Movie Review: Unaccompanied Minors

Unaccompanied Minors (2006)
Starring: Dyllan Christopher and Gia Mantegna
Characters: Spencer Davenport and Grace Conrad
Directed by: Paul Feig
Tagline: Silent night...yeah, right.
Grade: A-

I like family movies...that should be fairly obvious by now. And this one is no different. While some of the lines are a little bad and some of the acting is sorry, it's overall a pretty good movie. It's about a group of kids traveling on planes without their parents (or unaccompanied minors) that get stuck at Hoover International Airport. The group, which consists of Spencer, Grace, Charlie Goldfinch, Beef Wellington, and Donna Malone, is chased by the airport's passenger relations officer, Oliver Porter. After they escape from the UM room, they are caught by Zach Van Bourke, Porter, and the guards. While the rest of the kids get to spend a relaxing night in the lodge, they have to stay in the abandoned room. They escape from the room, and continue to elude Porter...having a chase through the luggage sorting room is one of my favorite scenes. So, overall a good, heartwarming family movie. I would probably reccomend it to other people, esp as a family Christmas movie.

Movie Review: Just Friends

Just Friends (2005)
Starring: Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart
Characters: Chris Brander and Jamie Palamino
Directed by: Roger Kumble
Tagline: Moments like this have been ruining friendships for centuries
Grade: A

I watched this movie for the first time last night. I really liked it. It's funny, it's cute, and it makes you feel good (well, most of it anyway.) And Ryan Reynolds is one of the funniest and cutest fat people I have ever seen. He actually could pass as a fat person. Even the way he talks and how he moves his eyes cracks me up. The movie is about Chris, who was fat in high school and was in love with his best friend, the beautiful and popular Jamie. At a graduation party, his love for her is ousted when one of the jocks reads what he wrote in her yearbook aloud. He leaves and doesn't talk to them again for a long time. We then see him years in the future and he's thin and good looking, able to get any girl he wants. He gets stuck in his old hometown and goes back to see Jamie, with his current "girlfriend" Samantha James (Anna Faris) tagging along. While the movie has an unnecessary amount of dirty stuff (and really, really gross licking...ew) it's really good. And, of course, Ryan Reynolds makes it 100% better.

Alias...White Collar....and Matthew Bomer :)

The show Alias rocks...I love to watch it. Sydney Bristow has to be like the coolest person ever. She can kick any guys butt...no matter how much bigger he is. And Will Tippin is amazing. So is Michael Vaughn...why does she get two guys that awesome and I get none?!?! It's not fair...

I also love the show White Collar. But, Matthew Bomer is in it, so no wonder I love it. He has got to be the hottest guy ever. And he's a great actor...loved him in Traveler...loved him in Chuck...now really, really love him in White Collar. Yeah...it's awesome.

Movie Review: Unknown

Unknown (2006)
Starring: James Caviezel and Greg Kinnear
Characters: Jean Jacket and Broken Nose
Directed by: Simon Brand
Tagline: Trust no one. Fear everyone.
Grade: A+

This movie is awesome! It's been one of my favorites for a while. The language is pretty bad, but overall the movie is worth watching. One of the other stars is Barry Pepper, who is one of my favortie actors...which, obviously, makes this movie a win for that reason, too. :) Unknown is about five guys (Caviezel, Kinnear, Joe Pantoliano, Barry Pepper, and Jeremy Sisto) who wake up in some kind of warehouse having been knocked out by a mysterious chemical that also causes memory loss. They soon find an article in the newspaper that says a very wealthy buisness man and his financial advisor have been kidnapped. They realize that two of them are the victims and the other three are kidnappers. Even though they know this, they work together to take down the bad guys (with the exception of Jeremy Sisto...watch the movie to understand). This movie, even though they cuss like sailors, is well worth watching...as most independent movies these days are.

