emotionally attached to this film in so many ways. Sure it is an action film, but the film makes you really care about the characters. This film has ups and downs, and there is a point in the film where it gets really emotional and you really feel it. The actors, the story, the direction, it all makes the scene perfect. J.J. Abrams does a great job with the movie . . . he takes Star Trek: Into Darkness in a whole new direction than his first Star Trek film. The name of the film says it, it is a way darker film. The feel of this movie is great too. I love how they took Star Trek up a notch with this movie.

Now even though this movie is very, very good, I have to say that this movie has one flaw. The flaw in this movie would have to be the ending of the film. Here we are in a huge action scene, and then it suddenly ends and that is basically the end of the movie. The movie just comes to an abrupt halt. That would probably be the only bad thing I could mention from this film.

Summing up this review up I would say that this film is pretty darn enjoyable and probably one of the best films to come out during the summer season of 2013. There is only one movie I can think of that I enjoyed more over the summer season. I will review that movie later though. You for sure should buy this movie on Blu-Ray, it is totally worth buying on Blu-Ray. I own it on Blu-Ray and it looks incredible. This movie is also a perfect popcorn movie night film. Make a bowl of popcorn, grab a blanket, and pop in this movie. For the rating out of ten stars I would give Star Trek: Into Darkness a 9/10 stars.

Well I hope you enjoyed this review of the newest Star Trek film. To see my review of the first of the new Star Trek films, CLICK HERE. So make sure you stay tuned for more reviews, I know they haven't been as often as I said, but I still plan on doing them . . . so stay tuned for more coming soon.

Braveheart REVIEW


The Motion Picture Buff would like to present a review for the 1996 Best Picture Winner, Braveheart! This film is about the rebellion of Scotland against England in the 13th Century. William Wallace was the the heart and soul of this rebellion after his secret wife was murdered after she assaulted a King's soldier with whom tried to rape her.

Let me just say first that I absolutely LOVE this movie. It is no doubt one of my favorite films of all time. This movie is before Mel Gibson went insane, and let me just say that he did a fine job with this film. Mel Gibson was in charge of directing and acting in this movie, but yet the movie is just fantastic. Sure the effects and fighting scenes are a little outdated but this movie is old so it is acceptable. While talking about the action sequences I guess I could say that they are pretty darn awesome. I remember the first time I watched this movie and saw all of them I was just so intrigued by them. I loved each and every one of them. The reasoning of why William Wallace fights against the English is just perfect too. I am a big romantic and the fact that William does this all because his wife had been killed is just great. Moving on to the acting . . . all the main actors in the film do a surprisingly fantastic job! On that really stands out to me though is Mel Gibson's performance. You just believe that he is William Wallace. I think Mel Gibson just transformed into him. You can see it in his eyes and just his overall performance, I honestly think he should have at least been nominated for his performance. Next I want to talk about the screenplay/script. I think it works it may be historically inaccurate but most movies based on true events have fudged the truth to an extent. As I am writing it this right now my sister is watching the film and crying. I would have to say that it works because it really captivates people and engrosses them into the film. Another thing great about this movie is the ending really. I just love the ending and since I don't know if you have seen the movie or not I will not spoil it for you. Trust me when I say though that you should enjoy it though.

Now for the bad things about this movie. Now this film being one of my top ten favorites I can't really think of anything bad. But as I will be giving this film a 9/10 there has to be one thing wrong with it. I guess I would say that the movie can drag on just a bit. It is a three hour movie and there are some parts where the movie just seems to take forever. The only bad thing I would say about it.

So summarizing it all up this movie is for sure a GREAT movie. It has everything a great movie should have and more. You will for sure enjoy, "Braveheart" anytime you watch it. It is a popcorn movie night film in case you were wondering. Anytime you need a movie for a night of movies this would be a great pick. I would for sure give it a BUY ON Blu-Ray rating, along with the rating I said earlier a 9/10 rating. It defiantly deserved its five Oscars, and for sure deserved that Oscar for Best Picture.

Well I hope you have enjoyed this review of "Braveheart." Make sure you tune back in for more reviews and movie talk later on. If you would like us on Facebook HERE, that would be great too. Again thanks for reading.

Avatar REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present his 100th post as a review for the critically acclaimed motion picture, "Avatar." In this film a disabled Marine is sent to the moon, Pandora, to fill in for his brothers absence because of his death. Here Jake Sully, has a unique mission, but yet he is torn between following orders, and protecting the world he now calls home.

So shall we get the nasty negatives out of he way first? Well I guess I am going to have to say the predictability of the film. It is a little obvious with some parts the way the movie is going to play out. Its not so original as it claims to be, but yet there is some twists.

