“The Pursuit of Happyness” Movie Review

“The Pursuit of Happyness” Plot Summary

A struggling salesman takes custody of his son as he’s poised to begin a life-changing professional endeavor. add synopsis

I’m still wiping the tears from my eyes

I was so hesitant to see The Pursuit of Happiness for one reason, this movie looked like an incredible tear jerker, just from the trailer I was nearly crying. But my friend and I had been hearing incredible reviews about this movie, so we decided to suck it up and see the movie today and we were just blown away by how amazing Will Smith’s performance was. He and his son were just so incredibly heart warming and really reminded you of the important things in life. I was so touched by Chris’s story, he was so determined, this movie makes you wanna go out and achieve your dreams and to never let anyone tell you what is right and what is wrong, what you can and cannot do

Chris Gardner is a struggling salesmen trying just to make the rent, buy food, and take the best care of his son that he possibly can. When his wife leaves him and his son to go get a better life, Chris is left on his own, but he wins an internship at a stocks broker company that is very competitive. Against incredible odds, he just pulls through the ultimate lows of life and keeps his head up with his son by his side. They become homeless, living in hotels, homeless shelters, and even a cruddy subway bathroom! But Chris holds on to his ultimate dream of being happy and giving him and his son the life they truly deserve

This movie in every way possible is perfect, it was so brilliantly made and just so inspiring. Will Smith better be nominated for an Oscar next month! This was an incredible performance and his son was just so cute, I guess talent really does run in his family. :) I would highly recommend The Pursuit of Happiness this year! It was a beautiful film that makes you feel like you can achieve anything you truly put you heart too, I just wish I brought more tissues! 10/10

“Scrooged” Movie Review

“Scrooged” Plot Summary

A cynically selfish TV executive gets haunted by three spirits bearing lessons on Christmas Eve. add synopsis

A very enjoyable film

This movie is fantastic. Although the supporting cast is great, every single other actor is completely out shined by Murrays brilliance. To me it’s kind of a shame that he’s been recognized mostly for his work with Wes Anderson. Although he brings a certain flavour to all of the Wes films you never quite find yourself begging for more Bill as you would after this picture, or What about bob. This movie made me think about all of the roles Murray either should have been cast as, or roles he should have taken. I couldn’t help but think that he may have made a better American Psycho than Christian Bale, and I’m a huge Bale/Bateman fan. Bottom line, the humour is anything but cheesy, and you may find yourself laughing at your TV with no one around because Bill is genuinely funny in this role

Approved!

    “The Perfect Storm” Movie Review

    “The Perfect Storm” Plot Summary

    An unusually intense storm pattern catches some commercial fishermen unaware and puts them in mortal danger.

    Greatest Film i saw that summer

    I remember reading this book a year ago, it was superb. It will remain in my library as long as i have one. I saw the movie a short while afterwards (i picked up the book when the shooting for the film was just ending). I purposely refused to read the critic’s reviews until i had seen it. Honestly, it was one of the most magnificent films i had seen in a theater. It had plenty of action and suspense, but held a sturdy plot, unlike most Willis or Stallone films currently. It’s previous existence in book form helped it I’m sure. Clooney adopts a rugged look and sound that would make you think he’d never appear on a Teen magazine. Mark Wahlberg is also an extraordinary actor in this film, it’s good to see him go so far in just these past few years. The volume jumps around a little (a personal pet-peeve of mine), but the sound effects and computer graphics on the waves are magnificent. The only thing that bothered me was the constant jokes and ego-boosting coming from the group of teenagers near me. I’m sure this will be fixed with any video or DVD version though :) Afterwards, i did read the reviews, many were sub-par. Often, the professional critics commented on the physics of the waves and visibility in weather conditions… Please don’t forget that this is a movie. For the sake of entertainment, sacrifice the details (you’ll only notice them if you’re a fisherman anyway).

    “Saw VI” Movie Review

    “Saw 6″ Plot Summary

    Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy…

    Excellent, Excellent, Excellent. Best Saw yet, but not by much!

    Almost everyone looks for a 6th sequel(if there is one) to flop miserably, but this sequel defied all odds. In order to appreciate the full value of Saw 6 you must have followed and payed attention to all previous Saws. Saw 6 answers lots of questions from previous Saws in style and Saw 6 has an awesome story on its own. Hoffman becomes an incredible character, as he was shaky in both Saw 4 and in Saw 5. Tobin Bell (Jigsaw) gives a performance Oscar worthy. Some of the acting was poor, but for the most part a lot better than other Saw films. The Traps were good and there was a lot of suspense while they were taking place. The Traps also took time and creativity to come up with and were unlike any other traps in previous films, which was really hard to do!(except in the end trap which reverts to Saw 1!!). Go see Saw 6, you will not be disappointed.

