3 movies reviews

This for all movie goers. Me and Summer watched three movies in the past week and I was supposed to write a review for all three so here it is. We watched Street Kings, Nim's Island and L change the world. Three totally different movies with different effects and we loved all three of it. So let us see how it compares.
Street Kings
Street kings featured Keanu Reeves who I haven't seen for a while. He went missing after The Matrix trilogy but then again when you earn more than 22 million per movie I guess I would have done the same too. Anyway this movie is so good in so many ways, confusing in more ways than one and violent in the most realistic manner possible. The story revolved around a hard-ass cop who has this sense of justice that is equaled only to heroes from the past. He doesn't go by the book which gets him in trouble but he gets the job done and somehow he always gets away with it. The best thing I think about this movie is that they were very realistic. They used words like "heat" for gun and "bust" for an operation which was similar to everyday police terms. I loved the fact that they didn't clean up the language and the fact that the movie revolved around the idea of good cop and bad cop. The Gory details of the shooting were amazing. You could see bullets coming through the back of someone's head and going through their nostrils. So much so Summer was scared at the idea. She's seen movies with shootings too but this were scary for her. Keanu Reeves was good and this time he wasn't asked to go flying around the world saving the world from computers so his acting was tested this time. If you watch this movie, there is this one scene where Keanu Reeves takes off his belt and wraps it around his knuckle, now everyone who has ever been in a fight before knows that if you don't have a weapon that is the best thing to use and I liked that they incorporated that idea instead of Keanu always having a gun around. I rate this movie 3 ½ stars out of 5. Its good but its not epic, a must see for movies enthusiasts.

Nim's Island.

This is a pretty good family movie that will be enjoyed by kids and grown ups alike. It's a story about a little girl and her father that lives on an island just the two of them (tell me that idea doesn't sound good, the whole island for yourself) and how they live everyday on the island. One day the father gets trapped in a storm and she was left alone to fend off people from further inhabiting the island, while a woman half way across the world is having problems with her inner self who actually is the main character of the book she's writing. A writer who writes about danger and adventure but refuses to leave her home (tell me about irony huh??) so the combination of these three different situation added with the funny cute and adorable animals and witty script writing makes it a pretty good movie. There however a few elements that looks rather over-exaggerated and this doesn't help the movie in the right direction, but then again it allows for the most minimal of imagination and the most of happy families. This movie would be good for people who love happy endings without really caring how the story got there. People who don't look into details would love this movie and the little girl was an okay actress for her debut movie. I rate this movie 3 out of 5 stars. Good, funny, comical, a little unrealistic but acceptable. Enjoyable.

L changes the world

This is the third sequel for the Death Note movie. Although I think it is also a separate movie altogether. This is a story of how another Wammy School legend was found (if you read the comic you'd know). I personally loved the comic version of death note so the fact that it wasn't according to the book was a little bit of a turn off. But the movie did have its qualities. The movie picked up where it left of within the 23 day period that L had to live. He was given a case about a virus that had killed an entire village except one boy who was then taken by F (another Wammy student) and given to L. A little girl who was also smart also played an important part in the movie. L was trying to solve every case he got within his waiting period and it was a spectacle for some. The movie was more of a telling story where L was given a more human look then just a genius who had the heart of ice. He was given emotions and his reaction in unforeseen situations was worth a laugh. Although the movie was rather tainted by a few commentators sitting behind us, we got the movie clearly, I personally would have liked if his genius-ness was highlighted by focusing more on the cases he solved but the movie was in the end not about his head but rather his heart. The ending was a little sad and I won't spoil it for you. But I could have been a lot better than it wasJ. I rate this movie 3 out of 5 stars. A good movie for Death Note enthusiast and not alike. Enjoy people!

p/s – We rate movie like LOTR trilogy, Braveheart, 300 at 5 stars hehehe
