Taken

I saw this movie about two years ago when it was in movie theaters. I didn't really know what it was going to be about until i watched it. The main story line was that this girl, Kim, went to Paris with her friend, amanda. It was suppose to be like a vaction and they were going to stay with some of amandas family. But their plans changed when they got there. They got off the plane and they met this guy that they were going to share a cab with. But he was actually going to kidnap them, drug them, and force them to be prostitutes. Her dad was on the phone with her while she was being kidnapped. Luckily, her dad was an undercover cop, so he knew what to do. He went to paris to look for the girls. He looked for a couple days and didnt find anything. Then one night, he was in a strip club to look for her to see if she was being forced to prostitute. Which she was. So he found her. But it was too late for her friend, amanda. She was overdosed and died. They went back to there home in the U.S. and tried to lead a normal life. There's much more detail to the movie if you watch it. Its a movie that keeps your interest and i recommend it.

Pixar Films

My favorite pixar film is ratatouille. Its number 4 on the Top 10 Greatest Pixar Films http://listverse.com/2011/03/20/top-10-greatest-pixar-films/.  I watched it in chef call at the begining of the year and really liked it. The main story is that a chef finds a rat in his kitchen and discovers that the rat can cook really good. So the chef and the rat become really good friends. The rat lets the chef take credit for all its cooking. But later in the story everyone finds out that it was really a rat all along and then it creates a health concern for the health department. But  eventually, everything works out and the rat becomes a chef at the end. I recommend this movie.

Elf (:

This is by far, my favorite movie of all times. I watch it all year round not just Christmas. I'm pretty sure everyone has seen this movie at least once. It came out a few years ago but to me, its still a popular movie. Its about this 'elf' named buddy who was raised by elf's but he is actually a human. All the elf's know it but buddy is completely oblivious. So the elf who volunteered to raise him had to break the news to him. Buddy was crushed. Santa told buddy to go to New York where his father worked. But before he went, Santa had to tell him that his father was on the naughty list. Which crushed buddy even more. But buddy went to New York anyways and met his father. When buddy got to the place his father worked, everyone thought he was a singing telegram as a joke because he was still in his 'elf clothes'. Even his father because he didn't even know that buddy existed. When buddy told hid dad that he was his dad, he didn't believe buddy until he showed him a picture of this mother. Buddy's dad didn't want really anything to do with buddy but buddy wanted a relationship with his father. So buddy waited for him to get off work then he followed him back to his apartment. Where buddy learned that he was married with a son. His father wanted him to stay in a hotel but his wife wouldn't allow that and insisted he stay with them. So buddy stayed with them and he loved it. He made them a candy breakfast and showed up at his fathers work again where he was forced to leave because he wouldn't stop bothering them. Buddy ruined one of his important meetings and his father told him to go back to the north pole. So as buddy was leaving, he saw that Santa's sleigh was flying but was having issues. And the sleigh crashed because it lost a part. Buddy went over to Santa and was really excited that he was there. So buddy went looking for that missing part and of course, the news was there and trying to get the story. He found the part and fixed the sleigh and Santa let him and his little brother ride in the sleigh with him. Buddy got married to a girl he met in a department store and they had a baby together. Then they all lived happily ever after :) This movie probably sounds stupid if you've never seen it before, but i really don't think it is. Its definitely a comedy and its probably one of the funniest movies I've seen. I would definitely recommend it.

The Lovely Bones

I watched the lovely bones after homecoming at a friends house. I thought it was creepy. It wasn't an action movie it was a movie where they try to find this girls killer. The girls name is Susie. Shes 14 years old and lives a normal life. Until one day, she was walking home from school and there neighbor, George Harvey, told her that he made his basement a room for neighborhood kids. Once he finally got her to go to his basement with him, she began to feel uncomfortable. But when she tried to leave, he grabbed her arm so Susie elbowed him in the face and ran. While she was gone, her parents began to worry because she wasn't home yet. Her dad went looking for her while her mom stayed home waiting for the police. Susie returns home to find Harvey soaking in a bathtub. She saw her charm bracelet on the sink next to a bloody razor and that's when she figures out that Harvey murdered her. Then shes pulled into a surreal world which is neither heaven or earth. From there on, she watches over her family and friends because shes unable to let go. Her family doesn't know that Harvey is the one who killed her. He kept her body in a safe in the basement.  Jack, Susi's father, is suspicious of Harvey being a suspect. Lindsey, Susie's sister, breaks into Harvey's house looking for evidence. She found a lock of her hair and articles about her murder. She takes the evidence home and shows her grandmother. Harvey is scared of getting caught now because he knew Lindsey had been in his house. So, he leaves, taking Susie's remains with him. Harvey has had other victims, and Susie meets them. She eventually enters heaven and sees that her family is recovering which she calls 'the lovely bones.' I thought the movie was good but confusing at times. Its one of those movies you have to watch a couple times to fully follow it. But i would recommend it to people who like mystery movies.

Beastly

over the weekend, i went to go see the new movie beastly that's out with a couple of my friends. i really liked it a lot and its probably one of my favorite movies if not my first favorite. i think girls would probably like it more than a guy would because it is a love story. on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, i would give it a 9.5. it would be a perfect 10 but i wanted a better ending. it ended how i wanted it to but i wish they would of shown more of it or made the ending a little longer so we could see how there relationship went and if they lasted or even got married. i think the movie taught a good lesson too. i think it taught people not to judge people based on their looks even though we all do, its human nature. it also taught people that looks aren't everything and there are more important things such as your personality and how you treat other people. because even if you are good looking, no one is going to like you or want to be your friend if your mean to them and everyone else. i would rather be friends with someone who is nice to me and everyone else and may not be 'good looking', rather than someone who is 'good looking' and mean. i would definitely go see it again and recommend it to other people.

alvin and the chipmunks

one of my favorite movies is Alvin and the chipmunks. i saw it 3 or 4 years ago when it first came out with my sister, uncle and cousins. we went Christmas night. i thought it was cute and funny. Theodore is definitely my favorite of the 3. my favorite part of the movie is when one of the chipmunks is in the dish washer taking a shower. i was hoping they would make a second one because i thought it would be really good. then when they did make a second one, i was sort of disappointed with it. i didn't think it was as good as the first because it was mostly about the girl chipmunks and not enough about the original. i did think it was cute still but i favor the first one.
