Edge of Darkness

This was a good Mel Gibson film. He is always making good movies, with meanings behind everything. Many of his films make you think and this one is no different. This movie revolves around trying to find his daughter's killers and bringing them to justice, but not the legal kind. It really draws you in, every new scene has something crazy going on; adding new questions as to what happened. Mel Gibson was crazy as any father would be if his daughter were shot and killed in front of him. He let nothing stop him from finding the truth. I recommend this movie if you like Mel Gibson, but like any movie this movie is not for everyone. The ending has a couple of twists from what you would expect but it was very good. Also this movie makes you think about the corruption of big business and the governments of the world. Hope you enjoy the movie.

Dear John

Coming from a guy's perspective, I like the movie. I mean it was a typical romance where a guy meets girl and they fall in love over a break that the two have. He was on leave from the army and she on spring break. They fall in love instantly but then there is the separation he had to go back on duty and she to school. They start writing letters to become closer. Without ruining the whole story they start going through some rough times and this movie follows the rough time John has in the army without her and vaguely touches on the girl's view. They mention it here and there but it mainly follows John's perspective. This movie has it's moments that brought some tears to my eyes. I did not read the book, although I am going to make it a goal to read it and compare it.

Book of Eli

This was a good movie. I wouldn't say it was Denzel Washington's (Eli) best performance but I think it was up there. I think many people that I've talked to who hate this movie hate it because it was a bit slow and it is religious. The plot was pretty good. The religious meaning behind it revolves around the last bible known to man and how it can be used to either save humanity or drive it even further into a world of hell. Without ruining the ending it is one of those, pause and think about it and say, wow! I can't believe this.

Legion Review

I would give this movie a C+. It is a movie about God losing faith in humanity, so he sends his angels to wipe out humanity just like he did during the flood times and Archangel Michael does not like this and decides to defy God by trying to protect the humans by protecting an 8 month pregnant woman carrying a child that is supposed to be humanity's last hopes. Unfortunately, the movie does not explain who the child is or what he will do. I do have to admit the story is a bit slow and the character development could have been done better. The story overall is unique in that instead of the demons being the "bad" guys in this, it is actually the "angels". I don't want to ruin the whole movie or anything. I just wanted to say that it could have had more action.

Anyone about to see this movie I do have to warn, there is not a whole lot of action. It is a movie that bases its plot in the emotions of the brink of humanity's survival. There are parts that are funny such as the old lady telling the girl she is going to die (probably the most memorable part of the movie because it is just so funny and messed up).

I hope this review helps anyone who is thinking of seeing it. If you have seen it feel free to comment.