Besides that this movie is a TRUE masterpiece. Lets begin with the most obvious thing that this movie has to offer. The special effects in this film are just ground-breakingly amazing. Everything just looks so real, and it is just sometimes impossible to believe that mostly all of this film is computer generated. The cinematography too is just amazing for this film. The whole film just looks absolutely beautiful. James Horner is the composer for this film's score, and let me just say I have seen this film at least 100 times and I just hum along to the music. Some of the lyrics I even memorize. Truly a must purchase score for movie music fans, I know I have it! Now one of the other cool thing about this is that this whole world was created from the imagination of the great James Cameron. Its amazing to think that he though of this entire world when he wrote this script. So of course I have to give him credit for that. James Cameron also directed this film and let me just say he definitely does an incredible job with it. Your engaged into the film right from the very start. You can't pull your eyes away even for a second. You just want to know whats going to happen. I will mention here that the last 30 minutes are just amazing and it just makes me love the film even more. Moving back onto the topic of the world he created though, I did want to mention that whoever was in charge for creating the creatures did an incredible job as well. They looked amazing realistic and not just some silly creatures. They looked like somewhere in reality that they could be out there. The costumes and look for the Nav'i were also well done. I do want to say thanks to everyone involved with this film for creating an amazing film that is truly engaging from minute one. Now the acting. Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel David Moore, Giovanni Ribisi, and many others were included in the cast for this film. They all gave a good performance for this film. If I had to pick a favorite though, I am going to have to say that it was Zoë Saldana's performance as Neytiri. Though I will say well done to everyone. Thanks again for such an amazing film that I enjoy every time I watch it.

So all-in-all a visual pleasure to the eyes film. It is just one of those movies that for certain will go down in history as one of the greats! For the ratings it is going to get a must-see film rating. Well of course it would, it is number nine on my "TOP TEN FILMS" list. The only way to watch this film is on Blu-ray, so of course a Blu-ray buy worthy. I will give it a popcorn flick rating as well. As for the rating out of five, "Avatar" will receive a worthy 4.5/5 rating.

So why is this movie special to make it as the 100th post? Well after seeing this movie on its opening night on December 18th, 2009, I fell in love with what movies brought to my world. Films are an escape for me, an escape from the real world and into a completely different world. I then decided I wanted to pursue a career in the film industry. This is why this film is special to me.

Well thank you for staying 100 posts with me, and I hope you stay for more way beyond 100 posts! So stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

Trailer Talk of "Iron Man 3"



Okay so here we GO!!! Marvel's "The Avengers" was released in May, and so of course there is going to be more of Iron Man, Thor, Captian America, and others to set up another "Avengers" film. "Iron Man 3" is the first release since "The Avengers." Now before I get into things from the trailer make sure you watch it above!

So first of all I just yesterday came to the conclusion that Iron Man for sure is my number one favorite superhero. I am sorry Batman but it is the truth. He just is cocky, super smart, and all around badass! Now for "Iron Man 3" I was a little scared because Jon Favreau wasn't at the helm of directing, but after seeing this trailer all of my concerns were thrown out the window! Holy buckets does this movie look like a freaking epic film. I like how they show that Tony Stark is having issues after the events of "The Avengers." It makes the whole story line a lot more realistic. Now for this film it seems like it is going to be a lot darker than the rest. What I mean by this is that it seems to have a tone to it that makes it feel scary and just more real. Now the threat in this film is HUGE! They make it seem like Tony's world is just crumpling around him, and that he is going to have to rely on his best weapon . . . his intellect.

So am I excited for "Iron Man 3?" HELL TO THE YES! Iron Man is the best, and this film already look like a badass movie. My plan is to order IMAX tickets as soon as possible so I make sure I get a seat at midnight! What about you though? What do you think about this trailer? Let me know below and stay tuned for more.

Raiders of the Lost Ark REVIEW


Here comes the first installment in the reviews of the "Indiana Jones" series. The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for "Raiders of the Lost Ark." In this film an archaeologist and adventurer named Indiana Jones is hired by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant. The only problem is that he is also fighting against the Nazi's.

Well negatives . . . negatives. Anyone who has seen this movie would now that it is really hard to find a negative in the first installment of this series. I know I can't, so here I am going to talk about the positives. Well the acting from everyone in this film is just magnificent. Harrison Ford does a great job as Indiana Jones and everything. He was literally born to play this role. Now I know I say that about a lot of people but literally, nobody could have fit the hat and whip better. Karen Allen is also in this movie and I loved her. The chemistry between her and Harrison is just great. Paul Freeman, Denholm Elliot, John Rys-Davies, and others are also in this film. A great cast came together to make a great film. Steven Spielberg directed this film and let me just say he does a great job with this film. As they say this is one of his best films. He just has a way of keeping you engaged in the film that makes it so enjoyable. He also creates some elements to the film that are great. John Williams is at the helm of the composition for this film and he has created a masterpiece of a score with this film. Of all the soundtracks I have told you to get make sure this is on the top five list. I love John Williams, he is for sure my favorite composer still to this day. Now this film came out in 1981 and for its time period it definitely had some pretty good graphics. The cinematography I also loved in this film, the film just had that action/adventure look and feel to it. The other thing I wanted to mention was the costumes, I thought for the time period of the movie that they did a pretty darn good job with recreating the clothing for the characters. This also leads me to the sets, I thought that they definitely recreated the late 1940's for us. Now the last thing to mention though is the screenplay. George Lucas and Philip Kaufman created the story of Indiana Jones, but the writer of the screenplay was Lawrence Kasdan and I thought it was great. What makes a great script is great dialogue and a plot that makes logical sense and this film did it well.

If I think back on it now the only thing I could mention negatively about this film, is that at some points I felt like the movie's plot seemed a bit rushed and a little unnatural.

So all-in-all a GREAT action adventure film that is fun for the whole family. It has an amazing cast and just a great story with it too. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is going to get a must-see rating of course, along with a popcorn flick rating. I will also award it the rating of Blu-ray buy worthy and a good family flick for one night. As for the rating out of five, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is going to get a worthy 4.5/5 rating.

