Prisoners (2/5/24)

 Prisoners


    I will say I loved this movie but there were some things that I would like to change. I enjoyed this movie because it was similar to the film Taken with less violence and action. The basic plot is two little girls are taken and a father is on a mission to find and save them. I think that this movie portrayed human emotions and stress very well. In the film, we see Keller (the father of one of the girls) go to extreme measures to get answers from a suspected kidnapper. He locks him up, beats him, and later goes to using hot and cold water. He nearly kills him. This shows how the father is more locked up in prison than the two young girls. He is psychologically and emotionally trapped and can not escape it.

    I think that this movie played out rather slow which was unfortunate and it was 2.5 hours. It is hard to focus when they are that long and slow.

    My absolute favorite part of the film was the ending. I do not like cliffhangers where action is happening or the main characters find out something urgent or important or there is an action scene (Fast and Furious X is an example). However, this cliffhanger ends with the detective hearing faint whistles several times. The third whistle, he starts thinking he missed something and it's not just a random sound. The movie then ends. This is AMAZING. Cliffhangers where there is no action allow you to decide how the story ends. Me personally, I can see the detective leaving and the Keller having another movie where he tries to escape and then he finds and underground passage, uncovering many secrets. I would recommend this movie 100%. I rate it a 9.5/10 since it was slow.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (5/13/24)

  Puss in Boots: The Last Wish     I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. When I was younger, I loved the original puss in boots movie. I watched is so many times. I saw the trailer for this movie in a theater a while back and wasn't very interested in watching it since I was a lot older. I recently found it on my recommended page on Netflix and decided to give it a shot. I just want to say that this movie brought back so many childhood memories. The plot of the movie was amazing and the action was great. I loved Death's character especially his theme song. The idea that Puss's time is constantly running out and Death is always waiting was such a creative idea. I would highly recommend this movie to people regardless if you think you are too old to watch movies made for kids. Some of them are still very entertaining. I wish I watched this in theaters when it was out.

Tag (2/26/24)

  Tag      This movie was awesome. The movie was also based off a true story about a friend group who played a game of tag for 20+ years. The movie was enjoyable to watch since it was not slow. This show was the more entertaining and cinematic version of the tv show ultimate tag.  The ending revealing that Hoagie was going to die soon and that this was the last year to try and tag Jerry for the first time in 30 years made the whole movie have a deeper meaning. This movie is a strong reminder that nothing lasts forever and that we should cherish our friendships and memories. This movie makes me wish I had a friend group like this but it will probably never happen unless I meet some true characters in college. This movie was good and I would recommend it to some people. This movie was not a super action filled movie. It was more of a comedy movie.

Happy Gilmore (5/6/24)

  Happy Gilmore     Happy Gilmore has to be one of the best comedy movies in existence. The storyline of hockey player to golfer was amazing. As funny as the movie was, it also has great messages. The theme of constant failure and the need to adapt and find another solution should be a message everyone takes away from the movie. Happy failed to make the hockey team several years in a row but his powerful shot allowed him to get an amazing career in golf. The movie is a great example about how failure opens up other doors and allows you to learn from your mistakes.     I also find this movie relatable since I play both sports. When Happy starts swearing like a sailor missing the ball, I think about how similar we are. We hit a bad shot and start having a rampage on the course. Happy's attitude due to his hockey career is also very accurate. I have had teammates who get into nonstop fights every single game and get ejected. The movie did a fabulous job with Happy'...
