Glory (1989,  R)
Glory 5.0 Stars
This movie absolutely made my heart melt. Not only was it very entertaining but also informative. I really learned a lot while my heart swelled inside of me. It is not just a war movie, its a wonderful story of the growth of a man who "gave his life for a race". Colonel Robert Gould Shaw is now one my heroes.


I love how you see Shaw grow as a person. At first, he is unable to connect with his black soldiers. He pushes his regiment to its greatest because he knows the horrors of war and the importance of discipline. He also knows that the success of the regiment will change the way Americans view African-Americans. Near the end of the movie , Shaw finally gains respect for his soldiers, earning their respect in return.


It amazes me that such a great, moving film whose main characters are such big names as Denzel Washington, Morgan Feeman and Matthew Broderick can be so under-rated and unknown!
This movie is able to give you a connectiong with the characters that is very refreshing.


Even though the ending is terribly sad, I could watch this movie a hundred times!
The power of Glory will stay with me forever.

I love it, this movie is just the best! Its very clever, so funny and just very very enjoyable to watch. And the music is absolutely great! Who ever thought of the story line was a genius, its very original. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow is soooo funny. I love the way he runs! I have nothing bad to say about this movie.

The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight 5.0 Stars
"The Dark Knight" is a very dark, creepy, warped movie that seems to go on forever but it is soooooo good! I was completely amazed with it even though its not one of those movies that makes you feel happy or one that so cool that it makes you wish it were real. Everyone I know that has seen it has the same exact reaction; when you leave the movie theatre youre just like "Whoa" And thats it.

The only thing I did not like was the new actress who played Rachel. They couldn't get the other girl to come back? What? I liked the old Rachel a lot better, I didn't like the new girl at all. She seemed to not just change faces but also personality, blah!

Pride and Prejudice 5.0 Stars
Wow! I was very surprised! I sort of expected it to be cheesy and/or boring but it was neither! It is romance which I usually detest but I loved it and it was also had some comic relief making it so enjoyable! Its great that you think Mr. Darcy was a bad guy but then it turns out that he's just misunderstood. I also thought the casting was spectacular...its just really, really great, I love it! Watching it makes me want to wear pretty dresses and go dancing at elegant balls!

Peter Pan 5.0 Stars
I love this movie so much, its got good characters, actors and music. It wasn't very close to the book, but thats okay, because if it was this movie would be very boring. (some people don't like it because they think it is not enough like the classic Disney movie, but this one is soooo much closer to the book and has great effects and acting I was very impressed.) Very entertaining! And Jeremy Sumpter, isn't he cute?

Eragon 5.0 Stars
Better than the book I think!
Great graphics and funny too! They left out some parts in the book, but that's understandable because there are some parts that are so slow in the book. Definitely more than I expected...I was pleasantly surprised! I love Garrett Hedlund as Murtagh, he's so hot! Renn and I agreed that we can share him but everyone esle...back off!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007,  PG-13)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 5.0 Stars
It was awesome!!!! I really liked it! The only thing is the way the movie was...it kinda seemed like it was just an in between movie, it was like made only to connect the 4th movie with the 6th...do you know what I mean? It was really neat though, I was very entertained! I think they adapted the story from the book very well, I don't think people who have not read the books would be too confused. I really didn't like that Sirius died but I knew it would happen. He has to come back though! There's something with that veil I think! He has to come back and ha and Harry have to live happily ever after!!! ^.^
P.S. Luna Lovegood rules!!!! lol

Therese (2004,  PG)
Therese 5.0 Stars
This is the true story of Saint Therese of Lisieux, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary soul. This movie is so beutiful, so strong and so accurate that it has been endorsed by the Vatican.

Saint Terese's story has already touched so many hearts through her autobiography and now there is an inspirational movie out that will reach to even more. I also have to mention the sets and costumes; the sets were based on photographs taken by terese's sister, Celene, and were exact right down to the cruxifix's and candles. Some of the costumes were actually 100 year old clothes from the period!

"Therese gives us hope. We live in a secular world, trapped by our materialistic frenzied lives; powerless to give up our comfortable homes, our ears or even cigarettes. Therese's message is that God wants to meet us right where we are and that we are not trapped. He is accessable to anyone who seeks Him. Therese exemplifies confidence in the mercy of God, Who loves us so much that He will do all the work, providing strength and perseverence for us to find true happiness."
Saint Therese of Lisieux, pray for us.

(Speaking of preying to saints, it is a common misunderstanding that Catholics worship the saints. Catholics honor saints - we thank God for the gifts He has given them and ask them to prey for us. It is like asking a friend to pray for you when you have a problem. The saints are simply friends in heaven; they are very close to God and know His will. Saint Therese has performed many miraclese from heaven, known because they are accompanied with the scent or gift of roses. She said herself, "I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth."

I think this was the best Spider-man! It had so many twists and it reveals so much...the villians were the best! I don't get me started on the graphics! The ending was very unpredictable! (Well, the very end with MJ well, that was pretty corny I must admit) I love Spider-man, it has fantasy, violence, drama and comedy all in one!

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End 4.5 Stars
Very awsomely cool!!! But it wasn't near as good or funny as the other two....it didn't tie in very good to the second one. I mean, the story kinda changed like the reason Davy Jones took his heart out. I was confused during a lot of it, it was all over the place. And while some things weren't explained enough, some things could have been shortened or left out! A very prolonged movie...and what about Norrington! He came in and helped a teeny bit with the plot then died!!!! Whats up with that??? And just suddenly, poof, Jacks dad shows up....that was useless. The acting of course was great, and the special effects were awesome! But I think they spent too much time making it full of special effects and gore than making it funny. It definitely wasn't as witty and funny as the other ones...in some parts Jack was his usual self (even though there was this one part where he suddenly cared for Will!) and some laugh out loud parts with Regetti and Pintel. But some is not enough! I was pretty disappionted (and the movie started at 10 didn't end til 1 so like half way I was nodding) Then they left an opening for another movie, what?!?! I hope its an improvement but how many movies are they gonna make?
