Buried

Buried (2010)
Starring: Ryan Reynolds
Directed by: Rodrigo Cortes
SC=3 V=7 C=9
Grade: B

This movie is a very difficult movie to watch. Very, very intense, which is odd because the entire movie takes place in a coffin. The ENTIRE movie takes place in a coffin. No glimpses of what people are doing outside...nothin. It's also depressing because, like I said, he's in a coffin. The only reason I graded the movie as high as I did is because Ryan Reynolds gives one of the best performances in any movie I've ever seen. He's truly incredible. He plays Paul Conroy, who is a US driver working in Iraq. After he is attacked by a group of Iraqis, he wakes up in a coffin, buried alive. With only a lighter and a cell phone, its a race against time to escape the claustrophobic deathtrap. The movie itself is claustrophobic. The person watching feels like they're trapped. Both director and the star made this a very intense, scary 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.

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.
