Amanda's Talk

Race to Witch Mountain

This movie was average it wasn't too bad.

This movie started off slow with not much going on but then afterwards it got into some sort of story it didn't have the story in alot of detail but there was a fair ammount of story to keep most people entertained.

As a disney if you look at it that way this is pretty weak this doesn't stick with the other disneys in the past out of the disneys I have watched most of them are better and more interesting than this one but this one wasn't a waste of time.

The effects done in this was done pretty well it had some good stuff going on in some scenes and some of the effects were almost as good as the masterpeice action films the effects were done pretty well.

The main thing that lets this movie down is how slow and boring the storyline got at times it did have interesting scenes but some scenes did drag about average of the scenes were very good though just I found the story a bit slow and boring in parts also the begining or ending was not the best.

As for the acting it had good times and bad times they got strong in parts but they were not strong throughout some of the actors did lack at times and did get weaker but overall the acting was done okay.

Overall this film was average so its up to you if you want to see this my advice would be don't pay to see this if you are not a hardcore disney fan and don't know what to expect.

The Pursuit of Happyness

Contains spoilers!

In basic this tells a story of chris who wasn't paying tax.
Because he wasn't paying things off he was asked to go to court and in the end he was forced to live out on the streets in shelters with him and his son christopher.

The begining starts off quite slow bit still interesting perhaps though they could of added more of a true story of what actually happened.
Also I think they could of showed more evidence of what actually happened at the time you couldn't actually see that easily if the story was accurate all the way through.

I can trust ther majority of it being right but the thing was they didn't give out too much information of what happened no did they show enough evidence of what happened.

The acting was done pretty good but there were a few errors in with it the acting could of been done stronger in some parts.

However it was really nice to see Will Smith and Jaden Smith the little son together in this movie and the conversations between them were done very well eventhough they were belonging they got on with the acting properlly his voice at the moment isn't all that strong as Will Smiths is but his acting this young is pretty good.

As it goes with the ending the ending did lack a bit the storyline wasn't as interesting and the jokes the little boy was telling just didn't make me laugh like I was expecting.

But overall this film was slightly above average so I'm deffinitly reccomending this.

Nim's Island

Contains some spoilers!
In basic this tells the story of a girl who is on a island on her own waiting for her father to come home.

As it goes for this movie this was another average film.
This film starts off really slowly and the humour in it was more for younger children but more towards the end then the movie is more suitable for the whole family just young children will enjoy the begining more I found the begining too slow for my liking though.

The acting did have a few weak bits but the acting still wasn't terrible Gerald Butler did a good job acting and there was some strong acting from a few other actors.

Overall this film was average and children will love this film if you are a big fan of children films please check this one out I just thought the acting was not strong enough the begining was a bit slow and not enough detail and some scenes may not of entertained the children that much.

UPDATE:I enjoyed the film more this time so I am going to change this film rating from 2.5 stars to 3 stars not only is this film for young children but its for the family to and its an enjoyable movie and should be atleast considered as a good movie.

Superhero Movie

Contains spoilers!

In basic this tells the story of the main character at first going onto a bus then he dresses up as a superhero and became a real superhero he saved many of other peoples lives the only thing was he couldn't fly but he could do everything else

As for a spoof movie I don't expect much more than this.
This movie was deffinitly better than Disaster movie which I didn't enjoy and it was slightly better than Epic movie.
This movie didn't suffer and I didn't think it did too bad for a spoof.It wasn't good enough for me to give this 3 stars and this movie is quite easily for me to rate. This movie doesn't attempt me to rate this higher or lower it only did its basic job which was too not make the film bad.

This movie made me laugh a little bit in a few scenes just the begining was far too slow and the story could of been much more interesting at the end.
This also could of been funnier at some scenes don't get me wrong this movie did have its laughs but I have seen funnier films in the past like marley and me,clockwise,christmas lights,home alone,night at the museum.
This movie was just basic it had nothing special about this movie that made me think this is the best film I have seen in a long time same thing as this film wasn't that bad for me to think that its terrible it still was average in my opinion.

