“I Love You, Beth Cooper” Movie Review
“I Love You, Beth Cooper” Plot Summary
A nerdy valedictorian proclaims his love for the hottest and most popular girl in school Beth Cooper during his graduation speech. Much to his surprise, Beth shows up at his door that very night and decides to show him the best night of his life.
A Nice Twist on the Coming of Age Genre
One of the main characters spends the ENTIRE movie quoting lines from other movies — why then should it come as a surprise that the movie itself operates as a pastiche of the coming-of-age/teen rite-of-passage film? And yet, I Love You Beth Cooper provides a neatly drawn, dark commentary on its predecessors, while maintaining its own quirky lightheartedness
I was particularly pleasantly surprised by Hayden Panettiere’s performance (I am not a fan of Heros) and felt she conveyed the ultimate sadness of her character beautifully, with just the right touch of cynicism and self-awareness to make the character work. I felt she easily transcended the actress and became the title character, providing what might have been a fluff piece with dramatic substance
Paul Rust as the nerdy hero was fun to watch and even believable – I gradually came to accept the possibility that this geek and his self-deprecating manner could indeed win the beauty. The supporting players were also quite excellent, lending interesting subtexts and character depth to the film. The director made the good choice to allow the supporting cast to step up and take over the action at times, providing a living backdrop for the looming choices and growing awareness of Rust’s and Panettiere’s performances. Both allowed me to care about what happened to their characters
A special mention goes to Shawn Roberts for his superb job as the villain. While the villain’s ultimate comeuppance was a bit of letdown (because the film too abruptly dropped that storyline), Roberts provided a convincing performance for what is, after all, the stereotypical villain role
A lot of what this movie, and this type of movie, is about is wish-fulfillment. The ‘transformation’ of the bully rang especially true — who among us has not wished the same for their own childhood bullies? And in that sense, I Love You Beth Cooper delivers strongly on this promise, allowing us to join the characters in the universe of the film and cheer them on
I tend to judge a film like this one in terms of whether or not I enjoy being in its universe for the duration. It’s not often that during a film that I regret the passage of time– that is, that I know the film will end soon and wish it wouldn’t. And that I begin to wonder how the story might continue. I would have happily remained in the world of I Love You Beth Cooper for a little while longer. And yes, I’d like to know what happens at the characters’ reunion
A few of the director’s choices confused me -especially the rather protracted memory sequences, when the characters relive parts of their childhood. The film’s rather brisk pacing abruptly shifts into slow motion during these scenes, some of which are just a wee bit long. But I gradually became used to this–and came to see them as a sort of counterpoint to the otherwise frenetic plot
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. However, my rating – 9/10 – reflects ONLY how I feel the movie holds up within its category and genre, and NOT its place in the history of film. It’s just a teen comedy–but a really good one
A caveat: I watched this at home, not in a theater. Whether or not the movie translates well to the big screen (and the price of admission) is a subject I cannot comment on.

“Remember the Titans” Movie Review
“Remember the Titans” Plot Summary
The true story of a newly appointed African-American coach and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit.
Best Movie I’ve Ever Seen !
Remember the Titans was one of the best movies I have ever seen. It really showed the passions of all of the people in the movie. It showed that a single high school football team can change the minds of a town and what they think about each other. It taught us a good lesson on racism. Most people just think of movies as entertainment but Remember the Titans was so much more than that and people could really learn a lesson by watching this movie. I suggest that every person watch this at least once in their life because it changed the way I look at everybody. Each character in the movie really had an important part and I can’t believe that this really happened in real life. It is a painful thing to think about how messed up our world is and how it is so full of hatred.

“Dinosaur” Movie Review
“Dinosaur” Plot Summary
An orphaned dinosaur raised by lemurs joins an arduous trek to a sancturary after a meteorite shower destroys his family home. add synopsis
Still One of My Favorites
I was a fairly little kid when this movie came out, and it was my very favorite movie of all time; I would watch it almost every night. Nine years later, and it’s still one of my favorites. I fell in love with the animation, of course, particularly the extraordinarily detailed carnotaurs, and the characters had surprisingly well-developed personalities for a Disney kid’s movie. Aladar was perhaps the least interesting, but Bayleen, Eema and Zini were impossible not to love. Although the plot was rather thin, the underlying themes, the subplots, the animation, the characters and the way they interacted- it all made up for it. The music was spectacular
I didn’t care about the factual errors, and I still don’t think they take away from the fun of this movie. Saying that this movie was unrealistic is like saying Airplane was ridiculous. It wasn’t meant to be a documentary, and treating it like one is setting yourself up for disappointment. Yes, the dinosaurs talked, but to a little kid, that’s what brought them to life. If they hadn’t talked, the magic would be lost on those kids, and money would be lost as well
Besides, the ending is thought-provoking and hopeful; it stays with you even after the credits have begun to roll. I find myself left with a very different feeling after watching it again now than I did when I was little
Just sit back and enjoy the ride. You won’t regret it.
