Orphan (2009)


I thought this movie was very bazaar at times and frustrating as well. I thought the movie was done real well, but the character of Esther just really bothered me through out the whole movie. Esther is played by newcomer Isabelle Fuhrman and Esther is an orphan that seems like the perfect child on the outside, but has a deep dark secret on the inside. She is adopted by Vera Farminga (Running Scared) and Peter Sarsgaard (Jarhead), who play Kate and John, a couple with two kids that want to adopt a child to make it three since Kate had a miscarriage with the third. Kate starts to suspect Esther as people and members of her family start getting hurt and even killed by the child with that deep dark secret, but nobody believes her till it's too late. So go out and rent the movie to find out what Esther's secret is and I would probably visit the Redbox to get it for a dollar cause it's only worth seeing once. Two and the Half Stars out of Five

G.I. Joe: The Rise Of The Cobra (2009)


First off I have to start by saying that I thought Dennis Quaid, Ray Park, Sienna Miller, Channing Tatum, and Byung-hun Lee all did an excellent job in this film. Before I rented it, I was a little skeptical about them taking my favorite cartoon and action figures as a child to live action film. I was not disappointed by any means. Their is plenty of action in this film and the actors do not disappoint at all. Marlon Wayans does an excellent job as Ripcord, Channing Tatum as Duke and Ray Park as Snake Eyes was my favorite in the film. I even have to say that Joseph Gordon Levitt did an excellent job in the film and could be a great Cobra Commander if they continue the series because this movie was made to see how the Cobra came to rise and not only does the movie have action, but it also has some serious tones as well as some great comedic moments by Wayans and Tatum. Their is even a little twist at the end of the movie and I am eager to see what they do with the series. So rent this because I don't want to give away too much. Four and the Half Stars Out Of Five
