“American Wedding” Movie Review
“American Pie: The Wedding” Plot Summary
The third film in the American Pie series deals with the wedding of Jim and Michelle and the gathering of their families and friends, including Jim’s old friends from high school and Michelle’s little sister.
A Grand Finale!!!
American Wedding is the funniest film in the American Pie series. Most of the original gang is back to see Jim and Michelle tie the knot. But, the two characters have to overcome a couple of obstacles. One obstacle is making sure Stifler behaves himself. Does he… not really. Stifler throws a bachelor party when Michelle’s parents are supposed to turn up, eats dog crap while saying it’s chocolate, losing the ring, and having sex with Jim’s grandmother. Stifler is by far the most funniest character in the film, especially when he plays nice boy. Jim and his father are funny, too. I liked the part when Jim shaves his privates and throws the shavings out the window and into people’s mouths and wedding cake. The characters are original and hilarious. The acting was great, so was the directing. As with the first two films, there is a great soundtrack. I recommend seeing this grand finale. I rate this film a 10/10.

“Fame” Movie Review
“Fame” Plot Summary
An updated version of the 1980 musical, which centered on the students of the New York Academy of Performing Arts.
A surprise
I saw this film by myself in the cinema which gave me the chance to really focus on it-since I went to an early show. I thought the film would be a flop-I was kind of just killing time-in a nutshell. Surprisingly, I found the film very well done, hard and soft in all the right places-and bang on in its portrayals of the disciplinarians that exists in many American families. I was completely blown away by some of the music in the film. All in all I had a really good time and wasn’t expecting to at all
I saw the film Rent when that came out and I was expecting to have a better time than I did at it-I found Rent depressing whereas this one was really very life affirming in many ways
I guess you either get it or you don’t, just like you either appreciate the better dance and trance tunes or ya don’t.

“Beauty and the Beast” Movie Review
“Beauty and the Beast” Plot Summary
Belle, whose father Maurice is imprisoned by the Beast (really an enchanted Prince), offers herself instead and finds the prince inside the Beast.
The most beautiful love story ever told.
” The Beauty and The Beast” is one of the greatest stories ever told and one of the best movies from Disney that I watched in my life. I always identified myself with Belle, the girl who does not belong the place where she is lives and also with a big taste of reading lots of books. Our story takes part in France in 18 century, and our main character Belle is the prettiest girl in the city she lives, being the object of the affection and interest of Gaston, an arrogant man that has the sympathy of the people of the region.(And also considered a big catch for the girls of the city)But Belle is not interested in him and always imagined her life different from the domestic life people always imagine for her
One day, Belle’s father, an inventor, was going to sell one of his inventions and lost his ways, being attacked by wild animals and entering in a big dark mansion apparently without a owner. He stays there for a time, but soon the Beast comes up and attacks him,making him a prisoner in his castle
Belle stays worried and goes after her father in the mansion and there she sees the violent and awful beast who locked her father. She then makes a deal: Belle agrees to stay in the dark castle with the horrible beast in return to her father’s freedom. But with the time, Belle is going to discover all the magic that is beyond the castle, including the talking objects and even a nice side that the Beast has
This story is very inspiring and very beautiful! =)