Well thanks for reading and I really do hope that you enjoyed this review. One thing to mention is that make sure you like "Motion Picture Buff Reviews" on Facebook HERE. Thanks again and stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the movie, "One Flew Over the Cuckoos's Nest." In this film, R.P. McMurphy arrives at a mental institution. After arriving he becomes a rebel and rallies the patients to fight back against the oppressive Nurse Ratchet, a woman who is more of a dictator than a nurse.

Well shall we begin this review with the negatives? First thing I really would like to say is that this film can be extremely slow at some points. There are times within this film where you are just waiting and waiting for something interesting to happen. Then there is the other thing, which is the ending of the film. As to not give anything away all I am going to say is that I am not sure really why he did what he did? I was a little bit confused.

Other than that I loved this film, it really was magnificent. Jack Nicholson really did deserve his Oscar for his performance in this role. You really fell in love with him and his character. Louise Fletcher played Nurse Ratchet, and she also deserved her Oscar she got in this film. Holy crap, there were sometimes where I just wanted to punch her. Ugh she could really make you angry and Jack Nicholson really helped you feel it too. Now the rest of the cast was fantastic as well as these two. Danny DeVito got an Oscar nomination for this film and he really did deserve that. I was just shocked by his performance. He really could play a person with a mental disability. Sydney Lasswick played Cheswick, and let me just say great job man. Oh his character could really get on your nerves throughout the film and he did it perfectly. Will Sampson, Brad Dourif (who does a GREAT job), Scatman Crothers, Christopher Lloyd, and more were also in this film. This was another on of those films with a great cast! Milos Forman was in charge of directing this film and I think he did a superb job with it. You really were on the edge of your seat there at some points. Then there was the screenplay which had great dialogue. I love a film with good dialogue. It also had a great message this film did and it displayed it fantastically. I also loved the cinematography of the film was just great also. I did also want to mention the score of the film which I enjoyed also. So good job by composer Jack Nitzsche.

So all-in-all this film is a very enjoyable film that has a great message for all of us to learn. This film will break your heart and at the same time give you some warmth and happiness. It has some of the best acting too. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is going to receive a must-see film rating along with Blu-ray buy worthy or DVD. For that decision it is really up to your preference and budget. Its one of those films that is just as good on DVD as Blu-ray. This film is 100% a tour-de-force too. As for the rating, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" deserves a great 4.5/5 rating.

Well thanks for reading and I really hope you enjoyed this review. Now one more thing before I end this review here, make sure you "like" the review site here on Facebook.

The Artist REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the Oscar's Best Picture of 2012, "The Artist." In this film a silent movie star meets a young actress/dancer. During this time to birth of talking films begins and say good-bye to silent films. This event sends their careers in opposite directions.

Well lets start with the negatives this time shall we? Well this movie could be a little slow in some points and boring.

Other than that though this movie was just great! This movie defines why I love going to the movies. It has action, humor (good humor), drama, romance, and the brilliant thing about it is that it is SILENT. There are literally only two parts within this film with sound . . . other than that it is completely silent. Just the music to listen to while the actors do there job! Let me just say the actors defiantly do there job. Jean Dujardin definitely deserves that Oscar he got in February. He can really act and what makes his performance so good is that he can pull it off while his voice is not used. I loved his performance so much. Then there is Bérénice Bejo who plays the girl, wow can she act also. I just loved her as her character. She was incredible. John Goodman, James Cromwell, and many more actors are in this film and they all do a wonderful job . . . really! Great job with casting for this film. Now Michel Hazanavicius wrote and directed this film. AMAZING job, amazing job. That is all I can say. Writing a silent movie after decades of not having a single one had to have been a difficult task, but he pulled it off with brilliance. He made the characters perfectly too, because we actually cared about George in this film. Plus the way he directed it just reminded us why we all love to go to the movies. This film just had so many elements from older movies that I love that just kept me watching and enjoying this film. So yes Michel definitely deserved that Oscar he got too. Cinematography in this film was also incredible. Now it may have been in black and white, but this film still had a certain feel and look to it that I enjoyed very much, so GREAT job, Guillaume Schiffman. The score for a silent film had better be important and EXCELLENT right? Well for "The Artist" if defiantly was for sure. It just was the perfect tones and music in the right moments in the film. Ludovic Bource was at the helm of the score for this film and he did it perfectly so definitely a great job by him. So this is a silent movie right about silent movies becoming obsolete. I loved it because it takes you back to when movies were innocent romances and just actual fun. Not to discredit movies to day, but like I said, "This film reminds you why we all love movies in the first place.

There is a question I must answer about this film though. Do I think it deserved the Oscar for Best Picture? This is a (and always is) a tough and difficult question to answer. I am going to have to say no. I saw "The Descendants" which was also nominated, and I in fact love that movie more. It does for sure deserve the other awards it received I believe so far, and it definitely at least deserved the nomination for Best Picture.

So all-in-all this film is just a fun and enjoyable ride that your going to lose yourself in. It actually is a good date-night film, but for sure Blu-ray buy worthy. It is 150% a must-see film that you will enjoy. As for the rating, "The Artist" is going to receive a worthy 5/5 rating.

