Blow

The film starts off with George Jung (Johnny Depp) as a young boy with his father. Then the story takes you through his life and everything he's been through. His father goes bankrupt and they lose everything but he still tries to teach George that money isn't important. Eventually George moves to California with his friend and he meets drug connects. He sarts buying and selling weed in mass amounts, making lots of money. Things only go well for so long though, this movie is based on George Jungs life and whats he's been through. I think it's a great movie and had a lot of good aspects about it. He's a G drug kingpin

Pursuit of Happiness (2007)

The Pursuit of Happiness is based on a true story of Chris Gardner's period of life struggles. After a failed investment in selling bone scanners, which dug a big whole in the family financially, Chris's wife, Linda, leaves him and moves to New York. Chris is left with his son and no "real" job. While trying to sell his scanner downtown, he runs into a manager for Dean Witter(Jay Twistle). Desperate to get a job, Chris impresses Mr. Twistle by solving a rubiks cube. Chris gets the chance to be an intern stockbroker. Everything seems fine until the rest of his money is taken by the IRS. This causes Chris and his son to be evicted, forcing them to sleep at shelters and a bathroom at a subway station. Will he get the job??

I think they did a perfect job on the film. they showed stressful situations that were REAL and REALISTIC. It shows that if you really try and have hope, you can make it. This movie is realistic because it shows struggles related to most of americans today, jobless and homelessness.

The Blind Side (2009)

Director : John Lee Hancock
Writers : John Lee Hancock, Micheal Lewis

Stars : Quinton Aaron, Sandra Bullock and Tim Mcgraw

"The Blind Side" tells a story about a young homeless teenager Micheal Oher struggling with life, and how a caring wealthy women helps and shows him the love of football . This movie is a Biopic of an all American NFL player and how he was uplifted out of poverty and found a new family . He had many obstacles and problems but either way it went him and his new family sent him to be the number one pick of the NFL draft pick .

"The Blind Side" really did capture the life of Micheal Oher . I like how the Director made the feeling realistic . You wish to keep rooting for Micheal and share his stuggle as he trys to keep his real mom and his old mom . You feel all his emotions , and the others as well . There was no over-dramatic twist that other Biopics trys to put in : you can really tell that the screen writer really had to work on this and to expose the truth . The actors really showed how they tried to support one of another as a family and you can see the chemistry . The scenery and sets up really made you fell Micheals transformation . From low proverty apartments to high up-scale mansions . This movie will really touch your heart .

Wicker Park

mathew
is convinced that Lisa, the girl he sees in a cafe, is his long lost love. Throughout the movie, he puts his career to the side as he tries to find her. He finds out where Lisa lives, but it is another girl who claims her name is also Lisa. After multiple times of failed searches and flashbacks, Matthew starts to doubt himself about Lisa.. but never stopped looking her. This movie is filled with drama and mysteries.



What made the romance in Wicker Park real was that Matt never gave up looking for Lisa and that he went for what he really wanted. The director, Paul McGuigan , shows how happy and natural Matt and Lisa were together in the short flashbacks Matt has throughout the movie. I also thought it was realistic how Matthew only had short, certain flashbacks. This was understadable since him and Lisa loved eachother 2 years ago.

50 first dates

The plot about the is true love. Where Adam Sandler falls in love with Drew barrymore who works at a waffle shop in a little tropical island with her friends and family all working their to. So Adam takes this girl on a date. 50 first dates to be correct, and her dad and her brother try so hard to stop it but they cant. So in the end he either finds true love and gets the girl or doesnt.

The possibility for their romance was that Sandler kept trying and didnt give up and he then finally showed her dad and brother that he was the one for her. These two people are trying to show that true love is anywhere if you just work for it. It was a great movie and a good story plot.

Dear John

Even Though we live in a world where distance makes love fade no matter how far away John went Savannah and his love stayed strong. From the first time they met at the beach to all the places he traveled while serving the country. The letters they wrote eachother kept them with faith and hope but the love they had forever remained in their hearts.

What made the love connection between these two so strong was the fact they were total opposites. He was more of a rebel and she was more of a good girl and the two of them together made a amazingly beautiful connection.

