Movie Title: Gamer

Director: Mark Neveldin and Brian Taylor

This movie takes place just a couple of years in the future. It involves real people playing real people. This means they are basically controlling them. You can either be controlled or get paid for it or pay to control people. It involves one man trying to escape from being played in a dangerous game to get his family back.

I loved this movie. I think it is a real interesting movie. It really makes you think about how it would be if the world really came to that. There are some parts that kind of make you sick and it’s not because of any violence. I would suggest not letting kids under the age of 13 watch this movie, unless a parent is with them. This movie really keeps you in the dark until you get closer to the end.

Movie title: Public enemies

Director: Michael Mann

This movie takes place in the years of 1933 to 1943. It’s based on true stories of the three main characters which are John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Alvin Karpis. The cop who caught them all who was Melvin Purvis. It consists of gun fights, police chases, bank robberies, and getting into jail and breaking out.

I like this movie because I love the things about history. In this movie they showed how one man can be a legend even before his death. This movie also taught some life lessons but not a lot. I believe that everyone can watch this movie no matter what age they are. Since it doesn’t take place in the present it doesn’t really have a lot of foul language.

Movie title: Inglorious Basterds

Director:  Quentin Tarantino

This movie takes place overseas. It happened from the years of 1930 to about 1945. It deals with places from France and Germany. It’s filled with tons of subtitles. This movie gives you a cool idea of how things could have gone. They try and stay true to some of the history.

I enjoyed this movie a lot; it had some good funny moments in it. I love the director he makes great movies that are full of blood and gore. He did a very good job in doing that with this movie. I would not bring kids under the age of 17 because it is filled with a lot of language and violence.

Movie title: Terminator Salvation

Director: Mc G.

What a movie! It’s full of suspense and entertainment. This movie takes place in the year 2018. The movie helps to fill in a lot of holes that maybe the other movies couldn’t. This movie makes you think of what it might be like in the future. This movie tells you about John Connors life in the future. There are still cliff hangers in this movie and it leaves you with an opening to maybe another movie.

I love this movie; I thought it was better than the third movie. I could not take my eyes off of it. Terminator Salvation keeps you interested in the movie all the way to the end. I hope they make a fifth one, because I think it would be cool nut only if they do it right. This movie is not for the general audience. Little kids should not watch this movie. If anyone is a huge fan of the terminator movies then they need to watch this one.

Title: Angels and Demons

Director: Ron Howard

This sequel to Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code, is a thrilling addition to the Robert Langdon mini-history lesson movie from a few years ago. Howard has done a good job moving this movie with the original story line of the book. There is enough intrigue to keep anyone interested in wanting to know what is going to happen next.  Personally, I think the best way to see this movie is to watch The DaVinci Code and then watch Angels and Demons. It was a nice way to snuggle up and spend an evening.

 

 

Title: I Can Do Bad All by Myself

Director: Tyler Perry

 

This movie has real life value and wisdom in it. It deals with an aunt who has a lot of problems in her life and gets kids dropped off on her door step. This movie shows you some hard facts that you have to deal with in life. It always shows ways on how you can fix some of those problems. It gives you a firsthand look at how hard choices can be and what the best way to solve them are.

I believe that this movie will help you with whatever your situations might be. This movie helps to show you that it is important to believe in people that want to help you and don’t want anything in return. It shows you that family needs to stick together and to understand one another. I think Tyler Perry does a good job in showing how church can help people out, no matter what your problem might be. I believe this movie is for a general audience but the adults might understand the points that he’s trying to make better.

TITLE: V FOR VENDETTA

DIRECTOR: JAMES McTEIGUE

 

This movie takes place in present day London. This movie deals with what would happen if the government fears their people. This movie is full of suspense, action, and entertainment.

I really like this movie, the reason why I recommend this is because it’s “a must watch movie” because it forces the viewer to face fear. I would advise children under 13 not to watch this because it has a lot of mental issues in the movie.

How would you feel if you’ve been dead for 130 years with no one to talk to?  All you feel is loneliness and nothing else.  When you can’t touch a person, when you can’t taste a delicious apple, how would that make you feel?

One by one each host (her human) died until she met Mr. Brown a English teacher at a local high school. She love’s just to sit there and learn and soon finds love. One day a boy notices her. Shocked and frightened for what was happening she tries to ignore him, but as the you further in the story she fall’s madly in love with this human who she can’t touch or feel but is he human after all?

 

I personally like this book. I recommend this mysterious love story for anyone. It is heart warming but also mind-boggling. This book will make you think about things we all take for granted everyday. A Certain Slant of Light will change your opinion on so many choices each of us make everyday.

TITLE: ICE AGE DAWN OF THE DINOSAOUR

DIRECTOR: CARLOS SALDANNA

 

This movie takes place during the past. It has all your favorite characters from the last two movies plus there are some new characters. The one new character that can talk is called Buck. Buck is a weasel who sounds like he is from the Outback. They show you a new world under their own. This is where the dinosaurs live.

 

I loved this movie. I have seen this movie three times already. It’s a great movie to take kids to. Even thought it’s a movie for kids it, is entertaining for adults. My favorite part of this movie is how they meet Buck.

Title: A Bend in the Road

Author: Nicholas Sparks

 

Miles is a middle aged widower who lost his wife in a freak car accident and as a deputy sheriff, he won’t let his demon die. He is determined to find out who really killed his wife. Accident or not he was going to get justice. Unexpectedly, he meets his son’s teacher and everything is not the same anymore. The big twist is that the killer is closer then the deputy knows.

 

Love can set you free? Is that just a saying or is it the truth? In a sense I think love can set you free, and that’s what it did for Miles. After his wife died he found it impossible to be attracted to another woman but he forms a relationship with his son’s teacher. Information gets to Miles about a suspect who might have killed his wife, but will Miles’s new lover save him from seeking justice?

 

Personally I think that this book was amazing, Sparks does a good job of showing the emotional portrait of each character. After I finished reading the book, I felt this combination of sadness and joyfulness seep into my heart, It’s kind of weird to explain, but I believe people will love this book and anyone who is interested with mystery/romance should definitely read  A Bend in the Road.

Title: Mamma Mia

Director: Phllida Lloyd

 

This movie takes place on an island. For people that love girly movies this is your dream movie. This movie also has a plus to it there’s a sing-a-long. It deals with a girl trying to find her father before she gets married. It also deals with the mom having to deal with 3 of her past relationships. For people that don’t like musicals, you wouldn’t want to watch this movie.

This movie is great to watch when you’re hanging with friends or having a sleep over. It is also a wonderful movie to watch with your mom or sisters. It can always put you in a good mood. This movie makes you believe the happy endings do happen even though you’re life isn’t going so good, it proves that things can maybe get better. This movie is for the general audience.

TITLE:  WATCHMEN

DIRECTOR:  ZACK SNYDER

 

This movie takes place in New York City. There a total of six super hero’s; Rorschach, Nite owl, The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan, Silk Spectre, and Ozymandians. They each have different powers. They are not your normal bunch of super hero’s, because they are not accepted. This movie deals with a lot of problems we have today.

 

I loved this movie. It is full of twist and turns. At one moment you think you understand whats going to happen then all of the sudden something happens to change it. This story is what a general audience would enjoy, I know I did, especially how the movie was kind of dark and I really liked the ending song. It’s Desolation Row by My Chemical Romance, you should really check it out it’s a great song. If you haven’t seen it yet you really need to.
