Inglorious Basterds was an amazing film there wasn't a moment when I was bored, the film was engaging, fun and extremely interesting. The acting was amazing the usage of different languages and the obscuring of information in particular subtitles for when a different language is being spoken depending on which perspective we were seeing, was an amazing touch.  The acting by pretty much all of the characters was amazing.

Pacific Rim was an amazing movie the Special FX and CGI were spectacular every fight scene was vivid and great to watch. Pacific Rim was exciting, fun and a great time. The acting was great all of the main characters and a few of the supporting characters were extremely likable and realistic.
