I will be reviewing 3 movies, Firewall; rated PG13, Eight Below; which is PG, and Madea's Family Reunion; this one is also rated PG13. All of these movies should be fantastic, but you will have to see them yourself to be able to give your opinion.

Firewall

This movie came out on February 10. It stars Harrison Ford, Paul Bettany, and Virginia Madsen just to name a few.

Jack Stanfield is an executive at Landrock Pacific Bank, one of the leading finacial places in Seattle.Stanfield is in charge of overseeing the security for Landrock, and has to make sure that their online banking services are the best protected in the world from all hackers and intruders. Whenever Stanfield receives a visit from a man named Bill Cox, who knows everthing about Stanfield and his family he finds out the hard way that his system did have flaws.Cox will hold Stanfield's wife Beth, and their two children, hostage until he is given the ransom money he wants. So Jack will need to deposit 100 million dollars into an account that Cox has, to insure the saftey of his family.

Will Jack go along with this or will he take a chance and risk the lives of his loved ones. You will have to see this thriller movie to find out. I give this movie six out of ten stars.

Eight Below

This movie, is inspired by a true story that happened in 1957 to some Japanese researchers exploring the Antarctic. This movie came out on February 17. It stars Bruce Greenwood, Jason Biggs, Paul Walker, and Moon Bloodgood as some of the main characters.

An American geologist, travels to Antarctica to participate in a project at the United States Research Base. There he teams up with some friends, Shepard, and Cooper. Not soon after they discover that Shepard has eight other friends, a pack of sled dogs. He has worked with these dogs for years, and they have rescued him from danger many times. As they are exploring this frozen mountain region, an unexpected accident and storm come along forcing them to fly to safety, leaving the dogs behind.

Shepard is determined to save his friends, but will that mean he will have to put his own life in danger also. I give this movie five out of ten bright stars, but you will have to go see this movie to tell how great it is.

Madea's Family Reunion

On February 24, Madea's Family Reunion came out in theaters. Do you remember when the movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman came out? If you do, well this movie, Madea's Family Reunion is the continuation of that other adventure.

Madea is going to be faced with to many things to handle. First off, she is ordered by the court to be in charge of Nikki, who is a rebellious teen runaway. At the same time, she is having to deal with her two nieces, Lisa and Vanessa. They are going through relationship trouble and want Madea's help. While dealing with all of this and helping other people with their problems, she is having to organize her family reunion. As the reunion is fast approaching, secrets are being revealed and tension is rising. Madea is doing all she can to keep the peace, but also keep her family together.

Will she be able to handle all the stress and pressure or will Madea lose it herself as well? I give this movie four out of ten stars.

Well, farewell for now, hopefully you go and see one of these movies. It was great being your movie reviewer this year.
