Interstellar, Christopher Nolan's upcoming film, now has an official poster and tagline released, with a new trailer right around the corner. While not exactly amazing by any means, the official poster is rather cool, and it reminds me of something by Steven Spielberg like Close Encounters of the Third Kind. What interests me is the tagline: "Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here." Now that is a cool tagline! While the first did little to catch my interest or attention, the current plot synopsis is that is about a team that goes through a newly discovered wormhole, and that concept is intriguing to me. Despite the concept being intriguing, Nolan will definitely have to do something special and original to prevent the movie from being Gravity combined with 2001, and more like Inception in space, which would be awesome. While the reviews for the film will decide whether or not I am going to see it in theaters, this new trailer will hopefully give us something to convince us that the movie is going to be worth watching, but without spoiling too much. Also, a trailer is reported to be released at some point in the near future with rumors suggesting that it is going to be in front of Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla.
In short, I am cautiously optimistic about the movie, only because Inception is one of my favorite movies. What do you expect from Nolan's Interstellar? Please comment below and let me know.
Here is the previously released teaser trailer.

Thoughts: When I first watched Casino Royale, back in 2006, I was majorly disappointed. Because it did not have gadgets like the other Bond movies and it was far too dark for a Bond movie. But I watched it again with an open mind, thinking of it as an action spy movie rather than a James Bond movie. I actually loved the movie; it is one of my all time favorite movies. I was expecting to maybe kind of like it but it was great. Most other critics agree that this is one of the best Bond movies and one of the best movies of that year. Also if Bond movies you will probably still like this one because it is very different from the original Bond movies. For this review I am going to put aside the fact that this is not really a true James bond movie and review it as an action spy movie. Casino Royale has been adapted twice into a movie but this is the first official James Bond adaption of the Casino Royale book. Casino Royale was the first book in the original book James Bond series, so it starts the new with a clean slate. It opened with Bond earning his "00" status as an agent of MI6, therefore you really do not have too much about the previous Bond movies other than a few references to the original movies. The action scenes in Casino Royale were truly amazing, with some of the best ever made. The first on-foot chase was incredible using spectacular parkour (free-running) and many other excellently choreographed fight scenes. Casino Royale is the first Bond movie to have great espionage since From Russia with Love and it executed the espionage perfectly. The plot twists were unexpected and the pacing was near perfect with only about 5 or 10 minutes with not many important things happening. As all Bond movies that was romance but it did not seem to have as much usual for a Bond movie and what was there seemed more real. Also the "Bond Girl" Vesper Lynd played by Eva Green was much better than most of the "Bond Girls" since she actually played an important role in the plot. There was one scene that if changed would have made the even better, it was the interrogation scene, I am not going to spoil the movie but if you have seen the movie you know what I am talking about.
The Good: Amazing action scenes, Great performances, Unexpected plot twists, Fantastic espionage,
The Bad:
Plot: The following plot summery is copied from Wikipedia.com.
After killing a traitorous MI6 section chief—who has been selling classified information—and the station chief's contact, James Bond gets his double-0 status. The new agent 007 then goes to Madagascar in pursuit of an international bomb-maker named Mollaka. After a free running chase to an embassy, Bond kills his target and blows up a part of the building in order to escape. Searching through Mollaka's cell phone, Bond discovers a text message which he traces to Alex Dimitrios, an associate of banker and terrorist financer Le Chiffre. Le Chiffre's investments involve short-selling stock in successful companies and then engineering terrorist attacks to sink their share prices.
Bond travels to Dimitrios' house in the Bahamas and seduces his wife, Solange. While answering a phone call, Solange reveals that her husband is flying to Miami; Bond leaves to pursue him. In Miami, 007 kills Dimitrios during a fight and then follows Le Chiffre's henchman, Carlos, to Miami International Airport. There, Bond foils Le Chiffre's plan to destroy the prototype Skyfleet airliner. Watch the movie to what happens next.
Plot: 9.4/10- Casino Royale's plot has plot twists, perfect use of espionage and it even made the poker game very interesting and suspenseful.
Action: 9.7/10- While there is not constant action, every action scene is very memorable and choreographed excellently. One of the action near the beginning is truly amazing, yet mostly realistic.
Acting: 9.2/10- While I would not consider Daniel Craig a very good James Bond his performance was very good and Eva Green performance was probably the best by a "Bond Girl".
Special effects: 8.0/10- There are not a lot of use of special effects except some explosions but what was there did look realistic.
Soundtrack: 9.3/10- The soundtrack used some of the great classic Bond music combined with some great new tracks.
Comedy: 6.5/10- There were a few humorous lines in Casino Royale.
Gadgets: N/A- As a James Bond movie Casino Royale fails because it does not have any gadgets in the movie like previous Bond movies.
Title Sequence: 9.4/10- Visually this is my favorite Title Sequence and the song was good but not near as good as some of the other songs from the previous Bond movies.
Would I Watch This Again: I will definitely watch this again, I want to go re-watch some of my favrotie scenes right now.
Overall: 9.3/10- Even if you do like not the other entries in the James Bond franchise you should like Casino Royale if you like spy or action movies.
Closing comments: While I would not consider Casino Royale a "Bond Movie", it is a truly fantastic action film.
New The Amazing Spider-Man Trailer!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! I am speechless! This trailer is "Amazing!" I am almost as excited about this as I am The Avengers! The first Spider-Man movie was the first comic book movie that I would consider an instant classic and still remains one of my all time favorite movies. Spider-Man was my favorite comic book hero even before Captain America. If you haven't seen the original Spider-Man movies you need to go watch them now! In my opinion they are also "Family Friendly" but are not a kid's movie. Some would even consider Spider-Man 2 the best comic book movie ever. While it is not our favorite it is one of our favorites. The action in the trailer looks fantastic and the costume does also. I wasn't all that sure if The Amazing Spider-Man was going to be that good but this trailer has sure changed my mind. So what did you think of the trailer? Have you seen the other Spider-Man movies?

