As a fan of GI Joe as child, I wondered what a live GI Joe movie would be like , and now that it has finally happened, I must say I'm glad that the live action version of this film is unlike the animation series in reference to the costumes of the different characters. The live motion picture is more realistic because the characters had specialized uniforms within a formal military format. This film lived up to the hype. It is a quintessential blockbuster, marked by plenty of explosions and special effects, an entertaining fight scenes. The pace of this film was great. No lag. Non stop action. The dialogue in the script was not very sophisticated, but the script was not aiming for opulent dialogue. As an action movie, with great production, it did not disappoint. Unyielding entertainment. And the acting was sufficient for the nature of the film. According to metacritic.com the film received generally unfavorable reviews, and according to rottentomatoes.com the film received 32 fresh tomatoes to 53 rotten ones thus far. I liked it I thought it was great. I'll grade it an 85. Stay tuned movieporuim blogpsot.com. Oh! On a last note. I truly enjoyed the history that was provided about Snake Eyes, Duke, Ana, and the soon to be Cobra Commander.

I don't recall seeing any previews for this film. I went to see it because a friend from work mentioned it to me. Well after seeing the film, I was rather disappointed with the ending. But ending aside, the film was gory,creative, and semi suspenseful, with the most creative parts being the traps spawned by the killer, whom I would have liked to know more about. Some more history about the killer would have helped me understand his purpose more. Admittedly he was a semi charismatic killer, because the weird mask made him frightful to some extent. Overall it was OK I'll grade it a 75. Stay tuned, movieporium.blogspot.com.

The Orphan: They Fuck

Official Site: orphan-movie.warnerbros.com
Director(s): Jaume Collet-Serra
Writer(s):David Johnson, Alex Mace
Producer(s):Leonardo DiCaprio, Susan Downey, Jennifer Davisson Killoran, Joel Silver

Starring: Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Isabelle Fuhrman, CCH Pounder, Jimmy Bennett, Margo Martindale,(IMDb). R-123min.

This film definitely surprised me. When I saw the preview it appeared this film was simply another interesting psychological thriller about a maniacal child with an insatiable blood lust. But The Orphan was more than that, because it had an amazing but plausible twist.

The Orphan had a good pace. The scenes were well edited. The transition from one scene to the next flowed nicely, and that helped the plot remain pronounced, as the aim of the film was not lost. The scenes were relevant to the plot twist, and in retrospect once the plot twist is revealed you can fully understand the motives of the antagonist. That's probably the case with good plot twist films. According to metacritic.com the film earned mixed reviews, and rottentomatoes.com granted the film 26 fresh tomatoes to 33 rotten ones. I liked it. I'll grade it an 85.
