Movie reviews and critics

While efforts have been put in to make my movie reviews as neutral as possible, you can get more blazing reviews and critics from Roger Ebert, Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb.
Roger Ebert is a Pulitzer Prize winner film critic. He has also compiled his movie reviews into several books.
Rotten Tomatoes divides its review with a red tomato sign if it's a good movie or a green splat sign if it sucks.
IMDb in the meanwhile depends on its readers to put in their comments.

Anonymous

Anonymous questions the true identity of William Shakespeare.There are contentions that the son of an illiterate, provincial glover will not be able to write plays as brilliantly as someone who has connections with royalty. Therefore, many theories have arisen about who he really was and one of them is he was Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. This movie argues for the 17th Earl's case.

In Time

If the world population is getting out of hand then this movie suggests that in the future a human's life is limited to 25 years . They will get an additional year to buy time to live forever. Therefore, the rich will be able to afford this but the poor need to beg, borrow and steal. A life clock is imbedded into each person's arm. Now, Will Salas comes in with being wrongly accused of murdering a century old man with another 100 years in his life bank. He was talking to the man when he fell asleep and found himself with an extra 100 years in his life clock. Will was unable to stop the century-old man from leaping to his death.

Is Will able to disentangle himself?

The Rum Diary

This movie is based on Hunter S. Thompson's novel. During the 1950s, journalist Paul Kemp moved from New York to Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, "The San Juan Star". Puerto Rico at that time has a number of American entrepreneurs who are keen to convert the country into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. Sanderson is one of them who is involved in shady property development deals. He recruits Paul to write about his latest unsavoury scheme. Hence, Paul now has to decide whether he is to write as he is hired to do or speak the truth.

Don't Be Afraid to the Dark

A 10-year old girl, Sally just moved into a mansion with her father, Alex and his girlfriend, Kim. Alex is the type of father who is too busy with his work whereas Kim gives more attention to Sally. Now this story revolves around a lonely girl who hears voices in the basement and nobody believes her. Especially her father who invested his money into the mansion so that he can renovate and sell it at a higher price to put himself in a better financial position. Expect some good scare for in time for Halloween.

Paranormal Activity 3

The movie is about 2 kids, Katie and Kristi, who befriend an imaginery friend in their house. The filming is like the first two shows where it is someone holding the camera and recording their activities for family consumption. Since its opening Paranormal Activity 3 has been grossing $52.6m in revenue. This phenomenon is scary as it beats the PA1 and PA2.

There are bumps and false alarms so be prepared to sit through and try to scrutinise if you can spot "it" in all scenes.

Trespass

In a private, wealthy community, priority is placed on security and no exception is made for the Miller family's estate. Behind their pristine walls and manicured gardens, Kyle (Nicolas Cage), a fast-talking businessman, has entrusted the mansion's renovation to his stunning wife, Sarah (Nicole Kidman). But between making those big decisions and keeping tabs on their defiant teenage daughter, Sarah often finds herself distracted by a young, handsome worker at their home. Nothing is what it seems, and it will take a group of cold-blooded criminals led by Elias, who have been planning a vicious home invasion for months, to bring the Miller family together. When they storm the manor, everyone is tangled up in betrayal, deception, temptation and scheming. Kyle, Sarah and Avery will take the ultimate risk to make it out with their lives -- and their family -- intact.

Dolphin Tale

This movie is inspired by an amazing true story about a dolphin which gets entangled in a crab trap and loses its tail. She is rescued by a boy, Sawyer, and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is given the name Winter. A brilliant prostethics doctor (played by Morgan Freeman) then finds a way to fix Winter with a prosthetic tail. In the meantime, Sawyer forms a bond with the Winter.

In the movie, the real Winter plays itself. It is a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people who have been touched by her remarkable story of recoverability and rehabilitation.

Ides of March

Stephen (Ryan Gosling) is a razor-sharp, rising star political media consultant working on Pennsylvania Governor Mike Morris' (George Clooney) campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. Steve-o has only one man above him, overall campaign manager Paul (Philip Seymour Hoffman). The two consult each other daily. The governor has a single chief competitor, an Arkansas senator with his own astute adviser, Tom (Paul Giamatti). At the moment, the Ohio primary is looming and the staff is working out of Cincinnati. One of the governor's lower-level workers is beautiful Molly (Evan Rachel Wood), the daughter of the present head of the National Democratic Party. Only 20, she is just learning the ropes. One day, she makes a pass at Stephen and he responds positively. But, he makes it clear to her that politics is his passion and, especially, Mike Morris, his idol. Indeed, Morris is handsome, smart, and appears to speak sincerely and clearly to potential voters. Yet, very soon after their first encounter, Molly drops a bombshell on Stephen. It is a stunning piece of news, one that could knock the earth off its axis. Also, amazingly, Tom has been courting Stephen to "switch sides" while a respected, determined journalist, Ida (Marisa Tomei) is eager for any and all campaign stories. A cauldron of conflicting genuine and perceived realities is brewing. What will be the result? This is a fine film, based on a stage play, and directed by Mr. Clooney. While the story is more predictable in nature, the script has some great lines and Clooney's direction is quite, quite admirable. This is particularly true of the performances he draws from the cast, with Gosling, Hoffman, Giamatti, Tomei, Clooney himself, and especially Wood giving great turns.

This movie will remind you of  the upcoming presidential campaign in the United States.
