My little brother has a job at the movie theater.

Which means I get free movies. Awesomeness. I thought I'd write down what I thought about each of the movies I have seen, while taking advantage of his benefits.

No spoilers except for Mr. Brooks.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Totally freaking awesome! First of all the Action is great as always. There is the subtle and not so subtle humor that is found throughout the series. It does tie up the first two movies in a satisfactory way, while leaving room for a sequel, in a way that allows them to drop the series or make a sequel depending on what they want to do. It does not demand a sequel, but it allows for one.

Also the plot twists are unexpected and satisfying. For those who have not seen the movie, I'll just say this, if you thought you knew who these characters were, you are sorely mistaken.

The only downsides for me is that while the action is intense, it does tend to go on. The main battle of the movie feels like half the film. And while funny, Jack isn't as "Jacky".

Mr. Brooks-MINOR SPOILERS READ AT OWN RISK!!!!


Some disturbing stuff. A great serial killer movie, but VERY VERY DISTURBING. Kids should not see this movie. What I found facinating is that the main character is indeed addicted to killing, but hates it about himself. He is not the average off the wall killer you see in so many movies. He hates what he does and Tries desparately to stop. A very tragic story.

SPOILERS OVER CONTINUE READING SAFELY

Spider Man 3

Just plain cool. It does a great job of finishing the Peter/Harry storyline. Black spiderman is a facinating character, and Venom is just plain wicked.

Only downside is if you are not fond of complex storylines, this one has one. I thought it was great though.

MORE MOVIES LATER