Movie Review: Drillbit Taylor

Drillbit Taylor (2008)
Starring: Owen Wilson and Nate Hartley
Characters: Drillbit Taylor and Wade
Directed by: Steven Brill
Tagline: You get what you pay for.
Grade: A-

This movie is actually pretty enjoyable...yeah, not the best plot wise, but there are several parts that make me laugh really hard. Owen Wilson is one of the funniest actors I've ever seen and this is probably one of my favorite of his roles. And Josh Peck is in it, which makes it even better, cause I've loved him since Drake and Josh, which I've seen every (and I mean EVERY) episode of. I thought his role in this movie, the bully that torments the skinny, fat, and nerdy kids, was probably a good acting experience for him...because he's played the person on the other end of the bullying so many times. Anyway, the movie is about a homeless "veteran" who is hired by some kids that are bullied all the time to be their bodyguard. (One of my favorite scenes is when they're talking to all of the possible bodyguards. Not only is a guy from Psych one of the candidates, but Adam Baldwin (who plays John Casey in one of my very favorite shows, Chuck) is one, too.) They decide to hire Drillbit and he "trains" them in how to defend themselves. ("I'm going to teach you Judo...as in Ju-don't-know-who-you're-messing-with.") Then they "take down" the bullies in the most amazing and funny fight scene I think I've seen in a movie. All in all, a pretty good movie...I wouldn't exactly call it "family", but it's pretty close.

Annoyance

So, I've realized fairly recently that I get annoyed easily...that's probably very noticable by the people that know me. lol Hopefully someday I will meet someone that has the personality of Michael Vaughn and looks like Ryan Reynolds...or he can look like Michael Vaughn and have the personality of Ryan Reynolds...I don't really care. As long as he isn't anything like my ex, I'll be good. Anyway, today was a snow day, which was awesome. You don't get many of those as a homeschooler, but sometimes, people are just lucky, I guess. We have first rehearsal on Tuesday, which should be fun. So, yeah looking forward to that and my younger sister's friend's (sorry for the confusion) birthday party on Sunday. Fun week! haha...ya.

Plays

So, I'm in a lot of plays...I love being on the stage...as long as I have lines and I'm not having to do a speech or something. So we're doing a musical this time...Hello Dolly...woohoo...not. It kind of seems boring to me...we walk around in long dresses...singing old songs. Blah. I was in Bye Bye Birdie and it was the most fun I've had in a long, long time. The 50's were a fun time...the 80's were a fun time...1842 was not. So, yeah, not totally excited about this play. But I do get to hang out with two of my best friends (and the boy I have a slight, slight crush on...shhh) because we're all going to be in the ensemble. So I guess something good did come out of it. yay! :)

Movie Review: Catch Me If You Can

Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks
Characters: Frank Abagnale Jr. and Carl Hanratty
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Tagline: The true story of a real fake
Grade: A+

I love movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio. (As if someone couldn't tell.) He's a great actor and he's gorgeous (not everything, but it always helps). So, of course I loved this movie. And also, Amy Adams was in it and, like I said, I'm one of her biggest fans. Tom Hanks is pretty cool, too. (Anyone associated with Band of Brothers and/or Damien Lewis is automatically cool in my book.) The movie is the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., who, after his parents get divorced, becomes a con man. He becomes one of the best and most famous con men of all time, impersonating a PanAm pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer...he even passed the bar exam after studying for only two weeks. Carl Hanratty is the FBI agent that chases after him for years. I really like this movie because, not only is the acting good and the story well written (even if it was a true story, someone still has to write it, right?), but it's also really fun. If you want a modern retelling (kind of), check out USA Network's White Collar. (which also stars Matthew Bomer...making it an automatic win...look at that, bringing up Damien Lewis and Matthew Bomer in the same post...that's a win too.)