“The Princess and the Frog” Movie Review
“The Princess and the Frog” Plot Summary
A fairy tale set in Jazz Age-era New Orleans and centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana and her fateful kiss with a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again.
By Jove…it’s actually GOOD!
I’ve said my share of disparaging words against the Walt Disney Company, and let’s face it; they’ve put out more than their share of garbage over the years. It seems as if Pixar has been pulling their dead weight for the past decade as they’ve put out offensively bad DTV releases and pumping their money and resources into their sub par T.V. station and musical acts (though I will say that Lilo and Stitch, as well as The Emperor’s New Groove, which I consider to be one of Disney’s funniest releases). Yes, it seemed that all hope was lost for the Mouse and that anything original and thought provoking associated with the Disney name would have that cute little bouncing lamp right along side
Imagine my surprise when I saw The Princess and the Frog yesterday. Surprise nothing! I nearly went into a shock induced coma. This was a brilliant film, something truly worthy of Uncle Walt’s iconic signature. This film had all the makings of a Disney classic: great story, great characters, great music, and of course, great art
One thing I always give the Walt Disney Co. credit for is their masterful art work in their features, even the less than stellar ones. This has, especially, been the case the past 20-25 years. Some of the same artists that worked on the more recent classics like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast worked on Princess and the Frog. I was told after the film that the same man that drew Belle (Randy Cartwright) drew for Tiana, and you can tell. The art in general in this movie is extremely impressive. Not only are all the characters well drawn, but the backgrounds are breath taking, very reminiscent of Hunchback of Notre Dame. They seem to take you into a painting of the location without losing it’s touch with reality. Also, the use of different art styles stood out, especially the ‘Almost There’ number, which was drawn mostly in the Art Deco style
Randy Newman’s score left the biggest impression on my after the film was over, though. I think this is the first time a Disney feature used, primarily, North American music styles like jazz, ragtime, southern gospel, and even zydeco. Of course, like any great Disney feature; Princess and the Frog had it’s signature musical number: the previously named ‘Almost There’. With a great tune, appropriate lyrics, and of course, the voice of Anika Noni Rose; I’m sure (and I hope) this will become another Disney standard. Unlike some Disney films, there wasn’t that dreadful ‘Oh dear merciful God, when is this going to end’ number. Every song was thought out, appropriate for it’s setting, and just…good. Kudos to Randy Newman, who will hopefully get an Oscar nomination (at least) for this film
Then, of course, there’s the high water mark for not only Disney movies, but for movies in general, especially animation films: characters and story. Movies can have an amazing score and even good animation, but if the story flops and if the characters are insufferable, then it’s going nowhere. This movie, thankfully, had neither problem. There was no character that you wish would just go get himself or herself bent. Everyone served his or her purpose in the movie
Like many of the newer Disney movies, The Princess and the Frog had a, well…Princess character that was blue collar and hard working
Tiana is young woman from the slums of New Orleans, whose sole purpose in life is to open up a successful restaurant serving authentic Louisiana cuisine. Of course, the man puts her down and she finds herself sunk. I will say that I’m VERY proud of Disney for not shoving the race issue down our throats and, at the same time, for not avoiding it all together. This was seen in the scene where the land lords of the building she’s looking to purchase
At the same time, a lazy hedonistic prince comes to New Orleans looking for a (Rich) bride since his monetary supply has been cut off by his parents. He sets his sights on a bona fide southern belle named Charlotte, Tiana’s foil and best friend. The Prince and his reluctant English servant (what prince would be complete without one) get sidetracked by a voodoo man/street performer named Dr. Facilier aka ‘The Shadow Man’, a slick deceitful crook with his own silhouette as a side kick (and yes, they are able to make it work). Dr. Facilier says both Prince Naveeh and Lawerence will get what they both desire most (money and a life without servitude, respectively). Louis is turned into the Prince (or at least, given his body) while Naveeh turns into…a smiley frog; which as we learn throughout the film is mucus
Naveeh meets Tiana after she changes clothes (and after her dreams of owning her own restaurant). Tiana, who is less than fond of frog, tries to kill our hero; but later finds out that this is a frog with a difference…he can talk. After Naveeh sees a copy of a print version of, appropriately enough, the Princess and the Frog, he asks Tiana (Who is wearing a tiara at the time) to kiss him, believing that she is, indeed, royalty herself; though he later finds out that she is a waitress. He promises that after she kisses him, something she is far from enthusiastic about, he will make her dream of owning her own restaurant a reality. Well, she does kiss him, but there’s a bit of a SNAFU: she turns into a frog herself. The two of them must find a way to become human again. Along the way, they meet a cavalcade of characters including a trumpet playing alligator (and yes, they are able to make it work somehow) and a Cajun firefly named Ray
The Princess and the Frog, a movie (I hope) that is destined for greatness.

