Great film, probably the best Pixar film so far.
Don't make me laugh... that praise goes to "Up". Sure it has its own flaws, but still the best!

Oblivion - A pretty fair post apocalyptic sci-fi film with Tom Cruise once again pulling out all the stops in acting greatness, Olga Kurylenko being undoubtedly the most beautiful woman to grace the screen, and fighting sequences that could come out of being from a video game.

TWC is the greatest example of what we call "Indiewood." Pre-Disney buyout Miramax and New Line (which no longer exist) would have been the other big examples from the 90's in the heyday of Indiewood.
Lionsgate and Magnolia would be the other big examples these days.

The ending's power is due to a flaw in history books. No one's sure if Bonnie and Clyde survived that encounter or not, and the director didn't want to take a side.

Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

Val Kilmer. Nazis. Slapstick. Need I say more?
This movie was absolutely hilarious, it's better than Spaceballs.
Val Kilmer plays Nick Rivers, a rock singer, who travels to Eastern Germany for a cultural festivals, he falls in love, they escape with l'resistance.
I don't really know what else to say. Very worth watching.
"Zey are still verking on him. He von't break. Zey've tried everyzing! Do you vant me to bring out ze Leroy Neiman paintings?"
"No. Vee cannot risk violating ze Geneva Convention."

Interesting take on the horror genre. I definitely was into the satire vibe. Although the ending was a little bit WTF, I still liked it overall.

Bonnie and Clyde died at that encounter.In fact Clyde was killed instantly by a head shot.Look here for more info at the ''Death'' part.

I didn't like it. Now before you all start calling me Satan or whatnot, I didn't hate it because of the content. I simply could not get past the art style. It felt like I was watching a massive videogame cutscene. Of course, the movie did have the redeeming cry of "This is SPARTAAAAAA!", but that was about it.

Good comedy movie. There were some scenes were I laughed because of how ridiculous they were.

Star Trek Into Darkness
Where do I start... how about with a bold statement? One of the best sci-fi space opera adventures ever put to the big screen, really I can only think of a bare few to match it or even roam within the same league-- Wall-E and the first Star Trek Abrams film. Again, Abrams combines impeccable character, jaw dropping science fiction set pieces, intense drama, and awe-inspiring visuals into a tightly wound and brilliantly edited film.
The performances and from all of the leads (and some previously supporting characters really stepping into the foreground) and the chemistry between them is simply infallible, which is to be reiterated if the first film didn't confirm that already-- it's hard to pick a standout because of how well they all play off of each other. This film had me tearing up one moment and then noticing my mouth hanging wide open the next out of pure awe of the beautifully directed action unfolding before me. JJ Abrams is as much of an actor's director as he is a visual one; his swooping and constantly moving shots are stylish without distracting and in a more refined manner than ever before. All together, to call his work 'immerse' would be to damn it with faint praise.
One of my only problems with the first Star Trek film was its underdeveloped villain who never had much to do and had motivations that were revealed just late enough not to make much of an impact... that is anything but the issue here in Into Darkness as Cumberbatch's John Harrison is anything but unimactful. From his steely blue eyes and piercing stare to his flawless posture and precise movement, his very presence is the definition of tension. His villainy could be so clearly felt that it put a smile on my face. But a simple villain John Harrison is not, as his motivations are revealed as much more complex than what we are initially lead to believe.
This is where I end the review because every time I think I can find the right place to end it, a new noteworthy detail of the seemingly endless levels of enjoyment I got out of watching the film crops up. It's a delight to have mere moments amongst incredible action scenes that I was so taken aback by that I want to mention them in a review, something meant to encapsulate my impressions of the film's essence. Easily my favorite film I've seen this year, and possibly one that can hold its place right up to the end. If you liked or loved the first Star Trek movie, this film will likely have you as blown away as it had me. If JJ doesn't come back to wrap the films up as a trilogy, I very well may cry. I can't imagine any other modern director taking the reigns of this universe; he owns it with pride and through wondrous execution.

SPOILER: Show
Luckily, going into the film (like many in my particular theater), I knew of character of Khan and his place within the universe, and starting to see the pieces fall into place was like watching a window slowly cracking under pressure, and when Cumberbatch delivers THE line-- it shatters and even though the movie allowed you to see it coming, it blows you away in the process. The air was literally sucked out of the room and into space. The audience took a moment and then made their amusement audible; I was among them.
This came right back to everybody during the warp drive re-alignment scene-- knowing who was on which side of the glass and actually seeing it happen was incredible and hit even harder when the scene came. It seemed they were setting Spock up to accept death when it came to him, but really what it was working him toward was the death of another: a friend. Something must be said for Pine and Quinto's work in this scene, as it was played in a way that breaks beyond simply paying homage to the original universe's iteration of it, but truly makes it revelatory for each character's development-- particularly that of Spock's. When Quinto finally let out -THE- line of swelling rage and unshackled emotion, it was simply perfect. Attributing that line to Spock's prior choice to repress emotion was to the point where he no longer could, and I'm going to use the word again, nothing short of brilliant.

The Evangelion Complex - An examination and comparison of the themes and visual language of Evangelion
Well, the visual style was pretty slick for a teenager that has never watched any great films or animations, and while like Crazyguy said most of the plot and elements were hilariously ridiculous (not a bad thing at all, mind you. It was funny as hell at times) i have to admit i found some parts rather cool.

Joe Young is a Mormon missionary going door to door. He knocks on the door of a house wherein a porno is being shot. He is duped into acting in said porno, playing the super hero Orgazmo!
Well worth watching.
