The Great Escape Movie Review

Ah, The Sandlot. A movie full of fifth and sixth grade boys playing baseball in the Summer. If you think it sounds boring, you're wrong. This is an excellent movie. It starts with a boy, named Scotty (Tom Guiry) who needs friends. He needed friends so bad that his mom was even concerned about him being cooped up in the house for a quarter of the summer. One day, he wanders to a baseball field and his want to have friends and be a part of something comes true. He even got a nickname, "Smalls". The boys did everything together, even got into and out of trouble together. But the number one important thing all nine of the boys did, was meet at the baseball field every single day.

On February 26th, 2017 I watched the Neil Young “Heart of Gold” concert with my dad. It was a DVD recording containing 20 tracks of his live performance. We watched the concert in our home theatre room through a sound system that captured the quality of the concert.

What makes a film great to the viewer watching it? Is it the plot of the story? Maybe even the timing of the film? Possibly the special effects? The answer is all of it makes a movie great. You cannot just take in a few things to determine if the movie fulfills your standards of what makes a film good. There are a few things that really makes the movie Arrival stand out as one of the better films of 2016. I believe that Arrival is built on the foundation that all great movies have a relatable theme, show good acting, and brings out certain emotion that keeps us wanting more.

“[I] throw in some real stuff, change a few details, add the certainty of outrage…The story of what happened, or what did not happen but should have – that story can become a curtain drawn shut, a piece of insulation, a disguise, a razor, a tool that changes every time it is used and sometimes becomes something other than we intended. The story becomes the thing needed.”

“Hollywood usually ends up swallowing people and eating them alive”, are some of the beginning words in the National Geographic docu-series Drugs Inc... The documentary is rightly names “Hollywood high” because of its raw footage. This film is a chilling depiction of drugs and Hollywood. Its uncut material shows the reality of how drugs can affect people of every walk of life. A person doesn’t have to be rich or poor to become drug dependent. The film goes on to say how “fame hungry wannabes” and the “panhandling homeless” are two of the main populations to be affected by Hollywood’s thriving drug trade. Some of the other populations affected by Hollywood’s thriving drug trade are those who want to “stay up” and “be thin”. This film is not only about the populations affected by the thriving Hollywood drug trade but also the drug dealers and doctors who provide the drugs to that population.

We had to use the back door to get in. They called it the “black door”, which was basically just the name for the only door that the black people could use to get into the place. They made us come in through the back, about an hour before the front doors opened, and set up our stuff onstage. We were given a little under ten minutes to set up everything and then they sent us offstage, where we were told to stay out of sight until they called us onstage. Most places gave us our own dressing room, to hang out and smoke in, unless of course there was also a white man performing, in which case he’d get the room, and we’d sit on the floor backstage. Tonight, we had a dressing room. It was nights like this that I loved; when we could book a speakeasy to perform at, and the man who ran the club treated us like we were real stars; when we got our own dressing room, the same one that all the white men used. Those nights when we had to give up the room to those men, by contrast, were the worst; it was like being reduced from the star of the show, to the opening act. They called us Richie and the Gang. Eli played a really slick four-stringed Dobro Tenor, Lyon performed with a 22 fret plectrum banjo, Denny and Rod had the hippest bass saxophones around, Louis played the Buescher trumpet, and Ray and Eugene used whatever piano and drum set the speakeasies we played at had to offer. The girls and I sang back up for Richie, the real show-stealer. He was everything you’d expect from a 1940’s

The movie begins with Solomon Chandler (Rip Torn) riding across the road on a cart. British soldiers stop the cart and inspect the cargo. As they inspected, they found stolen weapons and ammunition.

“Good Night, and Good Luck” is not your typical Hollywood film full of conventional action, cliff hangers, and romance. It is however a masterpiece of its time, about an era that many Americans try to forget. George Clooney, an esteemed American Actor and director of this film tried to capture a period of time known as the McCarthy Era where the “red scare” or fear of communism allowed the Senator from Wisconsin to try and convict suspected traitors. Its historical accuracy with real footage, quotations, and individuals, along with the distinct characteristics of Edward R. Murrow by actor David Strathairn are remarkably accurate. The film takes place virtually entirely in

Great Actor-Best film has excellent quality actors. Most actors selected duty that epitomize them and they can make the characters seem credible or imaginable.

     The actors are believable in their roles. Steven Martin who acts as George Banks is outstanding in his role, he acts very well, so the audience knows his feelings, and feels sorry for him. The stars are not the main reason for me to see the film, but the title is.

Phenomenal Acting and a jaw dropping storyline are the foremost reasons why The Departed is by all means a spectacular movie. This film will go down as one of the best crime thrillers of the 21th century. Many viewers of this movie will find themselves astonished as the storyline roller-coaster’s around making twists and turns never expected. Some may question the vulgar language and intense violence but if you are a person who’s easily offended, simply do

The movie Gran Torino, is an American film directed by Clint Eastwood, who also stars as the main character. The movie was set in Highland Park, Michigan which was a nearby suburb of Detroit. In prior years, Highland Park was populated by white families that had come to the area to work in the Ford car factories, but over time, “the damn chinks” moved into the neighborhood as Walt Kowalski would say. This show was the first American film to show Hmong Americans, which were war refugees that had resettled in the U.S. following the communist takeover of Laos in 1975 (Yuen). The main character, Clint Eastwood is a widowed Korean War veteran who often shows bursts of racism and anger towards people of different race, especially the Asian immigrants in his neighborhood. His neighbor, Thao Vang Lor, a young Hmong teenager becomes a key character in the movie after he gets pressured into stealing Walt’s 1972 Gran Torino in an attempt to be initiated into a Hmong gang in which his cousin is involved with. While attempting to steal the car, Walt catches Thao and is sure to prove a point that he is not going to take any slack from him and or the Hmong gang members.
