Batman: The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is the 2nd Batman movie to come out in recent years. It followed Batman Begins. The Dark Knight is a duel between Batman and the evil Joker. The Joker has no boundaries and is completely making havoc in Gothom City. Buildings are blowing up, people are dying, and many others are being blackmailed. The Joker tests people to see whether darkness can cover light. For much of the movie darkness covers light but luckily Gothom City has Batman on their side. Wow, this movie is fantastic. The movie is really long, and the whole time I loved the movie. I wish it was longer. That is how good the movie is. Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker is incredible. He is charismatic as he is evil. I would not want to go up against him in a battle. I also love Christian Bales portrayal of batman. He does a wonderful job of being the Dark Knight. This movie receives a A+. This movie raised the bar of how movies should be made.

The Lucky One

The Lucky one stars Zac Efron. The story is about a marine who finds hope through a picture of a woman he finds in Afghanistan. He finds it sitting on the ground when he goes to pick it up, all the soldiers behind him are killed by a bomb. Because of this picture, he is alive today. When he is back him home in Colorado, he tracks down the woman in the picture. He wants to say thanks to her. When he meets her though he can't find the words to tell and instead is employed by her. The Lucky One is a romantic movie that shows things happen for a reason. The Lucky One is a great date movie. If your a guy wondering what do this weekend with your girlfriend, take her to The Lucky One. It is a classic chick flick. To be honest though, the acting is very cheesy. It is hard to take Zac Efron seriously as a hardcore marine. It just doesn't suit him very well. I give the movie a B- rating for these reasons.

Happy Gilmore

Happy Gilmore is one of the first movies that the actor Adam Sandler starred in. It is about a hockey player, named Happy Gilmore, who is actually not very good at hockey. He wants to be in the National Hockey League, but can not even make it into the amateur league of hockey. He is pretty content in life until his grandmother's house is taken away from the IRS. His grandparents built that house and unless Happy can raise over $300,000 in a couple months, his grandmother will lose her house forever. Happy one day makes a bet that he can hit a golf ball further than another guy. This is the first time Happy has ever picked up a golf club, when he hits the ball it goes about 400 yards. No one can beleive it. Happy finds out that he can hit the ball further than pretty much anyone else on the planet. Happy decides to join the pro tour golf tournament and see if he can win enough money to save his grandmothers house. The only thing is if he can control his temper enough to stay on the tour. Happy Gilmore is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It is a movie you will quote over and over. The movie came out in the early 1990's and I still hear people quote Happy Gilmore all the time! I rated the movie with a B. The movie lacks good acting and a solid story, but makes it up with solid comedy. This is probably my favorite Adam Sandler movie, And if upon haven't seen it already, you are crazy!

Shawshank Redemption

Shawshank Redemption is a story about about a man who is accused of killing his wife and given a life sentence in jail. Unfortuanately, he was falsely accused. He didn't kill his wife. He loved her but was sidetracked with his job and didn't pay enough attention to her. She cheated on him, and he found out. Because of this the court assumes he must have been the one to kill her. The story is about ow he deals with this burden of being falsely imprisoned. In his first year he doesn't even open his mouth. He is so shocked that this situation has happened to him. He went from a successful banker to a man locked up without hopes and dreams. In the jail he meets a man who becomes his best friend. The two have many life provoking conversations. Shawshank Redemption is an incredible movie. The end has a huge twist that made me almost cry. I rated this movie with an A. The only thing it lacks is action. I don't follow the Oscar award ceremonies but I wouldn't be surprised if Shawshank Redemption won The Best Picture Award from the Oscars. It is one of the movies that you have to show to everyone you know. It will move your soul and can change your outlook on life. Please go see Shawshank Redemption because I promise you will not regret making this choice!

21 Jump Street

I saw 21 Jump Street last Monday at the dollar theatre. 21 Jump Street is about 2 cops who are new to the force. One was cool in high school but is dumber than rocks. The other cop was a nerd in high school but smart as Einstein on paper. The two are teamed together in this funny comedy. Unfortunately they don't have the most street smarts and they start their careers failing to capture the bad guys. From failing horribly on their first assignment, they are reassigned to a new assignment. They are instructed to go back to high school as undercover cops to unfold a drug seen. This movie is absolutely hilarious. It definitely gets an A from me. I loved this movie because I can relate to their high school experiences. I had flashbacks about my high school experiences that made this move so funny to me. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are lovable duo. They complement each other nicely as a typical jock and high school nerd. The movie is very crude though, so I recommend only people 17 and older watch this movie. It is for mature audiences only. For people who don't want to stop laughing, 21 jump street is definitely for you!! From car chases to high school drama, this movie gets An A + in e cool department!
