My Top 20 Films
To get you guys used to my tastes I'm going to give you my top 20 films of all time and why:
20.Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013) My favorite film from 2013 so far, it is visually dazzling and great a second time.
19.The Magnificent Seven (1960) A masterpiece created out of a wonderful piece of Japanese cinema. One not to be missed in this great classic story.
18.Zero Dark Thirty (2012) The hunt for Bin Laden was very slow but provides a women's great struggle to find him.
17.Argo (2012) A good true story of the Iran Hostage Crisis, that gives an inside look at their struggles.
16.Ted (2012) Another good comedy where the profanity provides more hilarity.
15.The Dark Knight (2008) The best Batman film that provides good quotable scenes and a great story.
14.The Hangover (2009) A great fast paced comedy where three guys don't know what happened in Vegas and try to find there friend Doug. The mishaps add to the mystery and comedy of Vegas.
13.21 Jump Street (2012) A hilarious interpretation of the original television series, gives good acting credits to Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Dave Franco, and Rob Riggle.
12.GoodFellas (1990) The classic gangster story narrated by Ray Liotta's character provides entertainment through black comedy and fast paced timelines.
11.Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) The best Lord of the Rings film giving us the return of Gandalf and the battle of Helm's Deep.
10.Die Hard (1988) Action and more dark comedy provide a great series refuge. Yippee ki yay mother (censored for children on blog, but we all know what it means).
9.Moneyball (2011) The best baseball film showing underdogs can rise to the challenge.
8.Django Unchained (2012) One of Tarantino's best as the *black comedy makes the dramatic moments even better.
7.Silver Linings Playbook (2012) The best bromance that provides a great cast and hilarious script.
6.Looper (2012) The second best time travel film, giving a darker feel that proves entertaining.
5.Back to the Future (1985) The best time travel film with complicated plot lines that are easily told through the mouths of Christopher Loyd and Michael J Fox.
4.Star Wars (1977) The classic defining visual effects that have shaped cinema today. The story, score and acting has also proven to stand the test of time.
3.Avatar (2009) The brilliantly shot, edited, acted,and scored, Avatar is one of the best films ever made.
2.The Avengers (2012) It made me laugh, smile, almost cry (Coulson),and give a standing ovation. I loved it.
1.The Shawshank Redemption (1994) Easily my favorite film of all time that provides an inspirational story and wonderful cast. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/
The reason there are so many films from 2012 is because I've seen 61 films from the entire year. It is a fresh opinion.What's your top 20? What did you think of my list? Comment below.

Movie News #1 June 3 and 4, 2013 and Weekend releases and box office June 4- June 7, May 31
Let's get right out of the gates with the news from yesterday and today:
The third installment to the Expendables franchise has four new actors and a release dates set for August 15, 2014. The four actors joining the main trio of Stallone, Willis, and Schwarzenegger are Nicolas Cage(National Treasure, Knowing), Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil), Wesley Snipes (Blade), and Jackie Chan (Rush Hour, The Karate Kid). My opinion on this news is one name does not fit, Nic Cage. This actor has not proven himself to be a great actor in recent years with flops such as National Treasure The Book of Secrets, the Ghost Rider Franchise, and other smaller films. The only mere fan and critic success was Kick Ass which I loved. But that film did not make a good box office number. As for the other names I'm excited to see the others kick ass once again on screen next to the famed 80's action stars.
Another development is the addition to Bond 24. The new Bond girl will be portrayed by Penelope Cruz. I have never been very fond of Penelope Cruz, her acting is so so, and has influenced my decision somewhat to see Pirates 4. But then I've never loved those films either. But I am very excited for the follow up to 2012's Skyfall.
This week MGM announced that they will release the famous Wizard of Oz in IMAX 3D. Although I loved the classic I think 3D may be a waste of money,but IMAX is the greatest choice for this film. The opportunity to see this on screen will be amazing, but there is little they can do for the 3D.
Box Office 5/31/13 Box Office(mill.)
1. Fast and the Furious 6 35.1
2. Now You See Me 29.3
3. After Earth 27.5
4. Star Trek: Into Darkness 16.8
5. Epic 16.6
New Releases in Theater:(June 7) The Internship, Much Ado About Nothing, Rapture-Palooza, The Kings of Summer.
New Releases on DVD: (June 4)Warm Bodies, Identity Thief, Escape from Planet Earth, A Good Day To Die Hard,and It's A Disaster.