Well thanks for reading and I really hope that you enjoyed this review of "The Artist." Have you seen the list of my "Top Ten" favorite movie (so far in History) yet? If not CLICK HERE to see! Now thanks again and make sure you stay tuned for more review of motion pictures . . . coming soon.

Looper REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would finally like to present a review for the feature film, "Looper." This movie takes place in the year 2044. Thirty years into the future when the mob wants to eliminate someone they send the mark back in time to the "Looper's." Joe (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a "Looper" but one day he realizes that the mob wants to close the loop by sending back Joe's future self.

Well lets start out with the positives of "Looper." Well what can I say, "HOLY CRAP!" This movie was fantastic. I enjoyed it even though you go into this movie not expecting what you get. It is just one of those movies where you have to be completely engaged into it to understand. Movies that I freaking love. This movie also has twists to it that you never would have guessed, and it really just does take you on a terrific ride. While on the topic lets talk about the plot/screenplay created by Rian Johnson (who also directed). GREAT job is all I can say. It creates characters that you actually care about. This movie has an amazing plot to it along with a great premise and it will just not disappoint. It explains everything in the end, and does not leave you confused. The twists I mentioned above are just incredible and just SO unpredictable. Actually a story to go along with this. I was waiting for the movie to start outside the theater with a friend and I completely made a random guess as what was going to happen in the end, and I WAS RIGHT! I felt like a super genius. When it happened I looked at my friend and he just laughed. Unpredictable guess and completely random but I got it right. Anyway back to the review, the direction of the film by Rian Johnson was also great. He did a great job with all the action sequences. He just keeps you interested in the film and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The acting within the film is WONDERFUL. Joseph Gordon-Levitt I swear gives the performance of his career. I loved him in this film and he really transformed into Joe. Bruce Willis as "older" Joe, was GREAT. He was incredible with his acting in this film. Especially with what he had to do in the two scenes. It was really believable that he could be the older Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I though them two also had great chemistry with each scene they are in together. Then there is Emily Blunt who does a great job as Sara. What I am going to say here is HOLY SHIT I had no idea she could act. Wonderful performance as a mother of a child. Speaking of which, Pierce Gagnon, played Sid, who was a key character to the story. He did great and played the part perfectly. Everyone else involved in this film too did a great job. Now this film has a telekinetic theme to it, which at first I though was going to rate the movie down, but in reality they pulled it off with this film.

So are there negatives to this truly engaging film? Well I am going to have to say that there are some points where I find the movie moves a little slow and needs to pick up its pace.

So all-in-all a VERY enjoyable film that you have to make sure your focused on. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time! Now this film is for SURE a must-see film and it of course then gets a Blu-ray buy worthy rating. Along with that it is going to get a popcorn flick rating. As for the rating out of five, "Looper" deserves a worthy 4.5/5 rating.

Well I hope you enjoyed this review of "Looper" and that is encourages you to go see it. Now make sure you vote on the poll in the sidebar before its to late. More reviews are coming soon though so make sure you stay tuned for more.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present the final review for the final "Harry Potter" film, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two." In this film, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are searching for the final Horcruxes. Meanwhile the final battle ensues inside the legendary school.

Well this film did make it in my Top Ten List (or MUST-SEE FILMS). So obviously this film has literally almost all positives. So what are they? Well the acting of this film is just phenomenal. Danielle Radcliffe has just gotten to be one of the best actors I have ever seen. Emma Watson and Rupert Grint also give the performance of there careers in this film. Just an outstanding performance you three. Then there is the rest of the cast which does an amazing job. Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) and Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort) really stand out in this film. These two were born to play those characters. Alan just has a great tone to his voice that shows who Snape really is and he also has the greatest look on his face. Ralph Fiennes also is just INCREDIBLE (and I mean INCREDIBLE) as Lord Voldemort. I could not have seen anyone play him any better. He was just great! Moving onward with this review, David Yates finishes the franchise as director. Let me just say he did a great job with the end of the franchise. The angles, the shots, the cinematic background in the shots, the just everything he did for this film was amazing. I was just so engaged in this film and so will you. He does an amazing job with the action sequences also. It just pulls you in from second . . . one! Steve Kloves finishes the franchise as screenwriter (he did every film except one). This film was just great. I love the way he transitioned back and forth in between each storyline that needed to be relevant to the story. Great job bringing the books to the big screen. Alexandre Desplat (composer of previous film) returns to compose and create THE BEST SCORE for the "Harry Potter" franchise. Literally this is number one my favorite for all the films. There is just something he adds to the action and story that is just amazing. The cinematography in this film is just great . . . just like every other "Harry Potter" film. The final thing that makes this film great, is just the fact that it is literally the best possible end to a franchise that began over 10 years ago. If you followed Harry from the end, you will not be disappointed. It will make you laugh, cry, and give you that feeling in the end like something has left your life. Thank you to everyone involved on creating the series to the screen, you definitely created an amazing series.

The only thing I do have to grip about is the end seemed a little bit rushed. It does send Harry off with justice, but it just moves along to quickly.

So all-in-all this film is the perfect end to a perfect franchise. It is 2000% a must-see film. Go out and buy it on Blu-Ray because it is worthy of it, and also it is the perfect popcorn flick. You will enjoy this if you have enjoyed any of the "Harry Potter" films. As for the rating out of five, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two" will get a 5/5 rating.