The acting was strong in some scenes but some of the actors did lack in some scenes they seemed to loose something something with the acting was missing in some parts but as always expecially Drake Bell he did an impressive job this wouldn't of been as good with out him let me tell you.

Overall this was average if you have liked Disaster movie and Epic movie you will like this because this is more funny than the others.

Hancock

This movie is done very well with some great action scenes.

This movie is quite memorable and as very few scenes that may be forgetable I watched this and didn't loose much interest with this movie at all most of it was done fantastic.
The action scenes was done very well and Hancock probablly will be atleast your average superhero film.

Hancock was bad at times and was good at times but whatever he was if he was bad or good he still made this film well all the action he did and how strong he was was just increable.

The film doesn't suffer in many ways there may be a few scenes that dragged on a bit and there may be a few scenes that you may find a bit too slow but very few.
I thought the begining started off a bit slow but then the action scenes started to get good and there was loads of scenes that was constantly good.
The acting was pretty good too it had a few weaker parts and I have seen Will Smith acting better in other films like I Robot and Men in black but he still acted well in this and put on some incredible great action scenes and several of his scenes was constantly good.
This film was not an insult to its genre with all the other action scenes this movie was just as good as many others it wasn't laughable for its genre or anything.
I thought this comedy/action film was done very good and all the action the police chases and everything was just done incredibly well.
The only problem which this film had was the story at the begining and end was a bit too slow this film had a very good twist with some excellent effects but the story at the begining and end was done a bit too slow for my liking.
Also the acting could of been a bit stronger in parts too mostly at the begining.

Overall this film was done very well it could of been improved in parts but overall this was done well so I'm deffinitly reccomending this movie.

Love's Abiding Joy

This was a western

Well I have seen three other westerns and out of what I have seen this one was most probablly the weakest western I have seen.
This wasn't bad just not as good as the other westerns I have seen well it didn't wow me then

The acting was okay it had a few weak bits but it was alright.
The problem with the acting was mostly at the begining they seemed to talk so you couldn't really understand them they were talking a bit quietly and seemed to speed the conversations.

Then the acting as it got on became more understandable so you could understand what the conversations were about I think they started to cocertrate more on their acting then and just had a terrible start.

The storyline started off quite slow but then the storyline slightly speeded up as the story moved on they seemed to of added more of a storyline and it became quite interesting however,it was still a bit too slow for me this film seemed to overall have a really slow story it had a slow ending too.

Overall this film was average eventhough this film had a really slow storyline to it this had some sort of a story that entertained me enough to give it an average.

This is worth one or two watches but no more than that.

Knocked Up

Not quite as good as Superbad but still very good with some hilerious parts.

This wasn't a laugh out Loud movie but it still kept me entertained not quite as good as Superbad but still entertaining too watch.

With the woman having a baby and all the fuss she was making was just hilerious stupid in parts but still fun and I like these type of movies.

It started off slow with some okay acting but then the acting improved and started to get quite strong the only problem was the begining was far too slow.

The ending was done very well just the story dragged a bit in parts it wasn't too bad for me to say it was a bad movie just it wasn't as funny as Superbad I really enjoyed that.

I laughed in parts with this film it had its funny moments and it was good just the story was too slow that was the problem expecially at the begining I thought.

But still I thought this movie was done well and its worth one or two watches so if you are in the mood in seeing a stupid movie please check out this one.

Just My Luck

People who have been rating this may be crazy did they mix up that they had seen it or were they half asleep when this movie was on.

Seriously counting all the other films I have seen in this genre this is an insult to its genre I don't think the people who did this movie new what genre it was suppose to be.

The actors in this were incredible pathetic and they were not funny infact they were plain stupid.
Yes this is like a movie watching someone saying Norman swollowed a bottle ambaluence coming and trying to get a bottle out of his mouth and then a gas mask accidently going into someone elses mouth.

This movie had several actors playing themselves far to many playing themselves really.

