"The Conjuring" is the scariest movie you will see all summer. It has a family of seven moving into an old house and starting a new life in Rhode Island. The family realizes there are many things in the house that can only assume to make the house haunted. They turn out to be right and they have to try to deal with the haunted spirits of their house.
This movie is so thrilling because it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The cast was also really great. Usually in horror films, the acting is the part where we are drawn away. However, Ron Livingston, of "Office Space" and Lilli Taylor, of "Say Anything" played the parents and did a great job. Also, the paranormal investigators, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga did a great job. This movie is worth mentioning if you are a horror, it is worth seeing if you are a fan. It completely scares every moviegoer, and even if you are usually tough during horror flicks, I am sure you will be a little shaken up after this one.

"Breaking Bad" is One of the Best T.V. Dramas
Today marks the premiere of the last episodes of Breaking Bad. This show is one of the best drama ever to put on the T.V. screen. It has Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, trying to cope with his life after being diagnosed with cancer. He plans to still work at his job as a chemistry teacher, and try to make some money to treat his illness, and take care of his family. With the help of an old student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul, he cooks methamphetamine, and sells it. When the power gets to his head, he becomes this power hungry drug dealer called Heisenberg.
This show is awesome. The story is so captivating, and it epitomizes every show before because it just so beautifully written, and each week, is so exciting. The cast is spectacular also. The main characters are nominated for Emmys this year. Aaron Paul is so great and he was supposed to be killed off in the first season. He is so great for his age, and he is one of my favorite characters on the show. Anna Gunn plays as Bryan Cranston's wife, and at times she can be overbearing but she is also great on this show. The best part of this show, is Bryan Cranston. This show put him on the map as one of the best actors of all time. He was in some movies and was a huge hit, and he was hilarious on "Malcolm in the Middle." But this show, really proved that he can do it all, and he deserves every bit of recognition. Catch up on this show, and watch it.

"Searching for Sugar Man" is an Amazing Documentary.
"Searching for Sugar Man" is an amazing documentary. It tells the story of the talented story of the singer, Rodriguez. Rodriguez came out with two albums in the 70s but he did not have much success in in the United States. It actually was a giant success in South Africa. Actually South Africans consider him as successful as Elvis Presley. In this film, two South Africans set out a journey to find him and get him to tour again.
This film is so great because it clearly explains the true story of Rodriguez. It is a great story of determination and courage, to find him, and for Rodriguez to start playing again. What made me love this film so much, we listen to his music while the movie is playing, and it is very good. He is a great singer/songwriter it is too bad he did not have enough success because he is very talented. Here is a song by him, I hope you listen and watch the film.

"The King's Speech" is a Great One
"The King's Speech" is a great film about determination. It tells the story of King George VI, played by Colin Firth, and his journey to become a well-spoken speaker, and leader. He has had a stutter for almost his whole life, and he thinks that having a stutter, will make him be looked as less powerful. With the support of his wife, played by Helena Bonham Carter, and his speaking coach Lionel, played by Geoffrey Rush. With their help and support, he works extremely hard to address his nation when he becomes King.
This film is so fantastic mainly because of the authenticity and the great cast that was apart of it. Everything about this film made me think that I was in early 1900 England. The wardrobe, the cars, everything that went along with this movie were just greatly done. Helena Bonham Carter was fantastic in this film. She is great at what she does and she has made some great films even better. Geoffrey Rush was my favorite character in this film because he was not afraid to speak his mind, especially to the King. And obviously, Colin Firth was spectacular. His determination resinated on screen, and completely deserved his Oscar. Go check out this film.

"Inside Man" is What Action Movies Should Be
"Inside Man" is an awesome thriller. It has Dalton Russell, played by Clive Owen, taking down a bank, in a highly complicated heist. Dalton is a very skilled heist man and he is relentless in becoming successful in this robbery. The person that might be able to take him down is Detective Frazier, played by Denzel Washington. Detective Frazier is also relentless, in taking down Russell.
This film is great because of the nonstop thrill that went along with this movie. You will be on the edge of your seat the whole film, wanting to know what happens. This film is a great action film. I do not love action movies but this movie did what it was supposed to do as an action movie. It kept me interested, there was not dumb plot twists that came out of nowhere. The change in pace and plot, made sense. And also it did not last six movies to tell the story. Furthermore, Clive Owen and Denzel Washington were spectacular together in this film. Usually I do not like Clive Owen, but he was a great villain in this film. Jodie Foster and Christopher Plummer also added to the great cast in this film. Lastly, Denzel is spectacular in any role he plays, enough said. Go see this movie.
