Blog 5: Everybody's Fine

The movie Everybody's Fine is about an old man around 60 years old realizes that after his wife was the only thing that kept his family together. After she passed away he saw that he no longer had much contact with his kids anymore. He decides to set out on a road trip to go visit his children and catch up with them. Except little does he know that the lives of his children aren't as he expected it to be. Everybody's fine tells the story of the journey and his discoveries along the way. This movie was absolutely heart touching. Had me in tears throughout the whole movie. The movie made me realize that many people have somewhat a same situation where one family member is what keeps the family together and once they pass away everything falls apart. I fell in love with this movie with all the situations the old man was faced with to the problems his children had. I was a bit confused at first to why the children didn't really want his father to their to spend quality time with them but at the end you find out. I give this movie an A.

Blog 5: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is about this innocent kid named Bruno that doesn't know anything about World War 2 or anything that his leader Hitler is doing to the Jews. Since his father is a soldier and runs one of the concentration camp, they set out to move closer to that concentration camp to have his job a bit easier. While there Bruno finds a out where the concentration camp is, but thinks it is a farm. As he's there he gets to know this kid that is a Jew and he grows a friendship with him. 
I absolutely loved this movie! I think it captured a lot of what was happening back then. It shows how a lot people really got manipulated by Hitler making them think Jews were bad people. It also shows how many people didn't like anything that Hitler was doing. I was in tears throughout the whole movie. I'm a big weenie coming to sad movies but I really felt like this movie really did bring out my real tears because this is something that really happened in history. I enjoyed this movie very much and give it A .

Blog 3: The Final



In the movie The Final a couple of students are tired of being bullied by a bunch of "cool kids". So they take matters into their own hands. They set up a plan where the bullies lives will change forever. They gather all the "cool kids" at a Halloween party and begin to torture them. I think that this movie was a bit ridiculous. Except I really like the idea of the nerds getting revenge. It's kind of a good story to make bullies think twice about the actions that they did. I loved the costumes that they had on, they portrayed evil people. I think it wasn't much of a horror movie. I enjoyed this movie.I loved the ending to it! How they ended the movie on how it pretty much started. This movie also gives me a lesson like to think twice about the actions that I do because I never know if I'm hurting someone. I think this movie would deserve a B-.

Blog 2: Death Sentence

Nick Hume has a perfect life that everyone wants. Until one night after his sons hockey game, they pass by a gas station to fill the tank. Little did he know that one stop would change his life forever. A few guys went in and killed his son that same night. The movie was really intense and I loved it! The whole drama of the Nick Hume trying to figure our who killed the guy and tracking people down. The only thing I didn't like was that Nick was a nice guy with good manners and I think the movie changed his personality drastically. It made him into a guy that he wasn't. I think that movie could have been a little bit more realistic in some parts, but then again in many movie a train can run over a person and yet the person still lives. I really liked the beginning of the movie but in my opinion they could have had a better ending to it. I give this movie a C.

Blog 1 : Midnight in Paris

The movie is a romantic comedy that it set in Paris. It's about a family that goes there because of a business. The film follows Gil Pender, a screenwriter who is forced to confront the problems with his materialistic fiancee. Soon he finds himself traveling back to the 1920's and having adventures with many people from the twenties. He soon begins to realize is he really does love his fiancee.
I really enjoyed this movie because it took me back to the 1920's and made me feel as if I was in the movie too living the days in the 1920's. It was pretty interesting how Gil Pender is traveling back in time and he realizes that the life that he is living in the present time isn't the life he wants to actually live. The movie is romantic and comedy. Some parts had me laughing for a while. I loved how they brought many old writers from the 1920's in the movie, they had perfect acting. The ending was cheesy in way and could have had a better ending. In my opinion I think this movie deserves a B.

Blog 8: White House Down

Cale has just been denied his dream job with the Secret Service of protecting the President. Not wanting his little girl Emily to know the news that he didn't get the job he decides to take on a tour around the white house. While they're at the white house a group of people come and attack the white house. Now Cale had to keep the president safe and try to look for his daughter that he lost while the big commotion happened. When I first heard about this movie, I thought it would be boring just by the title of it. Once a lot of people started recommending me to watch the movie I decided that I wouldn't loose anything from watching this movie. On the bright side Channing Tatum is an actor so he'll make the movie way better with his good looks. Once into the movie I was so into it and kept me at the edge of my seat. It was such a good movie. The only part I really disliked is when the bad guys are cartoonish and you kind of realize that this can't really happen and I kind of toon out of the movie. Also many parts the happened were a but unrealistic to me because they get hurt and keep on going like nothing is wrong. Except mostly in every movie that happens... they can get hit by a train and still survive to kill the bad guy. Overall I give this movie a B+ because it was a really intense movie.