There has been some confusion about the we score some of the movies we review so is the a explanation.
10/10- Masterpiece: Virtually flawless. Very few Movies are absolutely perfect, but 10s represent the pinnacle of film brilliance. It doesn't get any better than this.
Example: Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings.
9.0 to 9.9- Amazing: A fantastic achievement with only minor flaws or imperfections. If a movie scores a 9.0 or better you know it's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys good movies.
Example: Higher end: The Matrix, Inception, Captain America, Iron Man, Kelly's Heroes.
Lower end: Braveheart,
8.0 to 8.9- Great: An excellentm movie experience that misses the boat in just a few key areas. Films that score in this range still are highly recommended.
Example: Higher end: The Dark Knight ,. Lower end: The Expendables
7.0 to 7.9- Good: An enjoyable movie that has some obvious flaws. Movie scoring in the high end of this range might have some first-rate elements, whereas the lower 7s have some serious shortcomings that keep them from ever achieving classic status.
Example: Higher end: 300. Lower End: Salt
6.0 to 6.9- Okay: Passable, but just barely. Movie in this range have more blemishes than strengths, but still might be worth a look if you're into the movie's genre.
Example: Rob Roy
5.0 to 5.9-Mediocre: Movie scoring between a 5.0 and 5.9 have numerous major shortcomings. Generally only fans of the particular genre will get any enjoyment out of this one.
Example: Gulliver's Travels (2010)
4.0 to 4.9- Bad: Not exactly good at all.
Example: Collateral Damage
3.0 to 3.9- Awful: Any movie show that scores in or below this range isn't worth your time.
Example: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem
2.0 to 2.9- Painful: Movies of this caliber are way below bad.
Example: To Kill a Mockingbird
1.0 to 1.9- Unbearable:This is worse than bad. It's physically painful to watch.
Example: The Bobo
0.0 to 0.9- Disaster: The absolute worst of the worst. There are no redeeming qualities, just total non-entertainment.

Star Wars
We want a live action TV show set in the Old Republic or a movie set in the Old Republic. We also want the story based on the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic video game.
James Bond
The Daniel Craig have Bond movie has had critical success but they didn't have the feel of a Bond movie they were more like a Bourne movie than a Bond movie.
We are James Bond purest we want gadgets and good villains. The next movie needs to be set in the 60s around the same time as the original Sean Connery Bond movies and they need to bring back the gadgets and have reimaginings of classic villains.
Indiana Jones
We really hated Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Aliens? Really?! Indy need to get the James Bond treatment which means get a new actor to play Indy but the character stays the same or make a new Adventures of Young Indiana Jones TV show.
Bourne movies
We just finshed watching the Bourne Trilogy yesterday look for the review coming soon.
We know that there is going to be sequel of the Bourne movies but Matt Damon won't be in the next one. What we want is a sequel with Matt Damon in it.
Thr Matirx
We have recently become huge Matirx fans. We have read rumors that there might be a sequel at some time so we are really hoping for it coming soon.

