Very interesting look at politics. No matter what point in time you look at, politics is a dirty business. Lincoln was portrayed as a very patient, politically astute individual. He may not have been a well educated man, but he knew people and he knew what he had to do to get things done. He saw the big picture very clearly, which is a hard thing to do at times. To me it is a miracle that he was born into the time that this country desperately needed his insight and wisdom.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons story could be a bit hard to follow for some
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Possibly best Narnia Yet!

Wonderful family movie. Lots of action, the 3D was a nice addition. The story was good - I have not read the Narnia books, so I do not know how closely it follows the book itself. We have seen the previous two Narnia movies and this may very well be my favorite. My 13 year old son and 19 year old daughter both loved it, as did my husband and I. Definitely would see it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I think this is the best adaptation from book to movie that the Harry Potter series has done. I just re-read the book and very few things were left out. The movie is very dark, as is the book, and might scare younger children - it scared me at times. I thought the action scenes were great and the animation sequence was inspired! I can't wait until the second part comes out this summer.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Family Movie

My husband and I took our 12 yr old son to see Secretariat. All three of us loved the movie. It was a great feel good movie for the whole family. My son actually went home and pulled up Secretariat's Belmont Stakes race on the internet to actually see what was re-created in the movie. It does not have a lot of special effects or action, but it gets you involved with the story. Even though we knew Secretariat won the Triple Crown, we were still biting our nails pulling for him. Take the family and enjoy!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Maybe My Favorite HP Film So Far

I thoroughly enjoyed the Half Blood Prince and I am looking forward to seeing it a second time. It followed the book, for the most part. I understand why some things were left out, but was disappointed that it did not contain other scenes from the book. I thought the actors did marvelous jobs with their characters. Especially important since there was more character development in this movie than others. It is certainally darker than the other firms, which is to be expected, and it sets the stage for the final two movies. I think Harry Potter fans will be pleased.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Must See

The new Star Trek movie exceeded my expectations in every category. The movie follows a character based story line, but the special effects are great and it is extremely fast paced. The time flew by. I think whoever came up with the story line is a genius. It opens up a whole new world for the characters from the original tv show. They can take this story line in any direction they want with very few constraints. Absolutely a marketing goldmine. This movie breathes new life into the original series.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best Batman movie to date.

I was not that excited about what I thought would just be a remake of a previous movie. This is no remake. The Dark Knight is a powerful, action packed movie that really focuses on character development. Keith Ledger deserves an Academy Award nomination for his performance as Joker. He gave entirely new insight into what makes the Joker tick. Christian Bale was once again awesome. The entire cast of the movie gave outstanding performances. I walked away very satisfied with every aspect of the movie. The plot has twists and turns that I never saw coming. I thought the screen play was exceptionally thought throuh and well written. Go see it. It is well worth the price of admission.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
