Shattered (2007)
9/10
The definition of a suspenseful thriller!
13 August 2008
This movie will have you too nervous to guess what will happen next. Although some of it is fairly predictable, your average movie goer will not pick up on it. I loved this film because I rented it knowing nothing about it other than what the back of the rental case said, and that is the best way to go about watching this film. Sometimes I get a little weary about renting a Pierce Brosnan film because all I can think of is Bond, James Bond. But he does a great job in this one. Maria Bello and Gerard Butler have great chemistry and are a very believable couple and add a terrific performance. The only thing I don't understand is why this movie has two titles: Butterfly on a Wheel and Shattered

The Happening (2008)
5/10
come again?
13 August 2008
This movie can be summed up very easily, interesting but lacking plot. M Night spent too much of his budget on casting Wahlberg to afford sufficient special effects to give this movie a cleaner look. With as poor as the effects in this movie are it makes you wonder what they spent the 60 million dollar budget on, they clearly could not have spent anywhere near that The Matrix had a 63 million dollar budget...

This is a suspenseful thriller with a mediocre plot. By far it is M Night's worst movie. There is a reason why this movie was written, directed, and produced by him, because no one else was willing to take a chance with it and after seeing the film you will understand why.

Seeing this movie in the theater once isn't enough

Christopher Nolan has out done himself again. It is now safe to say that he is one of the greatest directors of all time. With the likes of Memento, Prestige, Batman Begins, and now IMDb's #1 movie. Every where Dark Knight is mentioned you can only hear good things to say about this movie and it still isn't enough. I've already seen the movie twice and by the time it leaves the box office there will probably be a third. I've only pulled the box office hat-trick a few times and oddly enough one of them was for Spiderman. I can admit as most have that Heath Ledger's Oscar worthy performance made this movie and have a good idea on what costumes Halloween stores should be stocking up on come October.