Movie Review: Big Fat Liar

Big Fat Liar (2002)
Starring: Frankie Muniz and Paul Giamatti
Characters: Jason Shepherd and Marty Wolf
Directed by: Shawn Levy
Tagline: The truth is never overrated.
Grade: A-

This is another one of those movies that people might not want to watch just because of the genre. Most people consider movies that don't have cussing or bloody violence to be bad. A lot of my favorite movies have violence and cussing (Stand by Me, anyone?) but a lot of great movies are family movies, like this one. The movie is about Jason, who lies all the time...about everything. One day, after sneaking in the window to the classroom with the help of his best friend, Kaylee (Amanda Bynes, who, as always, rocks and steals the scenes she's in), he realizes he hasn't written his paper that was due that day. So he makes up a whole story about how he was in the ER all night with his dad, who had choked on a meatball...which is soon proved to be false when his parents show up at school...his dad meatball free. His teacher gives him until 5:00 that night to write his paper...which he very fittingly titles Big Fat Liar. On his way to turn in his paper, he runs into Mr. Marty Wolf...a ruthless movie producer. After Jason accidentally leaves his story in the limo, Wolf sees it and decides to claim it as his own. Hilarity ensues, with Jason and Kaylee to sneak off to Hollywood and all of Wolf's enemies ganging up on him to force him to confess that he stole the story. All in all, a solid movie from the time when Frankie Muniz was in every movie that came out...like Agent Cody Banks (I also liked that one...but, like I said, I like pretty much every movie.) The clear "winner" of this movie is Amanda Bynes, who wins in all her movies. (See the amazing, AMAZING She's the Man.)

More college stuff

So, I went to a meeting for John Brown University tonight and they told us some info. I had a lot of fun...and of course, my stupid ex-boyfriend showed up. Apparently he's decided he has to go there...I know he won't though cause he doesn't like working...or doing school...or doing anything besides watching youtube videos. So, I guess I'll just have to pray that something will happen so he won't go. Ugh....boys suck.

Movie Review: Because of Winn-Dixie

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005)
Starring: AnnaSophia Robb and Jeff Daniels
Characters: Opal and Preacher
Directed by: Wayne Wang
Tagline: Discover what happens when you go looking for a miracle and a miracle comes looking for you.
Grade: A+

I know a lot of people are biased towards this kind of movie because it's a "kids movie" or maybe because it's too "sentimental". Well, this movie is both, but it's not overly so. There's no profanity in it, it's PG after all, so parents can feel safe letting their kids watch it. The movie is about a girl named Opal, who has just moved to the small Southern town of Naomi, and her father, the Preacher. He's never given a name, nor is Opal given a last name. She doesn't have any friends and misses her old friends until she finds a dog in the supermarket, which she claims is hers and names him Winn-Dixie, after the store she was in. And throughout the movie, because of Winn-Dixie, she makes several friendships with people of several different ages. I loved the book, and the movie stuck pretty close to the book, if I remember right, so of course I loved it. This was the first movie I saw AnnaSophia Robb in and have loved her ever since. She is especially cute in this movie...even her voice is adorable. I loved everything about this movie, from the actors (look out for AnnaSophia, Courtney Jines as Amanda Wilkinson, and Elle Fanning as Sweetie Pie Thomas) to the adorable dog playing Winn-Dixie. Overall, a great family movie with lots of heart.

Epiphany

So, I had an epiphany today in church...which I don't think people have very often. It was an interesting experience. I suddenly realized that I'm going to go to college, I'm going to meet someone that's 10 million times better than my ex-boyfriend, and I'm going to get a good job. My ex-boyfriend, however, probably won't go to college, and if he does, he won't stay long. He'll probably end up working at Chick-Fil-A for the rest of his life. It was then that I realized that he's not worth my time...so, I've decided that I'm not going to be stressed by him or anything he does anymore. And I feel much better. :)

Movie Review: Titanic

Titanic (1997)
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet
Characters: Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater
Directed by: James Cameron
Tagline: Collide with destiny
Grade: A++