    “Raiders of the Lost Ark” Movie Review

    “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” Plot Summary

    Archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the US government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis.

    Great Movie! A Must-See Adventure!!!!

    When I first saw this movie, I could not believe it, because I just did not think that it was possible to make a movie like this. But they did and it worked great! My favorite scene was where Jones ran into that guy with the sword in Cario and it looked like a very big fight was coming up! When we see this, we are sitting on the edge of our seats, the tension is rising

    Then out of the blue, Jones doesn’t want to do it, and so he just pulls out a gun and shoots him!! That scene is funny! I’m not saying that death is funny, its just how it happened! Because a few moments before he was beating up all of those bad guys and he had the gun

    When I first saw this movie, I absent mindedly asked my mother if that was the real Ark, she said no because no one knows where the real Ark is, no one! This movie is one of the greatest adventure movies that I have ever seen in my whole entire life, and I am sure that all of you who have seen this movie will agree.10/10

    “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” Movie Review

    “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” Plot Summary

    Famed archaeologist/adventurer Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls.

    The adventure continues

    (Minor spoilers) This is the first Indy film I got to see in a movie theater so I must say I was very excited when I arrived for a midnight screening. I don’t intend to write down an overly long introduction paragraph because most people will know who Indiana Jones is and if you don’t you should watch those movies immediately

    Having said that I do feel the need to refer to Raiders of the Lost Ark when writing about Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Raiders started out as one idea being that of an action hero involved in a truck chase. After the action was written, they added a story. It seems like they did it the other way around this time as none of the action scenes are as memorable as the ones you’ve seen in the previous movies. They’re great, of course, but not instant classics like the boulder scene in raiders and the mine car chase in Temple of Doom and it sometimes feels as if the action is too uninspired. I sometimes felt like they needed to go a little bit more over the top but when they did, they kind of went too much over the top

    Now the fans might think ‘Hey, wait a minute! I like the franchise, don’t bitch about it too much!’ To those fans I want to say that the reason I focus on the negative is because most of the negative reviews don’t cover the negative aspects of the film but rather Ford’s age and that this movie is ‘more of the same’. Now that I’ve seen the movie I can only assume that those negative reviews were written before the critics saw the movie because Ford’s age is really not an issue here and it seems like they miss the real flaws of the movie. The biggest flaw is that Indy finds clues which lead him to the next clue until he finally reaches his final destination with the greatest of ease, National Treasure style. Instead of trying to keep up with the villains, he’s always a step ahead until they finally catch him after which Indy escapes again by using his fists instead of his wit. Another flaw that many people will disagree with is that the jungle is not a good place for an adventure movie because it’s done too often

    But there’s a reason I gave the movie an eight (I would give it a 7.5 if IMDb would let me). George Lucas said that the movie would be the same as the others but based on the movies of the fifties instead of serials from the thirties. However, the fifties and the thirties are so different that I don’t think it would have been possible to make this movie the same. It’s set in the fifties and the movie is made as if it were the fifties instead of 2008. People who studied film history will know what that means and some typical 1950s stuff, like paranoia caused by the communist threat, is present in the movie as well

    I don’t want to spoil too much but I must warn the big Indy fans that this movie is different. Be prepared for everything so you won’t have a giant WTF floating above your head when the movie reaches its climax. It’s not as different as Phantom Menace was compared to the original Star wars trilogy so don’t expect too much unnecessary CGI. There is still a lot of stunt work and good humor and the acting is very good.

    “Wild Hogs” Movie Review

    “Wild Hogs” Plot Summary

    A group of suburban biker wannabes looking for adventure hit the open road, but get more than they bargained for when they encounter a New Mexico gang called the Del Fuegos.

    Must Watch

    This movie has to be one of my all time favorites. John Travolta was an absolute champion in this movie and had me in tears laughing

    For those who don’t know, wild hogs is a movie about a bunch of nerds or wimps who went to high school together and decide to go out on a road trip

    This movie just keeps getting funnier, its unpredictable and just totally random in a way but it still follows the story line. To conclude this movie is a must watch and i can almost guarantee that you will be in stitches laughing at these mates try to be cool biker dudeMitch