Well thanks for reading this review of the final "Harry Potter" film. I hope you have enjoyed my reviews of the "Harry Potter" franchise. If you haven't seen all the reviews, click the title of the ones you have missed here: Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince, and Part One." Well thanks for viewing the review of these great films. Stay tuned for more reviews of motion pictures . . . coming soon.

Inglorious Basterds REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the film created by Quentin Tarantino, "Inglorious Basterds." In this film it takes you back to the time when the Nazi's occupied France. A group of Jewish solders plant to assassinate the leaders of the Nazi party, while they get some unexpected help from the owner of the theater where it all happens.

Well hm really you know how I have a TOP TEN LIST? Well when I extend it to the TOP FIFTEEN (which I will) this movie is 100% going to be on it! I am actually rethinking the list right now because this movie is absolutely amazing! The acting in this film from everyone is just SUBERB. The cast in this film includes: Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Micheal Fassbender, Diane Kruger, B. J. Novak, Mélanie Laurent, Eli Roth, Til Schweiger, and many more of course. Who I want to comment on in this review is Christoph Waltz's performance. This is (if I remember right) the first movie I have ever seen him in and he is now one of my favorite actors out there. Oh his performance is just phenomenal. He really became his character in this film. Apparently I wasn't the only one to think that wither because he did receive an Oscar for his performance in this film (2010 awards). So I thank you Christoph Waltz for an amazing performance. We move on now to the direction of the film . . . along with the screenplay because in this review the two co-inside with each other. They were great, the script was great and it was just a wonderful story. In this film they kept the dialogue true to the nationality of the character which I believe is great because it adds to the film and makes it somehow more enjoyable. As to not to give anything away about the plot I will not mention my favorite part about it, but lets just say this movie has some twists (if you have seen the film you will know what I am talking about). A thanks goes out to Quentin Tarantino for creating a GREAT film.  The costumes were great for they film, they really did a good job with setting up the stage for World War II time. The the last thing I really want to comment on is something I really wouldn't comment on, which is the cinematography. I thought I was very good for some reason in this film, and well I guess it was because it got nominated for an Oscar for that part of the film. Oh actually one last thing, I love the music in this film. For some reason I can't find who did the score but I loved the music that always played in the background.

The only negative things I could really say about "Inglorious Basterds" was the fact that it was a bit slow in some spots . . . other than that nothing! Oh wait there was this one guys performance in the film that I hated! Oh the guy who played Fredrick (Daniel Brühl) . . . I just feel like he did not fit the part.

So all-in-all I am pretty sure you can guess what this film will be getting? Well of course it is 150% a must-see film. I would have to say it is a tour-de-force too. "Inglorious Basterds" will also get a Blu-Ray buy worthy rating also. I do want to say though, "Fair warning this film is pretty gory. Which was something I did not expect!" Now on the scale out of five, "Inglorious Basterds" will get a 4.5/5 rating.

Well thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review. Seems like it is a longer one? Oh well I hope you enjoyed it anyways. Now make sure you have subscribed by email in the sidebar, just wanted to mention that. Then you can be emailed when I update the blog next. Well stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban REVIEW



The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present the third installment of the "Harry Potter" series reviews with the review of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." In this film Harry Potter is starting this third year at Hogwarts. Trouble is a brewing when Harry discovers that convicted murderer Sirius Black is after him. He also has to deal with these creatures that continue to attack him.

Well I think it is time we should talk about the positives first for a Harry Potter film. Well as said in previous reviews for the Harry Potter films, the acting just continues to get better for the child stars. They seem to advance with there skills and still seem to give a great performance. This film also introduces a few new characters that are quite important. Gary Oldman (who plays Sirius Black) and David Thewlis (who plays Remus Lupin, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher). They both do an outstanding job, and Gary Oldman is just fantastic as always. This film is the first one to introduce a new director, Alfonso Cuarón. Let me just say I love the way he took this Harry Potter film. He gave it a darker tone, but at the same type kept it enjoyable for kids. He also used camera angles to make beautiful shots and scenes which helps make a great movie. Moving on . . . the hair and costumes in this film were great . . . and like I have said in previous reviews, if I mention that its because I noticed it and I NEVER notice it which means its outstanding. Then there is John Williams giving his amazing score again for the franchise. Let me just say this is probably my favorite film score for the entire franchise, so yeah it is a must-buy. It just is fun and inventive, and just adds a whole new level to the film.

Now one main negative from a professional standpoint came from this film, and that is the fact that they didn't do a good job explaining some things which kind of bothered me. At some points it was hard to catch what was going on (if you haven't read the books). Now as a fan I will have to say one negative and that is that they left out some crucial points from the book which is very upsetting. So Steve Kloves this wasn't your greatest Harry Potter film.

So all-in-all what is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" going to get? Well it is a great kids film and a great Harry Potter film as its self. It is 100% a must-see film, and it does deserve a Blu-Ray buy worthy rating. On the scale out of five though, what does it get? Well I am going to be harsher than I should and say a four out of five. It is a very enjoyable film though.

Well thanks for reading this review of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." I hope you have enjoyed this third installment of my reviews of the "Harry Potter" series, and that you stay tuned for more. Make sure you didn't miss the first two reviews though, here is my review for "Sorcerer's Stone" and here is the review for "Chamber of Secrets." So thanks again and stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

Titanic REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to divert for a little bit from the reviews of the "Harry Potter" series, and review one of his TOP TEN MUST-SEE FILMS, "Titanic" written and directed by James Cameron. In this film a boy and girl that come from oppostie ends of the social class meet during the ill-fated journey of the RMS Titanic.