The actors were incredible weak and really didn't know how to act they were all stupid.

The story started off slow and boring and it ended with it being slow and boring this movie didn't really have a begining.
This film started off really slow and I was thinking its going to kick in but this film just didn't this film was very bad and stupid in its genre the actors didn't seem to be enjoying themselves fully nor was any emotion or anything like it shown.
The story ended just like the begining it ended with a slow storyline.
Basically the begining and end didn't have enough detail nor did it have a twist it was done very slow and a faster storyline was needed for this film the acting got weak constantly aswell.

Overall this film was extremly bad so I will not be reccomending this to you.

American Guerrilla in the Philippines (I Shall Return)

This tells the story of how people lived in second world war.

This movie is a insult to its genre its rated as a childrens film in our country well if I had children I will not let them see it.

The film will not entertain the children and doesn't tell the full story of world war 2 this movie shows people shooting that is not all of what happened in world war 2 bombs were thrown and much more none of that was shown in this movie.

The acting was incredibly weak it started off average and just dropped it looked as if the actors just didn't have any faith in themselves they started off alright but all of the sudden they constantly talked quietly the acting was just a load of squeeches all these fake emotions it didn't look real even everything was just terrible except the first half hour after that everything in this movie was constantly weak and it was insulting.

This movie as low hopes of winning any awards and if they have already I will be amazed because I really don't think its going to happen I almost fell asleep towards the end.

Anyone who thinks this is average or good must be crazy this movie was just an insult to its genre there are much better drama,war films out there this stays with Battle of the Bulge it was just as bad as that this movie just showed constant gun shooting seriously I'm really into History its one of my favourite subjects so I know that just showing gun shooting isn't all or anywhere near world war 2.

Basically this didn't have enough detail on world war 2 the story was far to slow and it was not interesting the begining was average still that could of been better and the ending and the acting was extremly weak the actors constantly showed nothing.

Overall you should not see this there are better films in this genre out there.

The Tenth Circle

Contains spoilers.

This tells the story of a girl who goes to a party she was suppost to be raped up stairs so the police is involved.

She says that she can't remember with what actually happened she says she only knows parts of it.

Jason who was suppost to of raped her was suppost to of gave her a drug so she didn't know what had happened lots of people said that he raped her but they didn't have much evidence so they weren't sure if they were telling the truth or not.

Then all photos of her gets posted all over the internet showing photos of that 15 year old girl.

Children copy it onto their mobile phones and show it in class the 15 year old girl sees it all and gets upset and runs out of the classroom the children just giggles and makes fun that she took it to the police.She tried to explain to them that her parents forced her do it but the children wouldn't listen the children kept on about it and she become quite angry.

One day Jason tries to hits her when she gets out of the car and her father notticed and started to beat him up and said to leave my daughter alone and don't go near her again.

Next thing the 15 year old girl had gone and they started looking for her and started to get worried she was hiding because she was upset with what happened but her dad found her and tried to calm her down and make her happy.

The police then got a video of what happened with the 15 year olds father and Jason.
The police goes to the 15 year olds house and asks her questions and told her to tell her father that they want him she gets him and asks what for and they say that they got a video of him hitting Jason and asks questions she tries to explain that he didn't and wasn't there and started to lie.

They told her you are not going to get out of it by lieing and started to get very upset about it.Her father then tried to tell her that everyone thought he was bad when he was younger and tried to calm her down.

Then the police came and they went to court they found out that how Jason died was because the little girls mother got violent to him when he was near a bridge and he fell in the water and it himself on something.

The police said to them that we are not going to make any arrests this soon so go home they told them and the family were happy with the police.

The acting was done pretty good just it had a few weaker parts the acting itself wasn't materpiece but it was very good and you could tell that they put alot of effort in with the acting.

The main thing that did suffer with the acting was sometimes the voices was done a bit too quietly well it didn't actually suffer badly but it did get weaker but it was still good and I'm happy to see good acting in a film.

