Battle: Los Angeles


I saw this one recently too. I have to say that the storyline is the usual alien invasion story. So, there is nothing new about that, however, this movie was a special effects extravaganza.
This film, directed by Jonathan Liebesman, stars Aaron Eckhart who plays Staff Sergeant Nantz. He just about to retire when the aliens begin to take Los Angeles. This film co-stars Bridget Moynahan, Ramon Rodriguez, Michelle Rodriguez, and Ne-Yo.
I give 2 1/2 stars out of 4.

Limitless

I just recently saw this one. This film, directed by Neil Burger, stars Bradley Cooper as Eddie Mora, an unsuccessful writer who, one day, takes a drug called NZT-48, that allows him to access 100% of his brain. It co-stars Robert DeNiro, and Abbie Cornish.
This movie literally surprised in many ways. It was full of twists and turns and, most of the time, I didn't know what to expect next. This movie is a perfect example of clever script writing.
I give it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars.

Inception

This movie was an awesome movie. One of the best movies I have seen to date. Wally Pfister does a phenomenal job at Cinematography, he even won the Academy Award for it. This movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Dominic Cobb, a man who goes into peoples dreams and steals ideas. He is then hired by Mr. Saito, the manger of a global energy company, to perform an inception on Robert Fischer.
The film co-stars Joseph-Gordon Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Wantanabe, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy, and Michael Caine. Inception was also nominated for Best Picture at the 83rd Academy Awards.
I give it 4 out of 4 stars.
