Mr. Smith Goes To Washington(Again)

I reviewed this movie a while ago, but I fell asleep during much of it. So here's goes again.

Jimmy Stewart playsJefferson Smith a young country man elected to the US Sentate. It is a great honor for Jeff. However he soon finds that is being used.

Stewart is wonderful as always

Farris Bueller's Day Off

Who knew a guy with the name Farris could be cool? We all think making a movie is fun, but people that make say its very techical and long hours. No one could ever convice me making this movie wasn't fun.

Being an 80's teen, I didn't enjoy many of high school "Brat Pack" movies. The characters were broding and anger was cool. But not Farris, he enbraced life. Yes he lied did things that teens only dreamed of but people loved him for it.

I could never had a day like Farris, the guilt would have gotten me before I hit the front door.

But I'll watch Farris do it over and over again.

Spiderman 2

Usually movie sequels don't live up to the original movie. This is not the case with Spiderman 2. The movie picks up where the firdt left off with Peter Parker leading his double life. We find that he is having a lot of internal struggles. His life as Spiderman is holding him back from the things he wants. I think the guilt over uncle's death is really keeping him torn.

Once again the acting in this movie is really good. Something rarely seen in movie with such major special effects.

10/10

Clone Wars

Clone Wars is a short animation Star Wars movie that takes place between episodes 1 and 2. The amination is really good and the voices as well, but nothing compares with the true Star Wars.

Spiderman

A great great movie. I watched it for second time today and realized two things. One, the acting was really good. Two, on some level its a story of love. In a movie with much action and special effects the acting is rarely noticed. Tobey was great. You could feel his loss and not only losing his uncle but also the loss of life as he knows it in becoming Spiderman. The love Peter has for MJ is clear. But we also see the love he has for his family in the choices he makes.

National Treasure

Nicholas Cage was great in this fast-paced drama. His character Ben Gates is looking for treasure whose legend has been in his family for decades.

To get it he must steal the Declaration of Independence. And he just might get the girl.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I wasn't sure about this movie. I was read the book as a small child and haven't seen the 1971 version. However I was very impressed. The cast(although pretty unknown aside from Johnny Depp) was great. Charlie's character was a great kid whose family had very little but were happy.

The storytelling and setting was amazing. The way Grandfather set the story in motion. Just perfect.

Watching this I felt like I had been given a "Golden Ticket."

Hitch

I love Will Smith as an actor and Hitch proves why. He is great in action dramas and comedies. He and Kevin James have great great chemistry.

Pretty Woman

This is the only Julia Roberts movie I like. It was really her first movie and I think that ia why she was so good. Her acting flowed she was real. Now it seems like she tries to hard to be a character.

Rivhard Gere was good as well. The perfect suit and tie business man. He and Roberts were great. The brought out great acting in each other.

School of Rock

Never been a big Jack Black fan. Or I should I have never been a big fan of the type of movie he has done. School of Rock changed my view of him. He likable and even sweet in this roll, I think anyone who has ever dreamed of being a rock star will love this movie.
