Treehouse Masters (2013)
AMAZING treehouses, and just a fun show overall
When I first started watching the show, the host struck me as very odd - too excited, hugging trees, etc.
But, it turned out to be a feature of the show, not a bug! Pete loves his trees, and it is abundantly clear that he loves his clients.
His vision is astounding, and his creativity is limitless. The crew really knows what they're doing, and every treehouse on the show is breathtaking.
My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that the crew is occasionally forced to act out scripted lines, but it's a fun show, and it is forgivable and doesn't really detract from the overall feel.
If I had $80,000 to spare, I'd call Pete in a second.
Little Manhattan (2005)
Two kids find love unlooked for and must work through their feelings
This is a great movie. I was laughing through the whole thing, not because it's a comedy, per se, but rather because I can relate to Gabe on so many levels. What I mean is, this film will resonate with any of you guys out there who've ever felt uneasy getting close to a girl, and with any girls who've ever known a guy to be that way. This is a real family film that is actually appropriate enough to be viewed by the whole family, and those can be hard to find these days. All of the actors did a great job, especially Josh Hutcherson (Gabe) and Charlie Ray (Rosemary). They did an amazing job. The story is interesting the whole way through - very entertaining, and I recommend this movie to you.
Like Mike 2: Streetball (2006)
A kid finds a pair of magic shoes and becomes an amazing b-ball player
OK, first of all, this movie is absolutely terrible. The plot line sucks, and the characters are so dumb (like they are incapable of thinking) and unrealistic that they actually made me mad. Then, the main points are the same as the first Like Mike (finds shoes during lightning storm, becomes good, shoes break). It's really dumb. The screenplay writers should've made their own movie, not redone the first one. Oh, yes, and some of his basketball moves are impossible and would have people thinking he was a magician, NOT a great basketball player. And, he looks at his shoes every time he does something amazing. And, no one realizes his shoes are special. It doesn't even make sense. My advice to you is to stop with Like Mike 1, and not waste your time and money. I would never recommend this movie to anyone, and if they come out with #3, well, that just wouldn't be cool.
The Notebook (2004)
An elderly man reads the story of two young lovers to an elderly woman with dementia.
The Notebook is not only one of the best portrayals of love I have ever seen on screen, it is also one of the best films of any kind that has been created. The whole movie holds you in captivity and suspense, watching time move forward in another's life while wondering where it all meets up to in the end. Each actor/actress IS the character, and the film is directed and filmed perfectly. As things begin to reveal themselves, you feel the frustrations of the characters while at the same time admiring their courage and strength, and you hope beyond hope that things play out 'properly'. I can say that a more perfect ending could not have been scripted for this film. I absolutely recommend it!
Raise Your Voice (2004)
Terry, a girl of about 17, dreams of singing, until a terrible accident kills her inspiration.
"Raise Your Voice" is a great movie. Like many of the movies I watch...it is a chick flick, but definitely a good one! Hilary Duff has an amazing voice, and her talent is shown once again in this film. Not only is her singing top-notch, but her acting is no less than great in this movie. The whole cast really brings things together, and each actor/actress brings their own little flare to the set. The story is well put-together and has the ability to really evoke a lot of emotion from the viewer, a trait I'm beginning to see more and more in the videos I watch. If you like some feeling in your movies, and you like "Raise Your Voice", I suggest "A Walk to Remember", "A Cinderella Story", and "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants". They are all on my "See Again" list, and I think they might make it to yours as well. I personally found "Raise Your Voice" to be one of the better movies I've seen in a while. Go see it; you won't be disappointed.
A Gentleman's Game (2002)
A boy begins caddying and golfing, and in the process becomes very good, very fast. He changes many people's lives.
A Gentleman's Game is a great movie. If you've ever thought of golfing, but have never done it, watch this film and you'll stop putting it off. I did! This film has a lot of swearing, but very little else in the way of offensive content. It has some really great lessons to teach, and lays them out in a very intriguing plot. The acting is very well done, as is the story, and everything comes together really well. About the only other thing that needs to be said for this movie is that you should see it if you haven't already. You won't regret it. And, likely, you'll see it again after that too. The special features aren't anything special though, which is pretty good, seeing as that's the only bad thing i can find to say about the movie. Haha. So, yep, that's about it. Enjoy the movie.
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)
Four friends find a pair of jeans that magically fit each of them perfectly. These jeans hold the girls together as they each go their separate ways that summer
This movie's a must-see for every girl, and for us guys with a sensitive spot deep inside. It's definitely a teenage-targeted chick-flick, but it packs a punch. I've never seen a movie quite like it before. The acting's amazing, and the mix of drama, comedy, and some more drama really makes it a powerful film in my view. I'm a guy who doesn't cry much, and this movie had me on the verge of tears more than once (a true feat in many respects). I really didn't want to see it (my sister forced me to), but now that I have, I'm really glad. It's a great film. Go see it. There's some unbelievable stuff to learn in this movie.
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Phantom of the Opera is about a musical genius with a deformed face, whose love for his student brings him to the point where he will do anything to get her.
Phantom of the Opera is the best movie I have ever seen, and I bought it just days after seeing it the first time. Basically, it's a musical starring Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum, both of whom have beautiful voices and do an awesome job in this film. The rest of the cast is also very talented, and no one detracts from the film on any level.
Many of the songs in the movie are very powerful and convey so much meaning, through not only the words, but through the music also, as well as the visual element which adds its own touch. Something I noticed when I watched it the first time was the amount of detail in the background, from the walls, to the lights, to the Phantom's organ. Everything is just beautiful, and like I said, very powerful. In fact, the movie is so emotional that it brought a single tear to my eye, and I'm not usually one to cry in movies (even one tear).
Overall, I have nothing negative to say about the movie, except that it didn't last forever. Hehe. So, definitely, I suggest that everyone see it once. It won't be for everyone, as it is a musical, but for anyone who likes those type of movies, as well as anyone open to something new, it's for you.
A Cinderella Story (2004)
A Cinderella Story is a GREAT movie with a great lesson to be learned
This video was awesome. I just watched it for the first time and I will definitely watch it again. Most movies these days are made purely for entertainment and often have a lot of junk in them (course language, nudity, etc), but A Cinderella Story taught me something valuable: to believe in myself and be who I really am, and not who others want me to be. I have taken this to heart and I hope it reflects in my actions in the many years I have ahead of me. I'm going to start being myself. I hope and pray that I will soon get a girlfriend who will accept me as I am (and maybe be as beautiful as Hilary Duff. Lol). I also hope that I will do the same whenever I meet new people. Thank you to the director, actors and all the others who made this movie such a success and keep up the great work. Thank you for the effect that you have had on my life.
