Band of Brothers

I do believe this was originally a HBO TV series. Its a 10 part mini-series following E company soldiers from the start of their parachute training to the end WWII.

Rockers

This is my favorite movie, it originally was to be a documentry but turned into a movie. It was filmed in 1978 in Jamaica. Its about the reggae culture when it was at its peak. A few of the reggae artists from that time played themselves in this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvLuuHhWDWc

The Lincoln Lawyer


I thought this was a good movie. This is the second time I've seen Matthew McConaughey plays a lawyer and I have to say he does a good job. I liked this movie, because of all the twist in the story.

Wall-E



It is a 2008 American computer-animated film produced by Pixar and directed by Andrew Stanton. The hero of this movie named WALL-E, who is a robot designed for collecting waste in the earth. WALL-E feels lonely, since he only gets waste as his accompany. One day, he met another robot named EVE who came from outer space. WALL-E fell in love with her and pursued her to outer space. In fact, EVE is a robot who looks for good environmental place to live in for humanbeings. Many years ago, human damaged the environment of the earth, then they had to give up their home and floated in the galaxy. This is a romantic movie, and the theme of protecting environment gives us a warning.

The Pursuit of Happyness

当幸福来敲门

First, let's pay attention to the name of this movie. We can find there is a wrong word. In fact, the director does it with meaning. Using y, not i, means pursuing yourself happiness.

The movie narrates a story of an ordinary people who pursues happiness. The hero is too poor to afford the rent and daily expenditure. So his wife left him. Once he lived in the washroom with his lovely son. But he didn't give up. He works very hard, and studies by the torch. finally he got a decent job in stock market. I love this movie very much, because it indicates everyone has the right and ability to pursue your own happiness.

My name is khan



The movie talks about a muslim, Khan who strives for meeting with American president, and just wanna say "I am not a terrorist". Khan's persistence, goodness inspared me. It is a profound and touching movie.

My all time favorite DISNEY movie has to be The Lion King. Im sure I watched it 200 times when I was younger and memorized all the lines! The best thing about disney movies is they are timeless. I get to watch them with my niece and nephews and see them enjoy the movie just as much as I used to as a kid!!

Al Pachino is defiantly one of my all time favorite actors, I would have to say I absolutely loved him in Scent of a Woman. Playing the roll as a blind man cannot be easy, he just made it look so real!!!

In Her Shoes

I loved this movie. The main point of this movie that I got from this was that at times in your life, you should put yourself in someone elses shoes before you judge. The acting was fairly good, and the story line was great. What do you guys think about this movie???

Inception

Inception was a different kind of movie. The story line was one that you had to pay attention to every little detail to understand the full meaning of the movie. If you understood the story line, it was an amazing movie. Although some people thought it was very long and complex. It is one of my personal favorites. Its about your dreams, and dreaming within your dreams. After this movie it was as though I had a different perpective on dreams and how they work. I became very interested, as this is a very interesting topic. Great Movie.

The Fighter

This particular movie was one of the best movies I have seen in a while. It is an inspiring movie, that shows you that your dreams can always be presude. With hard work and determination your able to follow your dreams. You should do it for yourself, instead of the people around you. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

I think some of the best movies come out during christmas time. My favorite movie of 2010 was The Black Swan. If you didn't see it I defiantly recommend it! Great acting and kind of weird story line that kept you on the edge wanting to see more. Natalie Portman really deserved that Oscar! Anyone agree? disagree?
