Lords of Dogtown (2005)
Lords of Dogtown
by Chris Weseman.
The story is about three boys making their way from poor to rich. The story is a true story (with a little Hollywood put in it) and has action, drama, romance, and some comedy. Both parents and kids would enjoy this movie. For the kids there was the action and skateboarding and for the parents and adults there's the soundtrack and the 70's vibe that they can relate to.
Most of the action is the skateboarding, surfing, and fights that happened. The skateboard contests and the training have the most action. An example of the action is when they drain peoples' pools so they can skateboard and they have to run from the police.
There is a lot of drama in the movie. Most of it is just about their lives, going from poor dogs to the "Z-Boys". The main drama is when they all go their separate ways (Tony and Stacy join different skate teams and Jay joins a street gang). I won't give away the ending but I will just say they find out what the boys really want.
There is only a little bit of romance and comedy. The romance would have to be the couples and break ups. Stacy starts to date Tony's little sister, but he doesn't feel comfortable doing stuff with her in front of her brother and things start breaking apart for them. Then someone else comes in and he and Tony's sister start cheating on Stacy.
The one bit of comedy I can think of is was when Tony got "patty-slapped" by Skip at the fast food restaurant.
It was a really good movie and I liked it a lot. I think most people would like it.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Williw Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
by Corey Duncan.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is the most fun-filled movie ever been made for TV or the movie screen. So rent this movie today because it will have you laughing. I think Willy Wonka is the best movie made to have ever been seen on a movie screen.
Willie Wonka has a few funny scenes in it. The first funny scene was when Augustus Gloop fell in the chocolate river and got stuck in the tube. Another funny scene was when Peter Guff got shrunk into a microscopic boy. The last funny scene was when Violet ate a piece of candy and turned into a blueberry.
The next part of the movie was an action-packed part. Charlie got the golden ticket and everybody tried to get it from him. Willy Wonka freaked out when Charlie and his grandpa were the last ones left to finish the trip. The elevator scene was action-packed because you didn't know if they were going to have enough speed to break through the glass ceiling and fly.
The third part of Willy Wonka was the scary part. Charlie and the rest of the people were on a boat going through a tunnel. They saw all those pictures pop up in front of them. It was pretty scary! The last scary part was when Mr. Slugworth kept following Charlie everywhere.
The last part of the movie was the suspense part. The first suspense part was if that man was going to kill Charlie. The second part was when Charlie opens up the candy bar and there was not a gold ticket inside of it. The last suspense part was when Willy Wonka himself gave Charlie the chocolate factory for him to operate. So now Charlie owns the chocolate factory in the new movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Mean Girls (2004)
Mean Girls
by Kristin Walker.
Mean Girls is a movie about a girl named Cady who came from Africa and now lives in California. Cady tries to make it in public school after being home schooled.
Mean Girls is a great movie because it is packed with excitement! This movie has everything to offer. The comedy is hilarious. The different sayings like "So fetch", for example, will have you laughing for the rest of your life. The dance contest will have boys at the edge of their seats. The costume party will make you scream because Cady comes to the party with a different type of costume than everyone else.
There is action in this movie, but it is different from the action you see in other movies. The action is filled with fighting between girls, people getting hit by buses, and a lot of lying that starts up trouble. The suspense in Mean Girls has you thinking from the beginning to the end. Romance is also in this movie; some good and some bad.
Everyone in the family will enjoy this movie, especially teenagers.
Scream 3 (2000)
Scream 3
by Brandi Hutcherson.
Scream 3 is a killing, bloody movie. All of the characters are trying to find out who the killer is.
My favorite character is Cindy. She kept her self on lock down. She does this by not leaving her house and getting herself a dog.
The killer can change his voice and sound like a different person. He calls them and asks them questions, then he kills them.
The best part is when Scream blows up Gail's house. There were people running away and putting up a fight to get away, but it's no use because they know they are going to die.
So how about you get off that couch and go rent Scream 3.
A River Runs Through It (1992)
A River Runs Through It
by Jessica Bigford.
If you want to see a fly fishing, fun, thrilling, romance-speaking, caring love, action movie, then you should watch A River Runs through It.
There are some opinions I would like to say. One is that it's a well acted movie where these two boys who become men try to find a way to make themselves better. The two boys who are in the movie are Paul and Norman. Paul is acted by Brad Pitt. The person who tells the story of Norman is Robert Redford.
One example of drama is one day Norman and Paul when they were little went to play at the river where they fly fish. Norman asked Paul what he wanted to be when he grew. Paul said a boxer. Then Paul asked Norman the same. Norman said a boxer or a priest. Another example of drama is when Norman got back from going to school and he found out that Paul was an alcoholic.
