Yesterday I was able to go to the movies for the first time in 9 months. I went to see the movie Avatar. I was blown away by the 3D animation. This gave me an idea for a topic for this weeks blog.
This week your topic is to write a movie review for the class. The rules are as follows:
1: Recommended for children your age.
2: You must be able to legally watch the movie at a theatre (age restrictions apply).
3: Each movie can only be reviewed once -so make sure you are in first.
Include in your review a discussion about:
-the story (plot)
-the characters
-the setting/ or special effects
-Why you recommend this movie
Avatar 3D
ReplyDeleteI went to this movie on the weekend and I was very impressed.
The movie is set on an alien planet. Humans are trying to mine a very valuable resource 'unobtainium' but are meeting resistance from the local inhabitants. In order to learn more about the alien race and help improve relations between them and the humans, scientists create avatars -an alien body that can be driven remotely by a human.
The movie is about a paraplegic solider -Jake Scully, who takes a job on another planet as an Avatar driver. An His job is to infiltrate the alien community and get them to move their camp so that the 'unobtainium' can be mined.
The special effects are fantastic. The 3D effect is quite superb and does not intrude on the story. It enhances the story rather than is the main focus.
The characters are interesting, but always remain a little flat. Even thought the relationship between Jake and the alien princess develops and is believable there is something missing in character development.
The only disappointing thing for me about the movie is that there is a little bit of swearing. Because the movie is aimed at children I find the swearing unnecessary and it in no way adds to the movie.
This movie should be watched with your parents but is highly enjoyable and has a wonderful storyline. The 3D effect is magical and brings the movie to life -literally.
The Karate kid
ReplyDeleteDre Parker a 12 year old boy moves from Detroit to China with his mum when she finds a new job. Dre finds it hard to fit in at his new school and finds himself be bullied by classmate mei ying. dre ends up being beaten badly by Mei Ying While being watched by Mr Han ( apartment maintenance man.) Mr Han steps in to help break up the fight. Mr Han master of kung fu decides to teach dre in martial arts so he can rebuild his confedience and face off school bullying.
Jaden Smith who plays Dre Parker is perfect for this role and we once again see Jackie Chan showing off his great karate skills.
There is also many special shots of China ie the Great walll of China and the gorbidden city, it gives you the feeling of almost being there.
I recommend this movie because there is plenty of action through out the movie, in particular some great karate moves along with a story line that keeps you hooked until the end

Twilight :)
ReplyDeleteA 17 year old girl named Bella moves up to forks to live with her dad for a while.
At her new school she finds this guy called Edward. Edward stalks her everywhere she goes, he cant leave her she is like a drug to him.
Bella's Dads friends son is soon to be a werewolf and no's everything about edward his name is jacob, jacob tells bella everything about Edward and that he is a vampire. Bella wasn't scared and tells Edward that she no's what he is. They soon become really good friends and he teaches her a bit more about his kind. He takes bella with him to play base ball but another group of vampires come one of them is called James, James try's to kill bella and just about succeed when Edward comes and saves the day. :P
Bella (the main character), Edward (the vampire who is in love with bella) Charlie (Bella's Dad), Jacob ( Bella's Friend that is soon to be a werewolf)
James (bella's enemy, he try's to kill her)
I recommend this movie because there is action and some romance, a bit of everything and a great family movie.

Dre Parker is 12 years old and his mum and himself move to china because she had a great chance for a new job. At Dre's new school he dosnt fit in cas his class mates bully him but there is one person who bullies him, his name is Mei Ying. Dre had tried to fight Mie but he was to strong because he was a master in kung fu.
ReplyDeleteEvery one in china knows how to do kung fu but Dre can hardly even defend him self.
Mr Hang was the maintenance man for the appartment they were staying in. Mr hang also is a master in kung fu, he helpes break up a fight between Dre Mie and his frriends. Dre begs Mr han to teach him kung fu and he agrees, mr Han Rebuilds his confidence and enters him in a kung fu event, he gets badly Hurt but carries on and ends up to winning!
Jayden Smith who is Will Smiths Son plays Dre Parker who is perfect for this part, And Jacky Chan who is a great choice for this role showing off all his moves!
Most of the Main attractions of china were shown in this movie with alot of amazing skill!
I recomend this movie to all people beccause it has a great range of action with a little touch of romance but only a tiny bit as i have said it is Soooo skilled!!!
Woops by the way mine is on the Karate Kid!
ReplyDeleteLord of the rings.
ReplyDeletethe movies are set on a science fiction world in the midle ages. 9 rings were created with magical powers but an evil man made a 10th ring that controlled all the other rings. this man dies in a war. and when the ring could have been a king keeps it. years later when no one cared about the ring the evil person is back. frodo is sent on a journy to destroy the ring while the evil persons army attacks castles in another attempt to take over the world.

They are all differnt heights and sizes, yet the pair of old blue jeans fits everyone of them perfectly and makes them look great.

