Erin Brockovich

*BASED ON A TRUE STORY*
A lady named Erin Brockovich, single mother with no qualifications, degrees or references under goes a case of contaminated water that has been killing people. She sets out this task with the trouble of looking after her children by-herself. A fierce woman that doesn't let anyone control her,own her or define her embarks on this magnificent journey, showing those with college degrees and masters that you don't need those things to get by in life but you need boobs. 

This film is perfect, that fact that this women dresses in things I wouldn't ever imagine dressing in, doesn't have a job or any qualifications yet she's making something of herself stuns me. This woman is a role model, certainly after watching this film I must say she is an inspiration regardless what she wears. This is the type of film that inspires people who feel they HAVE to stick to the books in order to make it in life. It will give you a different point of view on how some people live their life. Julia Roberts did a WOW performance she was total bad-bitch in this film, I don't know how she remembered all those lines in the really intense scenes but dear me she did a great job. This movie wouldn't be one without THE 'Erin Brockovich' herself. If you want to know more about her watch the movie then search her up. I can't believe what this woman did! Y'know it's movies like these that give you hope in life.

What audience would you recommend this to?
teens and over, there's quite a lot of swearing in it so it's not really suitable for children.

Frankie and Johnny

Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer light up the screen in this captivating romantic comedy. Pfeiffer plays Frankie, a waitress at a N.Y.C coffee shop. After a series of hurtful relationships, the last thing Frankie's looking for is a new man... until he comes looking for her. Pacino is an outgoing ex-con who's hired as the new short-order cook.  He's head-over-heels crazy for Frankie. But to Frankie, they're as different as scrambled and hard-boiled. What can he mean when he says, "We were a couple before we ever met"?

Oh my goodness this movie is perfection. I just watched it for the first time today and wow it blew me away. This movie is FOR SURE a decent romantic film, it beats all the others I've ever watched out there. It has all the elements of determination, hurt, love and loneliness altogether in this one film. I've been waiting for this type of film to come around the corner and here it is! THIS IS IT! Frankie and Johnny's connection makes me wish I had that! in a way it's re-assuring that I will have that oneday. The way he stares at her makes me all fluttery and warm inside, it's pure perfection to me. Al Pacino is absolutely BRILLIANT for his portrayal as Johnny, he's all you could look for in a guy to play the part. My view on Johnny in this film was  determined,cute and bold. I absolutely loved him in this film, he pursued and pursued for Frankie, he didn't give up on her. Michelle Pfeiffer truly is an emotional actress who knows what she's doing. Her character for me was emotional,hurt,protective,insecure,afraid for something good to happen to her,sensitive and Delicate. She cried at the right times she really knew who she was in this film, the littlest things she did were thought through thoroughly. Her character was one I felt sorry for, she'd been through so much shit the previous men put her through she built a really big wall. The plot itself speaks cunningly through the characters emotions, you really wish you were in the scenes with them or you wish you WERE them. I stumbled across this film a few days ago when I was in a store looking for cheap movies to watch and I saw this (it was only 6 dollars) and I was like to my sister "Hey it's Al Pacino and he's in a romantic film, that's weird!" my sister told me to put it away, she didn't look the least bit interested so I did. *Few days later* I thought I'd watch the trailer so I did then showed it to my sister then we both looked at each other like "WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT" we didn't say anything, we just knew. So we quickly got ready so we could buy it before someone else does and all I can say is, it was the best 6 bucks I have ever spent on anything in my whole 16 years of life. This film was funny, dramatic and romantic, I loved everything about it! Intense film! 

What audience would you recommend this to?
Teenagers/adults (people who love romance films,this is the one to watch!)

The Rugrats Go Wild!

Remember these cute guys?! The Wild Thornberrys join the Rugrats on a cute wittle journey on a deserted island in the middle of now-where.

I just wanted to do a review on this because it's the cutest movie you'll ever watch. It's one of those movies that make you feel happy when your not in the mood. I must say, the quality is quite impressing for a 2003 movie. I love this movie cause when I was younger both these cartoons were my life. I miss Nigel Thornberry being his weird queer self and the accent OH THE ACCENT! Watch this movie and you'll feel gangster afterwards.

What audience would you recommend this to?
CHILDREN ONLY. It's too violent for adults.

Pretty in pink

One of the greats who made the movies 'The Breakfast Club', 'Sixteen Candles', 'Home Alone' and heaps more! Brings Molly Ringwald in another one of his amazing films. Molly Ringwald plays Andie, a teenage girl who works at a record store, while she and her best friend (Duckie) make it through high school. Blane (rich kid) starts to find an interest in Andie, they soon develop a relationship, but as Blane starts to distance himself it leaves Andie wondering if he's just like the other guys. 

