Hereafter [2010]

Genre: Drama, Fantasy


About:
A drama centered on three people -- a blue-collar American, a French journalist and a London school boy -- who are touched by death in different ways.


Well, movie is OK. The movie doesn't have much of a "point", other than how death is such an important part of all of our lives, even as it's also probably the most mysterious. Actually, nothing is really happening in the movie. 



Director: 

Clint Eastwood

Writer: 

Peter Morgan

Stars:

 Matt Damon (George Lonegan) , Cécile De France (Marie Lelay), Bryce Dallas Howard (Melanie), Frankie McLaren (Marcus / Jason), George McLaren (Marcus / Jason)

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Really, I'm impressed. But before you watch this movie, you have to know something about wars on Balkan, otherwise, it won't appeal to you in that way it appealed to me.

Free Style [2008]

It's Time To Soar.


Genre: Drama


About:
Cale, is determined to win a coveted spot on the Grand National racing team without compromising his devotion to his friends and family


First, Corbin is really good actor. Second, movie is great. But, as someone already said, Why call the Movie "Free style" when it's about Motocross? But, anyways, movie is encouraging. I love how Cale had to fight for what he have. I'm willing to forgive moviemakers for "freestyle/motocross" thing because I learned from this movie "about having the strength and determination to see life just as it is, with all its ups and downs; having the courage to face the past and let go". 



Director: 

William Dear

Jeffrey Nicholson, Joshua Leibner

Stars:

 Corbin Bleu (Cale Bryant), Sandra Echeverría  (Alex Lopez) and Madison Pettis (Bailey Bryant)

Carla told me to watch this and I did. It's epic! Really, really, really great movie. I freakin' love it. If you didn't, you HAVE TO watch it. Everything in it is great. Natalie Portman, other actors, dance, dancers, music (backround) - everything.
You see, I always thought of ballet like elegant dance and I liked it, but I never could dance. I love watching it and this is one great movie to enjoy in.


Stars: Natalie Portman (Nina Sayers), Mila Kunis (Lily), Vincet Cassel (Thomas Leroy)

What Just Happened; Josie and the Pussycats

What Just Happened [2008]

If it happened in any other movie you wouldn't believe it! 


Genre: Comedy, Drama


Storyline:
Two weeks in the life of a fading Hollywood producer who's having a rough time trying to get his new picture made.


I really don't know why this movie's rating is 5.9. It's fucking shit to me. It's boring and pointless. De Niro is usually good, but this is not his movie. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time on this...
And yeah, Kristen Stewart is in it. Yes, another movie. Haha. 


Stars:
Robert De Niro (Ben), John Turturro (Dick Bell) and Stanley Tucci (Scott Solomon)

Genre:Comedy, Music

Storyline:

A girl group find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy to deliver subliminal messages through popular music in this send up of the music industry and pop culture.


This movie was so enjoyable. Really superb music, talented actors. I don't know why is it's rating lower then What Just Happened. This is funny, relaxing.
Humorous at certain points and worth watching if your a teenage girl, or especially if you like all the conspiracy theory stuff =)


Stars:
Rachael Leigh Cook (Josie McCoy), Tara Reid (Melody Valentine) and Rosario Dawson (Valerie Brown)