*Lena goes to visit her grand parents in Greece.
*Carmen visits her dad (Her parents are divorced).
*Bridget goes to soccer camp in Mexico.
*Tibby has a holiday job at Wallmans and is making a documentry.
All four girls have known each other since they were born, because there mothers were in the same pregnancy aeorbics class.
The movie covers everything from, love and friendship, to, loss, cancer, family feuds, death and drama.
I reccomend it girls of all ages. And boys aswell. I found the movie quite heart warming, and really enjoyed watching it.
Boy :)
ReplyDeleteIs about a boy called Boy. He has a brother called rockey and a grandma. Rockey thinks he has super powers after his mum died giving birth to him. boy also has a pet goat.
Boy doesn't know his dad but he imagined him as diver and other things that he isnt. His dad is actually a robber and is serving his time behind bars. Boys dad eventually gets out of prison and comes home to look for money that he stole years ago and buried it in a paddock beside Boys house. Boy and his dad grow a better bond between each other but soon fall apart. Then boy finds the money and hides it beside where the goat lives and the goat found the money and ate it!
I recommend this movie for everyone and I think its really funny movie. Its special because it was made in NZ

i recomend this movie for boys and girls but mostly adults,its rated m i think because its got a bit of kissing,is got a cool story line and i think some adults and maybe some kid would enjoy it.
Madagascar escape to africa.
ReplyDeleteThe sequel to 2005's "Madagascar", in which New York Zoo animals, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo, still stranded on Madagascar, start to leave the island. All of a sudden, they land in the wilderness of Africa, where Alex meets the rest of his family, but has trouble communicating with them after spending so much time at the Central Park Zoo. They finally see animals that are the same as them but just as they start fitting in they start to think-is the african plains really better than the central park zoo?
MAIN CHARACTERS=
Alex=lion Marty=zebra Melman=giraffe Gloria=hippo King Julious=funny lemur thingy
I think that the setting and the way it flows is good and also the graphics/pictures are really well done and good to watch.
I recommend this movie because I think this is a good movie because it is funny and anyone can watch it.

The Longest Yard!
ReplyDeletePaul Crewe A great football (Rugby) player who had been playing football for ages and was really good and was in the best team but he wasn't aloud to play in that team ever because he shaved points off a big national game. Paul goes to jail for over drinking and stealing a car when he gets there he is the only "White" person and the rest are big buff black people that play basketball. The guards of the prison bully the inmates and over power them and hurt them whenever they get the chance. The guards have a big football team playing in the nationals, so the warden of the prison asks Paul to get together a football team, and the guys in the prison dont know much about football so they have to work really hard and practice heaps ( They end up winning the game )
The Main Characters:
Paul Crewe ( Adam Sandler )
Caretaker (Chris Rock)
Earl Megget ( Nelly... Rapper )
This movie does have quite alot of swearing but it helps built the characters into people you feel like you know. I dont think its really bad to swear ion my opinion... I cant give a reason thats just what i think...
I recommend an love this movie... Because its different and i cant think of any other movie that is like this one. Its one of the great movies that i have watched that actually have a moral and a meaning to it, it was fun to watch and its my favorite movie! :P
It also had alot of great music in it from Nelly and Eminem that was great!

UP
ReplyDeleteA young Carl Fredricksen meets a young girl who loved to go on adventures (her name is Ellie.)After a few years they got married and they promise each other that they would travel together to Paradise Falls and build a house there. Many years later Ellie dies and Carl remembers the promise they had made each other. Carl who is lonely refuses to move from their house despite the offers from a owner of a construction company. Carl is soon forced to move to a retirement village. In stead of leaving for the retirement village he uses many balloons to float his house in order to travel to Paradise Falls.
There are quite a few characters including a lot of talking dogs! Most of the characters are really exciting and adventurous. The main characters are Carl Fredricksen and a young boy named Russell.
This movie is really for younger viewers but I couldn’t think of anything else.

Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
ReplyDeleteSonora is a stubborn orphan who lives with her aunt during the Depression. She has a love of horses, and one day before school, loses a bet that her horse can jump a fence. The fence breaks and the cows get out, forcing Sonora to be late for school. After Sonora is given detention, her aunt tells her that because of her behavior and the family's financial difficulties, Sonora is going to be put into an orphanage. Instead, she slips out of the house during the night.
Sonora ends up at a county fair and sees Marie perform as a Diving Girl. A Diving Girl jumps onto a horse as it runs up a steep platform just before it leaps off, into a pool of water. Sonora then informs Doc Carver that she is his new Diving Girl. He informs her that she is too young and her body isn't developed enough -- and tells her she should go back home. She stubbornly twists her arms and legs around a chair to show him she won't leave until he gives her the job. Instead, he just places her and the chair outside of his tent.
Ending up in the stable with the horses, Doc Carver sees how talented Sonora is with them and decides to give her a job as a stable-hand. Sonora then begins traveling with them, bonding with Al and even Doc Carver. Al wins a wild horse in a game of cards, and Dr Carver says that if Sonora can tame the horse, he will train her to be a Diving Girl. She surprises him one day riding up on the horse, and he keeps his promise, much to the chagrin of Marie. Sonora and the wild horse ("Lightning") develop a special bond which proves important later in the film.
One day, Marie falls and dislocates her shoulder, leaving her unable to perform. Thus, Sonora becomes the Diving Girl, even though the swimsuits don't fit her.
And then all this other stuff happens but you'll have to watch the movie to find out.
Characters:
Sonora Webster
Al Carver
Marie
Dr Carver
Very interesting movie. I recommend it to anyone.

ReplyDeleteTransformers
ReplyDeleteThe battle for the allspark has brought the Autobots and the Decepticons to Earth. The Autobots came to Earth to protect the allspark and to stop the Decepticons from gaining the power of the allspark. Hundreds of years before the Autobots came the Decepticon leader Megatron crashlanded in the Artic. There he was found by a group of explorers in the late 1800s. Megatron frozen and unable to move burned a map to the allspark in his glasses hoping other decepticons would find the glasses. Decades later the glasses were given to Sam Witwicky the explorers great grand son. The Autobot Bumblebee protects Sam from the forces of the Decepticons. Sadly Sector Seven a top secrect organisation kidnaps bumblebee and takes him to a top secret base also where they are keeping Megatron and the allspark. The rest of the Autobots and Decepticons arrive. The battle for the allspark now begins.
My rating 9/10
