Role Models

 The movie Role Models stars two friends Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Sean William Scott) who, in order to avoid jail time, must serve hours at a big brother program called Sturdy Wings. The two children they are assigned Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and Ronnie (Bobb'e J. Thompson) are hilarious characters. One a misunderstood nerd and the other a dirty mouthed trouble maker. The movie goes through their hilarious fights and bonding. The humor is sarcastic and full of whit. I am able to watch this movie a countless amount of times and still laugh the entire movie. The sets for the scenes are highly creative. I highly recommend this movie. The director, David Wayne, did an excellent job creating a movie full of laughter and a high level of sarcasm. The cast was chosen very well. It is one of my all time favorites. It is a mood changer, after watching it one will leave in a better mood. I would rate this movie a 9. 

The Hunger Games

 I recently went to the movie theater to watch the movie The Hunger Games. This movie takes place in war stricken North America made up of 12 poverty filled districts ran by the all controlling Capitol. As continual punishment due to failed rebellion the Capitol requires each district to hold a raffle, known as the reaping, to choose one boy and one girl to be sent to a televised arena where they fight to the death until only one is left standing. This battle is known as the Hunger Games. The movie follows two teenagers from district 12 Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) ,who volunteers in place of her younger sister, as they are sent on their crazed fight for survival in the Hunger Games. The director Gary Ross captures all the emotions that come with the mentality of true survival and doing what need be done in the heat of battle. My personal opinion of The Hunger Games was that despite the length of the movie it had an interesting plot line with many unexpected events. I appreciated the cinematography when it came to the action scenes they were both dramatic and unpredictable. I rate this movie a 7 out of 10.

Exit Through The Gift Shop

Exit Throught the Gift Shop, directed by Bansky, is a documentary that followed Thierry Guetta an extravagant french man who is obsessed with filming every moment of the day. While filming Thierry happens apon street art. He then begins to follow these artists filiming them tag and helping them paste their enourmous pictures on walls or bilboards all over the world. After years of beign followed by Thierry the artist Banksy found it necessary to make a film about this entreouenuer using the footage Mr. Guetta shot. The documentary took one through the process of street art and gave one an appreciattion for this short lived form of art. I found this film, especially for being a documentary, highly entertaining. If one has an appreciation for art then I highly recommend Exit Through The Gift Shop.As a director Banksy, remaining unidentified,didn't portray Thierry as one would expect. This documentary held my attention and is not predictable nor what i expected. I rate this movie a 9.

Book of Eli

The Book of Eli, directed by Albert and Allen Hughs, was a movie that followed the character Eli (Densel Washington) on his mission in an post-apocalyptic world. It portrayed the struggles the new world has brought and the evil it brings out in people. My personal opinion of this movie is very high, there are twists and surprises throughout the movie that leaves you in awe. Eli's power struggle with Carnegie (Gary Oldman,) the most powerful man in the town, is attention grabbing. The things we think are important to own change completely, the necessities including water and shampoo are now being killed over having, people become possessions including Carnegie's step daughter Solara (Mila Kunis) who is highly opinionated and defiant. The cinematography of The Book of Eli is incredible. I would rate this movie an 9 out of 10.

50/50

I recently watched the movie 50/50. In my opinion this was great movie. The movie starred Adam (Joseph Gordan-Levitt) and (Seth Rogan) as bestfriends and depicted their struggles through Adam's battle with cancer. What one would imagine as a depressing movie was no such thing. The spurts of comedy were greatly placed. The serious moments were broken up by a good laugh creating a great balance of sadness and laughter. Being based of the journey of the script writer Will Reiser's own battle of cancer it shows the strain it puts on all relationships between both friends and family. Instead of leaving the movie sad and full of worry it was a surprisingly refreshing movie that I wouldn't mind seeing again. I highly recommend this movie. Definitely worth the high price movie ticket.
