Bruce Almighty

My rating: 

Yesterday I saw the movie Bruce Almighty, which I really enjoyed and thought it was really funny. The movie stars Jim Carrey, Morgan Freeman, Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, Lisa Ann Walter, Phillip Baker Hall and Cathrine Bell. It is about a man named Bruce Nolan (played by Jim Carrey), who is a reporter for Eyewitness News at Buffalo, New York. He lives with his girlfriend, Grace Conelly(played by Jennifer Aniston), who he will soon be engaged with. One day, Bruce is fired for making obscence remarks at a live broadcast in Niagra Falls. Later, he meets God (played by Morgan Freeman), who gives him cool powers like his own, and he soon is known as Mr. Exclusive. I think Bruce Almighty is one of Jim Carrey’s most funny movies (another movie I really enjoyed starring Jim Carrey is Mr. Popper’s Penguin’s), and I also think that the most funny parts in the movie are when Bruce uses his new almighty powers to do supernatural things, like pulling the moon closer to the Earth with his bare hands, which makes the moon look larger in the sky, driving his car at hyperspeed, and using his hands to mimic parting the Red Sea in a red soup bowl. Even the trailer of the movie would make you laugh. I would reccomend this movie for kids my age or older and adults. This film is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Also, here is the trailer of Bruce Almighty.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

My rating: 

Yesterday, I saw the movie Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it is really cool. It is the third and final installment to George Lucas’ ”Star Wars” prequel trilogy, in which the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christensen) becomes the chancellor of the republic’s new apprentice after Count Dooku(AKA Darth Tyranus) was killed by Anakin (the chancellor’s name is Chancellor Palpatine, who is really the evil Darth Sidious, and he is played by Ian McDiarmid) joins the Dark Side and becomes the evil Darth Vader, changing the fate of the galaxy forever. Natalie Portman plays Padme Amidala, the fomer Queen of Naboo, who is also Anakin’s secret wife, and she has recently become pregnant with twins, who she later names Luke and Leia. Also, Ewan McGregor plays Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Master who is Anakin’s former master. I also really like the action sequences of the movie and I would recommend this movie for everyone, including kids and adults. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is now on DVD and Blu-ray and it will be re-released in theaters in 3D in the United States starting October 11, 2013.

Also, here is the trailer of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Beasts of the Southern Wild

My rating: ratings1

Today I saw the movie ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ with my grandmother. We both didn’t really like the movie, and we also thought that the end of the movie was really sad. It is about a fearless six-year-old girl named Hushpuppy who lives with her father, Wink, in a community called ”the Bathtub”. Wink is teaching her how to survive in the wild, preparing her for a time when he’s no longer there to protect her because he knew that he was very ill and dying. Soon, following a terrible storm, ”the Bathtub” is flooded, ice caps begin to melt, releasing ancient beasts, who begin to come to the Bathtub and Hushpuppy’s father’s illness deteriorates. With ”the Bathtub” being flooded, the beasts coming, and Wink’s health fading, Hushpuppy begins to search for her lost mother. I think Hushpuppy is a really fearless girl, not running away when the beasts come close to her, but instead tries to get into their souls. I also think that the people who lived in ”the Bathtub” were like animals or cave people in the sense that they lived a very primitive life, nourishing only on what they were able to hunt or fish. They were not touched by civilization and even tried to stay away and decline any kind of help (even medical assistance). Yet, they are very sensitive and extremely loyal and devoted to each other.

I recommend the movie for adults and teenagers, but definitely not for young children who might find the movie too scary and misunderstand the fine sensibilities and relationships between the protagonists.

Also, here is the trailer of Beasts of the Southern Wild.

Zambezia

My rating: 

Today, I went to see the movie Zambezia with my grandmother and my brother. The movie was in Hebrew, but we still enjoyed it. It is about a young falcon named Kai, who lives with his father, Tendai. One day, Kai flies away from his home to a huge bird city called Zambezia, where he tries to join a group of professional flying birds known as the Hurricanes, but he is only accepted as a trainee. In Zambezia, he meets Sekhuru, the founder and head of Zambezia(also a falcon), and his daughter, Zoe. However, when his father follows him to Zambezia, he gets caught by a lizard! Now Kai must rescue his father and Zoe and save Zambezia from the lizard which threatens its existence. Kai puts his own life in danger, jumps down from the cliff after the lizard, rescues his father and Zoe, and becomes Zambezia’s hero and a full Hurricane. I liked the idea that Kai, as he grows up, is trying to find his identity and become indepentent. At the same time, he remains a good and devoted son to his father and a loyal friend to his newly acquired mates and doesn’t hesitate to risk his life to save them from evil.

Also, here is the Zambezia trailer.

The Amazing Spider-Man

My rating: 

2 days ago, I went to see the movie The Amazing Spider-Man with my friend and his parents. I really enjoyed the movie and now it is one of my favorites. It is about a teenage orphan named Peter Parker, who lives with his aunt and uncle, gets bit by a spider and gets new powers like web-shooting and wall-climbing. He soon becomes Spider-Man. But when Dr. Curt Connors, a man who used to work with Peter’s father, tries to use lizard DNA to get his arm back, he turns into The Lizard and tries to turn all living human beings into lizards. Now Spider-Man must defeat The Lizard and save New York City. In the end, Spider-Man replaces the lizard DNA cloud with an antidote cloud, which turns The Lizard back into Dr. Curt Connors. I really liked Andrew Garfield’s role as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man and Emma Stone’s role as Gwen Stacy. I would recommend this movie for anyone who likes Marvel movies.

A Thousand Words

3 months ago, I went to see the movie A Thousand Words with my friend and his brother. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it was funny. It is about a man named Jack McCall, who makes book deals. One day, a tree mysteriously grows in his yard with 1,000 leaves on it. Every time Jack says a word, a leaf falls off the tree. When all the leaves fall off the tree, Jack and the tree will die. Using those words, Jack must find what matters most to him. I would recommend this movie for kids around my age (10) or older and adults. A Thousand Words is not in theaters anymore, but it is now on DVD and Blu-ray, so now you can see it on DVD or Blu-ray!

The Avengers

My rating: 

Last month, I went to see The Avengers with my brother and my grandfather. The movie felt really long, but it was still a really cool movie. The protagonists are 6 superheroes(including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye) who unite to defeat Loki, Thor’s adoptive brother. The cast of the movie includes Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, the director of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Tom Hiddleson as Loki. After seeing the movie, it became one of my favorites and it still is one of my favorites. Also, I heard the movie has already earned around $1,500,000,000!

Also, here is the trailer of The Avengers.
