Movie Review - Reservoir Dogs

Hey guys, I recently watched the movie Reservoir Dogs and I'm here to give a review on it. It's a crime film, and more importantly, the debut of director Quentin Tarantino. The movie is pretty engaging in that it shows events leading up to and immediately after, but not during the execution of an armed robbery of a jewelery store. The movie opens with the group of men eating breakfast at a diner right before they go do the robbery, and right after the opening credits it shows one man driving a car with another man lying in the back seat, bleeding to death. I really enjoyed how the story was told, with a combination of flashbacks and conversation describing what lead up to and transpired during the robbery. The characters deduce pretty early on that there's a good chance that one of them was an inside cop, and there's a lot of suspense built as details are shared between characters and the pieces of the puzzle fall together. There's also a fair amount of action and intense standoffs, which also contribute to the suspense of the movie. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this movie to fans of Tarantino's other movies, as well as people who enjoy crime movies with a lot of suspense.

Movie Review - Tropic Thunder

Alright guys I'm back with another movie review, this time it's Tropic Thunder. Released in 2008, Tropic Thunder follows a group of actors filming a Vietnam war movie that are dropped off in the middle of nowhere and have to find the soldier in them to find their way back. It's a pretty funny movie with Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. that pokes fun at the movie industry and actors that take themselves too seriously. Robert Downey Jr. is one of the funniest guys in the movie in my opinion, as his character in the movie is playing a black character in the Tropic Thunder movie that they're filming, and it gets pretty funny because there's another character that's acting in the movie that actually is black. Overall I'd definitely recommend it, it's a great action-comedy.

Movie Review - V For Vendetta

Alright guys, today I'm going to be giving my review on the movie V For Vendetta, starring Hugo Weaving as V and Natalie Portman as Evey. I watched this movie Friday night, and I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot. I had not read the graphic novels before watching it, but I think I might go back now and check them out. Anyway, the movie is about a guy in a Guy Fawkes mask that goes by the name of V and runs around fighting an oppressive government. It starts with him blowing up the Old Bailey on Guy Fawkes Night (November 5th), and then the movie follows him around for a year while he does some other stuff and attempts to blow up Parliament the next Guy Fawkes Night. I think the acting was pretty good, as well as the fight scenes and stuff. It also had some good messages for the audience. Overall I'd recommend that you see this movie, it's definitely one of the best films of our time.