The story was done very well the only problem was the begining and end was a bit too slow and did suffer a bit it was really slow and it didn't go into a story that much straight away and the ending I don't think was done in enough detail maybe more detail was needed right at the begining of the movie and right at the end of the movie maybe a much better twist and a faster storyline maybe more of a emotional storyline could of been added right at the begining or end too.

As it goes for the story and acting it was done about average well none of it was done badly but there were ways how they could of improved it some of the scenes they showed may be forgetable but there were many scenes that were showed that will stick into your head too well overall the film was done better than average not a masterpiece but this movie was still done very good emotional in parts it had some charming parts some serious parts and a few funny parts and some scenes that were just interesting this movie was a mixed and it made you feel happy in parts and it also made you sad in other parts so this had happy scenes and sad scenes.

Overall this film was done well so I'm deffinitly reccomending this movie.

Smoky

A very good film with some brilliant acting

Contains spoilers!

This tells a story of a black horse called Smoky if anyone exsept the owner went near the horse the horse would become wild.

One day the owners brother stole the horse and sold the horse on the owner was trying to trace who had is horse and he found the one who had the horse in the end after it got sold on a number of times.

The horse became really happy to see his owner because the horse had been missing him.

The owner was a bit upset because his brother pulled rope around the horse and hurted the horse and his brother had friends to help him tie the rope to the post or whatever too.

Some people were really cruel to the horse so the owner was very happy to have him back and when he was with his owner he new his way home.The horse tried to get away a number of times to try and exscepe but they kept on catching him and being really nasty to the horse.

Some parts got boring and slow at times right at the begining it was interesting but then it got slow a bit after that in parts but most of the story was done very well and the acting was fantastic.The story was done in a lot of detail telling the true story of what happened to smoky this type of film didn't suffer in many parts the story dragged near the begining and in some parts after that but the story wasn't effect much in any ways it was done very well and in an awful lot of detail how wild the horse got at times were just amazing and the film had emotional parts and occassionally the film had very happilly parts too the film got funny in parts and got sad in parts well I would say this much this western was probablly the best western I have seen well probablly most deffinut the best movie I have seen.

As I have said the story about smoky and the story of the western itself was very well done and the story didn't get weak or slow often this movie didn't suffer anyways the story may of dragged in a few scenes but the story overall was still good.

Well they could of made the story a bit more interesting and faster but this was good.

Overall I'm deffinitly reccomending this film.This film was very well done probablly the best western I have ever seen.

Tuck Everlasting

Actually I wasn't interesting in seeing this I saw it on tele and I have now seen it and I quite liked it.

Contains spoilers!
This tells the story of a little girl who doesn't want to attend school but her parents wants her too.

Because she doesn't want to she exscepes into the woods a man comes onto her and says she shouldn't be in this part of the woods she says she owns the woods but the man tells her to go home and chases her.

She says that if she knows the way and then another man came and thought she was lost so he grabbed her onto a house and sent her home to his family and gives her food her parents starts looking for her in the woods because she likes the woods so much but they don't find her so they start getting woried eventually they find her and they become happy because they missed her so much so its an happy ending.

The movie starts off slow and boring but as the movie goes on it just gets better and better.
Basically the begining could of been more interesting and with a faster storyline.

The acting was done pretty well I couldn't fault it really for a disney the acting was done well enough it could of been stronger in parts but it did with me and so did the plot the story was interesting enough as a disney.I have seen better disneys but I have seen worsed too. This movie is up to standard with other disneys the stories happy at the end it as a good meaning some fab acting and a good fantasy plot added to it.

As I have said the acting could of been better and so could the story of been faster and more interesting at the begining but considering I wasn't interested in seeing this movie this was good I happened to notice it was on tele in the morning and I wasn't doing anything so I watched it and I'm happy I did.

The story at the end could of been done much faster too but as a disney this movie was good.

Overall I'm deffinitly reccomending this its very good for a disney please check this out soon.

In the end they got married but they found out that she didn't get divorced first so at first people were annoyed with her but the police and her had an happy life together.

