Pearl Harbor (2001)
Pretty good, but what's up with the love triangle?
After I first watched this movie, I loved it. However, I realized later that this film isn't very good. Here you have a movie about historical Pearl Harbor, however 3/4 of it is about a silly little love triangle. You're starting to get off track from the story. I think it was good to have a love story in there about waiting for her soldier to come back to her. When they added his friend in there it became about really stupid fights and to top it all off they added in the predicament of the girl being pregnant. This movie is entitled Pearl Harbor, so why don't you make it more about Pearl Harbor. Also, I don't know all the history about Pearl Harbor and the Dolittle Raid, but I've heard from some that a few parts of the history are way off. Perhaps they tried not to make it like Tora Tora Tora, but the love story that they had was a bad idea. But I will say that the special effects were awesome! If you have the 2-disk DVD, you should watch the special features because it's very interesting. Even though I hate the love story, it's actually not a bad movie. So I give it 7 stars
The Lake House (2006)
Wow!
Kate Forster (Sandra Bullock) and Alex Wyler (Keanu Reeves) discover that there could be no one better for them than each other. Sounds beautiful, right? Except for the fact that they're two years apart from one other and can only communicate through letters at the lake house Alex's father (Christopher Plummer) had built in Chicago. Love works its magic on Kate and Alex to make sure they are together somehow, someway.
The Lake House was the most charming, magnificent romantic movie I had ever seen. It swept me away and from beginning to end I was holding my breath. I laughed, I cried, and almost screamed a couple of times. The movie wasn't bogged down with sex and crudeness; which is all you ever see today in a romance movie and it was wonderful without it. I recommend this movie to anyone, even young audiences. It will confuse the heck out of you, though. However,love doesn't always make sense does it? This movie also proves that love will find a way.
Two of a Kind (1983)
A Great Movie
This movie was really cute and romantic, but I didn't like how they made it that if the two characters didn't fall in love that it would be the end of the world, God would not leave that up to them. However, the angels getting them together was a good point, I liked that part. The romance in this movie is phenomenal. The sparks between Olivia Newton John and John Travolta are sensational, I like that combination. *Sighs* John Travolta. Plus they're both talented actors, but to my disappointment there was no hand jive in this movie (haha.), but there was this romantic dancing scene. The movie was very witty and beautiful. So it gets seven stars.
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Wonderful
I was very excited when I heard that The Phantom of the Opera was being made into a movie, but kind of nervous because the fear that they might screw it up. However, I found that I loved almost everything about this movie. The singing, the acting, and the effects were superb, but above all that was the music. The music is probably the number one reason for even seeing and the fact that it's played by a 110 piece orchestra makes it even more fantastic.
The Phantom of the Opera is about a mysterious musical genius recluse, a.k.a the phantom (Gerard Butler), with a distorted face living below the Paris Opera House. The phantom becomes the tutor of the young and beautiful Christine Daae (Emmy Rossum) and falls in love with her. However, the handsome Raoul (Patrick Wilson), the Vicompte de Changy and Christine's childhood sweetheart, is vying for Christine's heart. It's now a contest. Christine loves Raoul, but the Phantom's voice is so seductive. When it finally comes time for her to choose, the choice could mean death for Raoul! The phantom is a very broken man who needs to be loved, but it is so very hard because people are afraid of him. However, once people get past the distortion they'll find he has a very dark soul. So can the Phantom, Raoul, and Christine all find the love they need?
The singing was so tremendous. Gerard Butler had the most perfect voice for the Phantom for having never had very much experience he sounded stunning and his emotion was sensational! Emmy Rossum has such an adult voice and it's beautiful, she was only 16 when she started the movie, it's amazing! Patrick Wilson has a great voice as well, it's so strong and gorgeous! The whole cast was great and very talented.
Other the chandelier crash, a few lines of music, and a few scenes, the movie pretty much follows the story line of the musical. As well as suggesting to see the movie, I recommend you to see the musical. Dare you trust the Music of the Night?
Full House (1987)
Good Show But...
Full House is a great family show. However, after watching some episodes over and over again I've realized that they're incredibly boring and they seem to shelter themselves from the outside world a lot. Yes, there is a lot of comedy, but there are times when it's incredibly cheesy. It's not like I hate it, but just don't watch them over and over again because they get old quick. Probably the best season is the first.
Full House is about widower Danny Tanner(Bob Saget)and his three daughters D.J. (Candace Cameron) Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (Mary-Kate and Ashley). When Danny's wife dies the he is in need of some help. So, his best friend Joey (Dave Coulier) and the girls' Uncle Jesse (John Stamos) moves in with them. Once they live there together they find they can't live without each other.
Full House reminds you just how important family is and that you can always go home again.
