Salt Movie Review

Salt = ***1/2

Director Phillip Noyce, makes this action thriller starring Angelina Jolie as a CIA agent  Evelyn Salt, who is accused of being a Russian spy. With each attempt Salt (Jolie) makes to prove her innocence, her mentor, Winter (Liev Schreiber), only grows more suspicious of her true motivations. 

This Movie changed my thought of Angelina, because all the movies she usually are in of her being a rich, well know character. Another thing that I thought was very cool for Angelina is her doing her own stunts. She will not take no for an answer even if the director Phillip thinks she can't. Angelina trained a lot for this movie in order to do her own stunts, and I think its really cool that she did. I thought this movie was quite interesting. If you do end up seeing this movie, tell me what you think. 

 

Supersize Me Movie Review

Supersize Me = ***1/2

The documentary "Super Size Me" is very interesting film.   This movie tells the story of a very healthy, middle-aged man named Morgan Spurlock who decided to find out how bad fast food actually is for the body. 

He guessed that the reason America is so obese is because of the amount of fast food that they eat. In order to see if this hypothesis was correct, he decided that he would eat at McDonald's three times a day for an entire month. He had to order supersized meals when asked, and eat everything on the menu at least once. He also could not walk more than the average American exercises each day. As part of this experiment, he asked many people what they thought of McDonald's and how often they ate there. At first, the new diet did not make a huge difference to Spurlock, but after about a week he started to feel a change in his physical and mental health. 

Spurlock concluded that fast food is dangerous, unhealthy, and likely the reason why America is so obese. 

This movie confirmed for me that I would NEVER go to McDonald's. I would love to hear your feed back.  

Yes Man Movie Review

Yes Man = ****

"Yes Man" staring Jim Carrey as Carl Allen, a guy who says no to every opportunity that comes to him until he signs up for a self-help program based on one simple covenant: say "yes" to everything and anything.   

The power of "YES" begins to transform Carl's life in amazing and unexpected ways getting him promoted at work and opening the door to a new romance. But his willingness to embrace every opportunity might just become too much of a good thing. 

 

Limitless Movie Review

LIMITLESS = ****

A great science fiction movie always begins with a great “what if” question. Neil Burger’s latest film “Limitless” asks what if there was a pill that could make us smarter, richer and more powerful. Bradley Cooper stars as Eddie Morra who learns about the existence of such a pill after randomly running into his ex-brother-in-law on a New York street.
 The pill opens up and activates those large areas of our brains that, we are told, are never used. It allows us to process and understand information much faster than the average person. It opens those dusty file cabinets of lost memory buried deep in our warehouse. It allows us to interact positively with anyone in social situations. The ability to understand the stock market from a psychological point of view can, apparently, turn you into a rich man overnight.
 Because this pill is designed to make us smarter, the film has a level of intelligence usually abandoned in recent Hollywood thrillers. Thankfully the pill does not give us superhuman strength, so Cooper never morphs into Iron Man and the movie avoids comic book stupidity. Although I’m sure a movie about a pill that turns someone into a superhero can’t be far off, “Limitless” is a thoughtful real-world thriller based on a great “what if” question.

Welcome to my Blog

When people feel lonely or sad, to happy even, they sometimes go to the movies to make them feel better. I on the other hand love the movie know matter how I feel. Of course everyone loves going to the theater but I also prefer my home T.V. I made this blog because one thing I am interested in doing as a career when I grow up is being a movie critic. I enjoy watching any types of movies including action, adventure, comedy (which is my personal favorite) musical and dance, science fiction, and western. Since I love watching movies so much, my mom brought up the idea of writing a review for each movie I watch. I thought that was a great idea so I made blog to share my thoughts on the movies. First and foremost, I would like to tell you a little about myself besides the movies. I am a 12 year-old  7th grader attending Centennial Middle School in Boulder, Colorado. I love playing tennis and have played in a couple tournaments including a back to school tournament, 14 girls singles, and to my amazement ended up wining the tournament. I also love writing and I have written a story about the Holocaust for my languages arts class. I have been training in a form of martial arts called To-Shin-Do for 4 and a half years now and I just recently earned my black belt this February.
