In My Opinion....
Here's just some thoughts and reviews from me on movies. I'll try and update it once in a while
with new movies, but for now, here's three movies currently in the theaters.
The Mask of Zorro
Rated: PG13
My rating: 4 stars
This was actually a pretty darn good movie. I was expecting to be totally bored and squirming
with anguish the entire time, but I haven't had as much fun watching a movie as I had watching this
in a *long* time!
Zorro's (Anthony Hopkins) old enemy is back in town, and some people need
to have their behinds kicked. Don Diego de la Vega (Zorro) gets an apprentice,
Alejandro Murieta (Antonio Banderas), a man bent on revenging the death of his brother. The new zorro and the old zorro
work together for the common cause of saving California from the evil Don Rafael Montero,
revenging some wrongful deaths, and saving the beautiful Elena...who has some pretty fancy sword fighting of her own.
This has only two half-gross scenes in it that I can think of...and nobody got nude! How amazing!
The Truman Show
Rated: PG
My rating: 5 stars
Wow this was such a cool movie! Don't be fooled into thinking it's simple because
it's only PG. It's just an amazing movie with nothing rude, crude, or gross.
Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) is the star of a TV show. A very popular TV show. A TV show that
is on air twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, every year of his
life since he was born. Only, he doesn't know it! Sure that seems a little hard to pull off,
and it was, but the result is a man who lives his perfect life with his perfect family in his perfect
world...that is completely fake. Trust me, this was a GREAT movie. (No sad ending too.)
Ever After:
A Cinderella Story
Rated: PG13
My rating: 4 1/2 stars
What a nice movie! It really could have squeezed it's way into a PG rating because there is
positively nothing rude enough in this movie that somebody even 8 years old couldn't handle. I liked
this "Cinderella" story because the Prince and "Cinderella" seemed to really love each other, not just
"Hey, you're a babe, I'm a prince, let's get married!"
Danielle has been the humble servant of her stepmother ever since her father died when she was only 8 years old. Henry
is the Prince of France who is to marry a Spanish Princess because it is his duty. They both share something in common:
The need to be free. After accidently running into each other when the Prince was in flight from the castle, it's not long
before Danielle and Henry meet again, only Danielle is pretending to be a courtier for the noble sake of rescuing one of her house servants.
Henry is intrigued by her (not recognizing her from their earlier visit) and what follows is a masquerade of pretending to be what
one is not, and dealing with what one is.
