The Prestige: I know, It's hard to say this popular movie is underrated when it has so much acclaim but seriously, have you seen it? Its terrific!
Death at the Funeral: Literally at the top of my comedy lists. Hilarious. Racist, but hilarious.
Exam: Its currently on Netflix instant watch, worth every second of your time. Trust me, fantastic movie, don't listen to the critiques.

An Incinerating Experience - Catching Fire: Move Review
I mean that in the best of ways.
I admit that when I sat down to see Catching Fire I was not expecting much. Although I enjoyed the first Hunger Games book, I found the movie rendition to be a little lacking, and quite honestly I found Catching Fire the book to be dreadful.
Fortunately, the movie had one advantage over the book in this scenario, it didn't take me inside the emotionally unstable mind ofBella Katniss. Without suffering her self righteous thoughts the movie was an awesome, action packed experience with beautiful people and a clear, enjoyable story line.
Indeed, like the first movie it was short in sex and especially violence (I mean seriously, I don't think I saw a single decapitation), but despite that Catching Fire was still thoroughly enjoyable and well worth seeing in theaters.
7/10

Google Earth
How come people never talk about how amazing, insanely detailed google earth is? It is fantastic. I can explore my own neighborhood and back yard as well as the neighborhood of some random person in Australia, all in first person through street view.
I can take a tour of the white house, and probably many other famous buildings, the possibilities are endless. I can travel in time look at a ground zero before and after the nine eleven attack, I can fly a plane down the side of mountain Everest. Every single time I go on google earth I am utterly amazed.

American Horror Story se3ep1 Review
American Horror Story, I have had mixed feelings about you in the past.
Being a big horror fan I initially approached you with interest, and just a few episodes into season one 1 quickly became dis-enthralled (possibly because of my aversion to Connie Britton).
Your second season however, was another matter. I watched you all the way through, easily captured by your creepy premise, and yet...by the last few episodes I was bored. You'd hit me with too much, there was no shock value left and your plot had deteriorated to next to nothing. I only finished season number two because I had so much previous time invested in you.
Now you have come out with your third season and once again I find myself drawn into the story, this year's theme being set in the southern states and centering around a Coven of witches. So far, your plot appears to have more potential to be an actual plot then in previous seasons, in just one episode you feel more driven and....focused.
And whether or not you throw zombies, Nazis, demons, aliens and serial killers at me, I believe having a solid plot line can only lend to your scare factor.

Super Bad: Movie Review
Sorry It's been a while, I've been busy, I discovered Reddit so yeah goodbye to my social life.
No not really, I was just watching a movie with a couple of my friends last night, Super Bad. Going into it I didn't know what to expect, because any move with Jonah Hill and Michael Cera as the main characters had to have some laughs, but on the other hand i'd never heard of Super Bad.
Honestly I don't know how I've never heard of this movie, it was so incredible...basically it is like the modern version of American Pie, just as many great moments, and a cast that was just as phenomenal (Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Emma Stone).
8/10 stars

World War Z: Book Review
Having loved the movie I decided to also read the book (I know, a little backwards), and was more than a little surprised. They were very different. Honestly if they didn't have the same titles I wouldn't have realized they were the same story.
Now you know how much I loved the movie...the book was just as fantastic, even if it was completely different. Such a page turner, so fascinating, and so believable. I can envision every country reacting in the exact way that Max Brooks predicts they would.
I planned to read this book on the plane, picked it up a couple days before hand though, let's just say I only had about a hundred pages left come vacation day. :)
9/10
