A League of Their Own (1992)
A League of Their Own Review
This movie is about the first girl baseball league opens up. The women there work very hard in order to win all the baseball games they participate in. They do so well they make it to the final rounds but they don't win in the final rounds but they came close. I like the plot, characters, and humor. I'm not a big fan of the dialogue though. Overall, it was a good movie and it would be great to see others like it.
Race (2016)
Race Review
This movie had some great scenes. I liked the scene where Jesse Owens begins training for the Olympics. The plot is that Jesse Owens starts college and gets good enough at running to the point where he qualifies for the Olympics. He is pressured greatly to win in order to prove America is better than the Nazis. During this point in time, Hitler has just recently taken power in Germany and become the dictator. He has started taking away rights of the Jews. My favorite scene is where Jesse sees all the gold medals he earned. I thought the movie was great and it'd be nice to see others like it.
Cinderella Man (2005)
Cinderella Man Review
I am writing a review on this for my U.S History Through Film class. The plot of the movie is that the Great Depression takes place and James J. Braddock needs money and his boxing career starts declining. He works on the docs for a little while and then he starts making a big come back in his boxing career. Until eventually, he faces the world champion and there's an epic battle over the world champion title. I loved the action, plot, and flow of the story. However, sometimes during boxing scenes, it became extremely difficult to hear what the people in the film were saying. Overall, this film was very good and it would be amazing to see others like it.
Wonder Woman (2017)
Wonder Woman Review
I am reviewing this film for my U.S. History Through Film class. I thought this movie was overall pretty good. I mainly liked the fighting and the main plot. Speaking of fighting, Wonder Woman had this to say about it "I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves". I didn't much like the dialogue between characters though. The main plot of the movie is that this plane lands in Wonder Woman's world and this guy ion the plane tells them about the war (World War 1). The people suspect Eres is behind it so Wonder Woman goes to stop the war. Overall, I was fine with the movie and it would be okay to see others like it.
Iron Jawed Angels (2004)
Iron-Jawed Angel
I am writing a review of this movie for my U.S. History Through Film class. The plot of the movie is that women are trying to earn the right to vote. To accomplish this, they go through a series of intense struggles all so they can get a constitutional amendment to give women the right to vote. They tried to get attention on this by having rallies and going to the white house and holding up banners of questions regarding women's suffrage to the president. I liked everything about this movie and can't find anything I dislike about it. I would love to see others like it.
Newsies (1992)
Newsies Review
I am doing a review on this movie for my U.S History Through Film class. The plot is that there's this newspaper company that starts to loose money so they start charging more money for newspapers. As a result, these kids working for the company decide to go on strike. I liked the plot, characters, and the background music. I didn't like all the singing and dancing they did all the time though. Overall, this movie was really good and it'd be great to see others like it.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid review
I'm writing this review for my U.S. History through Film class. The plot of the movie is there's these two robbers who rob this really rich bank and as a result they get chased down from place to place. Eventually, they go to Bolivia and rob a few banks and then someone notices them and gets the police to try to get them and the story ends on a cliffhanger. I like the action, plot, and adventure in the movie. However, sometimes the loud sounds in the movie kept me from hearing what the characters were saying so I didn't really like that. Overall, this movie was pretty good and it would be nice to see others like it.
Far and Away (1992)
Far and Away Review
I watched and am now reviewing this movie for my U.S. History through Film class. The plot of the movie dis that there's this guy Joseph and this gal named Shannon. Shannon becomes bored and irritated with her life in Ireland and she eventually finds out about America and wants to travel there. Along the way, she meets Joseph and tells him he can go with her. However, once they arrived in America, they struggled to find land and money. I like the fact that this film was about adventure and I also liked its dialogue and plot. I didn't like Shannon's voice too much though. Overall, this film was pretty good and it'd b nice to see more films like this.
The Alamo (2004)
Alamo Review
I am writing this review for my U.S. History through film class. The plot is that the Americans and the Mexicans are fighting for the land of Texas. I only watched half of this movie so this review might not be entirely accurate. But I liked the war and setting as well as the dialogue when it was used well. When it wasn't used well, I didn't really like the dialogue. So this movie is alright but it could be better so I'd like to see others like but a little better.
