A father and son walk across a post apocalyptic wasteland in search for food shelter and hope. They only have each other, and must face the impending danger head on. Love is the strongest bond of all, it can sometimes be the only thing that will get you through.

The Man: I told the boy when you dream about bad things happening, it means you're still fighting and you're still alive. It's when you start to dream about good things that you should start to worry.

This was the one film in all of 2009 that I wanted to be good, and it was as perfect as I thought it would be. The film was exactly like the book with a few more wife flashbacks, but they made them work. They added more emotion to the story, and made you understand the pain of the man and his boy, they made you really feel like you could have been that man. The characters had no names, which to me is the beauty of what this film was, they didnt need names, it was the story, the emotions and how it could have been anyone that was enough to capture the audience.

Mortensen was perfect, exactly the way I imagined the man caring for his boy, honest, sincere, the ultimate provider. I thought Viggo gave his best performance to date, and that is saying a lot considered the three brilliant performances he gave in each of the LOTR films. But this time around Viggo was emotionally attached to his peformance, he was working with another brilliant actor in Kodi Smit-McPhee (Who will get an oscar nom hopefully). Viggo became the man, it seemed like Kodi was his son, it didnt seem like a movie because you were taken away by both performances. You couldnt help but feel emotional during some of the scenes in the film. I would hope Viggo could get a nom as well, but I will settle for Kodi, I just thought the boy would be even harder to portray then the man. Kodi needed to be believable, he needed to have the right emotions and that is difficult for an actor at the age of 13, but he nailed it, he was acting right alongside Viggo, and they complemented each other perfectly.

You see The Road may not be the action film of 2009 or as good as other films you may have seen, but really, if you want an emotional love story, between a father and his son this film is beautiful. The best film I have seen in a long time. Brilliance.

Bella Swan: Dear Alice, I wish I had your real address. I wish I could tell you about Jake. He makes me feel better. I mean, he makes me feel alive. The hole in my chest... well, when I'm with Jake it's like it's almost healed for a while. But even Jake can't keep the dreams away

After Edward leaves her because of a freak accident that nearly took her life, Bella isnt sure what life is anymore. She is lost without Edward, and she feels like locking herself in her room is what she needs to do. She then realized during a night out that an adrenaline rush is what can help her see a vision of Edward. Bella comes up with a plan in which she asks Jacob to help her build a dirt bike. Yes Bella uses Jacob just to get a vision of poor pale faced Edward Cullen who left her. Jacob then reveals that he cant be with Bella for fear that he will hurt her. It seems like everyman she choses could kill her at any moment. Finally Bella is able to see Jacob for what he truly is, a werewolf who kills vampires, but cannot kill the Cullens do to some treaty. Then Alice returns and tells Bella that Edward Cullen has gone to the Volturi and is going to reveal himself because he thinks that she died. Bella is keen on rushing to his side even against the warnings from Jacob that Edward wasnt there for her when she needed him.

Ok, now to actually talk about the film. I can honestly say I didnt expect much, and anything that went right was a pleasant surprise. All though I will also state that not much went right with this film. Bella was moody, and Stewart was terrible, she had the same annoying expression the entire time Edward was gone. She did a terrible job of fliritng with Jacob, she would pull away, lure him in, scowl terribly and then smile, lean in for a liplock and scowl again. Terrible, I mean Kristen is a talented actor, she has shown the entire world that when she did Into the Wild, but I dont think Bella Swan is the role she should have taken. I dont think doing Twilight was the right career choice for any of these actors.

Jacob Black: It's because of him, isn't it? Look, I know what he did to you. But Bella, I would never, ever do that. I won't ever hurt you. I promise. I won't let you down. You can count on me.

When I read Twilight I liked the character of Jacob Black and I actually liked the way Lautner approached playing the character. He did an alright job with what he was given in Twilight. Then they talked about replacing him for New Moon because he wasnt buff enough. He gained almost 30 pounds of muscle and took on the challenge of having a bigger part in a film that many young girls were really excited to see. I dont want to say that Lautner is a good actor, because Im afraid Twilight wont be able to showcase his talent. I do believe that down the road, given the right role, given a few years to grow up he will be a good actor. You can see it in him. Jacob unlike Edward in the books and films originally comes of as sincere. Edward is constantly and relentlessly trying to push her away, but Jacob wants to be close to her, he wants her to rely on him, and as much as he thinks he should stay away he shows that he is human and that he cant. You see S. Meyer is trying to give us a realistic love between Edward and Bella but by making him push her away she ultimately shows the audience that Jacob is the better of the two male leads. As far as males perspective goes, you can almost feel sorry for Jacob because any male who tries to win the affection of a girl and is rejected as felt his pain. Some may say yeah he is Taylor Lautner, big buff 17 year old any girl would be happy to date Jacob, but clearly from watching this film you can see Jacob feels pain just like any average joe who walks the street. That is why Taylors performance was the most enjoyable in a film franchise that really needs to get better acting.