Anyone that knows me knows that I love this movie. I've loved it for a long time and I've probably watched it 30 times. It's one of my very favorite movies and everyone who has seen it knows why. It's an amazing movie (and I'm also obsessed with everything Titanic, so that helps a little). But the story, as well as the beautiful graphics of the ship that look so real, is amazing. The movie is about a rich girl (Rose), who is on the ship with her mother and her evil fiance, and a poor boy (Jack), who is only on the ship because he won two tickets in a lucky hand of poker. They meet on the stern of the ship when she tries to commit suicide and he stops her. Over the next two days, they fall in love, even though she keeps warning him that it probably won't work. But, of course, their love is doomed, as is the ship. When the ship sinks, they try to get to the lifeboats but most of the people in the water can't. As much as I don't like a sad ending, this was probably the only "realistic" ending. Anyway, the movies is great...although it probably isn't for everyone, I love every kind of movie, and I always give movies a chance. So, if people do that for this movie, instead of just ignoring it because it was the biggest grossing movie of all time, I think most of them would actually like it...plus it has Leonardo DiCaprio....I'll take him over some blue guy anyday.

Friends

So, I pretty much have the best friends in the world. I know everyone says that, but it's actually true. Now that one of my best friends is working, it's pretty hard to get together. So, between my pretty hectic school schedule, her working schedule, and my other friend's rock climbing schedule, it sucks. But when we hang out, we have so much fun. We make videos of us goofing off and we make parodies of movies and shows. Anyway, that's what I wanted to talk about today. Kind of boring, but I'm in a boring mood....the only thing that takes the boredom away is watching my favorite show about other friends, which is correctly titled Friends. Chandler Bing = the funniest (and my favorite) character ever. Phoebe Buffay = crazy and awesome. Joey Tribbiani = the epitome of cool. Rachel Green = what character had more stylish clothes or better hairstyles? Ross Geller = kind of whiny but I loved his relationship with Rachel. Monica Geller = the character I relate to more than any other character...ever. Anyway, that show rocks. :)

Movie Review: Save the Last Dance

Save the Last Dance (2001)
Starring: Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas
Characters: Sara and Derek
Directed by: Thomas Carter
Tagline: The only person you need to be is yourself
Grade: B+

I love dance movies. I love dancing, so obviously I would love movies in which the characters dance. This was a pretty good dance movie, not one of the best, but still pretty good. I might be biased because my favorite dance movie is Step Up and Step Up 2 The Streets, which are both amazing. But this one was still pretty awesome. The movie is about a ballerina (Sara) who has to move in with her father, who lives in a pretty rough neighborhood, after her mother dies. There, she meets Derek, who is a very smart guy that wants to be a doctor. Sara decides that she wants to learn how to dance in a club, instead of just ballet. As he teaches her to dance, they start liking each other, which starts a lot of talk. One of the things I didn't like so much about this movie was all of the racial stuff, which I thought took away from the main point of the movie. Another thing I didn't like so much was the lack of dancing. There are a couple scenes, which are very short, where Derek is teaching her how to dance and a couple of club scenes. Other than those and the very long scene at the end, when Sara auditions for Julliard, there's not a whole lot of dancing. So, overall, a pretty good movie...it's a movie that involves dancing, I just wouldn't exactly call it a "dance" movie.

College problems

Okay...so, there's a college I want to go to, it's called JBU. It's an awesome school and I've wanted to go there for a couple years. But then, all of a sudden, my ex-boyfriend, who has major problems, wants to go there. Today he got "accepted", which I have doubts about because he's dumb as dirt....he's as dumb as the dumbest kind of dirt. I personally think he's lying. And I also think he forged one of his letters...but no one believes anything I say, cause I'm a kid. So, yeah. Life sucks, then you die. -Jacob Black...that's excessively true right now.