And thats what the story was about

This movie had a slow start with not much happening the start of it was slow and a bit boring but then afterwards it speeded up a bit and the story wasn't too bad about an average story really.

The acting was pretty strong just there was one actress that I found weak and annoying maybe the acting could of been improved by a slight.

The conversations in parts could of been speeded up too mostly at the begining.

This film was an average film so its up to you if you would like to check this film out.

The improvements for this film are.

1.Better story at the begining
2.Faster story
3.Stronger acting
4.Faster conversations
5.A bit more of a ending to the film.

Max Keeble's Big Move

Contains spoilers

This tells the story of a young boy called Max who goes to school and makes some wonderful friends is Father says that he as to move 100 miles away to Chicago he becomes a bit upset because he will not see his friends ever again.

His Father then tells him that he can make new friends and moving then didn't seem so bad for him.

Because he was going to move over to Chicago his friends were going to have a party with him so he will have fun with them before leaving to go and live over Chicago.

The boy was a bit upset but he didn't think moving will be all that bad then with what is father said.

His mother didn't know if he would enjoy it or not but she was just hoping he would enjoy it over chicago.Then his friends and Max had food together in his school and they start throwing food across the hall and being very naughty the teacher gets hit by food and then the man teacher comes in and shouts at them then a monkey was in the hall and attacked the teacher all the children were laughing because of this because no one liked this teacher in the film.

Then another time Max came into a classroom all wet and the teacher starts shouting at him and says you are to do 200 word essay by Friday he says he will do it in class now and he started throwing stuff and started to cheek the teacher so the teacher started doubling is essay he found it funny though and just walked out of the classroom he started cheeking a load of teacher and started becoming really naughty and getting up to all sort of mischive.

When he went home his father told him the good news and he told him that he found another job close to his home and hes become boss so he will be running his own buisness so now we will not be moving.

The boy Max couldn't speak because he was so happy that he could stay and bother with his own friends he went to the dance hall went to discos bothered with friends and had lots of fun with where he was.

Well I can go on about the story the story was so interesting

But I will start by saying the acting was pretty good it could of been improved in parts and could of been stronger but overall the acting was good.

The story started off a bit slow and a bit boring and it dragged a bit towards the end However,the middle bit and some other parts of the story was done very well.

So basically they could of had more of a twist at begining and end also the story dragged in some parts the story in parts got slow and not all that interesting so maybe that could of been improved.

The targets I would give for this film are

1.More of a twist at begining and end
2.Story done a little bit faster
3.Story done in more detail
4.Stronger acting in parts

Overall this film was done very well so I'm deffinitly reccomending this one this movie was better than average.Some scenes were forgetable but some scenes are memorable too.

Maybe some scenes could of been done in more detail so the scenes was memorable thats all.

Mickey Blue Eyes

Contains spoilers!

This movie starts off by telling the story of people going into a bidding hall and bidding then it tells the story with Michael with his girlfriend.

After Michael as been to the bidding hall he goes with is girlfriend to the chinease restaurent. The waitress there makes the lady eat a fortune cookie but she keeps on saying that she isn't hungry but she eats it in the end.

Then Michael loves his girlfriend so much he wants to get married with her but because of her father she thought it was best not to. They discussed it with michael and they discided to get married.

When Michaels girlfriend was getting married she got shot and Michael was a bit upset but she managed to suvive at the end.

One day a man comes into Michaels and the girlfriends house with a gun and he starts hitting Michael so Michaels girlfriends shot him with that mans gun. The girlfriend is frightened because of this because she as never murdered a person before and she doesn't know what was going to happen.

Michael then hides the body but the next morning the police finds the body burried and its on the news and everything. Michael didn't know what to do.

This movie had a really nice story and it started off with some nice music but maybe the story at the start wasn't too good. I don't think they should of showed people at a bidding hall right at the start.

As I said this had very nice music at the start but I don't think the twist was very good at the begining.

The acting was pretty strong it had a few weaker bits but overall it was alright maybe the acting could of been much stronger in parts.

