...for its man vs. naure manliness...
...for its man vs. man insanity...
and last but not least...
...for the letter Ben Chapman wrote to my son. (Remind me to tell you the story some time.)
I really liked I Am Legend! I don't have a favorite movie, but this is one of the movies I liked! I liked it for the action and for the suspense. It made the movie more interesting to watch.
ReplyDeleteI don't exactly have a favorite movie, but i do happen to like Rush Hour Three a lot. The movie is full of action and comedy, but the fact that it isn't really scary made it better. Plus the stupidity of the movie is hilarious, but i am one of those people who like dumb, out-of-the-ordinary types of movies, which is why i happened to like the movie very much.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big movies person but I would have to say that my favorite one that I have ever seen is Country Strong. It is a very new movie and it's a drama and a love story. I love it because if the music that it has in it. It has a lot of Country music and I'm really into that. Also, it has a very interesting plot where something is always happening. I love it because it keeps your attention at all times. I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteI am usually a huge fan of comedy movies, but my favorite movie is an inspiring life story about the rapper Eminem. The movie 8 Mile tells about the harsh childhood, and struggle to success that Eminem needed to face. I have a dream, i want to become a basketball player in the NBA. This movie has not only inspired me, but shown me what you need to do to make your dreams into reality.
ReplyDeleteI love movies, especially those of the director Stanley Kubrick (my current favorite). My favorite movie of his, probably "A Clockwork Orange." He's a genius of his craft and I hope at some point you will watch all of them, I know plenty of them are streaming on netflix, you should watch one tonight!

Oh also, I'm a pretty big fan of the Mad Max series.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie would probaly be Dinner for Schmucks. I love comedy movies especially this one. What made the movie great was mostly Steve Carell, he's an amazing actor and a really funny guy. This is one of my all time favorite movies that really comes with a strong message, always stand up for your friends and they will stand up for you. I love this movie because it always makes me laugh even when i watch it time after time.
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite movie would have to be Planes Trains and Automobiles. I found it really funny that to people, one with a short temper, and the other very annoying, end up traveling together across America to get to where they belong. This movie makes me laugh and I think that everyone should watch it, and I would watch it over and over again.
ReplyDeleteGreen Hornet was a great movie! The cool Asian guy does Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch to send the Russian gangsters flying. I like how they rig the Asian people to look so cool in american movies. I watched it 2 days ago with my friends not even aware of what the plot is about. Once the movie was over, i wished for a second.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time would have to be Get him to the Greek. That movie was really funny but really inappropriate. The movie was kinda random but was still good. I like that it had Russell Brand in it. I think that he is a funny person. I also like Sean Combs aka P.Diddy in it. He is also really funny.
ReplyDeleteThe thrill of watching The Shutter Island was unimaginable. From the start of the movie and to the end I could not take my eyes off of the screen. Even after the movie was over, my heart was still beating restlessly from the twist at the end. Maybe I just love all the Leonardo Dicaprio movies.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time would be The Departed. It had a good story line and good action through out. It had a different kind of ending but I liked it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie of all time is Avatar. I really liked it because the special effects were awesome and it was cool how they were on a different planet. I also really liked inception but Avatar was definitely better.
ReplyDeleteMy most recent favorite movie is The Town. I liked it because it was a crime movie that was not as predictable as all the others. Also, Ben Affleck was one of the main characters which in my opinion, made the movie better.
ReplyDeleteThe movie Traitor by far my favorite movie because of the story line and the casting job was great. I am also a huge fan of the movie Taken as well.
ReplyDeleteFavorite movie would probably be splice. another great movie would be james Cameron's avatar
ReplyDeleteI can’t really pick a favorite because there are so many good movies to choose from but a few good movies are Letters to Juliet, Monty python and the Holy Grail and The Last Song!
ReplyDeleteOne of my top favorite movies would have to be P.S i love you. i like this movie because its a movie that could make you laugh or cry but it always keeps you entertained. i like the music and settings as well. i would watch this movie again at anytime.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is definetly James Cameron's Titanic. I'm a sucker for love stories. I've seen it over 10 times, and I cry everytime. I love Kate Winslet. The ending is the best part. I also love it because it has a deeper story behind it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie would probably be Breakfast Club because it is very funny and has very interesting characters. Even though its story line is pretty simple and basic, it has really lines and is very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite movie is probably Princess Mononoke because it has an interesting story and animation was superb. It was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, and I know it's like 12:30 at night and it technically the day that it's due, but do I still get full credit since it was done before school started?
