The Alamo


2.7/4 STARS

This is a pretty descent movie. It's pretty realistic
and entertaining. It's also interesting because it's based on real events in history. I'm also a sucker for watching and learning about war so I'm a little biased. It's about 200 men who sacrificed themselves defending a small fort in Texas for 13 days against the entire Mexican army. They were led by 3 famous men: William Travis, James Bowie and Davy Crockett. Their bravery at the Alamo gave Sam Houston and his army of Texans the ability to win the war. I would recommend this movie for people who like war type movies and inspiring movies, and people who like history.

V For Vendetta


3.2/4 STARS

This is a good movie. It has awesome fighting and good acting. Natalie Portman is good in it. V is an awesome character.
It's very interesting and has an entertaining plot. It's based in the future, and a girl who keeps running into a masked hero named V and she becomes close to him. V is a freedom fighter seeking to get revenge on people that have wronged him and many other. There is a smart detective trying to stop V from starting his revolution. The detective soon finds out a lot more about his side of the fight. This movie has bad language and violence. I would recommend this movie for teens and older.

Robin Hood


3.4/4 STARS

This is an awesome and entertaining movie. It has very good acting and good fighting. Russell Crowe was awesome and so was Cate Blanchett. It also has a couple funny parts. It kind of shows how he becomes Robin Hood.
I hope there will be a second one, because it makes it look like there will be a second one. Little John was awesome in this one too, as was Friar Tuck. This movie is about Robin Hood and his life before he becomes the "Hood". It shows how he meets all his friends and the people made famous from the story. He helps rally England to stop France from invading. I would recommend this movie for teens and older.

JORDAN SAYS: Hope There's A 2nd One!

Forrest Gump


3.7/4 STARS

This is an awesome movie. It has just about everything you'd want in a movie. It's funny, has a little action, its very entertaining and interesting. It has a lot of stuff that's happened in American history but they do add some stuff to it. This movie is also deep and has good meaning. It's kind of touching at times. Tom Hanks was amazing in it. It's about
a guy who tells his life story and all that he has accomplished even though he's "dumb". It shows how loving he is and all the adventures he goes on. I would recommend this movie for teens and older.

A League Of Their Own


2.7/4 STARS

This is a pretty good and enjoyable movie. It's good to watch with your family. It has pretty descent acting and is a good story. Tom Hanks is really good in it. It's basically about the beginning of an all girls baseball league. The main girls team is coached by a washed up and drunk former pro baseball player. Together they change each other and America. I recommend this for all ages especially with your family.

Brick



3.8/4 STARS

This movie is absolutely amazing. It has awesome dialogue. It's extremely smart and super entertaining and fun to watch. It's super original. It also has some funny parts in it. It's about a boy in high school who is kind of a loner but he knows everything that goes on.
When the girl he loves ends up dead, he tries to find out who did it and why they did it. He gets one of his friends to help him find out. He meets new people and experiences new things. This movie has bad language and some drug use. I would recommend this movie for teens and young adults. It's one of the best.

JORDAN SAYS: Old School Detective Movie In Present Day Time = Awesome

A Series Of Unfortunate Events


2.2/4 STARS

This is an okay movie. It has some funny parts and it's pretty entertaining. Of course, Jim Carrey is funny in it.
It has a pretty interesting story so the books might be pretty cool. It's about 3 orphans and a guy who wants there enormous fortune. The guy keeps trying to get them and taking out whoever gets in his way. I would recommend this movie for kids or people that read the books.

JORDAN SAYS: Awesome Name = Lemony Snicket

Green Street Hooligans


3/4 STARS

This is a good and fun movie. It's super entertaining and interesting. It's bad to the bone. Really hardcore fighting. It makes you want to join the fight. Once again I'm biased because I've lived in England but I really like this movie. It's also got my boy Frodo ( Elijah Wood). It's about an American college student who goes to visit his sister in England and ends up joining a soccer (football as the rest of the world says) firm. They get into fights with other firms and eventually it gets deadly. This movie has bad language and harsh violence. I recommend this movie for teens and young adults.

A Cinderella Story


1.9/4 STARS

I really don't like this movie at all and I will never watch it again. However I can see how some little girls like this movie. It's basically the story of Cinderella in present day time. I don't recommend this movie unless you are a little girl that likes cheesy love stories.

JORDAN SAYS: If Cinderella Couldn't Get Worse

A Bug's Life


2.6/4 STARS

This is a pretty good kids movie. I think it's good for what it is. It's pretty entertaining and interesting to watch.
An ant hires warrior bugs to help defend his colony from grasshoppers. The warriors turned out to be circus performers. I would recommend this movie for kids.

