The Godfather. Rating:R


This... movie... was... awesome!!! I love Al Pacino and Robert Duvall, and I ended up liking all the other actors, so the acting was great. The plot was interesting, but easy to understand, so the plot was great. The words didn't sound robotic, so the script was great. This was one of the best movies I have ever seen.
I haven't seen the sequel yet, but I've heard it's even better. I really didn't expect to understand this movie, but I understood it fine. It got 100% good reviews, and a lot of people reviewed it.
The thing I like about the movie most is that it really shows what the mafia is like. You never knew if someone was a traitor or really on their side.
It was kind of hard to find out what The Godfather was rated R for, but eventually, I found out it was for Violence/Gore, Language, Mature Themes, and brief Nudity.
This movie was nice and actiony just how I like it. Great movie!!!

Disturbia. Rating: PG 13

Look at the title of this movie. What do you think it was trying to be most? Well if you guessed, you're right. And it was. It was another Shia Labeouf movie, but I can't believe he looked young enough to play a teenager, because this movie is from 2007. The movie's about him getting under house arrest, and then looking from his window, into other people's. There's one man that he regularly spies on that he suspects of being a serial killer. It takes a long time for the movie to get actiony. This movie got 67% good reviews on rottentomatoes, by the way, I tried to become a member, but it said it couldn't process the information. The critics liked it, and so did I. Me and my dad liked applying the Hollywood rules to this one too.
I'm a big Shia Labeouf fan, and this is one of his best movies.
A few more scares and this would have been R. I looked on Kids In Mind and this movie got 6 for sex/ nudity, 6 for violence/gore, and 4 for language, although for the language, I think it should have been more for language because there were two obscene hand gestures, 5 sexual references, 16 scatological terms, 14 anatomical terms, and four mild obscenities.
This movie had really good actors.
That's it for now!

More M. Night Shyamalan movies that I have seen

There are two more M. Night Shyamalan movies that I have seen.

The first one is The Village. Rating: PG 13

I saw this movie pretty recently and every thought I have about it uses the word pretty. I thought it was pretty good, pretty weird, pretty scary, and pretty not enough action. I know that last sentence didn't make sense, but that's my thought on it.

After seeing this one, I realized that M. Night Shyamalan likes using the same actors in his movies. He reuses Joaquin Phoenix from Signs, and he uses the lady from Lady in the Water. Bruce Willis is also in Lady in the Water...or maybe he's in Unbreakable. I don't remember, but you get the point. The end was a lot scarier than the beginning, which means in my opinion usually, that the end is better, and this case is usual. I give this movie a 7 and a half out of 10.



The last movie I saw was The Happening. Rating: R



I can describe this movie in only one word: Graphic!!! There was a part where a man set a lawn a mower on himself and you expect the camera to turn away but it doesn't. This movie got terrible reviews, because people said it was anti-evolution. I didn't really think so; I thought it was actually pretty good. It was nice and disturbing just how I like, and the end was so awesome. I'm not gonna give it away though. What I noticed in this one was that M. Night Shyamalan likes to put very little language and sex/nudity in his movies. This one really scared me because what if everyone started killing themselves.

These are the four M. Night Shyamalan movies that I have seen. Let me note that he is one of my favorite writers/directors.

M. Night Shyamalan Movies that I have seen

Recently, I saw four of M. Night Shyamalan's movies.

The first one I saw was called The Sixth Sense. Rating: PG 13

This movie was awesome! It was SO creepy. The scariest part was when the kid saw the dead kid and a part of his head was missing. This is probably my favorite M. Night Shyamalan movie, because of how it draws you in. I could not take my eyes away from the screen. The surprise ending was kind of predictable, but it was still cool.
M. Night Shyamalan makes every moment in this movie frightening, even the parts that weren't supposed to be scary. It was the perfect combination. Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment.
This movie got 80% good reviews; I guess the critics agreed with me, except I probably would have given it better.

The next movie will be Signs. Rating: PG 13

This movie was still pretty good, although not as good as The Sixth Sense, it had some good scares and a decent script. I think Mel Gibson might have ruined a few scenes with his religious preachiness. (By the way, Joaquin Phoenix is a way better actor than Mel Gibson.
The part where the dad goes into the little girl's room and then he sees the alien on the roof is freaky! Also when the alien walks through the ally at the birthday.
I overall liked it. I really liked how you never really found out how the girl could kind of tell the future, and I'm not sure, but at the end when the alien was in their house, I thought I saw a picture of the girl on its back.
Signs got 70% good reviews, so the critics still liked it. I thought M. Night Shyamalan had too big of a part in this movie. I think that instead of him playing Ray Reddy, he could have played the man that was mean to Merill in the store.
Since I don't have very much time, I've decided to write about the other two M. Night Shyamalan movies I've seen in another post.