One example of suspense is one day Paul wanted to take Norman and Jesse Burns, who is acted by Emily Lloyd, to this bar. Paul had a date, but she was an Indian. When they came up to the door and the man at the door said the Indian girl couldn't come in, Paul said that he would pay him back. So Paul and his date were let in. Another example of suspense is when the police found Paul dead in a dumpster.
One example of action is when Norman, Paul, and their dad went fly fishing. Paul caught the biggest fish for the first time. One example of romance is when Norman went to the Fourth of July weekend and met a girl named Jessie Burns. Norman and Paul went to this bar and Norman found out that Paul was heavily in debt from playing poker. Those are some examples of the movie that I found interesting.
The Longest Yard (2005)
The Longest Yard
by Blake Nettles.
The Longest Yard was a funny movie. It was also suspenseful. This movie was about an ex-quarterback going to jail for shaving points off of a football game. The prisoners try to get back at the guards by playing them in a football game. The suspenseful part was during the game. At half time the warden wanted Paul Crewe to lose the game for shorter time in prison.
This was a great movie and it was also funny. The funniest part was when Paul Crewe got pulled over. He made jokes about the cops, ran from the cops, and while he was driving he stopped and wrecked the car.
I think that the actors did a great job, that's why it was a great movie. It was one of the best movies I've seen lately.
Good Burger (1997)
Goodburger
by Dylan Strickland.
My movie GOODBURGER is about two kids, Ed and Dexter, living life together. Dexter is trying to earn money to fix his mom's car so he goes and works at Goodburger. Ed is a fellow employee at Goodburger and they become friends. After Dexter has a flashback he figures out that Ed is the reason he has to fix the car because he causes Dexter's crash. Soon after, Dexter gets over it and they become friends again. Then to start trouble, this new burger company named Mondoburger moves in across the street. They use a chemical to make their burgers big and addicting. After Mondoburger moves in Goodburger starts to go out of business. Then Ed creates this new sauce to bring Goodburger back in business. It works for a little while but Mondoburger comes back. So Ed and Dexter get to the bottom of it and try to shut them down for using that illegal chemical. They get to the core of it and shut it down. Then Goodburger is back in business.
I personally think this movie is great because it has many great things about it. It has action when Ed And Dexter are acting like spies trying to shut down Mondoburger. It has comedy when Ed gets stuck in the milkshake machine and when he falls of this roof and also when he makes the customers mad. There is a short bit of romance between Dexter and his girlfriend but it's not enough to cite. All together Goodburger is a great movie for anyone.
The Odyssey (1997)
The Odysssey
by Stephen Whatley.
The Odyssey is a breath-taking adventure that is the produced version of Homers Odyssey. It involves a bunch of wonderfully portrayed characters. Odysseus is played by Armand Assante. Penelope is his wife who is played by Greta Scacchi. After a huge victory over Troy, Odysseus makes his way back home. On the way he gets into an argument with Poseidon, the sea god. As he makes his way back home the trip takes nearly 2 decades. Along the way he battles gods, goddesses, and Cyclopses.
The reason why I like this movie is because it has a lot of action, drama, and romance. One of the better action scenes is the Battle of Troy. Everyone is fighting each other and it was just a great scene. One of the funny love scenes is that somehow Odysseus is always ending up with a goddess and doing stuff with them. One of the better dramatic scenes is when Odysseus and his crew are leaving Hell and you're not sure if they're going to make it out alive.
The Odyssey is a fun-filled, action-packed, dramatic, comedy movie, that is based on an old Greek tale. It's an adventure for the whole family.
Aladdin (1992)
Aladdin
by Alise Beverly
The movie that I am reviewing is Aladdin. Aladdin is a Walt Disney production. It in general is usually classified as a movie for children. In this movie there are a lot of main characters. Aladdin, Jasmine, and their friends. The story line goes something like this: There was once a poor man who lived off of stealing bread and finding a place to sleep each night. He dreams of living in a palace and having the things that he doesn't have. This character is Aladdin. On the other hand there is a princess who wishes she was normal and could leave the palace walls to be treated like an everyday person. So she does. She sneaks out of the palace one day and bumps into Aladdin on the streets. Neither one of them know each other's identity, but they finally find out. Through a lot of hard times throughout the movie they finally meet again and fall in love.
And who is to blame for them meeting up again? The Genie, of course! Aladdin finds a genie in a bottle that can grant him his every wish. One of which is to cast the evil Jaffar out of the palace and into a genie bottle so he cannot take over and marry Jasmine. She is not in love with him; she is in love with Aladdin. And so the story goes. To find out all of the adventurous details in this movie, go rent it, or buy it. Trust me it will not be a waste of your money!! :)
My opinion of this movie is that it is a GREAT movie for any age! It is exciting and fun to watch. This movie will keep you going and on your toes to see what will happen next. It also has a small love story plot to it, too. Now, of course, fairy tales aren't true. But if they were this is the just the sweetest thing ever! A magic carpet ride, being a princess and meeting that special someone just by coincidence. This is a great movie that I have enjoyed my entire life and I know you will enjoy it just as much as I have.