A Beautiful Mind


3.3/4 STARS

This is an awesome true story.
It's very entertaining and its an interesting story. It has some funny parts too. Russell Crowe was awesome in it, one of my favorite acting performances. It's about the genius John Nash and his life and how he develops psychological problems. I would recommend this movie for teens and older.

JORDAN SAYS: Russell Crowe Is Awesome!

Reservoir Dogs


3.2/4 STARS

This is a great movie. It's really intense and has really good acting. It's super entertaining for basically being in the same place the whole time.
It's a really smart movie and has a great twist in it. This is basically about a group of criminals who try and pull off a job but are ambushed by police. They figure out that one of them is a snitch, but who? They spend the rest of the movie trying to find out who it is. This movie has harsh language and harsh blood and violence. I would recommend this movie for teens and young adults.

JORDAN SAYS: Great Twist

The Big Lebowksi


3.1/4 STARS

This is a funny and entertaining film.
I laughed out loud a couple of times. John Goodman was amazing in it. It's about the "Dude" and his bowling friends and they go on a journey with all kinds of characters, kidnapping and a group of Russians. This has bad language, and some nudity. i would recommend this movie for teens and young adults.

JORDAN SAYS: The "Dude" Abides.

101 Dalmations


2.5/4 STARS

I personally will probably never watch this movie again, but for a kids movie it's pretty good. It will keep you somewhat entertained and is enjoyable. This is about a husband and wife with two dogs that had 15 puppies. Then Cruella De Vil takes the puppies, then the dog parents must find their babies. I would recommend this movie for kids or parents who watch it with their kids.

Gattaca


3/4 STARS

This is a pretty good and entertaining film. Jude Law and Ethan Hawke are very good in it.
It's pretty inspiring and it keeps you entertained. It's based in the future and it's about a guy who is not aloud in space because of his heart so he trades identities with someone else so that he can go to space. I would recommend this movie for teens and older.

17 Again


2/4 STARS

This is not very good. It's a lot better than I thought it would be though. I actually didn't hate Zac Efron in it. This movie has some bad lines but it does have some funny and awkward parts in it. It also has a pretty good message throughout it. It's about a guy who was big and popular in high school and could have gone to college for basketball but he chose to marry his high school sweetheart instead. He now is in his 30's and hates his life.
He then has a chance to be 17 again and tries to make his life better.

JORDAN SAYS: Jim Gaffigan!

Kill Bill 2


3.1/4 STARS

This is another good movie by Quentin Tarantino. It's part 2 of the movies and is just as good as the 1st one. This has pretty good acting and a good soundtrack. It's about a lady getting revenge on a group pf criminals that have wronged her. This movie as bad language and very bad violence and blood. I would recommend this movie for teens and young adults.


JORDAN SAYS: Feel Sorry For Bill

Kill Bill


3.1/4 STARS

This is a good movie by the great Quentin Tarantino. It has pretty good acting and has a cool soundtrack. I also like the way it's filmed.
Uma Thurman is awesome in this. She kicks some major butt. This is about a lady who is getting revenge on a group of fighters that have wronged her. This movie has bad language and very harsh violence and blood. I would recommend this movie for teens and young adults.

Princess Mononoke


4/4 STARS

This is one of my all time favorites. It's my 2nd favorite from Hayao Miyazaki. This movie has awesome animation and has an awesome story. The characters are really cool and Ashitaka is bad to the bone!
It's very entertaining and fun for the whole family. This is about a guy who gets cursed and is searching throughout the lands to find how to cure it. He gets involved with saving a town and many people and animals of the forest. I would recommend this movie for kids and older.

JORDAN SAYS: Ashitaka!

16 Blocks


2.8/4 STARS

This is a pretty good and entertaining film. It has pretty good acting and is pretty suspenseful.
Mos Def is good in it and he's pretty funny. This is about a cop who is transporting a prisoner to the court for him to testify against cops that are trying to kill him. I would recommend this movie for teens and older but it's not one you want to watch over and over.

JORDAN SAYS: People Can Change

Saving Private Ryan


3.4/4 STARS

This is a great war movie. It has good acting and awesome action. It's very realistic and shows what war is really like. Tom Hanks does a very good job in it along with a lot of other good famous actors. I really like all of the characters as well.
It's about a group of soldiers that survived D-Day and are looking for a Private Ryan to send him back home. This movie has some bad language and very harsh blood and violence. I would recommend this movie for teens and older who aren't disgusted by blood and war.

JORDAN SAYS: Shows How Crazy WWII Was!
