“Into the Wild” Movie Review

“Into the Wild” Plot Summary

After graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.

Oscar material

I watched this movie on the aeroplane after searching through the movie list and not finding anything else interesting to watch. I didn’t even know what the film was called until the ending credits. However, what I saw was amazing – the acting and scenery was excellent and the plot was thought provoking. More people should watch this to appreciate the message to us all. I was also surprised to see it was was actually a true story which made it even more interesting (I love films that are based on true stories). It is one of the best movies i’ve seen that portrays the contrast between a materialistic world vs the natural world that is at the core of the universe. This is a film that can easily be overlooked but not forgotten.

“Four Christmases” Movie Review

“Four Christmases” Plot Summary

A couple struggles to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day.

A funny and extremely entertaining movie.

To be honest I was very excited about seeing this movie, because it looked funny, and I’m always up to see Reece Witherspoon in a comedic performance

So I came into the theater with relatively high hopes

However after the first 10 minutes(which were a bit ruff for me) I was losing hope for the film, then when it gets into the actual movie the 2 main protagonists don’t become so one dimensional anymore, but instead quite enjoyable

By the time the movie was over I just had a big smile on my face and the warm feeling inside me, like after you see a good movie

This movie I guess surprised me because I had not expected it to be THIS funny and THIS entertaining

However while it was original at times, and was very enjoyable, as a film it couldn’t help but fall into the whole cliche’e of romantic comedies(yet it still kept me on the edge of my seat), and at times it was cheesy, but hey what can really expect it to be

Overall this movie has got to be one of the better Christmas movies I’ve seen in quite awhile

It has the right amount of charm, humor, and entertainment to keep you intrigued,humored, and enough enjoyment to keep you watching it

So if your going to see any Christmas movie this year, or really any movie, by all means go see ‘Four Christmases’.

    “Wedding Crashers” Movie Review

    “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.

    “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” Movie Review

    “Dodgeball” Plot Summary

    A group of misfits enter a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament in order to save their cherished local gym from the onslaught of a corporate health fitness chain.

    Great Fun!

    Picked this up on DVD for ?3 ($6) – didn’t know anything about it We thought it one of the funniest films we’ve seen for some time. Thought I’d check out the rating and was surprised how low (6.6) it was. Then checked out some of the ‘Hated It’ comments to see why this could be I guess that a lot of people find this film offensive, with stereotypical attitudes – like how a bisexual woman could kiss both a man and a woman (an extraordinary observation). Or that it was unfair to poke fun at someone who spent all his waking hours dressed up as pirate. I think that comment came from a member of the Long John Silver Alliance

    Lighten up! Comedy – like any other artistic endeavour is subjective – all I can say is that I laughed and found that at many points the jokes were coming faster than I could process them – always a good sign

    A good combination of slapstick humour and smart-ass comments delivered at a rapid pace And an ever-popular theme: will the underdogs triumph? Watch it and find out

    “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” Plot Summary

    A bored married couple is surprised to learn that they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other. add synopsis

    beautiful film glorifying domestic and gun violence

    Trying not to write any spoilers, but the film is so predictable that just mentioning Pitt and Jolie is a huge spoiler by itself. Another shoot-em-up glorifying death and violence – including domestic violence – as a way of expressing love, set as a contest between the *** Possible Spoiler? **** CIA and Mossad, or is it FBI and Charlie’s Angels? or is it Dumb and Dumber?They say they cut out a sex scene to get a PG rating..but left in people getting murdered by the ***** Spoiler? **** hundreds. Hollywood still doesn’t understand that violence is the real pornography. Save you money and go to an adult theater if you want more wholesome porn.

    “Couples Retreat” Movie Review

    “Couples Retreat” Plot Summary

    A comedy centered around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort’s therapy sessions is not optional.

    It really worked for me

    Couples Retreat is a comedy centered around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort’s therapy sessions is not optional. Couples Retreat is like a romantic comedy but without all the romantic stuff, well maybe a little bit of romance at the end but that’s it. It has many funny moments. The locations are wonderful all the landscapes are fantastic. The cast is really good, Vince Vaughn still got the necessary to make people laugh, Jon Favreau is also very funny in this movie. Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis and Malin Akerman all three with very decent performances and the one that steals the show is Latin actor Carlos Ponce with his performance of yoga instructor, he was hilarious. To conclude, Couples Retreat is a movie with the only purpose of entertaining, and I think it accomplishes it very nice.

    “Starsky & Hutch” Movie Review

    “Starsky & Hutch” Plot Summary

    Two streetwise cops bust criminals in their red-and-white Ford Torino with the help of police snitch called Huggy Bear.

    Fun entertaining movie.

    Of all the recent buddy-cop movies, released lately this is one of the better ones

    Biggest strength of this movie is in the two main characters played by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. They are such a great screen duo together and have some great team chemistry on the screen. The movie is filled with many other great comical talented actors such as; Vince Vaughn as the main villain, Snoop Dogg and Will Ferrell and some smaller roles for famous names such as; Chris Penn, Carmen Electra, Amy Smart and Juliette Lewis

    But the movie is more then just an ordinary buddy-movie, it also is a priceless parody of ’70’s TV-shows in general. It uses some of the same camera-positions and style of editing at times, especially in the action sequences. But also the way of acting, dialog and costumes perfectly spoof all those silly ‘70 TV-series. I’m not sure if everybody catch or understood this but I really laughed out loud at some moments

    The comedy can be put in the category silly, so this movie is clearly not suitable for everyone. The humor is really over-the-top but I for one really enjoyed that. The characters are really silly but the professional comedy actors portray them extremely well and likable

    A perfectly fun comedy to kill some time with.7/10
