** Minor Spoilers, nothing you haven't seen in the trailers **
Ambitious is an adjective often used to describe director Christopher Nolan, who's films have lead us through a heist in a dreamer's mind and put us in the shoes of a man with memory loss by presenting the film in reverse-chronological order. The Dark Knight Rises, however, is easily his biggest, most ambitious film yet, as terrorist leader Bane unleashes a plan to practically kidnap all of Gotham City, including Batman, only so they can watch in horror as it is all brought to ashes. Not only is this Nolan's biggest film, but this may be one of the biggest movies in terms of scale that I have ever seen. The Dark Knight Rises hardly ever slows down when things get rolling and promises to surprise you at least a couple times. While you may find yourself scratching your head at plot holes along the way, if you're a fan of the two previous films and you've bought into the world Nolan has created then it shouldn't be a problem for you. (And let's not pretend that The Dark Knight and Batman Begins didn't have it's fair share of plot holes too.)
With that said, while the Joker looked to cause chaos in The Dark Knight, Bane looks to simply destroy. He's a frightening and often menacing character and is easily Batman's most powerful opponent. Bane doesn't just test Batman's limits, he breaks them. Fans, including myself, were unsure if Tom Hardy was the right choice for Bane and I'm happy to tell you that he was. It is hard to understand him at times, but as long as you're listening closely this shouldn't be a problem. Hardy deserves a lot of praise for this character, for he is truly terrifying, whether he's squeezing a man's throat as if it's only a minor inconvenience or he's just standing there. It does help that Nolan is always filming Hardy from a low perspective, so it always looks like we're looking up at him. It seems like a minor touch, but it means everything to making Hardy look as powerful and unstoppable as the character demands him to be. Bane is a truly terrifying villain and you want to see Batman defeat him so badly as the film comes roaring to an end.
If we're talking great performances, however, we have to highlight Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. Hathaway has come a long way from the Disney star she once was and although I haven't seen a lot of her work, I feel safe saying that this was her best performance so far. Hathaway is constantly entertaining and is a stark contrast to Christian Bale's dark and rather moody performance as Batman. Don't get me wrong though, Bale's performance in The Dark Knight Rises is easily one of his best and veteran actors Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine all deliver the top notch performances you expect from them with every film they appear in. Inception stars Marion Coltillard and Joseph Gordon- Levitt also give strong performances in their important, respective roles.
Hans Zimmer, who did a wonderful job on the score for the last two Batman films returns with a different, but still powerful score. At times, it can be downright thrilling, terrifying even. At other times, however, it can be a bit intrusive. There's some scenes in The Dark Knight Rises that I think could go without music at all. It seems like there's always a violin playing in background, or drums being pounded on, regardless of what's going on in the film. In fact, the one scene I can remember that went completely without music was one of the most powerful in the entire movie, but I'll let you see that for yourself.
The Dark Knight Rises is definitely a different film then I expected personally, but in the end I can't complain. Nolan's goal was to go as big as possible and he did that in just about every way. The film is everything it claimed to be: An epic, ambitious, and fitting end to one of the greatest series of all time. If you expected a masterpiece, then tone down your expectations a little bit. The Dark Knight Rises, in my opinion, is the best film of the summer. It's not the best in the series, but it's damn good and I recommend it to all movie goers everywhere.

You have eight minutes to prevent the world from ending, but you have no idea where you are or why this huge responsibility is in your hands. What in the world do you do? Captain Colter Stevens is faced with this harrowing question and many more, and you'll find yourself looking for the answers with him in Source Code.
I think you'd be surprised to here that Source Code is a movie for everybody. If you're looking for action, Source Code is your movie, it seems like there's an explosion just about every eight minutes. (you liked that didn't you?)If you're looking for a movie that'll make you think, Source Code is without a doubt your movie. But you don't HAVE to think during Source Code, I think it's safe to say you can have a below average IQ and still enjoy it unlike other sci-fi thrillers like Inception.
When asked what Source Code's weakness is though, I'd have to say it really struggles with depth. Not only is there really no emotion in any of the characters, other then Gylenhall's, the film has a hard time helping us understand the characters at all. We touch bases with why the villain is doing what he/she is doing, but as interesting as it all sounds, we never truly understand him/her. To me, it's almost like Source Code decided to skip over this as if it was unimportant. And that same thing goes for all of the characters, not just the villain. A lot of the time you'll be asking yourself, why is this character doing this? Why don't they do this instead? So I guess what I'm saying is that in the end, the writing for Source Code is mediocre. It has it's high points but most of the time, it wasn't very good. It's an interesting premise and I can see were the writers were trying to get at with the main character and the villain and the plot in general, but it feels like it never really got there.
The good news is, there were a lot of things that bailed the writing out. Duncan Jones, the director of Moon, is great and I think he did a good job dealing with the bigger budget. He showed me that he can direct those big action sequences just as well as anybody out there. The cast also did a great job with what they were given. Jake Gylenhall has clearly come a long way since Donnie Darko. His haunting performance in Brothers stands out as one of his best ever. I think he did a great job portraying Colter Stevens in Source Code, but that he could have come away with an even better performance if he was faced with a character with a little more depth. The music was not what I expected and at first I didn't know how it was going to work with the film but it ended up making a lot of situations more intense and more emotional then they would have been without it.
In the end, there's no reason to be tough on Source Code. It's a very enjoyable, fast paced film and anyone can enjoy it. I was surprised that I had such a good time while watching it and I didn't regret picking it over Fast Five this weekend. Oh, and I was genuinely surprised that the movie went along without Gylenhall having to take his shirt off. . . sorry ladies!

James Wan, the director of the cult classic SAW returns to make what might be one of the greatest PG-13 horror films ever made. Things may start off a bit slow, but when things start to get rolling the scares don't stop until the very end. You'll be grabbing your arm chair and covering your mouth to avoid screaming the entire time.
Let me just say that this review is coming from a very skeptical, very anti-horror film kind of guy. I had low expectations for Insidious and was expecting to just laugh and make fun of the dumb characters on screen. Instead, I was met with an intense and sometimes just downright scary thriller that had me at the edge of my seat to the very end. I think what holds this entire movie together is the music. It intensifies every situation and is what separates its self from other realistic horror movies like Paranormal Activity, which for the sake of realism, didn't have any. The screeching violins, and banging and clawing come together to make a reckless, terrifying soundtrack that ensures that your scared even with your eyes closed.
Another strength that Insidious has and most horror movies don't is great acting. The entire cast, although small, makes this film very believable. The main characters feel real so you care what happens to them. Most horror movies fail to make you care at all about any of the characters involved, but you're able to connect with them in Insidious. The script writing is good, I can see some of the lines from this becoming remembered like the famous, "He doesn't want us to cut off our chains. . .he wants us to cut off our feet" line from Saw. I'm not gonna spoil anything but the ending sort of let me down and left some questioned unanswered. Other then that, I enjoyed the script and every development within the film.
The bottom line is Insidious has everything you could possibly want from a PG-13 horror film and more. It's scary but it's also really good. I can see this becoming a cult classic in the near future. Anyone who enjoys horror movies will DEFINITELY enjoy this. However, this can be enjoyed by anyone. There's absolutely no gore and nothing that'll really gross you out if that's not your thing and I think that's just one more thing that makes Insidious so good. It'll make you scared out of your mind without blood and guts, something that horror movies can't seem to do nowadays.
