“Seabiscuit” Movie Review

“Seabiscuit” Plot Summary

True story of the undersized Depression-era racehorse whose victories lifted not only the spirits of the team behind it but also those of their nation. add synopsis

Good movie

One of my favorite movies. Movies based off of books make me read the book, but with this, that isn’t so. This movie and the Harry Potter ones are good enough that I don’t need to read the book- and I read all the time.. avid reader. When I first watched it years ago, it was a little boring at the beginning. I now fast forward the beginning, as I already know it and want to watch the horse parts. I think horse people would like this movie more than non-horse people. But all movies will have people that like it and don’t; different tastes and opinions, but I like this movie. There were inappropriate scenes that I’d hate when I was younger, but the horse racing is exciting. I think Seabiscuit wins… and that was like ‘Duh.’ Of course he wins. I like things that are odd/different and unlikely to succeed, so I liked the plot, the odd little horse, large jockey…

    “Almost Famous” Movie Review

    “Almost Famous” Plot Summary

    A high-school boy is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone Magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies it on their concert tour.

    Probably the best drama I have ever seen

    As musical dramas go, this is definitely one of the better; not to say the best. It has a lot of acting talent going for it too; Jason Lee, Anna Paquin, Kate Hudson, Noah Taylor etc. Pretty much every major character is played by a talented actor/actress. The story revolves around a kid, named William Miller, who always seem somewhat outcast. He gets a lucky shot when he is offered to interview his favorite band and follow them on their tour. He starts out trying hard to interview them, but quickly finds out it’s hard enough just trying to keep up with the band. He meets a girl, a groupie who doesn’t admit to being a groupie, and falls in love with her. This is a great movie about the environment of the music of the mid-sixties. A very insightful look into the world of groupies, drugs and rock’n roll. This movie is worth watching for most fans of sixties rock’n roll, people looking to find out more about the environment, or just fans of Cameron Crowe. I gave it a 10/10, and most people will probably find it equally good.

    “The Forbidden Kingdom” Movie Review

    “The Forbidden Kingdom” Plot Summary

    A discovery made by a kung fu obsessed American teen sends him on an adventure to China, where he joins up with a band of martial arts warriors in order to free the imprisoned Monkey King.

    A Chinese Fantastical Adventure

    Jackie Chan and Jet Li get together for the first time on the screen to make a fantasy adventure film. Given the talents of both actors, this is a good blend of action and humor. The film is based on the ancient Chinese legend of the Monkey king who is a master a of gong-fu, magic and wisdom

    The film starts with a American teenager(Michael Angarano) finding an ancient artifact in a pawnshop. Being a kung-fu enthusiast he takes it. But the artifact, which is in fact the favorite weapon of the Monkey king, transports him to ancient China. Here, he meets Golden Sparrow(Yifei Liu), an orphan girl whose parents were killed by the Warlord Jade(Collin Chou). He then meets Lu Yan(Jackie Chan) who is a master of Kungfu and the Monkey King(Jet Li). Together, they set off on a mission to bring down the Jade Warlord and free the people of his kingdom from his cruel ways. Director Rob Minkoff has made some fantastic films in the past like Stuart Little and Lion King. This should be a worthy addition to the list.
