Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)


This movie was pretty good but is the worst of the three LOTR movies. It has some of the best action and fighting of the three movies but the rest of the story drags along. You'll understand when you watch it. There is a lot of good foreshadowing for the third film. Pay attention.

Plot: The Fellowship is broken and the original nine are now seven and are separated into smaller groups. Men most defend their land against two enemies. Saruman and Sauron. Greatly outnumbered, even children take up weapons but as Aragorn says "There is always hope".

DO NOT WATCH THESE MOVIES OUT OF ORDER! YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THEM!

The thing that I did not like about it is that it didn't carry the story well and the plot didn't fit into the bigger story. It is still worth watching.

Rating: 6 out of 10

Coming soon: LOTR 3: The Return of the King

Night of the Living Dead (1968)


The famous 'Night of the Living Dead' - A classic zombie movie. You think its, good? You'd be wrong. There are a couple of scary parts at the end but it is dull all the way through and not much happens.

Plot: Radiation causes dead people to come back to life all over the world. Seven get trapped in a house but the zombies are on to them. Its a fight to the finish to see who survives. I can't tell you more of the plot because there isn't much more without giving away all of it.

In the last part of the movie it gets exciting and gory. Little movie watchers beware. If you are a fan of getting scared, zombies, or monster movies, you should watch this. A little boring but parts worth watching. Warning: Children under 12 should NOT watch this movie, the beginning is tame but the end is violent.

Rating: 5 out of 10

Coming soon: Lord of the Rings II: The Two Towers

Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)


One of my favorites of all time. My favorite director - Tim Burton.
Plot: Fairytales merging Halloween and Christmas - what's not to like? There are different towns for different holidays. Trees with doors transport between the different towns.
Jack is only interested in one door - the one with the Christmas tree on it. He finds the world of Christmas but there is only one problem, what is wonderful to him is terrible to others. He becomes Santa Claus to learn more about the holiday. All goes well until the evil oogiie-boogie comes in to ruin Jack's plan and murder Santa Claus.
This movie is one of my all time favorites there is nothing I can say bad about it. What are you waiting for? Go watch it now!

The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)


The was a fantastic movie. I did not expect it to be as good as it was. Three hours of excitement and just plan awesomeness.

Plot: Rings of Power have been created that control people. The most powerful one was lost for thousands of years. When it is found, is controls the person who has it and drives them crazy. The Dark Lord who made it wants it back. The good guys have to take it to a dangerous volcano where it must be destroyed to save Middle Earth.
This is a fantastic story and I say watch it. Before you know it, you will want to watch all three movies in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
