Vanilla Sky (2001)
Starring: Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz
Director: Cameron Crowe
Vanilla Sky is a psychological drama that involves David Aames (Tom Cruise) who seems to be on top world. He has all the girls he wants, all the money he wants, but when he truly finds love it turns his life upside down. This movie has a lot of twists and turns and at some points is quite delirious and deranged. We think that some people will like this movie, however we didn’t enjoy it.

Mystic River (2003)
Starring: Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon
Director: Clint Eastwood
Mystic River is a murder mystery thriller that involves 3 guys who have known each other since they were kids. One a cop (Kevin Bacon), one an ex-criminal (Sean Penn) and the other one rape victim (Tim Robbins). The acting in this movie superb and it is another Clint Eastwood classic. The only downside is that it is a little bit of a dark movie.

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)
Starring: Alex Pettyfer, Mickey Rourke and Sophie Okonedo
Director: Geoffrey Sax
Operation Stormbreaker is a spy movie about a young schoolboy who is called upon to be trained as an MI6 agent. It is based on Anthony Horowitz’s Alex Rider novels. There’s not much to say about this movie in terms of compliments, however the story would have the capacity to be quite good, but the casting and acting and writing really took away the possibility of it being a good movie. We don’t recommend that you watch it, however we’re sure the books are good.

The Social Network (2010)
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake
Director: David Fincher
The Social Network is a riveting drama based on the creation of Facebook. Starring Jessie Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg who in 2004 founded Facebook from his Harvard dorm room. This movie portrays the well publicized battle for who came up with the idea of Facebook, and as well some internal battles that came to be inside Facebook in it’s early stages. It’s a very inspiring and interesting movie, however it isn’t 100% accurate in it’s portrayal of events.
Rating: 10 of 10 the perfect movie
