A walk to remember


Landon Carter (Shane West) is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. He meets the naive Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), who is a nerd and strange for him. Jamie helps Landon in drama lessons. Landon becomes her boyfriend. Jamie has cancer, they were going to get married and Jamie died.
I love this movie because it is very cute and romantic. For me they are the best movie and the best book in the world!

The Cinderella Story

The film "The Cinderella Story" is about a girl called Sam.


Her father died when she was a kid, and then she went to live with her stepmother, Fionna and the stepsisters. She starts working at Fionna's Café. She wants to study in Princeton, but she can’t afford it.

Sam meets a boy in the chat room. The problem is that he doesn't know who she is, and she doesn't know who he is - they don't say their names. The only thing they know is that they study in the same school, but they don't know if they have already seen each other.

Sam arranges to meet him at a costume party. But she doesn't have a fancy dress. So her friend Honda lends her one.
At the party she meets her "admirer". His name is Austin and he is the most popular boy in the school. Sam doesn’t say her name because she is afraid of being rejected.

Austin discovers who she is. She gets sad and humilliated for being a waitress.

In the end they go to Princeton together and Sam discovers that all the family's things belong to her.

I loved this movie and the actors. Chad Michael Murray performs Austin and Hilary Duff, Sam.

The only part I didn't like is when Sam is humilliated. I think it was too sad!

Tarzan



Tarzan is an entertaining film, a classic. It is directed by Edgar Rice Burroughs and the songs are Phil Collins’.

The film is about a man, Tarzan, who lives in a dangerous forest in Africa. He was brought by gorillas, but their leader, Kerchak, doesn’t like Tarzan, because he is human.
Tarzan grows up with Terk, his gorilla friend and Tantor, an elephant. They use to jump from tree to tree and make incredible stunts.
One day three researchers, Jane a very pretty and smart girl, her dad and Clayton, a bad hunter, arrive there. They met Tarzan and Jane falls in love with him.
If you want to know what happens next, see the film!!!

I think this film is very cool and funny because there are animals and suspense. When Kerchak dies with a shot, it’s very sad. Tarzan becomes the new leader.

Spider Man

This film is about Pete Parker’s life. Pete has brown eyes and brown hair. He loves Mary Jane who is a beautiful girl. She has green eyes and orange hair.
The film starts when Pete and his girlfriend Mary Jane are coming back home. ”A strange black thing” sticks on his motorbike plate. He leaves Mary Jane in her house and goes to his house. This “strange black thing” follows him and without being notice, it sticks on his clothes and starts controlling him.
He changes his behavior, but after some time he realizes the “thing” is controlling him. He tries to take his clothes off but he is not able to. He tries again and this time he succeeds but a drop of “the thing” falls on his friend’s clothes, who becomes a bad man and tries to destroy him.
In the end, his other friend helps Spider-man to destroy “the thing”
I liked the film because the special effects are really good but on the other hand it doesn’t have a good plot. It’s always the same story. But even so I recommend this film!

Snakes on a plane

The film is about a plane that goes to Hawaii. In the airplane there are boxes with snakes and a programmed clock to open them at a certain time during the flight.The boxes open releasing the snakes.They start to bite the members of the crew killing them.The scene is fear and horror in the airplane. Some members of the crew survive to tell the story.
In my opinion it is a good film but is out of touch with the reality.

Kill Bill


One of the best movies I have ever seen is Kill Bill.The movie is about a woman who is pregnant and brutally beaten up till death, but what they didn't expect was that after some years in coma she would wake up and search for revenge.

The whole story is divided into two movies.The firt one shows the revenge against two of the five killers.The second shows a little of the story before she was beaten up and her revenge against the last three, including Bill.

Kill Bill is an incredible movie because first of all it has an amazing director, Quentin Tarantino, who also directed Sin City, and shows the fantastic Uma Thurman fighting.There are also some great ideas Quentin improved in the movie, like the first big fight in black and white.

Click

Click is a film about a man who buys a universal remote control. This remote is magic. It can take you to any place you want, but it’s bad because it can move your life forward or backward.

It is a very good movie. The story is very touching.

The directors are Kate Beckinsale and Cristopher Walken. The main actor is Adam Sandler.

The message of the film is that we have to enjoy life every minute and never try to change it.

I recommend this film because it is very beautiful.

A Night At The Museum

The movie I chose is “A Night at the museum”. It was directed by Shawn Levy and the main characters are: The good guys: Larry Daley (Ben Stiller),Terry Roosevelt (Robin Williams). The bad guys: Gus (Mickey Rooney),Cecil (Dick Van Dyke) and Reginald (Bill Cobbs).

The movie is about a man called Larry Daley. Disillusioned and unemployed, he needs a job to pay his rent. So he is offered a job as a night guard at the natural History museum and he accepts it.
Cecil, the ex-night guard and his colleages Reginald and Gus show Larry the museum and tell him not to leave anything to get in or get out.
When the night comes, he falls asleep. When he wakes up he didn´t find the dinossaur and to his surprise it´s alive and acts like a dog. Another surprise is that all objects in the museum are alive too. When he goes to the miniature room he’s attacked and Terry Roosevelt saves him. He explains to Larry that the things in the museum are alive thank to the Ahkmenrah’s plate and if someone gets out when the sun is rising they are turned to dust.

In the end, the museum turns a success and people start visiting it. Every night when the museum closes, the objects come to life and have fun.
This movie makes us think we have to fight for our objectives if we want to succeed.

Movie Review

This movie is called ConAir. It is set in an airplane. The cast of this movie is: Nicolas Cage (Cameron Poe), John Cusack (U.S. Marchal Vince Larkin), John Malkovich (Cyrus Grissom), Ving Rhames (Nathan “Diamond Dog” Jones), Nick Chinlund (William “Billy Bedlam” Bedford), Steve Buscemi (Garland “The Marietta Mangler” Greene), Colm Meaney (DEA Agent Duncan Malloy), Rachel Ticotin (Guard Sally Bishop), Dave Chappelle (Joe “Pimball” Parker), Mykelti Williamson (Mike “Baby-O” O’Dell), Danny Trejo (Johnny “Johnny-23” Baca), M.C. Gainey (Swamp Thing), Steve Eastin (Guard Falzon), Renoly Santiago (Ramon “Sally-Can’t Dance” Martinez) and Monica Potter (Tricia Poe). The director of the movie is Simon West and the writer is Scott Rosenberg.
The movie is about Cameron Poe. He was imprisoned after he killed a guy in a restaurant when his wife was pregnant. He stayed in a prison for a long time and his daughter was born when he was there. He was free then and he traveled to his city with the most dangerous thief in the world. The thief and his friends took over the airplane and many prisoners would die. Will he survive? Will he meet his daughter?
This is an action movie and for those who like action movies it is a very good recommendation.
I liked this movie because it has screams and special effects. Just like other action movies, the fights are false.