Firstly I want to say that if you have not seen this movie . . . how dare you! So, obviously I am starting with the positives first for this review. I can 250% understand why this movie got its 11 Oscars on Oscar night that night. This film is just beautiful in every single aspect. The direction and camera angles are just beautiful and everything. It captures and sucks you into the story in such a fantastic way that you don't want the film to end even though it is three hours long. Which leads me into the screenplay/story-line of this film. Oh my god I don't think I have ever loved one more. Oh it is just absolutely beautiful the way James Cameron took this movie with the script. You know the ending right off the bat, and yet your sitting there hoping it won't, but it is inevitable. James Cameron was involved in almost every aspect of this film and I am glad he was. It was defiantly his baby, and one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies. Moving off James Cameron though, lets talk about the music (or score) of "Titanic." James Horner this is probably one of the first of your works I have heard . . . before I saw "Braveheart" and let me say your a genius. This album is a definite must-buy. He just adds to the movie in a way that is unimaginable. Okay before I move onto acting I want to say this . . . I could watch this movie forever and never get bored . . . it may be number six on my MUST-SEE MOVIES LIST, but it is the only movie I could never stop watching. Now acting in this film is outstanding and there are so many great actor in this film and to make sure I do not leave any one out I am not going to mention anyone. The whole cast of this film does an outstanding job and that is all I have to say here. I just don't want to leave a single cast member out when I say that everyone was MADE for there part. They all made me believe in such a great and well made movie. So thank you to all the cast and crew for creating such a great movie.

Of course though there has to be a negative. I have only one thing to say really that is a main thing which is the fact that the love story within this film is just SUPER SUPER cheesy and kind of annoying. Only really negative of this film.

So all-in-all "Titanic" is going to get the ratings of theses: date-night movie, Blu-Ray buy worthy, must-see film, and a tour-de-force. It is just one of those movies that everyone has to see in there life-time. So on the scale out of five "Titanic" is going to get a four point five out of five.

Well thank you for reading the "Motion Picture Buff's" review of James Cameron's "Titanic." I hope that you have enjoyed it and will stay tuned for more. One thing I do want to say before I end this review is that make sure you subscribe by email in the sidebar on the right, so you can be emailed when I update the blog next. Thanks again though, and now make sure you stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present the first part in his eight part reviews of the Harry Potter series. So "let the magic begin" with the review of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." Well (as most of you probably know) this film is about a young boy who discovers he is a wizard, and that somehow when he was just a baby he had defeated the darkest wizard of all time. Harry Potter learns that he is also accepted into "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" and there he learns and proves how great of wizard/human being he is.

Well lets start out with the negatives that came from this movie. Before I get into them though I do want to say that I am going to try and do my best with the professional reviews here . . . I am a HUGE fan of the series. Well a negative I am going to have to say that this movie can be a bit slow and extremely predictable at times. What I mean by this is that the story just moves along slowly, the movie most likely could have been shorter (but more to come later). What I mean by predictable is that it really isn't surprising what happens at all. You have seen this in other movies before this one came out.

Otherwise I would have to say I loved everything else. They choose the prefect cast for this film I thought. All of the young kid actors in this film did amazing. For directing kid actors/actresses, director Chris Columbus, did a fantastic job. He also had to direct the well known actor/actresses that were included in the older parts of the cast. All of the acting performances in this film were great. Some of the more famous (older) cast in this film include: Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Warwick Davis, and Richard Griffiths. Of course there is more, but I thought I would mention a few. The story line in this film (expect for things mentioned above) was good. I thought it did a really great job setting up the beginning of what will become a GREAT franchise. Oh course I have to talk about the look of this movie . . . which is incredible. Stuart Craig was in charge of "Set Direction" and he did a GREAT JOB! Everything just looks authentic and SO real. Then we move onto the wonderful score created by none other than the greatest composer of all time, John Williams. GOD, I swear he knows how to compose a film. I would have to say that you have to make sure you purchase this score because I sure did and I LOVE it! He just adds to the movie in so many ways that you never thought was possible. What I really have to say as a positive is that I was a perfect book-to-film adaption for the first book in a franchise, and it began something that no one ever thought would become as big as it is today! It really is the perfect beginning for a franchise and I could have never imagined it any other way.

So all-in-all what is "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" going to get on my ratings? Well for starters it is 100% a "must-see film" because it is defiantly a classic that nearly anyone will enjoy. It has also become a huge phenomenon that had consumed the world. It gets a "buy on Blu-Ray" rating and it is a good popcorn flick for one night. On the scale out of five what will this film get? "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will get a four point five out of five.

Well thanks for reading and I hope that you enjoyed the first part of the eight part reviews of the "Harry Potter" series. Two more reviews will be coming tomorrow night so make sure you stay tuned for that soon. I have really been waiting to do these reviews, so I hope that you will enjoy them. I do want to mention that I have a twitter account for movie quotes now, so follow HERE, if you want tweets of random movie quotes on your timeline. Thanks again for reading and make sure you stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

The Words REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the motion picture "The Words" which opened this weekend. In this film a writer at the top of his literary success must realize the price he has got to pay for stealing another man's work.

