Benny & Joon


Starring : Johnny Depp , Mary Stuart Masterson , and Aidan Quinn
Genre : Romantic Comedy
Rated : PG

Discription : Joon ( Masterson ) is a little unbalanced . Sometimes , without warning , her sweat nature gives way to odd behavior - including a penchant for setting fires ! She lives with her older brother Benny (Quinn) who has spent his life taking care of her since their parents died . One night while playing a poker game with unusual stakes , Joon loses her hand ... and wins Sam ( Depp) , a whimsical misfit who soon charms his way into Joon's heart .

My thoughts : I think this movie is cute . I know that's weird to think about a movie but if you haven't saw it yet watch it and then you will know why I said that . I think the acting is really good and the movie tells a good story . There are tons of funny partsin it too . If you haven't saw this you should go rent it and then you will probably end up buying it like I did.

Now all Harry has to do is convince the dream girl he meets that he's an actual detective . And try not to stumble over the corpses as reel life abruptly gives way to the real .

My thoughts : I love this movie . It's hilariouse . The acting done by the actors in the movie is really good ( also incase you couldn't tell by now I'm a huge Robert Downey Jr. fan . Plus Val's acting is really good too . )
If you haven't seen this movie you should see it . It is well worth the money it takes to rent it .

When the witness protection program fails him . Lo has to protect himself with his only weapons - his hands .Determined to survive , he takes on Chicago's warring drug lords with the assistance of a renegade cop ( Powers Boothe ) and his partner ( Kate Hodge ) .

My thoughts : This is a awesome movie . It's full of action . If you are a fan of Brandon Lee or of martial arts movies then you need to check it out . The acting is really good . It tells a really good story and the fight scenes are amazing . It was this movie that made me a Brandon Lee fan not The Crow ( I'm not saying anything bad about the crow movie though because it's good too but that's a diffrent review for a diffrent day ) .

30 Days of Night


Genre : Horror
Starring : Josh Hartnett & Melissa George
Rated : R

Description : In a small Alaskan town , 30 days of night is a natural phenomenon . Very few outsiders visit , until a band of bloodthirsty , deathly pale vampires mark their arrival by savagely attacking sled dogs . But soon they find there are much more satisfying thirst-quenchers about : humans beings . One by one , the townspeople succomb to a living nightmare . but a small group survives - at least for now . The vampires use the dark to their advantage , and surviving this cold hell is a game of cat and mouse ... and screams.

My thoughts : Don't go into this movie expecting a whole lot because it isn't scary . I had high expectations of this movie and none of them were reached . The acting was ok but the plot didn't really make a lot of sense . I do think that the vampires in it were cool and that it would've probably made a good action movie but it just wasn't scary enough to be a horror film.

Less Than Zero


Starring : Andrew Mccarthy , Jami Gertz , and Robert Downey Jr.
Genre : Drama
Rated : R

Brief Description : In a spellbinding , dramatic performance , Robert Downey Jr. ( Chaplin ) portrays Julian , a Beverly Hills brat that has it all : looks , charm , smarts , a rich father - and a drug habit . His friend and girlfriend ( Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz ) are trying to help , but Julian's world is crumbling so fast , he might just take them down with him . The result is a compelling story of three kids who started out with everything ... and are about to wind up with less than zero .

My thoughts : I love this movie . Out of the movies I own it's my favorite . You really should see it if you haven't . The acting in this movie is amazing . The story line is really good . The ending almost made me cry . It's totally worth renting it if you haven't seen it . I would say it's worth buying but every one's movie taste isn't the same so I always recommend renting a movie before you buy it.