Edward didnt play a major part in the film, he appeared mostly through flashbacks and that allowed Robert Pattinson sit back and take it easy. When Twilight was all said and done, everyone was in love with Pattinson but now that New Moon has come out, and Lautner was given his chance to shine, I really feel as though Pattinson cant act at all. I gave him credit after Twilight, but after New Moon he just seems to be a lazy actor.

The CGI wolves were good, and many people knew they would be. With a bigger budget and fans really wanting to a see a good revealing of Jacob as a werewolf we knew they would put the effort into it. I just didnt think they would look as cool as they did. The wolves were huge, bigger then an average animal, and they didnt overdo the action, they only used it when they needed to.

I was impressed to some degree with Lautner but as film and as series these films are just average. There is no reason people are talking about Eclipse becoming the best film ever at the box office. As I did enjoy Lautners performance his performance was nowhere near the performances featured in the box office weekend champ The Dark Knight. Lautner, will never match Bale or Ledger, and for fans of Twilight to expect there precious Eclipse to be considered good because it could win box office is an understatment. The Dark Knight is the best film of the decade and Twilight is nowhere near as awesome or thought provoking. Twilight will remain slightly above average, New Moon slightly better then Twilight, and perhaps Eclipse could be the same. but Breaking Dawn will bomb at the box office if they dont R rate it. They are going to cut the major scenes necessary for that film to be anywhere close to the book.

You see Twilight fans, you might be impressed that Taylor and Rob get half naked but really is that what going to the cinema should be all about. I have heard girls state that they wont compare either Twilight or New Moon to there novel companions for fear of having to admit they are bad films or average films. I will give this film a 3/5 because of Lautner, and my liking for the character of Jacob Black, not because Lautner can take his shirt off, but because that doesnt make the acting good. You see fans, try and identify something with these characters other than the fact that the leading male actors are constantly walking in the rain half naked.

A decent film, nothing more nothing less, take it face value and stop praising it for something it isnt.

This movie was the best movie of 2006, it was a story that has happened and was a movie that showed the true effects of the diamond industry and what they do to get the diamonds oveer to a place that will sell them Leonardo Dicaprio has really become an awesome actor and he is really someone to watch out for in the next few years,their was been early rumors about leo winning best actor and after watching this movie i feel that he definitley should and that it would be ashame if he didnt Djimon Hounsou played such a wonderfull part in this movie, his character of solomon vandy shouldnt have been mixed up in this but he wanted his Family back and he wanted his life back.The army took his son and he went on this journey to get him back Jennifer Connelly definitley fit in this movie, sometimes they dont make a space for a third person but in this movie they sure did. this movie was totally graphic and you could se that in the way they showed the scences of the miliray making kids do their work. and the scenes which showed all those people getting shot were really shocking to watch because you never think of thjese thongs happening This movie was an all around good film that i believe everyone should watch sometime ib their life

The Dark Knight begins with Batman working with Jim Gordon(Oldman) who is the cop willing to do what it takes to end crime in Gotham City. With the help of Harvey Dent( Eckhart) and Rachel Dawes (Gyllenhaal) they have to unite and figure out what is right to stop the new criminal of Gotham City simply known as the Joker(Ledger). The joker is phycopathic and plays on the emotions and it doesnt it for kicks, not really having a motive. The Late Heath Ledger is flawless. Everything and anything good that has been said about his portrayal is accurate. Heath delivers his lines, and it goves you chills when he says what he says. Heath's portrayal of the Joker is far more sinical then anyother villian I have seen to date. He is willing to do anything, just to prove his point, just to get the thrill of explosions and killing. Heath Ledger will always be remembered. Heath deserves the posthumous oscar award. He deserves any and all praise willing to be given. Flawless portrayal. It left me speachless for a good half an hour after I watched it. Gary Oldman and Christian Bale do such a wonderful job playing Batman and Gordon. Batman is different this time around.Gordon is willing to take down thw criminals but Batman isnt so sure that they can take down the Joker. The Special affects are rocking. The Story is perfect, The acting is flawless. This is the best comic book adaption I have ever scene. Chris and Jonathon Nolan wrote a script that will never be forgotten. This film is stand alone when you think of comic book adaptions. This is the Batman we were all waiting to see. This is the Joker that we have come to wish for. This is the movie that will end up being the best of 08. This movie will go down in history. Its more then just Batman, its the Joker, its acting at its finest, its A struggle of knowing what is right and what is wrong. Its characters developed to the point where it almost seems real. R.I.P Heath Ledger 1979-2008.