So shall we start of with the positives from this film? Well I am going to say firstly that I throughly enjoyed this film. The premise of this film was great, that is what had brought me into this wanting to see this movie. Did this movie do the premise justice? Well since I am talking about it in the positive section I am sure you can assume that yes it did. The story line this movie took was incredible and I felt like it flowed perfectly. I like how well the movie went in between each story that it was telling. It kept up with each three of its stories pretty well, and I like how it all connected together. The direction of this film was good too, and that is probably what had helped flow good. The acting from Bradley Cooper was just outstanding, he always seems to do a very good job in any film he is in. Jeremy Irons also was perfect for his character. I loved how good he was with the emotions of his character. At some points you really feel sorry for him, but at the same time you do understand why Bradley's character, Rory, did what he did. The two actors here did an amazing job with there performances and made me really enjoy this movie more. I will not forget though of course Zoë Saldana, Olivia Wilde, and Dennis Quad's performances too. They also did a really good job. I had also like the costumes for this film. Now if I mention costumes for a movie (which is very RARE) they have got to be good, otherwise I would never really mention them. Oh I do want to mention that I also thought the score of the film did a good job of adding the tone to the film.

What really had bugged me about this film was three things that were pretty major. The first thing I want to mention is that this movie had theses scenes where they moved extremely slow. You were sitting there watching what was happening and all I could think to myself was, "Okay now show me the next part, cut to something a little more interesting." I just felt like some shots in the film were too long. The next thing I wanted to talk about was that the only conflict really in this film didn't really seem to shine! It seemed like there could have been a big conflict, but then it didn't become one and the conflict it ran with was never really solved. The last thing was the ending of this film . . . it just seemed to end. Just bam all of a sudden you knew it was going to end.

So all-in-all this film had a good premise and seemed to do a very good presenting it in an enjoyable film. "The Words" just seemed to have some slower parts to it and the ending was a little disappointing. I would have to say it is "DVD buy worthy" its something that you and your girl (or for you ladies reading, for you and your guy) to enjoy which you will. It has a couple good love stories in it that you wouldn't expect. You might want to watch it again someday, but I am not going to say it is a "must-see film." I enjoyed it quite a bit, and on a scale out of five I will give "The Words" a three out of five.

Well thanks for reading, I am hoping that you enjoyed this review and I hope you can too go enjoy "The Words." Now coming soon are reviews for a eight movie series . . . I have been anxiously been waiting to do these reviews. I won't be releasing them all at once, it will be over a time period of three days. Just thought I would keep you informed, so make sure you stay tuned for those reviews, and for more . . . coming soon.

R.I.P. Micheal Clarke Duncan


I am sure you have already heard the sad news about the passing of a great actor, Micheal Clarke Duncan, but I thought in honor I should do a blog post. He passed away Monday after a two month long struggle with a heart attack. "He suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered," said Micheal's personal representative. Micheal Clarke Duncan was 54 years old and engaged to marry Osmarosa Manigault-Stallworth. I am saddened to report this news to you all. It saddens me to report the loss of someone who had so much talent, especially since he was still pretty young and had a lot of life before him yet.

Micheal's motion picture history includes "Planet of the Apes (2001)" as Attar. He was also nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting role for his performance as John Coffey in "The Green Mile." He most recent work was in the TV series "The Finder." His most recent work in the movie industry is in the film "In the Hive" which has been completed and is expected to be released in 2012.

Dwayne Johnson had this to say about Micheal's passing, "I will miss you my brother." Its sad to see that he had to leave this world. All I want to say is thank you Micheal Duncan for your amazing contribution to the motion picture industry. You will be greatly missed, and I send my condolences to his family and close friends. Rest in peace.

The Truman Show REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for a film starring Jim Carrey, "The Truman Show." In this film an insurance salesman/adjuster discovers his entire life is actually a reality television show.

 Well lets begin with the positives for this review even though I really don't have ANYTHING negative to say about this film. Lets start with Peter Weir as director of this film shall we? Oh wow he has also directed "Dead Poets Society," but let me just say that he does an amazing job with this film. What makes it great is that he uses just so many camera angles for this film, that just helps pull you into the emotions of the film. The score for this film done by, Burkhard von Dallwitz, was just absolutely engaging. It helped make scenes more emotional, and I will be making sure to check out that soundtrack as soon as I am done with this review . . . no joke. Lets move onto the story and the plot of this film (which includes the screenplay written by, Andrew Niccol). Let me just say I find the idea of this story extremely intriguing. Just the idea of someones whole life being fake and that everything he grew up around was all just a stage and none of it was real at all. Then there is the way Andrew wrote the film that just makes you want to stay involved in the film, that I just love. At first you aren't sure how or what is happening but in the end they do an amazing job of explaining every single thing that you could have possibly had questions about. The dialogue too just seemed to flow great. Oh such a good movie here that includes amazing acting. I was always surprised to find out that Jim Carrey never got a nomination for his role within this film. I always thought his portrayal as Truman Burbank in this film was 100% Oscar-worthy! Then we have Ed Harris who also does an amazing job as, Christof, the director of "The Truman Show." He just is outstanding in this film, and he deserves his nomination for "Best Actor in a Supporting Role" nomination from the Academy. Everyone who is this film I just love. Noah Emmerich as, Marlan, is just GREAT too. This film also includes: Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney, and Holland Taylor (who usually is just SUPER annoying). They all seemed to do a great job with their characters, which helps make a great film that you will enjoy.

