Review: Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite classical movies. It is an older movie so the quality isn't the best. It has a very mysterious and creative story. You never know what more trouble Alice will get herself into next. It kept me entertained the whole time. Although, it was predictable that it would have a happy ending. This is a great movie to watch with the whole family.

 

Rate: I give the classic, Alice in Wonderland 7 stars out of 10

The Hunger Games

Summary: This movie takes place in the future of Panem. The nation is divided into 12 districts. Each year 2 young representatives from each district are randomly selected to participate in The Hunger Games. The games are shown across the nation as entertainment. The 24 teenagers participating must eliminate each other by killing one other in the wilderness until there is only one person left. This year its the seventy-fourth game and Katniss younger sister, Prim, is selected, but Katniss volunteers to take her place. She leaves behind her family and friends. In the games she realized she's competing against bigger representatives who have been training their whole lives. In order to survive the game Katniss must put all her skills to the test.

 

 

Review: The Hunger Games is a very exciting movie filled with thrill. Jennifer Lawrence plays a very impressive role as Katniss.It reminded me of something in the future. I am a teen so I can relate how I would feel going into the games. I don't think I would survive. This movie wasn't just about killing each other, but also Katniss relationships with every one. I enjoyed watching her make friends and enemies. The game felt very magical and real. The violence made it feel very real and I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.

 

Rate: I would give the Hunger games a 9 out of 10 stars. I really enjoyed this film.

Twilight

Summary: In the fantasy film Twilight, Bella Swan a young teenager moves in with her dad. She starts a new school and life. Bella lived an ordinary life until one day it all changed. She meets Edward Cullen, and finds out his secret. Hes a vampire. He isn't the kind of vampire who wants to suck every ones blood. His family and himself are much different. They quickly fall in love and face challenges between there "impossible love". Soon Bella is threatened by other blood thirsty vampires. Will Edward be able to save Bella from them? Will the disapproval from their friends and family separate them?

Review: If you love anything to do with vampires then you'll love the Twilight saga. Out of all the Twilight movies this one, which is the first one is my favorite. I like this one the most because it shows Bella and Edward when they first fall in love. Robert Pattinson and Emma Stewart played their parts together very well. I think the special affects on the vampires and the wolves look very realistic. The only thing about this movie I didn't like was the fight scenes. They lacked intensity and when they flew up and down it looked very fake. Otherwise this was a great movie with a fantastic story line.

Rate: I would give Twilight a 8.5 out of 10 and I would definitely recommend it for the whole family.

Harry Potter

Harry Potter is my favorite movie series. The movies are all based on the books by J.K. Rowling. My favorite movie out of all eight of them is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Summary: In this movie its Harry's third year at Hogwarts. He starts having trouble at home and runs away only to find out he's in more trouble than he thought. Serial killer Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban and believed to be coming after Harry. The castle is far from safe so Dementor's are sent to guard it, but are they really helping or hurting Harry more? In this year Harry will learn things about his past that will help him in the future. Harry soon starts looking for Black in order to get revenge. Who will find who first?

Review: If you liked the first and second movie you'll love this one too! I enjoyed this one the most because there is new locations, characters, creatures, and conflicts. As the movie goes on it just gets better and better. The effects are amazing. The Dementors and the creatures all came to life and looked so real. During the Quidditch match there's a thunder storm and it felt almost as if I was there watching Harry fly through the clouds and rain.

Rate: I would give this Harry Potter movie a 10 out of 10 stars. I loved it!