“American Beauty” Movie Review
“American Beauty” Plot Summary
Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after developing an infatuation for his daughter’s attractive friend.
a very well done film that continues to amaze me…
When I first saw this movie in theaters, I found it to be very funny. When I rented it at home, I found it to be very sad and complex. Looking at it now, I realize that it is surely one of the most extraordinary films ever to come out of Hollywood. To some it may look trite or cliched, or maybe too un-ordinary to be worthy of its praise, but the overall impact of this film is extremely powerful. After you’ve seen it, you know you’ve seen something
A few notable elements stand out. The direction is superb; this is visually a superior film, for the director understands the subtle changes in tone. The writing is equally compelling; the story effortlessly interweaves multiple stories to create one amazing movie. The haunting music is also notable. Lastly is the acting. Kevin Spacey has done excellent films before, and he can add this one to the list. He may be a little to witty to suggest the overshadowed character he portrays, but he simply disappears into the role. Annette Bening is also fine; a less strong role, but she is magnificent none the less. As the teenagers, Thora Birch is able to mesmerize us with one intense look; her ‘typical teenager’ role is fleshed out completely. I enjoyed Mena Suvari’s character equally. It seemed that she did not receive as much acclaim, but her performance evokes both innocence and experience, and her scenes toward the end give her a depth unlike any other character. And Wes Bentley, as the video-taping boy next door, is easily the most original character. At first he seems a little tense, but, like Spacey, he sinks into the role. His ‘purpose’ in the film, unlike anyone else’s, is a mystery, thus making him the most enigmatic person
Most films are able to make a lasting impression on its audience, but never has a movie been known to ‘move’ its viewers as much as this movie. It truly says something about life, no matter how predictable or tacky it appears, this film disturbingly shows us how to appreciate our individual lives, so therefore, when they are over, we each have something to remember.

Enjoyable
I’m always up for a good ghost story, and this i found worth the time and effort of watching
Mike Fox was very good. One of his best performances, i thought. A good solid adult role playing a shuckster making not-your-normal living. The character definitely had one of the stranger ways of paying-the-bills in moviedom
And Combs was a hoot and a half. Think Dr. Herbert West if the wacky doctor had gone into law enforcement instead of reanimating bodies
Busey did a very nice job of being the homicidal maniac. He left no doubt that his character was a total nutcase
Usually i’m not so impressed by movies being shot in New Zealand as for some reason, tackiness is sometimes an unintended result. But for this movie, the New Zealand location worked very well
I liked the art design on the movie case. It fit the movie to a tee
Actually worth watching? Sure. It’s a good story told with good production values and good performances by the actors. It’s one of my favorites and i have my own personal copy which i pull out and have fun re-watching every once in a while.

“Pitch Black” Movie Review
“The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black” Plot Summary
A group of marooned space travelers struggle for survival on a seemingly lifeless sun-scorched world.
Surprisingly good movie ;)
Pitch Black is a surprisingly good movie. I was not a fan of Vin diesel before I saw Pitch black, but after seeing Pitch Black my respect for Vin Diesel has gone up. He did a great job playing Riddick a man wanted for many murders. His character is cold and makes many decisions that surprised me, like near the end Riddick was going to get on the ship and save his own ass leaving everyone behind to die. I like this movie and how it deals with human instinct. This movie is low budget but this movie goes to show you don’t need amazing special effects and lots of money to make a good movie, I think all the characters made this movie. I give this movie 8 out of 10 ;)

“The Wedding Singer” Movie Review
“The Wedding Singer” Plot Summary
Robbie, the singer and Julia, the waitress are both engaged to be married but to the wrong people. Fortune intervenes to help them discover each other.
A great fun film to watch for the whole family!
I was just watching the Wedding Singer last night on television. I still love this film for all its quirks. I love the fact that it was set in the eighties. Contemporary music and MTV with all its real world shows are not the same as in the eighties. I become very nostalgic watching this film. I remember all the songs, the Madonna look of the moment, the Rubix cube, Freddy Kruger, etc. It is hard to believe that it’s almost twenty years since 1985. It was much better in 1985 for me, I was still a child and there were always music videos on MTV. They weren’t just concert videos neither. They told little stories. I wished that we were still in the eighties with the music and culture. Besides all the eighties stuff, they never tried to outdo it in the film. It really is a beautiful, sweet love story between Drew Barrymore’s character, Julia, and the wedding singer, Robby Hart. I love the flight to Vegas and I won’t spoil the ending for anybody else. The scenes at reception hall were always a pleasure to watch and a great cast. I love watching fellow SNL–Jon Lovitz, Laura Kightlinger, Kevin Nealon, play even small roles. I loved Ellen Law playing Rosie. She was the best supporting character in this film. The fact that Billy Idol is also in it playing himself is another reason to watch. I wish there were films about the 80s.