The only possible thing I could say bad about this film is that I wanted more out of the ending, which really isn't a negative. It's just I wanted more in the end.

So all-in-all what does this mean since I didn't really have anything negative to bad to say about this film. Well I never thought of this film when creating my TOP TEN LIST, but watching this film tonight has already made me change the list, and it has been addd to NUMBER TEN on the list! So yes "The Truman Show" is a 100% "Must-see film" and I would 100% recommend purchasing this on Blu-Ray! A very good popcorn flick for a movie night one night. So on the scale out of five what is this film going to receive? I am giving "The Truman Show" of course FIVE OUT OF FIVE!

Well thanks again for reading . . . I will make sure to get as many posts up as I can in the coming days. Oh I would also like to mention thanks for all the views . . . I have now done 50 posts in a little over two months, which to me is amazing since I already have over 1200 views, so thanks for everything. If you are new here though I hope you enjoyed this review enough to comeback again for more in the future. Seems like I will be doing more reviews than my other posts though, but I will try to slide other variety of posts in there once and awhile. Make sure you vote in the poll on the sidebar, oh and also make sure you spread the "word" . . . only if you enjoy my posts though. Again thanks for reading and make sure you stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.

Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" Poster


Well since I haven't done a review in a couple of days, I thought I would do some talk about a movie poster that has a lot of hype over (and just came out one day ago) the upcoming film directed by acclaimed director Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln."

I first heard about this film a couple of months ago, and I am still waiting for a trailer to this film. It is surprising that this film does not yet have one as the movie comes out on November 16th, 2012. Apparently though there has been a lot of hype around this film. There has also been a lot of Oscar buzz around this film, which makes sense as Steven Spielberg (director of Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, and others) is at the helm of this movie and it is about the 16th president of the United States. Oh and by the way . . . this is the first official poster for the film, "Lincoln."

President Abraham Lincoln has always fascinated me, so personally I am already excited for this film. When I found out that Steven Spielberg is at the helm, I got even more excited! What do you think about "Lincoln?" Do you think it will be good? Would you see it? Leave a comment below . . .

So stay tuned . . . for more.

The Amazing Spider-Man REVIEW


The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the reboot film of a series loved by many, "The Amazing Spider-Man," which stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. We all know the classic tale of Spider-Man right? A high school student named, Peter Parker, (Andrew's Character) gets bit by a biological spider and develops spiderlike powers that he uses to fight crime. That is really the basic Spider-Man story. So shall we review this new retelling of a classic tale?

Lets start with the positives of this film because there were many! The first thing I want to say is that this Spider-Man story is way better told that Sam Raimi's story told back in 2002 with, "Spider-Man."  The story line of this film just follows a more believable story of events, and like a lot of people have said, "It stays truer to the story of Spider-Man." Moving on to acting from this film. Let me just say that Andrew Garfield was meant to play Spider-Man. He just pulls off that cocky tone Spider-Man has, but when Andrew needs to be serious for his role he can pull that off greatly also. Andrew and Emma have amazing chemistry together. It was literally so believable. Its like I think they should be dating in the real world but I remembered this is just there acting for this movie. The guy who played Dr. Curt Connors, who is actually played by, Rhys Ifans, does an incredible job. He was meant to play him as well. Then there is Emma Stone as her character Gwen Stacy. She does it really well. It seems like Emma always does an incredible job in her movies. I cannot think of one movie where she is bad at her role? Now Gwen Stacy's dad, Captian Stacy is played by, Denis Leary, and let me just say he can played a cop. Now I remember sitting in the theater thinking that the score of this movie is just incredible, and when I am done here I have to look that up. I didn't have to wait though, because we were watching the credits because in Marvel movie's there is always that extra clip right? Well I saw that one of my favorite composers did this movie and I want to say props to James Horner for putting together an excellent score. I most definitely will have to buy that sometime. The rest of this film like the directing was all great. 

With almost every movie though there has to be some negatives to it. I have a short list of negatives for this film though. Starting with the fact that I felt like this movie revealed Spider-Man's true identity to to many people. That kind of bothered me. Then there was the fact that this movie could be a little slow at some points where I was like, "Come on, get to the point here." Then probably the last negative I have is that I feel like there was no build up to Peter becoming Spider-Man. It was just like "Blurp, I am Spiderman." So yeah that bothered me. 

All-in-all though this movie is defiantly better than the original Spider-Man films created to you by Sam Raimi years ago. It is 100% a must-see film. So if you haven't seen it in theaters yet, you are missing out. Make sure you check it out before it is gone. If so make sure you buy it on Blu-Ray when that comes out. For a rating it will receive a 4 out of 5. 

Well again thanks for reading. Now make sure you stay tuned though, I have some new things coming to the blog today (if Wifi cooperates with me). Make sure you spread the word about the blog (if you enjoy it. It helps me greatly, more than you know. Also make sure, if you haven't, that you subscribe to the blog here by email in the sidebar to the right. Once subscribed you will receive emails once I update the blog with a new post. So make sure you do that. Also you only have like two days left to vote on the most recent poll, so make sure you do that. Again though thanks for reading, and make sure you stay tuned for more . . . coming soon.
