The Blind Side

Directed by John Lee Hancock this drama, sports movie stars Quinton Aaron (Michael Oher), Sandra Bullock (Leigh Anne Tuohy), Tim McGraw (Sean Tuohy), Kathy Bates (Miss Sue) and others. The movie is about the true story of Michael Oher a homeless, youngster coming from a broken home who is taken in by the wealthy Tuohy family and from there the inspirational story is set further into motion. From here the story then shows the champion football player Michael Oher rise to success and also brings in other topics like racism and much about the important bond Michael forms to his family and friends in his all new life situation out of the projects. Although I am not a football nut the story of this athlete seemed quite inspirational and awesome; however part of me felt that the movie would surely not exactly be like a sports history show on A&E because it seemed just about every other scene or so was just looking for a way to present some form of a feel good inspirational moment if you know what I mean; which is also just fine in my opinion but just to let you know ahead of time it does seem extra heavy on that emotional aspect. But I would say overall this movie has about the right idea or format for a drama people will enjoy and surely find a bit moving and so it seems clearly to me this film is not a bad choice to see. Also not a bad choice because it is a true story and of course the last reason is if you just might also happen to be a die hard Ravens fan because that is the team Michael Oher plays for in the current day.

2012

Roland Emmerich directed this action, adventure, drama, sci fi, fantasy movie and I would say horror movie really in a way, starring John Cusack (Jackson Curtis), Amanda Peet (Kate Curtis), Chiwetel Ejiofore (Adrian Helmsley) and others. 2012 is about the world going through significant disasters as plate tectonics move and the movie shows how some of humanity and various specific characters embark on such a most serious dilemma. Well I have never been a huge fan of world disaster movies, although I have to give credit to effects people today who just seem to be able to pretty much make anything look real on film. This was a disaster movie that also tried to emulate real life people it seemed, like the Governor of California seemingly being Arnold Schwarzenegger and so forth, which I'm sure they do to make you feel more engulfed essentially. For me this movie did not measure much more then other disaster movies out there, that not being a compliment or insult, however certain parts of the solutions and conflicts were unique like human kinds particular attempt at a means of survival. I had seen this particular movie mostly for the heck of it since disaster films are not usually my thing and I sure felt glad to leave that theater in a sound place. In my opinion this movie was not bad but it did not fully and entirely blow me away, excuse the pun on words. In a more further conclusion and in other words my main thought is my guess this movie not to worry on the whole will be found to be pretty good by action seeking audiences because of all the dramatic captivating action that just in my aquired taste though can sometimes perhaps be too intense. Oh and P.S. when in the world are they going to play that R.E.M. song "Its the End of the World" in one of these types of movies!

Avatar

This movie was directed by James Cameron, who did Titantic also and yes you have probably heard he spent a boat load of money on both of these movies so to speak. Avatar is an action, thriller, sci fi, adventure starring Sam Worthington (Jake Sully), Zoe Saldana (Neytiri), Sigourney Weaver (Dr. Grace Augustine), Michelle Rodriguez (Trudy Chacon) and others. Well the movie is about a marine Jake Sully choosing to travel to another planet called Pandora where he meets tall blue people, that's right he travels to another planet and meets tall blue people, he does not travel to another planet unwillingly by the means of little green people in this one. But any who the movie Avatar is about Jake Sully a marine whose brother was unfortunately killed, but he takes on his military operation instead. Essentially the story is all about Jake finding himself at odds with military operations, a mineral type of drilling on the planet of Pandora and the beings he becomes most familiar with on the planet known as the Na'vi. The movie has a lot of creativity involved and was very sci fi, it was also a really long movie just to let you know, so you aware of that basic fact; and I also just want to mention my short and simple overall viewpoint in a final summary for this particular entry and that would be that if you can tolerate a high dosage of science fiction coming at you I would recommend this movie for two reasons: one it is a huge movie everyone is talking about and two it is a science fiction story that seems really original as I don't remember seeing anything exactly with a generic storyline to this one. Well cheers, until my next movie "critique".