“Twilight” Movie Review
“Twilight” Plot Summary
A teenage girl risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire.
Twilight
I’m an avid Twilight reader and stalker (yes I went to Hot Topic tour.) I can’t remember a time when I was SO anxious and excited to see a movie. I just saw Twilight at a screening in San Francisco on 11/17. I left the theatre feeling..indifferent
First of all, I knew the movie was not going to be based exactly to the books but at the same time it kind of hurts me to say that it just wasn’t good. ~sigh I felt that the director Catherine tried to bring her indie elements into the Hollywood style movie that just didn’t work. The opening scene with the deer was alright, but I was just about to laugh out loud when the movie got to Edward and Bella finally acknowledging what Edward truly was. This was the biggest issue I had. I didn’t think viewers were able to experience the intensity of Bella and Edward relationship. I wouldn’t believe that Bella was ready to place her undying pledge to go vamp at the end. The scene was so choppy, where it felt like the scene was full of greatest hits of one liners all cram into this one scene. It wasn’t the turning point as where it should have been. The movie was clearly not based on romance, which is the ultimate theme of the book. The movie hastily breezed through the courtship development to finally get to the lingering action sequence
I like Robert but he just couldn’t pull off a convincing Edward. His reaction to Bella in Biology class was just laughable. Again Catherine trying to pull the artsy camera cuts— silly, silly. Jasper’s reaction was humorous also
Edward’s showing Bella who he was in the sun was not remarkable. His body hardly glisten. Couldn’t they get Britney’s Swarovski body suit from her ‘Toxic’ video? The movie nicely brought out Rosalie’s dislike for Bella. Alice was very convincing and good. Carlise was attractive and fitting
I was surprised by the diverse student body of Forks. I liked Jessica a lot. It was hard to see her as the small minded character as how she was written in the book
All in all, this movie wasn’t made for fans of the book, but to lure moviegoers into (hopefully) the film franchise
Little things that could have been included in the movie to make the readers happy wasn’t included. Such as why couldn’t Bella wear the blue V neck sweater when meeting the Cullens for the first time? Why couldn’t Bella attack Edward on the onset of their first kiss? Why couldn’t Edward’s couch be black? Why did James bite Bella on her forearm and not her hand? As a Twilighter, I think I may go see it again just to see if my reactions change, but I wouldn’t recommend this film to any non-Twilighters.

“Notorious” Movie Review
“Notorious” Plot Summary
The life and death story of Notorious B.I.G. (a.k.a. Christopher Wallace), who came straight out of Brooklyn to take the world of rap music by storm.
Interesting!
Notorious tells the story of a Brooklyn junkie who later turned out to be one of the most world-wide known rappers. And that person was Christopher ‘Notorious B.I.G’ Wallace, a junkie who turned to rapping and then produced albums that made millions while also making a name for himself. Jamal Woolard plays the role of Biggie Smalls exceptionally well and he also shares a similar face and body. It tells the story of Biggie Smalls life from 1972 to 1997 starting from his childhood all the way to his death. The rap music is the great thing about this film but Lil’ Kim’s live stage rap was totally unnecessary and inappropriate. This film shows that a celebrities life-style isn’t all that great and when they think that they have everything, next thing they are getting divorced. The acting from some, Like Angela Bassett and Jamal Woolard, were very promising and they really settled into the life or Biggie Smalls. If you ever wanted to know more about Notorious B.I.G then this film must is supposed to be on your must-watch list. The language is very rude and uncool because they are swearing in every line, Motherf*cker that and this! What is the world coming to? NOTORIOUS is the story of Christopher Wallace. Through raw talent and sheer determination, Wallace transforms himself from Brooklyn street hustler (once selling crack to pregnant women) to one of the greatest rappers of all time; THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. Follow his meteoric rise to fame and his refusal to succumb to expectations – redefining our notion of ‘The American Dream.’ The story does get interesting and a lot of lessons are learned and this film sent out a message saying: It’s never too late to change yourself
If you are a drama and rapping fan then by unanimous decision this film is what you need to watch. Jamal Woolard looks really weird and cute at the same time when he gets that weird smile on his face (See the scene between Faith and him at the end). Marc John Jefferies has given one of the best performances in the film as he portrays a young Lil’ Cease. The film also tells the story of Tupac’s and Smalls friendship that turned into a racial break up.