In the Heart of the Sea (2015)
In The Heart of The Sea Review
I'm doing a review on In The Heart of the Sea. I'm doing this review for my U.S. History Through Film class. The movie is about this guy Thomas who tells a friends and his wife the story of a time he went to sail and his ship got destroyed by a whale. He also tells about how he survived and what he and the rest of his crew did afterwards. This movie has really good characters, story, and plot. But sometimes, the people were too quiet to understand so that's one thing I didn't like about this movie. Overall I really liked this movie and it would be nice to see others like it.
The Crossing (2000)
The Crossing Review
I just recently watch The Crossing. I'm watching this movie for my U.S. History through film class. The plot is actually kind of simple but good. It's the first winter of the revolutionary war. The American colonist army is low on men and they're not doing so hot. General Washington decides to attack on Christmas to gain an advantage over the British. Then they go ahead and do so. I noticed that the cities and such resemble that of the late 1700's and so it should the movie does good with that. There was nothing about its historical accuracy that I question. I liked the plot, characters, and dialouge. There wasn't really anything I didn't like about the film. It was a really good movie overall and it would be nice to see others like it.
Johnny Tremain (1957)
Johny Tremain Review
I am doing a review for the movie known as Johnny Tremain. I'm reviewing this movie for my U.S. History through film class. The plot of the story is that this guy Johnny burns his hand and can't do his usual job because of it. S he needs to find new work. However, not many will hire him because of his hand being burned. So he turns to this rich relative of his who ends up getting him involved with the revolutionary war. I noticed that there's only horses and guns and such in this movie because of its time period. I also noticed it takes place right before the revolutionary war. So there's still British soldiers that order people around and some listen while others disobey their orders. Also, there's a couple of big events of the war put in like the Boston Tea Party. I question whether Johnny actually burned his hand or not. I also question whether he actually had some distant relative that he turned to for employment. It's a history movie just like The New World was supposed to be. But it's much better because it actually has plot and I can understand what's going on. Whereas The New World was just too artsy to really be a history movie. I liked that it had an actual plot. I also like how there's actual dialouge among the characters. But the best part is it was actually able to entertain me which is more than I can say for The New World. I didn't like how short it was the movie didn't last long enough. It would've been nice if it showed the rest of the war and how it impacted Johnny afterward. Overall, the movie was pretty good. There's decent characters, a good plot, and represents its time period pretty well. It was an interesting movie and it would be nice to see others like it.
The New World (2005)
The New World review
I watched this movie for my U.S History Through Film class. Now I´m reviewing for the same reason. The film was about this guy John Smith who traveled with some crew into the new world to establish a new colony. During the film he meets this girl named Pocahantus. They hang out for a couple years then John Smith leaves. Then it just shows the life of Pocahantus afterwards. I question Pocahantus being 14 in the film. I question her ever seeing John Smith after he took off. I also question the Indians being so accepting of John Smith when he came to the new world for the first time. There are no connections to any other movies I´ve seen. I like the scenery as well as the people when they actually talked. I like the time period the film takes place in. I also like to see Pocahantus develop as a person. I didn´t like how the characters rarely talked it made the film boring. In conclusion, I can see what this movie was going for but it didn´t work. It ended up being too boring. they didn´t do enough with what they had to work with. They mostly just showed off the scenery and had the characters just mumble a lot. But when they did actually communicate and got the story moving along it was good. So there you have it my review for The New World
Le voyage dans la lune (1902)
great for its time
I watched this movie as for my history through film class. I´m learning how to make a review. The plot is a bunch of people went to the moon and developed their own civilization there. The people there were like the ones on Earth. They had fights and cities and such. The only difference being it´s on the moon instead of the Earth. I liked the plot of this movie. I also liked that it actually had sound. I also liked it being black and white. I did not like all the random events though.
I thought the movie overall was a great one for its time period. It was interesting seeing them go on the moon at the beginning but then it got duller from there. But for its time I say it was incredible. It would be cool to see the concept of living on the moon used again nowadays and see how that would pan out. So overall good for its time but not anything special nowadays.
