Wanted


0.9/4 STARS

This is was one of my least favorite movies I've seen for awhile. It was absolutely horrible. It was dumb and had bad acting. The story was horrible and very unrealistic. It was just dumb all around. It was basically about a guy who hates his life and is found by a certain group of people and they train him to be an assassin and curve bullets.
This movie has some bad language and brief nudity. I wouldn't recommend this movie for anyone!

JORDAN SAYS: Wanted......For Most Ridiculous Movie Of The Year.

The Wrestler


2.8/4 STARS

This is a pretty good movie. It is a descent story and is pretty entertaining. Mickey Rourke is awesome in it though.
It does have some inappropriate parts in it and a lot of drug use and nudity. It's basically about a guy who used to be one of the best wrestlers and is getting old and is still trying to do it, he is barely making enough money. This movie has bad language and drug use and nudity. I would recommend this movie for teens and young adults, but it's not one you could watch again and again.

JORDAN SAYS: Mickey Rourke Is Bad To The Bone!!!!

Pulp Fiction


3.5/4 STARS

This is another great movie by Quentin Tarantino. I think it's one of his best movies. It's really interesting and entertaining. It's also funny at times. It has really good acting and really great dialogue. It's about a bunch of different people that are involved in the mob. There's a lot of different stories that are all involved with each other. This movie has very bad language and blood and some sexuality. I would recommend this movie for teens and young adults.


JORDAN SAYS: Tarantino Does It Again!

Almost Heroes


1.9/4 STARS

This is not a very good movie. It's somewhat entertaining, and has some funny parts. Of course
, Chris Farley is hilarious and Matthew Perry is his same old character. It's kind of a stupid and ridiculous movie. It's about a guy who gets a crew to go with him to try and beat Lewis and Clark to the Pacific. I would only recommend this movie to Chris Farley fans.

JORDAN SAYS: Almost Descent

Stealing Harvard


1.7/4 STARS

This is not a good movie at all. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen but it is bad. There are some funny things about it, but not enough to even make it descent.
I do like Jason Lee a lot and he is okay in this. Of course, Tom Green is ridiculous in it. He has a couple funny parts. It's just kind of a stupid movie. It's about a guy who has $30,000, but needs to give it to his niece for college and buy his girl a house. He doesn't know what to do, so he asks his friend for advice. He convinces him to commit robbery to get it. I would not recommend this movie to anyone, unless you are completely bored and it's on TV.

JORDAN SAYS: Stealing Jordan's Time, Not Stealing Harvard

Pan's Labyrinth


3.2/4 STARS

This is a good and interesting movie. It's a very creative movie. It has good acting and a good story. I usually hate when the whole movie is not in English but I didn't mind it at all.
It has a lot of great characters. Guillermo del Toro has an awesome imagination. It's really a beautiful movie. It's about a girl who is forced to live with her new stepfather in a remote military base. Ofelia loves out her own fable as she meets new monsters and she meets Pan, at a nearby labyrinth. Pan gives her three tasks to complete that will reveal her true identity. This movie has bad language and violence. I would recommend this movie for teens and older.

JORDAN SAYS: A Great Fairy Tale

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.

JORDAN SAYS: Remember The Alamo!

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.


JORDAN SAYS: There's No Crying In Baseball!

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.


JORDAN SAYS: Stand Your Ground!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