Scary Movie 3 (2003)
Scary Movie 3
by Lindsie Marcus.
Scary Movie 3 is an wildly outrageous, funny movie. Anna Faris, playing Cindy Campbell, and Simon Rex, playing George, make Scary Movie 3 a thrilling and crazy adventure. Cindy Campbell is troubled by the unusual problems Cody (played by Drew Manheim) has throughout the movie.
Scary Movie 3 was crazy, funny, and stupid. This movie was crazy because of the aliens. The aliens made Scary Movie 3 become more interesting and added a twist. This movie was funny! Every other thing that happened in Scary Movie 3 was funny. I personally think the battle was a big laugh.
Stupid would be a good definition for Scary Movie 3. Poor Cody helps make this movie so stupid. It seems Cody gets forgotten by Cindy Campbell and George several times. He also seems to get hit with many things: the car(several times), a hammer, and a door.
This movie seemed to revolve around the movie The Ring. In the end Scary Movie 3 was a wild movie with a dramatic ending.
Are We There Yet? (2005)
Are We There Yet?
by Diane Wasdin.
The main characters in Are We There Yet? are Ice Cube as Nick, Nia Long as Suzanne, Aleisha Alien as Lindsey, and Philip Bolden as Kevin. In the movie Are We There Yet? there is comedy, drama, romance, action, suspense, and sadness.
One comedy part of the movie is when Lindsey steals Nick's car and drives it around in the parking lot. Then Nick jumps on the car and a fake ax falls between his legs. Another funny part of the movie is when Nick throws a football at a boy who was stealing a card from his store.
One drama part of the movie is when Nick was trying to catch the truck driver who stole the kids. Another drama part of the movie was when the kids hit the truck driver in the month with the seat belt.
There was also action in the movie. One action scene was when Nick and the truck driver were fighting on the ice rink in Vancouver. When Kevin almost died because he couldn't breath it was really sad. It almost made me cry. When Nick and Suzanne fell in love and started kissing during the fireworks it was really romantic.
I liked Are We There Yet? a lot. It was funny, sad, and a lot more. This is a great movie for the whole family. If you watch this movie you won't regret it. I like movies that are funny!
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Million Dollar Baby
by Morgan Young.
In this movie that features award winners, Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman, you are taught a lesson: never let anyone stop you from fulfilling your dream. Scrap (Morgan Freeman) was a retired fighter. He cleaned Frankie Dunn's (Clint Eastwood) gym, and he always saw the good in everyone. Scrap was the one who saw something in Maggie (Hilary Swank) way before Frankie did.
Maggie was a small town girl from southwestern Missouri. She grew up knowing that she would never amount to anything more than trash. All she wanted was someone to believe in her. Even without the approval of her family and others around her Maggie never let go of her dream of being a big time boxer. She always kept her unshakable focus.
Frankie hated taking risks and never allowed himself to get close to anybody. That all changed, however, when he met Maggie. He took a chance and agreed to train her, not knowing that she would win him over. They would both face 'a battle that would demand their hearts and courage' stated by Scrap. They grew to have a strong friendship and found a sense of family in each other that both had lost a long time ago.
As you follow the journey of Maggie and Frankie you will not only grow to cherish their friendship, you will see that the real magic in boxing is 'fighting battles beyond endurance and risking everything for a dream that no one sees but you'! No matter what, always remember the one key rule: "Always protect yourself." You will learn what happens if you don't, but only if you go see Million Dollar Baby!
Mortal Kombat (1995)
Mortal Kombat
by Ryan Southon.
The movie Mortal Kombat is one of my favorite movies. Mortal Kombat has action, excitement, and is entertaining. Mortal Kombat is about a group of people that are chosen to fight against immortals on a different world. They fight to save Earth from being destroyed. I like this movie because of the intense fighting and the cool characters. Some of the characters names in Mortal Kombat are Lui Kang, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion.
Mortal Kombat is a good movie to watch when you want to get away from reality. Mortal Kombat is directed by Sandy Helbery. Some of the main actors are Christopher Lambert, Robin Shou, Linden Ashby, and Bridgette Wilson.
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Beauty and the Beast
by Ashley Chewning.