I love John Hughes films! I only ever wish his movies were longer. But this movie is nice! The kind of nice romantic film that girls would settle for, although guys can watch it too! I bet if guys watched it they'd find some sort of connection and relation to some of the characters. I love Andie in this film, I understand what she's going through and it's sort of comforting. This is the type of movie you would want to watch by yourself, because John Hughes knows how to get to you emotionally when watching his films. I think my favourite character in this film would be Duckie, he is everything I am- except I'm not in love with my best-friend, wait... my best friend is my twin sister, I love her but not in that way, ANYWAY... Duckie is just this crazy person who speaks his mind and cares deeply for the ones he loves, he isn't like the other kids in school. I think I can relate quite a lot to that actually. 


What audience would you recommend this to?
For the groovy 80's lovers, teenagers and over.

The Graduate

Benjamin Braddock played by (Dustin Hoffman) has just finished graduating from college. He returns home to celebrate with the family only to find himself seduced by his parents friend (Mrs Robinson) they begin a physical relationship. He soon becomes well aware that Mrs Robinson has a daughter (Elaine) and eventually falls in love with her. 

The Graduate is a unique love story but it's also confusing. I think Benjamin is a w-e-i-r-d-o for having a relationship with Mrs Robinson (um gross she's like 100) Anyway, this movie really is an 80's movie because some of them are weird, not all but some (this one is weird). When I finished watching it I was confused but also the ending was quite emotional so I don't know how I felt about this movie. This movie sure does show the different kind of love stories out there and the relationships people have. I was angry with a few of the relationships in this movie because first of all Benjamin sleeps with Mrs Robinson, then after their little fling he falls in love with Elaine...like what is this? I really hated him for what he did but once he starts to prove his love for Elaine I feel sorry for him. I absolutely hated the mother is this movie, she's the kind who will use you then forget it ever happened, I wanted to throw her off a bridge. Summed up it's a good love story but it's also the kind that leaves you thinking "SOO they're just going to forget about all the shit that just happened?!". The thing I loved about this movie the most would have to be the ending, it's beautifully sad.

Drive Angry

*I try to make quick movie reviews so I don't bore you away*

Some crappy movie about a guy (Nicolas Cage) who's daughter was killed by this devil worshipper and for some reason Amber Heard plays this hot stereo typical girl who thinks she's all badass. She joins him to find the guy who killed his daughter.

I'm doing a review on this movie because it's so shitty.This is not the first time I was like "wow, another weird Nicolas Cage film". I was actually angry about the movie because of how much time I wasted watching it, I only continued watching it because I was waiting for a miracle to happen so it could save this movie's reputation, but no. Wait... what was Amber Heard's role anyway? "Amber Heard plays a waitress who is withholding sex from her boyfriend, so he will marry her" Oh really? How fu*king relevant. Oh and did I mention that Nicolas get's shot in the eye and dies, but then later redeems his life because he didn't die after all like WOW. I don't recommend anyone watches this movie, it will leave you with the questions "Who the hell is the Director?" or " Was he dropped on his head as an infant?" Did I mention how much this movie grossed? $30 million+ the computer stunts were very low quality, they left me thinking what the definition of life was.


What audience would you recommend this to?
Teenagers and over, I hated it but I say watch it for yourself to see how terrible it is + there are some hard core sex scenes so you've been warned.

✯/5 stars

Precious

*I try to make quick movie reviews so I don't bore you away*

"My name is Claireece Precious Jones". An African American girl on goes the hard journey of being a young women and how difficult it is. You usually hear the term "Being a women is harder than a man" it's true but in Claireece's term it's beyond difficult. Claireece may look like a big tough girl that you shouldn't consider looking at while walking down the street. But really inside she's wondering why she can't have a nice skinny tan looking boyfriend or why her father says he loves her when all he does is rape her. 

Now this movie is a masterpiece, it truly is. I was intrigued to watch it because the trailer (which is located at the bottom of this) was amazing. This is a depressing movie but it's also one I recommend you watch. The thing I love about this movie is, it may be depressing but it really gets to you. You feel sorry for her because of what she's going through but your glad your on the journey with her, you want to find out more. I love this movie because it gave me hope in the most darkest situations and taught me that people have it worse. Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) should have won an Oscar for this because she did an amazing job (no wonder she won the role). I think she's one of my favourite actresses now. Mo'Nique Imes-Jackson (Precious's mum) I hated her in the movie! But she played the part amazingly, she's a great actress (she won Academy Award for Best Supporting actress for her role). There's something about this movie that can really teach others to appreciate their life and not judge others from the outside.

What audience would you recommend this to?
This movie isn't one for the children, definitely for teenagers and over.

Miracle Mile (80's film)

*I try to make quick movie reviews so I don't bore you away*

A young man hears a chance phone call outside a diner early morning "IT'S HAPPENING, IT'S REALLY HAPPENING THEY'RE ABOUT TO RELEASE THE NUCLEAR IN THIS AREA".
 and missiles will hit his city in 70 minutes.