We don't know how Christopher Nolan would make a sequel to Inception but need really one and we need it now.

The Bad:
Plot:
Computer programmer Thomas A. Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is secretly a hacker known by the alias "Neo". He is restless, and driven to learn the meaning of cryptic references to "the Matrix" appearing on his computer. An infamous female hacker called Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) confirms that a man named Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) knows the answers he seeks; however, three sinister Agents, led by Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving), arrest Neo and attempt to dissuade him from contacting Morpheus. Undeterred, Neo attends a secret meeting with Morpheus, who offers him a choice of two pills: A blue one that would return him to his old life, and a red pill that would allow him to learn the truth about the Matrix. Neo swallows the red pill, and he abruptly finds himself in a liquid-filled pod, his body connected by tubes and cables to a vast mechanical tower covered with identical pods. The connections are severed, and he is rescued by Morpheus and taken aboard his ship, the Nebuchadnezzar. Neo's atrophied physical body is restored, and Morpheus explains the situation.
Morpheus tells Neo that it is not 1999, but closer to 2199, and that humanity is fighting a war against intelligent machines created in the early 21st century. The sky is covered by thick black clouds created by the humans in an attempt to cut off the machines' supply of solar power. The machines responded by using human beings as their energy source in conjunction with nuclear fusion, later growing countless people in pods and harvesting their bioelectrical energy and body heat. The world in which Neo grew up was actually the Matrix, a simulated reality of the world set in 1999, developed by the machines in order to keep the human captives docile. Morpheus and his crew belong to a group of free humans who "unplug" others from the Matrix and recruit them to their resistance against the machines. They are able to use their understanding of the Matrix's nature to bend the simulation's laws of physics, giving them superhuman abilities within the virtual world. Morpheus believes that Neo is "the One," a man prophesied to end the war through his limitless control over the Matrix.
Neo is trained as a member of the rebellion. A socket in Neo's skull, formerly used by the machines to connect him to the Matrix, allows knowledge to be uploaded directly into his mind. In this way, he is able to quickly learn numerous martial arts styles, and impresses the crew with his speed when sparring in the rebels' virtual reality "construct" environment. Further training introduces Neo to the key dangers in the Matrix itself. He learns that fatal injuries suffered within the simulation will also kill one's physical body in the real world. He is warned that the Agents he previously met are powerful sentient computer programs with the ability to possess the virtual body of anyone still directly connected to the Matrix, whose purpose is to seek out and eliminate any threats to the simulation. Morpheus is confident that once Neo fully understands his own abilities as "the One", the Agents will be no match for him.
The group enters the Matrix and takes Neo to meet the Oracle (Gloria Foster), the woman who has predicted the eventual emergence of the One. From her comments, Neo infers that he is not the One. The Oracle adds that Morpheus believes in Neo so blindly that he will sacrifice his life to save him. Watch the movie to see what happens next.

Plot:Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his partner Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) perform an illegal corporate espionage by entering the subconscious minds of their targets, using two-level "dream within a dream" strategies to "extract" valuable information. Each of the "extractors" carries a "totem", a personalized small object whose behavior is unpredictable to anyone except its owner, to determine whether they are in another person's dream. Cobb's totem is a top which perpetually spins in the dream state. Cobb struggles with memories of his dead wife, Mal (Marion Cotillard), who manifests within his dreams and tries to sabotage his efforts. Cobb is approached by the wealthy Mr. Saito (Ken Watanabe), Cobb's last extraction target, asking him and his team to perform the act of "inception", planting an idea within the person's subconscious mind. Saito wishes to break up the vast energy conglomerate of his competitor, the ailing Maurice Fischer (Pete Postlethwaite), by planting this idea in his son Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy) who will inherit the empire when his father dies. Should Cobb succeed, Saito promises to use his influence to clear Cobb of the murder charges for his wife's death, allowing Cobb to re-enter the United States and reunite with his children. Cobb assembles his team: Eames (Tom Hardy), an identity forger; Yusuf (Dileep Rao), a chemist who concocts the powerful sedative needed to stabilize the layers of the shared dream; and Ariadne (Ellen Page), a young student architect tasked with designing the labyrinth of the dream landscapes. Saito insists on joining the team as an observer and to assure the job is completed.