Movie Review: The Thing Called Love

The Thing Called Love (1993)
Starring: River Phoenix and Samantha Mathis
Characters: James Wright and Miranda Presley
Directed by: Peter Bogdanovich
Tagline: Stand by your dream
Grade: B

This movie was pretty good. It wasn't the best one movie I've seen, but it had River Phoenix in it, so I was willing to give it a lot of leeway. He's one of the best actors ever, and one of my very favorites, so that's why I watched it. And he was great. The movie about a girl from New York (Miranda) that moves to Nashville to pursue her dream of being a country music singer. Once she gets there she meets a "cowboy" from Connecticut (Dermot Mulroney), a Southern belle with an unfortunate name (Sandra Bullock, ah! lol), and a Texan boy that's actually doing pretty well in the song writing business (James). River was amazing (as usual), Samantha Mathis was ok, but kind of annoying, Sandra Bullock was awesome and funny, as always, and I've liked Dermot Mulroney since Young Guns. I also liked the ending, where she ended up with the guy she was meant to be with instead of making some stupid ending. I don't like stupid endings. So overall, I guess it was a pretty good movie, but I wouldn't reccomend it over other movies. But River Phoenix fans would probably enjoy it. But it also makes me sad that this was his last role in a movie and the role wasn't spectacular like his role in Running on Empty or, my favorite movie of all time, Stand by Me.

Dating...and other stuff

So, as I said in the last post, I recently dated I guy that I know now I shouldn't have. Because of that, I have decided not to date guys until college. Hopefully, they will at least be more mature than most my age are. (Although, they still won't be mature...I guess that's too much to ask.) Anyway, nothing happened today except my math tutor, Roy, came over today. Which translates into a pretty boring day, I guess. I listened to Sterling Knight's new song Starstruck, from his movie of the same name. It should be pretty good, Disney Channel movies have been getting better lately, but even if it isn't I'll probably still like it...cause Sterling Knight is pretty cool. Anyways, as I was watching a movie called The Thing Called Love I was reminded of a song that I knew of but didn't like until my personal favorite Idol besides Carrie Underwood, otherwise known as Allison Iraheta, sang it on American Idol. It's called "Blame it on Your Heart", which of course everyone knows of. Anyway, the beginning of the song goes:

"You've got a thing or two to learn about me baby
Cause I ain't taking it no more and I don't mean maybe
You don't know right from wrong and the love we had is gone
So blame it on your lyin cheatin cold dead beatin two timin double dealin mean mistreating loving heart.

Well all I wanted was to be your one and only
And all I ever got from you was bein lonely
That dream has laid to rest
Cause you have failed the test
Hey blame it on your lyin cheatin cold dead beatin two timin double dealin mean mistreating loving heart."

That's what I love about country songs so much: they dig into guys. lol but it's true. And a lot of times that's what guys need, cause they're only going to do it to the next girl they meet. And I'm the kind of girl that wants to help the next girl, because I know how hard it's going to be for her when she realizes he really isn't the boy of her dreams. But it always helps to know which breakup song to listen to. I believe Taylor Swift has all the answers. :) If you're mad, you can go for "Picture to Burn". Or, if you're in a softer mood, "White Horse" or "You're Not Sorry". If there's a boy that's cheated on you, you can listen to "Should've Said No" and if there's a boy that promised to always love you, but changed his mind, "Forever & Always". She even has you covered if you want to listen to a song about loving a great guy ("Hey Stephen"), Romeo and Juliet ("Love Story"), loving the guy that doesn't love you back ("You Belong With Me"...and the video has Lucas Till...you can't lose!), a guy that you adore ("Jump Then Fall"), or a song about being so in love with a guy, that it makes you brave and want to "dance in a storm in my best dress fearless" ("Fearless"), which is a personal favorite of mine. Funny enough, even though I've had all this trouble with this stupid, stupid boy my favorite Taylor Swift song is Love Story...I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic at heart...now I just need to find my Romeo....Romeo Romeo where for art thou Romeo?? Romeo?!?!?!...stupid boys. :)

Movie Review: Never Been Kissed

Never Been Kissed (1999)
Starring: Drew Barrymore and Michael Vartan
Characters: Josie Geller and Sam Coulson
Directed by: Raja Gosnell
Tagline: A comedy with class
Grade: A++

