MOVIE REVIEW!

Technically it should be "movie reviews."

The other day I borrowed 17 again from my mom. The movie was very cute, very predictable, and very cheesy. I did enjoy it though. There were only small parts that I did not like, namely the parts with the principal. I thought those were overly cheesy and distracted from the film.

Push was a really good movie. It has Dakota Fanning in it, and I really like her! It was a very interesting movie, with lots of plot twists and action to keep you going. It was fairly intense and very fun. I will see this one again.

We also watched knowing, with Nicholas Cage. It was pretty good. A little jumpy, but nothing bad at all. The girl in the beginning of the movie was great! The rest were only alright after her. The movie was interesting. A little sci-fi, a little suspense. It was an interesting story.

Yesterday we rented a movie called The Brother's Grimm. It was fairly good. It has Health Ledger and Matt Damon as the brother's Grimm. They are called to a town to help them find their missing children. It was a clever movie that incorporated many of the Grimm's fairy tales. After seeing the cover I thought the movie would be a lot more trashy than it actually was, which was pleasing. It was an entertaining movie that I would possibly watch again. The acting was pretty good and the story was entrancing.

When we were finished with The Brother's Grimm, we went back and rented The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was pretty good. I thought the special effects and makeup were done very well! The story was interesting, and the acting was good as well. I did not like that it was based on a flashback through a journal. They cut into the story way too much to cut to a dying old woman with lung cancer and her daughter. That part could have been easily done without. Or at least cut A LOT of that garbage out. It was very predictable (at least with the mom and daughter) and I was just so sick of it. Anyways... Brad Pitt did an exceptional job and I truly loved his "mama" in the movie!