OK, I don't think I've mention how much I love this movie. It's is Fu*king great! I watched this when I was very young and it's never gotten out of my head. I watched MGM a lot growing up (proud to say) MGM has magical movies. This movie is perfect for a good nights thrill or having your friends over.The plot is amazing, I was going crazy when Harry is looking for Julie a girl he really likes before the missiles hit their town. This movie is like one of those dreams you have where your all alone and you have to get out of a situation as soon as possible or your a gonner. A lot of riots and looting happen in this movie. We meet some pretty crazy characters in this movie. I literally couldn't stop panicking because I wasn't sure if they were going to get out the city in time (Or do they?) hmmm... that's the question. Obviously you'll have to watch it if you want to see whether they live or not. This movie is totally worth it! I love how Harry only just met Julie the other day yet he's risking everything to find her. I thought he would have left her I mean he just met her... If I was him (I would lol). And you know another thrilling thing about this movie? While the rest of the town is looting shops and causing riots it seems Julie and Harry are the only ones that want to survive, making it hard to ask for help + they have to find someone who can fly a HELICOPTER if they want to survive so... NO BIG DEAL. 

What audience would you recommend this to?
Teenagers & adults and even children! Thank god I watched it when I was little or else I wouldn't be here to tell you how fu*cking wonderful it is! PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE 80'S.

The Descendants

*I try to make quick movie reviews so I don't bore you away*

George Clooney plays Matt King in the movie 'The Descendants' this movie is set in beautiful Hawaii. Matt King is a confused father of two (Scooter, 10 and Alexandra, 17). He finds out his Wife is involved in an accident leaving her in a permanent coma. Alexandra lives in boarding school on a different island. Matt flies over to tell her the news and bring her home, she is just as upset as her father is but only to find out that it's something else that is bothering her. Their journey is captured on the beautiful Islands on Hawaii. But not so much beautiful things happen when you in a beautiful place. 

I just watched this movie for the first time yesterday and I must say I wasn't impressed. For starters I thought this movie was going to have a bit of romance and showing Alexandra and Scooter as they grow up. I thought this movie was about a father who didn't know how to control his children because the mother looked after them and he has to look after them now all because of the accident.For me this movie was quite depressing. The fact that the mother is never going to wake up upsets me but the thing about this movie is, it relates to people in real life and it can really help husbands that are going through divorces and family problems as well as teenagers and children. George Clooney did a good portrayal of Matt King and I liked Shialene Woodley's character it's good to see her do another teenage role but more spiced up. She did quite a lot of swearing in this movie and was quite moody, which I can relate to. The scenery in the movie is breathtaking, especially when they're chilling at the beach. One day I'm gonna go Hawaii! The only thing I wish they could have changed about this movie is the plot. It was a good plot but at some point I got bored and I was waiting for something interesting to happen and it didn't.

What audience would you recommend this to?
This movie is quite serious so it's sorta for the adults but teenagers can watch too also for people that are dealing with family issues and want to relate (Movies are great therapy by the way!)

Valentine's day

*I try to make quick movie reviews so I don't bore you away*

                                                                      
Basically what happens  in this movie is just a series of events played by a bunch of famous people. Valentine's Day is coming up and they're all wanting the same thing, love, or at least what seems like it. Quite a few funny things happen in it and then there's scenarios that may in some way relate to you such as cheating and friend-zoning ). ANYWAY if you look at the movie poster there's heaps of well known actors/actresses you may like that star in it. 

I'm doing a review on this film because Valentines Day is near and it's also a google+ trend at the moment! This movie is quite cute I must say. It's the kind of movie where you want romance to happen to you or just the kind to watch by yourself and feel miserable... I dunno. If your a romantic-go for-the-cheesy-type of movie person then this one is for you. If not then watch it anyway you won't get bored but you'll probably guess what happens next cause it's just the stereo typical kind of movie, although there were a few things that made me go "oooooohh really? Whoa." It's cute, funny and for when your bored or with ya gf/bf and have nothing to watch. The length of this film was good!

What audience would you recommend this to?
Definitely for teen girls or couples also it would be a cute family movie or for people with cheesy taste in movies.

*I try to make quick movie reviews so I don't bore you away*

Natalie Portman stars as the teenage daughter (Anne) who only ever wants to escape from her mother played by Susan Sarandon (amazing actress). But her mother wants to do a bit of escaping herself. They drive to Beverly Hills in their 1968 Mercedes Benz with only the hopes of her mother's dream and Anne dragged along as a puppet. As they reach Beverly hills an emotional journey happens...as it usually would in a mother and daughter relationship. We watch Anne grow up as she slithers through her shitty teenage years with her mother, that's only the beginning.

This movie! I love this movie. The simplicity of it is so capturing it feels like your driving from Wisconsin to Beverly Hills with them. I think this movie is great for people especially teens who like to travel and relate to those crappy moments your parent/s put you through. If you feel like watching something that gets you wondering why life sucks then you can share it with Anne and her mother. I know you won't be disappointed. I surely wasn't! This movie really touched my soft spot and it taught me quite a lot of things about life, learning to let go and why being a teenager can be a terrible thing but at the same time fun. 

What audience would you recommend this to?
This would be a nice movie for teenage girls to watch with their mothers or teenagers in general.
