“Horton Hears a Who!” Movie Review

“Horton Hears a Who!” Plot Summary

Horton the Elephant struggles to protect a microscopic community from his neighbors who refuse to believe it exists.

A masterpiece– and funny, too!

I remember hearing about this film when it came out. And, you know what I thought? ‘Oh, this will be an ordinary children’s film that won’t have a good rating on IMDb.’ Then my mother and I came to see it, not fully knowing what to expect… And when I came out of the cinema, I was in absolute awe of ‘Horton Hears a Who!’ Let me tell you why. First of all, the film had excellent humour (including a genius anime parody sequence), yet it also possessed gripping suspense and heartrending drama. It’s likely that you’ll laugh AND cry– the climax made me excited– and probably do either or both loudly. What would happen to the Whos? Secondly, the animation is beautiful– stunningly detailed, yet not too realistic. And, finally– did I mention the intense emotions that this film made me feel? Overall, this film is a masterpiece with the perfect balance of drama and humour. Adults will love the delicious drama, while the younger people will get a good laugh. Bring the whole family — you may not regret it!

    “Wedding Crashers” Plot Summary

    John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary.

    surprisingly funny

    I’m not a guy who usually goes for the gay and sexual humor. This is not because I am a prude, but because these kinds of movies tend to take it too far and just isn’t funny after that point. Wedding Crashers, however, executed this brand of humor perfectly. Another plus that makes this movie an above average comedy is the fact that the comedy did not take away from the plot. Many movies, such as Animal House, go so out of their way to be funny that they forget that movies are meant to tell a story. Wedding Crashers did a great job of keeping the comedy in the realm of a specific plot. Wedding Crashers is a unique and fun movie and I would definitely recommend watching it.

    “Jaws” Movie Review

    “Jaws” Plot Summary

    When a gigantic great white shark begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.

    Finally, 33 years later, I’ve seen the movie that reminded us to not go in the water…

    ‘Jaws’ is a movie for the ages. It’s an example of what happens when the right people come together for the right reasons, for the right movie

    Firstly, author Peter Benchley co-wrote the screenplay (the screenplay itself is adapted from his own novel of the same name) that became one of the new, classic scary-stories of our time: a huge great white shark is terrorizing the residents of a small New England beach community. Amity Police Chief Brody (the recently departed Roy Scheider), marine expert Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and grizzled shark hunter Quint (the late Robert Shaw) are the heroic three who volunteer to have a climatic showdown with this man-eating menace appropriate described as mother nature’s ultimate killing machine

    I should make it clear that for years I was never one of this movie’s biggest fans. So I just kind of avoided it – the theme just didn’t appeal to me, since I’ve never been afraid to go swimming at the beach. But guess what? ‘Jaws’ is the classic adventure-horror of our times, and I am now amongst one of its many, many fans. A lot of things are classic about this movie – it’s pointless to even describe them here

    Also, I’m sure there are a number of scientific inaccuracies about the true nature of sharks (the recently departed shark hunter who inspired ‘Quint’ always said he felt sorry for the shark in this movie) and whether or not they are truly something to fear – but, you know what? – it’s Hollywood, they always win. And I’m also sure that the liberties with sharks were liberties well-taken for the sake of dramatic potential: This movie did its job in scaring the living daylights out of a lot of people

    Most importantly, other than serving up great scares, suspense and adventure, ‘Jaws’ is responsible for starting the career of Hollywood director Steven Spielberg. ‘Jaws’ was his claim to fame; it’s also the movie credited for starting the summer blockbuster phenomenon (this currently ranks pretty high amongst one of the highest-grossing movies of all time), and spawning three sequels and countless imitators. Spielberg would go on to do great things in his career, long after ‘Jaws,’ and he still continues to do great things to do this day because of this movie. It’s probably one of my favorite movies of his and one of my favorite movies of all time.’Jaws’ is a movie not likely to ever go away any time soon. That is part of its appeal: its ability to remain an important piece of cinema and a pop culture phenomenon that continues to genuinely frighten us even 33 years after its release. And that is also the mark of a truly great film. It’s a powerful example of what film-making can really do when the right people are involved in the right movie, for the right reasons.10/10