The movie The Beauty and The Beast is a heart-warming production by the Disney family. The movie was about Belle (Paige 0' Hara) who was trying to make a beast (Robby Benson) very lovable for him to change back with his friends: Lumiere (Jerry Orbach), Mrs. Potts (Angela Lansburg), Chip (Bradely Pierce), Cogsworth (David Ogden Stiers, who is also the narrator for the movie), Wardrobe (Jo Anne Worley), Bergman or Babette (Mary Kay), and the stove (Brian Cummings). If the beast and his friends don't change back before the last rose petal falls, then they would stay like that forever.
I thought that The Beauty and The Beast was a very good movie. I thought it was dramatic because there was a lot of fire that threatened the Beast and other people. There were many scenes that made the movie action-packed. For an example, at the end of the movie Gaston (Richard White) and the beast fought with each other at the top of the castle. I thought that was a cool thing to watch.
The romantic part was the best part out of the whole movie. It all started at the dance in the middle of the ballroom floor. The song came on and they were dancing and having fun. Then it went to near the end of the movie when the Beast and his friends turn back to normal, and Belle and the Beast live happily ever after.
I think that this movie would be good to watch with a family member or with your best friends.
Love & Basketball (2000)
Love and Basketball
by Jashayla Cummings
My favorite movie is Love and Basketball. This movie is about a girl named Monica and a boy named Quincy who have been friends since they were children. Monica and Quincy both share the love for basketball. As Monica and Quincy become older, Quincy tries to tell Monica that basketball is not everything and that she should move on in life.
This is a story of love and basketball. My favorite movie actress, Omar Epps, stars in this movie.
I like the movie Love and Basketball because it has both romance, drama, determination, love, and humor. The most romantic scene in the movie is when Quincy and Monica were hugged up on the ground in the front of the college they both attended. They both were telling one another how much they love and care about each other.
The most dramatic parts of the movie occur throughout the entire movie, as Monica tries to win Quincy's heart. Monica's determination is strong throughout the movie as she proclaims that she's going to be the first woman in the NBA. The love in Love and Basketball portrays two childhood friends, Monica and Quincy, who are soon to become soul mates and lovers.
Since Monica loves basketball so much, Quincy thought up a joke about Monica while they both were riding in Quincy's car after his basketball game. He said,"Monica, so who are you going to the dance with? Spalding? "Who's Spalding?, Monica asked. Quincy pointed at the basketball that Monica was holding in her lap. Then Monica frowned at Quincy and punched him on his shoulder because he was being silly and making jokes about her.
Love and Basketball is the greatest movie ever because it is thrilling, romantic, and a tearjerker. This movie is all about matters of the heart and how a person has love for a game but also shares the love of that game with her lover.
Bad Boys II (2003)
Bad Boys II
by Ray Hamilton
The movie that l am reviewing is Bad Boys II. This movie begins in Miami, Florida. It focuses on two former Miami Police Department officers who struggle to stop the distribution of drugs.
Bad Boys II is full of action. It includes shooting, fighting, car chasing scenes, and more. Without this action the movie would be really boring. The best action was the car chasing scene. This scene adds so much excitement to the movie.
Another reason this movie is good is the drama. The dialog determines, more than anything, how the movie is going to be rated. Arguments improve the movie's drama and also it's humor. The last example of drama is the acting. This makes you feel the emotions of the actors.
Bad Boys II is heavy with humor. My examples include the jokes, some of the action scenes, and the way some of the people talked. The producer tried to connect with the audience by making them laugh. Comedy is probably one of the best ways to persuade people to come and see the movie.
Last, but not least, I chose this movie because of the suspense. One example came from an action scene when the actors were driving and the Haitians were throwing cars at them. You didn't know if they were going to get hit or what. Another example was an explosion that the actors were in. For a moment you felt they were burned in the explosion, but they made it out. The last example was when one of the actors almost got shot. Luckily, his partner came and saved him from getting shot in the head.
As you can see, Bad Boys II is full of action, comedy, drama, and suspense. If you haven't seen it, then I would recommend that you do.
Back in the Day (2005)
Back In the Day
by TyNesha Mells. In this drama, Ja Rule, who stars as Reggie, struggles with the loss of his father. His old friend J-Bone, who is a cold-blooded thug recently released from prison, helps Reggie find who murdered his father. A week after his dad died, a preacher, Reverend Packer, came up dead. Reggie was suppose to be the one to kill him, but did he? Did Reggie kill Reverend Packer or was it some type of a setup? Back in the Day also has a couple of romantic scenes. See, Reggie falls in love with the preacher's daughter and J-Bone doesn't approve of his love fiend. As J-Bone tries to destroy what they have, Reggie learns that love is about forgiveness. But what J-bone is doing, does it work? Do Reggie and his girlfriend break up, or does it bring them closer together? I like this movie because it leaves you wondering what's going to happen next and did this or that happen. I like movies with suspense! It kind of makes you want to be in the movie so that you could detect things. I also like this movie because everything falls in place, if you really pay attention to it!