The story overall was also done well however,some parts did get a bit slow and some scenes dragged a bit. Some scenes didn't seem to be getting anywhere.
Some scenes were memorable but there were some scenes that may be forgetable. Its not one of these movies that will stick in your head for a life time.
Some parts were really good but it wasn't as good as some films like the rock,superbad,marley and me,men in black and so on. Its not that memorable. Like some films gives you good memorys but this movie will not give you alot of memorys. I found this movie just average.There are alot worsed films out there but there are alot better films out there too.

Also maybe some scenes could of been made more funnier maybe made it more of a comedy. This movie does have funny bits but it wasn't like laugh out loud like some movies like clockwise,marley and me and so on. It didn't have really really funny bits it only had a few.

Overall this movie was average it could of been better. If you see this try and see it without paying for it. Because it wasn't that good to go paying out to go and see this film.However,this film wasn't bad and if you are a Hugh Grant fan please try and see it soon because he was in alot of scenes.

Well these are ways how this movie could be improved.

1.Stronger acting
2.Faster storyline
3.More of a story added
4.Funnier in some scenes
5.Better twist at begining.

Angus

This story tells the story of a boy who liked football.He was in school and is friend was getting bullied so he stuck up for him but then he got bullied but he taught the bullies at the end.
He was asked then to go to the dance with his friends he wanted to go but he had to go in a purple top and all the others went in black and he didn't like that so then he wasn't fussed in going but he went in the end.

I found this movie dead boring it didn't entertain me throughout the time it was on I was expecting for the story to kick in a bit but it just didn't the story was done in such a compicated way I found it difficult to understand what was going on throughout half of the movie I was thinking to myself there must be more in the story than just this but it didn't seem like to me this movie didn't work out well for me.

The acting in my opinion was pretty bad I like seeing strong acting with lots of emotions and I like to see the actors as if they are enjoying doing the film that fat one just seemed misable and there weren't much going on throughout the film there wasn't much laughing or crying going on.

The story was slow right at the begining and it was slow throughout the plot didn't have much of a story and I thought it suffered the rediculous story with them going to the dance all these squeeky voices all the immature arguements with the pathetic bullying that was going on didn't entertain me at all I just found it dead boring all this shouting and yelling was just immature and the storyline was told in an adult way the story was not easy to understand and I just couldn't understand what was happening it wasn't rude or anything it was just very hard to understand.

Basically this film needed more of a twist at the begining and at the end the story could of been much faster and more entertaining the acting could of been stronger aswell.

These are the targets I will give for this film

1.Stronger acting
2.More of a interesting storyline
3.More of a twist at the begining
4.More of a twist at the end
5.Faster storyline
6.More emotions shown
7.Easier to understand
8.Actors didn't seem to be enjoying themselves

Overall I thought this film was pretty bad so I will not be reccomending for anyone to see this.

Aliens in the Attic

A bit better than what I expected.

This movie started off slow and just got better and better this movie as its laughs and there are sad moments.

The ending and the effects were good but theres another movie I saw that was just above average.

The acting was pretty good but the acting did have its weak bits it could of been a bit stronger but the acting could of been alot worsed.

Also there was one bit when the effects weren't too good it was really hard to tell what was actually happening because of all these effects.

Also I thought they could of made it more suitable for older children because it was a PG the problem with this movie was some scenes were a bit immature for older children.Children that are above the age of 13 but some of the scenes were a bit too scary for the younger children children around about the age of 7 or 8 I don't think this movie really new what to do to make it suitable for older children it was like im beetween an age group like.

Overall this movie was really good it had some strong acting in parts it had a good twist just a bit slow at the begining.The ending was wonderful.The effects were pretty good but the effects got bad at one part but overall this movie was good so I'm definitly reccomending this to everyone the ending expecially was good and some great action.

The targets I would give for this film are

1.More suitable for older children.
2.Stronger acting
3.More of a twist at the begining
4.Better effects throughout the film.

Please see this movie soon!
