Warrior

A few days ago I saw the movie Warrior! I used an exclamation point on the first sentence because I am very excited to speak about Warrior! Warrior is about 2 brothers who grew fighting in Mixed Martial Arts. Both have been gone from the sport for sometime, but when desperation for money occurs, they come back to MMA fighting. The brothers enter into a tournement where the winner receives 5 million dollars! One of the brothers needs money quick or else he will lose his house. The other brother served in Iraq with the Army. While in Iraq, his fellow soldier and best friend is killed in battle. The death of his friend leaves his friend's wife without any income. The brother decides to enter in the MMA tournament, and if he wins, donate all the money to the wife. As you can imagine, this contest is very important to the two brothers, and everyone else in the competition. The movie is full of life lessons as the brothers learn what is most important to them. I loved this movie because it demonstrates, to the highest degree, people doing everything can to reach their goals. Warrior shows how dedication and a motivation can help you reach your potential. I loved Warrior! It is my favorite movie that I have blogged about so far!

The Four Feathers (2002)

The Four feathers is a tremendous movie. I saw it last night with a couple friends. Im a big fan of Heath Ledger, and he didn't disappoint in The Four Feathers. The movie is about a British soldier who resigns the day after he is told his regiment is going to war. As a result he is given four feathers, which are a symbolism of cowardness. The movie is an inspiring tell, as Heath Ledger's character exerts his will to redeem himself from his cowardly act.



My favorite part about the movie is the acts of heroism demonstrated. I won't ruin any of the movie for you, by giving you specifics, but you will leave The Four Feathers feeling uplifted. Please go rent, borrow, or download this movie. Heath Ledger, Wes Bently, and Kate Hudson all do a great job of portraying their characters. Maybe it just me, but watching someone fight for the right reasons is awesome. Im sad that Heath Ledger has passed away because millions of people will miss his brilliant acting. I highly recommend The Four Feathers to everyone!! The Four Feathers is the type of movie that everyone will love. Watch it with your friends and family because you will not regret it!!

Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol

A week ago I watched, the newly released, Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol. This is the 4th Mission Impossible movie to come out. The story is intriguing, but as a whole I was completely unimpressed with this installment in the Mission Impossible series. I felt like the actions scenes could have been a little more realistic. I am a huge fan of action, but it seemed like the director of Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol was trying too hard. I kept having thoughts in my head saying, "this could never happen." Action was the main reason I went to see Ghost Protocol, but I have to rate the action with a C +. Overall, I rate this movie with a C-. Hopefully this will be the last Mission Impossible movie that we will have to endure.
         
       I was, however, a big fan of the first Mission Impossible that came out. It was very original, and the story made my heart jump with excitement. I feel this new installment though, was only intended to make Paramount Pictures loads of money. Tom Cruise is far to old to still be doing these kinds of movies. I have vented enough now, where you all understand how I feel about Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and I will talk to all later in my next review:)

Act of Valor

Act of Valor is a movie that came out a month or 2 ago. I saw it in the dollar theatre last night. Going into the movie I had not heard anything about Act Of Valor. The only reason I was going was because my friend Cole had been dying to see it. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed Act of Valor. The movie displays a group of soldiers that work together to stop terrorism. Any American who watches the movie will leave feeling full of patriotism. I was so uplifted that part of me wanted to go sign up for the army! The heroism of the characters are incredible! My emotions were at an all time high with the struggles of the soldiers and my inner desire to seem the accomplish there mission. I reccemmend Act of Valor and Label it as a must see!!

This Means War

I loved the Movie This Means War. It is the perfect movie if you are looking to go out on a date. Humor is at an all time high as 2 best friends find out they are both dating the same girl. What makes it more interesting is that the best friend's are also undercover agents who work for the government. The movie is great because you can relate to it so easy if you ever had the same crush as someone else. The movie is full of action scenes that keep you hooked to the movie. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was some of the dirty humor. I felt like some of it wasn't necessary but overall it was still a great movie! Men if you want to take your girl friend our on a date, This Means War is phemonal and exciting choice that I would reccemmend!!
