big mommas house


This movie was about a man named Martin Lawrence and he disguises'd himself as an older women to do some detective work about a man who committed a murder , and was now on the run , and he was trying to protect a beautiful suspect and her son.


Yes this movie was interestng it was a comedy movie with martin lawrence so of course it would be funny... but then again at times the movie got serious because the girl and her son's life was in danger so all he was trying to do was protect. An yes we could id the detectives because he was the main character but no one else knew about him but his partner , cause he hid himself under a fat suit with a lady known as BIG MOMMA !!!!!.. great movie

Eagle Eye !


Eagle eye
writer/director: D.J Caruso , John Glenn.
Starring : Shia LaBeouf , Rachel Holloman
This movie is about how Jerry Shaw's twin brother died in a accident . He finds guns and weapons and then gets a phone call from a strange woman telling him the cops will be there soon . So him and the woman that gets involved in this with him are stuck racing down the city doing what this woman on the phone says .
I really liked that this movie just had them shooting people when they never ever were involved in stuff like that before . And how you didnt know who the person on the phone was but yet she new everything about their surroundings and what was going to happen next . I also liked how the end just flowed together and everything ended up fitting in place.

Takers (2010)
Director: John Luessenhop
Writers: Peter Allen, Gabriel Casseus, and Avery Duff
Stars: Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen, and Matt Dillion
Genre: Action, Crime and Thriller
Takers is a movie starring four men who are like brothers. They are all business men who do big jobs. Their job is to take as much money as they can as fast as they can without getting caught. In the movie one of their friend sets them up to get caught by the Russians who they stole money from but no one really knows who did what until the end of the movie. These two cops are trying to figure out who these four men are and how are they doing these big steals with perfect timing, the right equipment, and the perfect plan. The men aren't caught only two survive in the end and they keep on moving.
I enjoyed the movie because through out the whole thing like you had to keep guessing who did what and what's going to happen next basically it was a movie that has you on the edge of your seat. Everything about the movie felt so real especially like during the part when they were doing money steals. I think that the director of the movie picked excellent actors to play the roles in this movie. Like everyone's personality went with their character, they looked as if they were comfortable with their parts.

The movie was good lots of action and i would give the movie a 5 star. Becouse good acting and just the movie was great. but what i didnt like was wen the guys wife was just faking him for 10 years and brought him to london so he can die but just stupid.

The movie carrie is about is about a girl sheltered by a seriously religeos and crazy mother. she gets bullied by all the children in her school until she finds out she has telekinetic powers and she uses them for revenge.I liked this movie because its a classic horror film. they did a good job at selling the story and scaring the audience.


this movie did an excellent job of making you believe the femme fatale in this movie was a compleately normal and innocent girl by showing her everyday struggles then at the end bad things happen that is so unexpected.

I thought this was a real good movie but it took me awhile to understand it, like i had to end up watching it again or just certain parts. I thought that they did a good job and making the viewer very confused but than sort of obvious towards the end. This movie did have me guessing what was gonna happen next and also questioning it like "oh i don't get that" but it all worked out in the end. And i would watch this movie again.

Takers

This movie is about a group of guys that get together and steal stuff. They all are very casual about how they do it and plan it very good.

In the end they are all celebrating and having fun until Ghost disappers and the russians show up and shoot the place up. They kill A.J. and the rest of them get away. While that was happening someone was getting away with everything........

American Gangster


American Gangster is a true story about a big time druglord Frank Lucas (denzel Washington) a dective was working to get him the movie takes start in Brooklyn. My opion of this movie is that they did a good job of first getting alll the info and making the movie as close as they can to the true story. Denzel actually does a good job of acting like frank lucas and the director did a good job of giving us an idea of what the drug lords go threw and how they became a Big boss in the game.


They also did a good job at setting the tone of the movie and making it dark and also even though the movie was long they kept you into it and wanting to watch the movie till the end of it. The plot also kept me guessing on if he was ever going to get caught and if he did was he going to go in for life or would he get out years later.
Director- Ridley Scott

Film Noir/Femme Fatale Blog Post

The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Writer/Director: John Huston
Starring: Humphrey Bogart & Mary Astor
Genre: Film Noir

Your assignment: Write a 2-paragraph blog post about a movie you've seen outside of class that you would consider similar to Film Noir (detective/cop film or murder mystery) and/or that includes a femme fatale (dangerous/manipulative female) character. Explain what it's about (without spoiling!) and your opinion of it. Did it do a good job of presenting a dark and dreary setting or tone? Explain how/how not. Did the plot keep you guessing until the end? Explain how/how not. If there was a femme fatale, did the actress do a good job of presenting her as appealing and seductive and then later as evil and horrifying? Explain how/how not.

Paragraph 1 should describe the plot of the film, including the characters, up until the inciting incident (no spoilers!). For instance: The Maltese Falcon follows private investigator Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) on a number of mysterious adventures, starting with a suspicious new client named Ms. Wonderly who hires Spade and his partner, Miles Archer, to find out about the man her sister has gotten involved with. When Archer begins the investigation and turns up dead, the grumpy yet charismatic Spade attempts to seek out the truth. But when a series of other shadowy figures interrupt him at every turn and may or may not be involved in his partner's death, trying to get his help in obtaining a prized lost treasure called The Maltese Falcon, Spade has to be careful how far he treads.

Paragraph 2 should include your opinion of the film and answers to the questions above. For instance: Classic film noir lighting helps set the tone of The Maltese Falcon, which is largely set indoors, so when shadows fill up a character's face or a room, it helps to add to the suspense of the mystery at hand. This, in addition to the constant twists and turns of the story, which can't be revealed here for sake of spoiling, make for a moody and witty dialogue-driven film where every conversation keeps you guessing until the end about who's being truthful and who's being deceitful. The character that is the most unassuming at first, however, also turns out to be the film's greatest villain at the end. The femme fatale is a common element of the male-centric crime film, but is also something that started with this, the original film noir that took expectations of the sweet and innocent and flipped them on their heads, making for an exciting and unpredictable tale.

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

In this movie, Joel find's a girl named Clementine, who's the love of his love, but then Clementine get's memory erased from her mind, so she no longer remember's Joel or anything about him. Then Joel find's out about this and wants to get the same procedure done. But right in the middle of getting it done after all the bad parts of the relationship are gone, the good parts start coming in and Joel get's reminded of how much those memories mean to him, and kinda learns that not everything's gonna be perfect but it's gonna be good in the end.
In the movie "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" Both Joel and Clementine have there difficult parts, And they don't realize how amazing they're relationship is, Clementine is outgoing and impulsive, and doesn't care what anyone else thinks, but at the same time Joel is the opposite, and isn't very outgoing except when he's with Clementine, and isn't very impulsive and thinks before he does, and he does care what people think. You can definitely tell that they're in love, just by watching the movie. Even though it's not real, you could definitely fall for it.
