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.

How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days


How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days



(2003)
Directed by :
Donald Petrie
Written by: Michele Alexander
Kristen Buckley
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 .

The Last Song








Director: Julie Ann Robinson






Written By: Nicholas Sparks, Jeff Van Wie






Starring: Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, and Greg Kinnear




Genre: Romance




Veronica was sent her distant father's house for a summer. She was a rebellious and angry teenage girl when she arrived. While talking back to her father and doing whatever she wanted, she was a very difficult person to deal with, really disrespectful, and rude. She met Will Who she soon fell in love with. After being with him for a while her attitude and behavior all changed. She became a whole new person.




This movies romance is ralted to real life because sometimes it takes a good person to help another person change. It took Will to help Veronica be nicer to her father and everyone else. The story was very touching and heartfelt. I liked the movies but it was very obvious about what would happen next. It seemed like I had seen it before. The movie was great and i really like the ending that you don't see coming.

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.

Holloween (1978)



Holloween (1978)



Director: John Carpenter



Writer: John Carpenter



Main Characters: Michael Myers, Dr.Loomis, Laurie



Halloween is like a western in many ways even though it is a horror film. In Halloween that was made in 1978 there was an outlaw, a law enforcer, journey story, and also had characters chasing each other. These are all things that a movie needs to be a western. Halloween was a great movie, i especially like the 1978 version because it is the original movie and in my opinion the best one.

Michael Myers is the main character of Halloween he is also the outlaw. Michael is a psychotic man who escapes from the mental institute and tries to kill everyone in Haddenfield. Michael chases the young babysitter Laurie who lives in his old house. Michael wants to seek revenge on the people in Haddenfield. Dr.Loomis plays the doctor who evaluates Michael Myers and the only person who knows him personally and who can some what control Michael. Dr. Loomis along with the police of Haddenfield have to hunt down Michael and kill him so that he can't continue his murder spree.
