Girl, Interrupted

Girl, Interrupted - Based on a true story. ******************************************************************************************** 'Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60's. Or maybe I was just a girl... interrupted.' ******************************************************************************************** An excellent plot based on the true story of Susanna Kaysen's autobiography on her stay in a mental institution... Susanna is depressed and directionless after finishing high school in the late 1960's. A suicide attempt lands her in Claymore, a mental institution. She befriends the band of troubled women in her ward (Georgina the pathological liar, the sexually abused Daisy, the burn victim Polly) but falls under the hypnotic sway of Lisa, the wildest and most hardened of the bunch. Will Susanna "drop anchor" at Claymore and perpetually act out like Lisa, or will she finally pull her mind together and leave institutional life behind?.. ****************************************************************************************** 'You know, taking us for ice creams in a blizzard... makes you wonder who the real whack jobs are.' ****************************************************************************************** There are some great scene in the movie but the two that gets me is the scenes were when they go to Daisy's house and Lisa confronts her about her father then the next day Susanna is walking up the stairs to find Daisy is dead, and the scene were Susanna and Valerie have a talk, its just incredible and it really touches your heart its just amazing... Fantanic peformance from both Wionna Ryder and Angelina Joile.... Jolie completely immerses herself in the role, and gives a moving, intriguing and haunting performance as Susanna's best friend at the hospital. Although Ryder does an excellent job portraying the earnestness and confusion of her character, Jolie is the true star of this movie... I also admire the smaller roles in it such as Brittney Murphy who was amazing, Clea Duvall and Whoppi Goldberg... the cast is enchanting... James Mangold has done a beautiful job directing this movie.. i would recommend anyone to see this movie even if you haven't read the book, the movie has a great impact on the life of Susanna..********************************************************************************* 'If I could have any job in the world I'd be a professional Cinderella.' *********************************************************************************
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
PG-13
Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix - Evil Must Be Confronted ********************************************************************* 'You're a fool, Harry Potter, and you will lose everything.' ********************************************************************* After returning to Hogwarts to begin his fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter discovers that much of the wizarding world, including the Ministry of Magic, is in denial about Lord Voldemort's return. The Order of the Phoenix, a group sworn against Voldemort, is using its vast array of wizards and witches magical abilities to combat Voldemort. Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, suspects that Dumbledore is using these claims of The Dark Lord's return as a means to over-throw Fudge as Minister. In retaliation, a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is appointed by the Ministry in order to keep an eye on Hogwarts. This new teacher, Professor Umbridge, implies strict new teachings and rules, forcing a group of students, under the tutelage of Harry, to form a club, by the name of Dumbledore's Army... **************************************************************************************** i thought the casting for the characters of luna, tonks and Umbridge were done very well... the acting was amazing in this movie... ******************************************************************************************** I was so happy to hear that helena would be taking over helen to play the role of bellatrix lestrange.. she is amazing doing her even tho she only had a couple of lines, she pulled it off great..********************************************************************************************* Daniel, gives his best performance as Harry by adding further depth, anger, and vulnerability to the character.. he really is the perfect Potter.. Rupert and Emma are once again delightful and thier performaces are getting better and better and the rest of the cast are fab.. I loved the end fight between dumbledore and voldmort(amazing).. leaving a hole for the nxt hp movie..david yates did a great job.. I would certainly recommend the movie for everyone, fan or not, as it really was a well made movie ************************************************************************************** He really is out there, isn't he? We've got to be able to defend ourselves. And if Umbridge refuses to teach us how, we need someone who will. ***************************************************************************************
