Anyone who has seen the Final Destination movies could tell they are full of blood and gore.
Basically, the theme of the story is still the same as the previous Final Destination movies but you have been warned by previous films and you know what to expect. Basically, the lead actor would be having a premonition of an accident and then later wakes up from that dream and realises everything’s happening the way he dreamt it. In this movie, the lead character is Nick O’Bannon. He had a premonition during the race car show that there will be a race-car crash. In his dreams the accident was horrific and a lot of people lost their lives. One had been decapitated while others had either been burned or crashed in the stampede or poked by falling debris. Upon waking up from that dream, Nick realize that his dream seems to be coming true and started to panic.

A movie that stars Grey’s Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl as a character named Abby who works as a producer and unfortunately is not very lucky in the romance department. Then there is the character of Gerard Butler, Mike Chadway who is a TV personality who promised his audience that he is going to spill all the ugly truths about what makes men & women tick. The two were teamed up by their boss and that’s when Abby is said to get an awakening.
The guy, Mike Chadway, is doing all sorts of antics so he could prove his theories about how men and women tick which eventually led to something else. Something that both of them did not expect at all.
Basically, this movie is another chick flick. Girlfriends should come and watch this film and have so much fun while guys might get sleepy watching it. It’s a fun movie to watch but it’s nothing very special really. It’s just like any other chick flicks out there with heartwarming endings that is actually quite predictable since the start.
No spoilers here but it’s really a fun movie to watch. It’s not bad at all and Katherine Heigl is just outrageously beautiful in the film.
The 6th Harry Potter movie is once again phenomenal. It may not really compare to the plot on the book but it’s still not that disappointing. No spoilers here as it’s still shown on in cinemas around the world. The movie is pretty good and it makes you want to watch the final movie of the Harry Potter series as the ending for the Half Blood Prince makes you ask a lot of questions as to what would be next for the 3 wizards of Hogwarts.
Hermione is indeed looking more and more beautiful as she gets older while Harry Potter and Weasley’s cuteness start to fade but the humor in Weasley’s character never fades and the pureness of heart of Harry lingers. It’s too bad that one great character in this movie had died. If you have read the book you’ll know who it is but there’s a big reason why that character died here and you’ll learn about it on the 7th Harry Potter movie.
All in all the movie is good and a must-see especially if you’re a Harry Potter fan. If you haven’t watched the 5th Harry Potter movie then you may get lost a bit but you’ll still find yourself on track after a short while. The best character in this movie is the antagonist Bellatrix Lestrange portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter is just perfect. She made the role exactly as how she is to be portrayed.

Did Sacha Baron Cohen do it again? His Borat movie was quite a success but with his new movie, Bruno, would he also get the same recognition? Well, watch the movie to find out. As it turns out the movie had reached the #1 at the box office for the week with $30.4 million and it beats Ice Age 3 and Transformers for the weak but then it’s popularity drops drastically and you may wonder why.
The reason is, you wouldn’t want to watch the movie again afterwards. The word of mouth is indeed absent as it doesn’t get much recommendation from those who had watched the film on its first day. Unfortunately the movie is very disappointing. It is not at all funny and it just gets irritating too.
Basically the movie stars Bruno who is a gay fashionmonger who went to the United States in a quest to become a star. Its trying to mock some personalities and it can get a bit humorous at times but it is incredibly unsuccessful in more ways than one. It’s like watching a movie with a gay character who just tries to run amuck with a storyline that doesn’t have much substance at all.

Another exciting adventure for Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf) as the decepticon forces had once again returned to Earth and wanted to hold him captive as he had learned the ancient truth about the origins of Transformers. Humankind was once again in harm’s way but thanks to the friendly Transformers led by Optimus Prime, the decepticons can’t quickly take over the world as Optimus Prime joined forces with the armies to fight against them.
The fight scenes are great and it’s really worth watching on cinema. For those who waited for Transformers after the 2007 film Transformers will not be dismayed. Shia LaBeouf is still as good looking as he was on the first film and Megan Fox is as hot as ever.
Optimus Prime in this movie had grown in size at the end part when he was brought back to life and it’s a must-see part of the movie. Who would’ve thought robots can also sacrifice themselves to save another robot and for the good of humanity?
All in all, it’s a perfect brew of action, drama, comedy and romance in just one movie. It will surely be a blockbuster as many more transformers fans line up at their local cinema to watch this awesome movie.
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen gets an A+ for special effects, script, music and design.
Anyone who has seen the Final Destination movies could tell they are full of blood and gore.