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days

(2003)

Brian Regan

Starring : Kate Hudson

Matthew McConaughey and Adam Goldberg

The movie "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" is about A guy named Benjamin Barry and a girl named Andie Anderson . Benjamin Berry is a hot shot advertising executive ; who makes a bet with his co - workers that he can win a bet to have a girl fall in love with him in 10 days .

She then finds herself trying to help a friend and making an agreement to lose a guy in 10 days . They Both shortly meet and compete to win their bets without either one of them knowing .

In "How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days" I like how the movie captured how easily a relationship can start even with both partners having different intentions . for instance Benjamin Berry Tried everything to be as smooth as possible and put up with things a "ladies man" like himself would never tolerate . Then Andie Anderson Tried to act like she was the perfect girl and do everything right , then later mess everything up and become to "emotional and clingy" . Through out the 10 days of their scheming and games they couldn't but help fall in love with the game .

This is a great movie to me because i can some what relate. Me and my girlfriend were just regular friends for some years until i really realized that i liked her. Im sure many people will watch this movie and be able to relate. Its a comedy but at the same time serious. I wouldn't neccesarly say its a family movie but i would say overall it is a wholesome movie for a mature audience. A movie that you can watch ans say wow i know people like this.

Elektra (2005)

Director: Rob Bowman

Witers: Mark Stephen Johnson, Frank Miller

Stars: Jennifer Garner, Goran Visnjic, Will Yun Lee

Based on the comic books written by Frank Miller, Elektra tells the semi-typical story of an assassin who grows a soft spot. As a girl who witnessed the death of her mother, Elektra (Jennifer Garner) becomes a reckless vigilante who, in the prequel Daredevil, is killed in action. Resurrected by a blind martial arts teacher, she finds work upon release as an assassin against a group of power-hungry villains called The Hand. When she's called to work on one last mission, the dreams from the night of her mother's death foreshadow the events to come.

This film kicks off with an anxious feel, Garner leaping in the shadows to attack with barely a sound. It's dark and gloomy, and at times, slow. I was sometimes left guessing at how she noticed the things that made me jump. The targets she's assigned with may be the greatest part of the movie; they seem so innocent at first, but there's a whole other story that Elektra doesn't know. Garner plays the perfect role of a femme fatale in Elektra's signature red, tight-fitting costume and offensive knives. She also did well with Elektra's OCD side, the surpressed quirks that make her lovable and deadly all at once.

Se7en (1995)

Se7en(1995)
Writer/Director: Andrew Kevin Walker, David Fincher
Starring: Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey
Genre: Crime

The movie is about two partner detectives, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. They are both not pleased with working with each other especially Morgan Freeman especially since he's about to retire and his partner, Brad Pitt plays a rookie. A serial killer targets victims of seven deadly sins and kills them in the way they sin.

I really enjoyed this movie. It kept me guessing for sure. It's one of those movies you have to finish. Even though the next murders were obvious because of the sins, the end had a big twist. It was a very eerie movie and it fit nicely to the plot.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Genre: War

Director: Steven Spielberg

Writer:Robert Rodat

Staring Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, and Tom Sizemore

Saving Private Ryan is about a military division trying to find a private in the crazy environment of Europe during World War 2. After their landing and taking of Normandy Beach, France, they are put on a mission to find the last soldier of the Ryan family. Both of his brothers died in combat and it was their mission to find and get him home alive. Fighting through many German forces, lead by Captain Miller and 6 men from his 101st division.

I like this movie. I think it's a great example of the struggle for life and the loyalty of the U.S. Army to obey any orders they are given, even if it could mean death for them and everybody they're with. It fits the components of a western in every way. There are plenty of landscape shots of the soldiers walking to their destination. The outlaws are the Nazis and the enforcers are the U.S. troops over there. The whole story is a journey, those 7 men travel all around Europe to find Private James Francis Ryan. They're chasing after him the whole movie and at the end, they have to make a stand which turns out to be fatal most of the unit, including Captain Miller.

This is a really good movie and really keeps your attention and it is actually kind of humerous at times but not to much to ruin the movie. There is a lot of action and a good story plot and i recommend for someone to see this movie.
