The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest

        Noomi Rapace returns as Steig Larsson tough as hell girl, Lisbeth Salander in the third and final installment of the Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest. This movie picks up right where the second movie left off with the tattooed heroine fighting for her life after a bloody altercation with her father. This movie takes place with Lisbeth fighting for her name and life with a change of scenery then the other movies this one mostly takes place at a hospital and in court room as people are trying to silence Lisbeth because she knows too much and they need to silence what she knows and they will stop at nothing to do it. The twists and turns make this movie so captivating that you can’t turn away. Death threats, imprisonment, and hacking all come in to play as people are using all of their resources to make sure Lisbeth and the truth that is endangering her are told so she can be set free.
            This movie was much better than The Girl who played with Fire which was the second installment; in that the directing style was much better it looked like they were actually paying attention with the camera angles and cared about this film much more. I am sad that these movies have came to an end, because these movies were so captivating  with the action, the computer hacking, stealing, journalism  and that Lisbeth Salander was very unconventional and we do not see this type of person or character in many movies. I said it many times and I will say it again these movies are so good and I really recommend that everybody see them and also read the books. Look for the American version out late next year.

Inception

Inception was a mind-bending movie that had all of the twist and turns of a great movie we all come to expect. But this movie had more of it with a plot that that no movie I ever saw had, the special effects were fantastic they looked life like and it would at times make you feel that it wasn’t a movie but like something that was actually taking place in front of you. The cast of Inception was casted to perfection, everyone fitted in to this perfectly and the acting was great. This movie made you think the whole time and for some people that would be a stretch, but if you do not mind using your brain at the movies this would be a good choice for you.
The director Christopher Nolen has had some crazy movie in the past such as Memento,   The Prestige and Insomnia. So you would know what to expect, when you see his name pop up in the movie and you would have to think if you could really digest his kind of movie and be able to follow along. This movie I feel is going to go on and win many awards and go down in history as one of the best films of 2010, because of the great imagery and the way the cast pulled you in which is hard to do nowadays with some movies a twelve year old could write. The one of the many things that I liked about this movie was the actors and acting, I would say more of what I liked but I don’t want to give anything away to the people, who have not seen this movie,

Kinght and Day.

                If you are looking for a movie with no substance, little plot and do not wish to think go and rent this movie.  This movie should have not of even been made for many reasons such as  there is great actors in this movie that just made a bad chooses in picking this movie like Viola Davis, Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz  and Peter Sarsgaurd. Many times I did not even know what the plot was about and had to sit there and say to my-self “this movie is all over the place”.  Knight and Day was over the top and not believable and the humor was ok I did laugh on occasion, the action of the movie was great and Tom Curise and Cameron Diaz chemistry together on screen was great you could feel that they both liked each other and could be a real couple that was the only thing that was good.
                The unbelievable plot centered around Cruise that was a F.B.I agent that went rouge while protecting young scientist.  Cameron Diaz’s character comes on Cruise’s characters schemes that could have easily been writing out and the movie could have still made sense, but they just had to have a character that would lighten the mood and who we all could laugh at. A cheap way to shorten the movie is to have Cameron Diaz’s character being drugged by Tom’s character many times while things were still going on. All we saw were glimpses the whole time she was out of it and when she woke up they would be half way around the world how did they get there? We don‘t know. Shit was a skewed. If you are looking for a cheap thrill go rent this movie but if you’re looking for greatness go and see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
