everytime i watch this movie something you never even caught before makes you go "oh wow thats clever!" i can't think of a better written, acted, or better visiual effects for a movie than this. and those of you who who think that the '18 hours' bit at the end ruinedit....forget about the fact that it sways your decision, its genius and it tied the whole movie together when they question her in the courtroom, the last half hour is needed for the film.

i don't watch movies for their realism. i don't view them in a self respective way, or judge the plots' plausibility based on my own experiences. you shouldn't have to warn people to have an open mind about a film because it should open it for you. a gateway really so you can experience new and exciting magical feeling precariously through the character, but yes to open that gateway, you need to recognize that there is a gate there....cue realistic plot. some might view the thought of an 11 year orphan child growing up in a boys camp would have such an optimistic view on life that he would whimsicaly leave his only home at night becuase the moon told him to, and that if he followed his heart and what he truly loved he would find his happy ending, as in all fairytales as impossible. but why not? is it so far fetched that people can be so happy and reach their goals when dealt such a misleading hand? i just think it's a waste for the movie goers who are so doubtful that love can last and people can still be heartbroken and longing for more than 5 years. it's beautiful that a young boy growing up in such a deprived environment can experience such magic and wonder and truly feel it. but the writers just didn't pick an 11 year old boy to have such drive and faith becuase somebody thought it was thier lucky number, it seems at age 10 little boys seem to question santa clause, and adventures with tonka trucks and pirate ships and it just seems to fade out of them. that imagination turns into the best way to defeat the aliens in HALO becuase in real life there is no room for that magic. by having a more worldy knowledgable character that knows wha t it's like to be down and told by others your different and freaky that made it through this barrier is just trying to hint to the audience to do the same, whats wrong with letting yourself get wrapped in the music and the unlikelyness of them all being united at once? it's not impossible, and as chick flicky as you think this movie is i think it's magnificant how they mixed the childhood vision and happiness of peter pan, oliver twist, orphan annie, a little princess and a love story between adults who never let go of the little thing that kept them tied to the magic into such a colourful treat to the eyes and ears.

oh gosh i know it might be illegal but jeremy sumpter....mmmm mmm!! i've only seen jason isaacs in 2 movies and his preformance in both is excellent. the acting, plot and dialog in this movie places it in my top 50 (and oh the goosebumps you get when wendy and peter are dancing in the forest with the fairies :P)

To Kill A Mockingbird (1962,  Unrated)
To Kill A Mockingbird 5.0 Stars
i seriously loved this book so im a little bias, but this is quite possibly the best life lesson one can aquire except "Well, I -- I think that it -- that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em -- and it's that -- if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with!" teehee. oh but what ever happened to the cute little actress who played scout? well done (especially you gregory peck and your cunning hotness) even tho like 1/4 of the book wasn't in it.

Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron 5.0 Stars
is it wrong that i favorite three cartoons in my top six? no, not when they're as cool as the Pol Ex and as classic as the little mermaid!! all three are on different levels from one another. all made with new/different vison. so this one doesn't have all the diving, weaving and thrilling picture that the polar express has, but they worked a totally different story and got knocked for it. some say that it was a terrible idea to have voice over's for the animals. what! it was awesome! did they think children would be less captivated by it if the pony's mouth isn't moving? cuz they were way off if so. i haven't met a girl under 10 who didn't like this movie! haha, which brings me back to the pitiful question "is it wrong to favorite 3 cartoons....."

man i luv the tone and feeling you get just watching the animation, gosh timmy how you use colour...or don't use it for that matter! i swear every shade of grey imaginable is in each of his films....... let alone the aweomse lyrics to the songs and wicked characters, pretty much a genius and so imaginative. i totally still get the shivers from the opening scene, so beyond any wildest nightmare and kindof the 'sleepy hollow' feel to it. halloween itself is just awesome and this is everything halloween. not a christmas movie at all, please, deffinatly halloween. what's scarier than a skelton taking over christmas? exactly....halloween. the film did considerably well considering the narrow audience it had to a appeal to. children (well i for one) under 12 had only heard of the terrors in this film, not allowed to watch it until their teens, and by that time, or in this age, there's so much merchandise in the form of emo/goth accesories/clothing that if thats not your way of expressing yourself you can get labelled just for likeing the film. damn all the emo's that claimed this movie for their depressing and lifeless existance. :P

ii don't even have to tell a boy from 10 - 36 that they have to see this movie in thaters. even if all they've seen was the trailor you can tell this movie has EVERYTHING! a war on earth, killer robots, fast cars therefor amazing car chase, hot blonde and brunette who know all about fast cars and killer robots, little childhood antics that only a 12 year old would find cool (but when you get your head around the fact that your really are 21 the cheesy parts are just a whole lotta kiz your pants) wicked heroes with the best names in the world!!! com on, just say it....optimus priiime!.... *shakes* hottest robot i've ever seen! but they even went further than that and added a whole secrect government plan that wasn't too far fetched for a 12 year old to believe, kudos! i mean of course it would have been better for me if paul walker had been the main character. there really was no eye candy for the other half of the population that was bound to go see it becuase thats all any guy will talk about for the next week, but that might have taken a bit of it away for the guys, it's always better when a not so hot male character gets the hot chick and saves the world. im just really stoked that they went for this movie because who knows whats next, Rainbow Brite -The Movie.....!!!!!

gosh that was not what i expected at all, it almost had a tim burton feel to it! very exciting and if you don't have any knowledge of music before britney spears you won't understand half of the wonderfully cute little anticdotes placed throughout the film. a little predictable, deffinatly a girly movie but guys could get a laugh out of it.....if they were drunk....or high.......or both......or just a big flamer....

Lucky Number Slevin 5.0 Stars
simply complex! everything, the whole storyline was so perfectly twisted and believable and a little humorous at times. that's what i admire most, it's quite tragic really yet not so heavy hearted and dark as say the departed. it's lighter than resevoir dogs and even in the movie they stated how it closely resembled hitchocks north by northwest. see, everything! even josh hartnett in a towel! :P teehee, no i totally get a creep vibe from that guy but that was just a great line-up of actors! not going to ruin it for you, just go see it, rent it buy it, tis a gooder!

Magnolia (1999,  R)
Magnolia 5.0 Stars
Caution: Do not watch this movie if you have recently lost a loved one, have just came down with a life threatening illness or are considering suicide. it will push you over the top! the whole time i thought to myself "wow...they nailed it!" nailed what exactly? human emotion, anxiety and depression at its worst. every character needed one big hug, goshi needed a bowl of icecream half way through the movie and that was the least stressful time! excellent film, so tragic and well written. it was just....sssssso realistic at times, so anti-cliche bullshit. the characters didn't beg to be pittied, they fought through their own struggles alone....which coincidently made it very sad, ever so misty did i get. the whole words of wisdom or amazing tagline that movie strive to have and it usually ends up being a pathetic line from shakespear....not here, each character had their own moment with their own valuable thoughts, words, feelings and perspectives.... genius!!! i was absolutly blown away, and the ending!!! oh man!!! im not going to give it away for you 'non-magnolia watchers' but think of the last thing that could possibly happen in life/in a movie.....thats what happens! haha, brilliant!!! and the performances!!! tom cruise, haha, we know that you really are that crazy in real life though, so im not sure we can classify that as a performance but thank you for the comic relief!!! can't wait to watch it again.....well yes i think i'll need to watch very light movies for the next week before i can put myself through something so emotionally taxing as this movie.....little mermaid you're calling my name!!!