As you can probably see, I LOVE this movie. Movies like this make me happy. I think everyone can relate to Josie in some way or another. And Mr. Coulson has to be the hottest teacher, like, ever. Of course, I might be biased because I love Michael Vaughn....I'm obsessed with Alias, but who isn't? Anyway, the basic idea of the story is that a shy copy editor for the Chicago Sun-Times who was very unpopular in high school (Josie) goes back to high school as an undercover reporter. When she gets there, she's still unpopular. So, after a while of being snubbed by the popular kids, her brother, who was popular in school, decides to step in. He tells her that all she needs is for one kid (the right kind of kid) to think she's cool and everyone else will be too scared to disagree. So, he goes back to high school with her and everyone thinks she's cool. While she starts hanging out with the popular kids she starts liking the popular guy in school, Guy Perkins, because he reminds her of the boy she liked in high school, Billy Prince. But the guy she's supposed to be with is the Shakspeare teacher, Sam Coulson. He's not allowed to like her, though, because she's his student. In the end, she writes a fantastic article about having never been kissed in that special way, she's never found that person that, when you kiss them, you realize you never want to be with anyone else. At the end, of course, she finds that guy and the film ends by showing pictures of the cast and crew in high school as the credits roll.
This movie is one of my movies I watch when I'm sad or not feeling good. It makes me laugh, feel good, and extremely happy, which is everything you need when you're feeling down. So, yes, I would recommed this movie to anyone who has a taste for good 90's movies...or movies in general.
-MOT (I've also decided that I'm not going to add my tag about movies onto the posts with reviews unless something has changed since the last post.)

So...

Let's see...I said I'm going to write about feelings. So, here's how I'm feeling. It's pretty normal for a 17 year old girl, I guess.
There's a guy that I went out with....I liked him a lot when we were going out...not so much anymore. Sometimes, I want to stab him with something sharp...not kill him...just hurt him very badly. Maybe put him in the hospital for a while. And I swear, I'm not violent. That's just how stupid and aggravating he is. And my problems with him isn't that he's too goofy (which he is) or that he's around all the time (which is also true). It's that he hangs out with my friends. They wouldn't even know him if it weren't for me and now he considers them his friends and thinks they'll be loyal to him. They're still nice to him...part of me is happy for that because I don't want people to think I'm bitter, but the other part of me wants them to hate him and be mean to him. I don't know why. I don't like it when people are mean to other people...but I wouldn't mind every once and a while someone slapping him or something....like, maybe me slapping him. haha Anyway, that's all I kind of feel like talking about. If I post anymore, I might get mad...or even madder. Wait...is that a word?

Movie Review: Say Anything...

Ok...so I've decided to review a movie.
A) Because I like writing
B) Because I'm bored
C) Because the title of this blog is, after all, Musings of a Movie Obsessed Teenager
D) Because I love talking about movies
So, here goes...

Say Anything... (1989)
Starring: John Cusack and Ione Sky
Characters: Lloyd Dobler and Diane Court
Directed by: Cameron Crowe
Tagline: To know Lloyd Dobler is to love him. Diane Court is about to know Lloyd Dobler.
Grade: A

I think it's fitting that the first movie review I write is about an 80's movie. There is no way to measure the love I have for 80's movies. Most of my favorite movies are made up of them. But I love this one in particular. It actually didn't interest me at first. But I watched it because I had gone to a lot of trouble to record it and I didn't have any other movies to watch. Now, I'm so glad I did. Because now, I love, love, love Say Anything...
The movie is basically about an unpopular guy (Lloyd), who also happens to be a wonderful guy, is in love with the beautiful and smart girl (Diane). It's pretty predictable, right? Wrong. Not only does she end up loving him back, but there's even a sort of "mystery" involved. **Spoiler** Diane's father is being investigated by the IRS. At first, you just think it's an unnecessary diversion from the main point of the movie. But it soon becomes what brings Lloyd and Diane back together. In the end, she (kind of) reconciles with her father and heads off to England, with Lloyd there to support her. Which, I think is a good ending.
Not only does this movie have a great ending (Woo! for happy endings), it also has several unexpected turns...*insert ghostly sound and cackle* Not that kind of unexpected turn, but still.
