Movie Review: Casino Royale

Casino Royale (2006)
Starring: Daniel Craig and Eva Green
Characters: James Bond and Vesper Lynd
Directed by: Martin Campbell
Tagline: Everyone has a past. Every legend has a beginning. Discover how James...became Bond.
Grade: A+

Most James Bond movies are pretty cool...I mean, he's James Bond. But this one surpasses them all by so much, it's not even funny. And Daniel Craig is the best Bond by a long, long shot. You only have to watch a couple of minutes to see that. Basically...Bond kicks butt...and girls fall in love with him. The end. :D

Movie Review: I, Robot

I, Robot (2004)
Starring: Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan
Characters: Del Spooner and Susan Calvin
Directed by: Alex Proyas
Tagline: Laws are made to be broken.
Grade: A

This movie is pretty awesome. Face it, anything with Will Smith is. He's just awesome. Anyway, this movie is set in the future, I can't remember what year, and in the future everyone in the world has robots that do everything for them. (How they're not fat, I will never know.) Detective Spooner doesn't like robots at all, they creep him out and he's totally against them, which results in him getting kicked off the force. Before he is removed, though, his friend (a scientist named Dr. Alfred Lanning, who is in charge of designing the robots) commits suicide. He and Calvin find a robot hiding in his office. The only problem is that Dr. Lanning has programmed him so that he doesn't have to obey the three laws. (Law 1: A robot cannot harm a human or, through inaction, let a human come to harm. Law 2: A robot must obey orders from a human, unless it contradicts with the first law. Law 3: A robot must save himself, unless it contradicts with either of the first two laws.) So, he's super strong and can do anything. They can't figure out why Dr. Lanning would create a robot like this until they start investigating his death. Then, all of the ugly pieces come together to create one awesome fight scene....Will Smith against a bunch of undefeatable robots?! Heck yeah! Good movie?? Yes. Oscar worthy? No. Do not watch this movie expecting to feel great, but do expect to go on one heck of a ride.

Movie Review: Terminator Salvation

Terminator Salvation (2009)
Starring: Christian Bale and Sam Worthington
Characters: John Connor and Marcus Wright
Directed by: McG
Tagline: The end begins
Grade: A++

As anyone that knows me...knows...I love Terminator. Everything rocks...well except the third one. This movie completely makes up for the third one. It's awesome! The only one to take place in the future, the entire movie is a non stop trill ride. Starting with the awesome scene with John Connor all the way to the end, it's some of the best movie stuff...period. Another bright spot of the movie is Anton Yelchin as the young Kyle Reese. He's AMAZING! And so cute. He was perfect for the character and several times, he looked just like Michael Biehn as the original. And the Arnold cameo was awesome, of course. You couldn't have Terminator without him. Very surprising, very cool, and very...Terminator-y. :)
