“(500) Days of Summer” Movie Review

“(500) Days of Summer” Plot Summary

An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who doesn’t believe true love exists, and the young man who falls for her.

Fresh & Original Romantic Comedy

This was an excellent romantic comedy, although many might not agree that it is either romantic or a comedy. I found myself laughing out loud at many of the scenes, but the laughs in the theater were few, and I think most people would label this a drama with streaks of black comedy

The driving force behind what makes this movie work (beside the script) is Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom Hansen, who carries the movie on the basis of his physical comedy and acting ability. He is the unrequited love interest in the film. JGL does have brief glimpses of true love with Summer (Zooey Deschanel) but it’s clear she’s not interested in anything permanent, just a good time. After his initial sexual encounter with Summer, JGL engaged in a choreographed dance routine of Hall & Oats ‘Your Making my Dreams Come True’, which should win JGL some type of award

Deschanel plays the role she usually plays, soulful & pretty free spirit. She played the character very well and the movie viewer could well understand her reticence to engage in a long term affair with Tom

These types of movies might leave some cold, but the ending turned out well

One additional bonus was Chloe Moritz, who played Tom’s younger teenage sister and Psycho-Analyst. She was great

A very good movie worth checking out. A near perfect date movie I might add.

“Yes Man” Movie Review

“Yes Man” Plot Summary

A guy challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year.

He is back, finally!!

First of all I would like to say that this movie might seem like Liar Liar at first sight, but it is not!I think this movie is both funny and sweet. What if one word could change everything? I found myself wondering this after leaving the cinema, and I left it with a satisfied feeling of quality

This is the best Jim Carrey movie I have seen in years. I really enjoyed it and so did the rest of the audience too…And I love the soundtrack on this, the song he has as a ring-tone, Journey – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) is great, fantastic! I feel real good when I heard it, and the movie made me smile, but not just smile, also feel something! I felt real joy!!I must congratulate the director and the cast for a job well done! You made a movie that really works, and for that I am grateful! Good movies are rear these days. 9/10 for me, will buy it on blue-ray when it comes.

    “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.
