Blue Valentine

A romantic drama about a couple who evolve over a span of time cross cutting to time periods in their relationship. (NO it's not a Back To The Future movie) far from it...

This movie is far different from what I imagined. It's like... wow. I thought I'd watch it because I've seen the trailer a few times and it never revealed anything so I was intrigued to see what it was about! The plot is really good and at the same time depressing. The movie is very realistic I must say, that's what I like about this movie. It's not bullshitting anyone like typical romance films do, it gets to the point and hits you hard. Another reason I wanted to watch this movie was because my boyfriend Ryan Gosling was in it (don't blame me) I love his movies and... HIM. Michelle Williams pushes the limits that the average actress wouldn't normally do, you'll see once you watch the movie (seriously). This movie does have A LOT of sexual scenes but really it's for those who are mature enough to handle it. I like how the movie shows different time periods in this relationship. I would say you should watch this movie because it puts you in a different perspective of people's relationships, even though its a movie I know it happens all the time in real life. It also teaches you a shit load too. I like this movie because it makes me happy, upset and then the tension is all over the place. The ending is terribly sad it's not what you would really expect, I guess that why it's called 'Blue Valentine'. This movie isn't just about love, it's about finding ways to stay in love, be in love and love. 


What audience would you recommend this to?
Morally 18 and over but also 16 and over, contains sexual content that may offend some people

Rat Race

8 people coincidently find themselves in a race for 1 million dollars. 

Such a cute and funny movie, I remember I watched this when I was little and it always made me laugh. I always seemed to remember Whoopi Goldberg
and Mr Bean, although Rowan Atkinson wasn't Mr Bean in this movie but you get the point. There's not really much to say about this movie except it's suitable for all ages. I think the plot is predictable but it's still really funny. I like how this movie shows 8 characters journeys instead of just one person. Rowan Atkinson's character was probably my favourite but the others were hilarious too I think the characters were well thought out to be honest. There are some crazy scenes in the film I wouldn't have imagined but they make the film even more enjoyable and crazy. I suggest you watch it if you want a laugh cause it's that kind of movie that will make you laugh when your angry or upset.



What audience would you recommend this to?
All ages

Rocky


A small time boxer gets a once in a lifetime chance to fight the heavyweight champ in a bout in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect

If you have not seen this movie then there is something wrong with you. This movie is something you should see once your born, like literally. I'm glad I grew up on MGM movies (best moments of my childhood). I'm actually inspired by this movie, after I watched it I wanted to watch it again. When the well known Rocky anthem starts playing my heart goes crazy inside and I just lose it. Sylvester Stallone does an exceptionally amazing job in this film, I'm glad he wrote it and cast himself as Rocky, I don't think anyone else could have played it as well as he did. The thing I love about this film is the relationship between him and his friend's sister (Talia Shire). His friend sets him up with his sister who stays home all the time and is as delicate as a feather. Their relationship is bloody heart-warming, probably the best romance I've seen in any film (although this film is about boxing). Seriously, when he tries to kiss her but she's too shy because she's never been kissed before and she's what... 25? the kiss in this film is sensational, you reaaaaally feel the tension! It's. Just. Amazing. (I could go on for days about their beautiful connection but I don't but to ruin it for you). I remember watching the fight near the end and couldn't help but mimic punching his opponent. Rocky is more than a film about boxing it's about romance, barriers, life challenges, dreams, aspirations & inspiration. Another reason I love this film is how similar Adrian and I are (shy, nervous and insecure) I love how I can relate to her, Rocky and her give me hope when I watch this film. In this film and the other films you see Adrian come out of her shell, she brings the best out of Rocky and Rocky brings the best out of her. Their relationship grows stronger each film, we see Rocky grow and embark on tougher journeys. Frankly the plot just get's better but I can honestly tell you THIS is the best Rocky film.
