This one should be pretty obvious, you should watch Wolverine if you like comic book movies and, of course, if you were a fan of the X-Men trilogy.

However, even if you're not a fan, comic book movies almost always offer great visual effects and intense action sequences.

Wolverine, is also a great character. Anybody who follows the comic books knows that he is a big, violent, angry, tough guy you would never want to mess with... but he's a good guy, and he only displays these characteristics to those who deserve to see them.

There's just something about a big tough guy with a good heart that always makes for a great story.

I have high hopes for this for Wolverines first solo.

What a wonderful world...

My opinion has always been that movie theaters may not be the best settings for documentaries. DisneyNature's Earth however, I believe, will be an extraordinary exception.

It's sad for me to admit that I'm not a big nature person, I rarely go outside, and I've never been camping...ever. But no one in there right mind can look at images of animals in there natural environment and not admire its beauty.

We're all aware that the face of the world is changing, and not for the better. That these animals and there habitats may not be around for much longer, is no longer an impossible scenario .

My hope is that watching this film will remind me of just how beautiful our planet really is, and how I should care that it is in danger.

New model, original parts. In my mind, this should have been the second movie in this series, instead of the fourth. I slightly enjoyed the second one, and didn't even see the third one. Fast and Furious, is indeed the fourth installment, and by the looks of it, (because of the aging characters and weak storylines), should be the last installment.

Dominic (Vin Diesel), returns to the states after being exiled. After living life in the fast lane in the Dominican Republic, Dom leaves the woman he loves Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), in fear of being captured. After being inform that Letty has been murdered, Dom so wise in the art of auto mobiles, gets just enough information, by tire marks on the streets. He finds out, what happened, how it happen, the type of tires, who sells them, and how she died, and a little more but you get the idea. I don't know about you but that's pretty impressive.

Brian (Paul Walker) also returns in this movie, all grown up as an FBI agent. Brian also follows up on the murder of Letty, which eventually reunites him with Dom, not a really happy reunion. Brian and Dom set off to find the men behind all this, in yes, an illegal street racing ring (I know it took me awhile to bring up cars). Of course the two heroes of the movie, eventually make there way in deep to get there hands on the men responsible, with a few details in between.

Fast and Furious has everything you expect, fast cars, furious characters, girls, explosions, and music. But yet having all these components, the movie still lacks excitement. The opening sequence was absolutely amazing, unbelievable, but amazing, I felt like standing up and clapping but didn't, fearing the people behind me would throw things at me and shout out "sit down!". That's what this movie lacked; more stunts like those, I just remember that car scene and the street racing scene, other than that, the movie forgot what made this movie worth watching.

As mentioned before, this is the fourth installment so I really didn't mind seeing lots of crazy stunts, but I didn't, this movie was out to be a big-boy and have an actual storyline, or so it tried. I was excited to see Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, back behind the wheel, Vin Diesel only has maybe two lines in the movie, but he's just so cool, why say anything.

The plot was a bit confusing and like I said weak. I didn't really understand the relationship between Dom and Brian, I couldn't understand why the bad guys needed drivers, and why are the bad guys always smaller in size compare the the good guys. This movie didn't deliver in a much wanted fight between Dom and the guy who actually killed Letty, instead you get an unsatisfying bout, if you can call it that.

All I'm saying is: not enough car action, weak story, it tried to hard on becoming a strong movie, the only thing that made this movie work was Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and that amazing opening scene, that's where I put my money, other than that, this movie drives 100 mph on a 55 mph, meaning it's forgettable. I will tell you this, driving back home I felt very cool listening to some Pit bull and Lil John.

Knowing is half the battle (yes I did steal that from G.I. Joe, and will probably use it again when I review that movie), but in this movie, knowing is not half the battle, it the whole battle. We know after Sunday comes Monday, we know we must eat to survive, we know football season is over in February, and starts again in September. These are things we know and I don't mind knowing. But once we uncover the unknown, and know more than we should, we should be afraid of knowing.

John Koestler (Nicolas Cage), who lives in dark times, behind the bottle, after his wife's unfortunate death, is a professor of astrophysics at MIT. John is now a single parent raising his only son Caleb (Chandler Canterbury). In a lecture John votes for a non-deterministic universe, following his words he believes "crap happens" (of course he doesn't say crap, but you know what I mean). Going to Caleb's school, which is celebrating it's 50th anniversary, a time capsule is opened, which contains drawings from the 1959 children who drew what they felt 2009 would look like. Caleb received not a drawing but a sheet covered with rows of numbers on both sides of the paper. In the beginning of the movie we see a young girl by the name of Lucinda, a 1959 girl, who wrote the numbers.

John accidentally figures out the numbers on the sheet of paper are more than numbers but are dates, and follows the pattern. Going back to check the dates, he discovers all are major disasters, leaving three dates left, he becomes obsessed, and discovers more following the numbers. Not only are the numbers dates but coordinates, and of course this wouldn't be a movie if everyone believed him right off the bat, so until the first major disasters occurs, he comes off as sounding crazy. The disasters in this movie are so well made, I have decided not to describe them, for your benefit. I will be glad to talk about it after you have view the movie.

John grows more and more fearful of the numbers, finds the daughter of Lucinda, Diana (Rose Byrne) and her daughter Abby. Caleb and Abby share a special connection, they both hear whispers of the strangers who come from the woods. John takes Diana and her daughter everywhere he goes to protect them, but after knowing the last disaster is upon them, John becomes so obsessed pushing away Diana and the two kids, the whole worlds soon knows something bad is about to happen and the chaos begins.

I couldn't help but think of two movies after seeing this one: "Signs" and "The Happening", yes both were made from the same guy M. Night Shyamalan. The reason why I think of these two movies, first signs is that it had the same feeling after viewing it, as if someone knock the air out of you, and leaving you to talk about the movie after it was done. As far as the happening, the happening being one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It comes to mind because the happening wanted to be just like "Knowing", I compare the two because they are similar in what they wanted the message to be. But knowing shows The Happening everything it did wrong. Knowing is brilliant.

Nicolas Cage has proven time and time again he is a legend. His performance was spectacular, leading you to believe he feels alone, then obsessed, then crazy, to finally sad yet joyful.

This movie does come off as cheesy, as far as the dialogue is concerned but it still works, the story is so powerful even with the cheesy dialogue, it comes off as a masterpiece. The disasters in the movie are not just so awesomely made, and have a real life sense of feeling to them. Give a lot of credit to Alex Proyas (the director) for that, the scenes were unbelievable, and the story was very well visually told.

Knowing is brilliant, suspenseful, and giddy. It is one of the best movies of the year so far. It will leave you asking yourself "Is this planet preordain or does crap just happen?" Don't miss this fantastic movie, that will uncover the unknown, at the end you will ask yourself one final question "Is there a point of KNOWING?"
