Red State Movie Review

Red State was one of the creepiest and most messed up movies I've seen. It has to do with this church like Fred Phelps but times 100. They protest against gays and dispis them its very controversial. In the end you find out they have been killing the homosexuals in the community. I found the movie to be very deep and dark and it painted an image of a very twisted and distorted version of our society. The shots were very good and the movie always kept my intest. I found it really odd though how some of it played out it seemed unrealistic when you would step back but while watching the movie they did an amazing job of making it seem possible. Over all I would say its a movie that really gets you thinking and its kind of an eye opener on how good things can turn horribly wrong and about how some people just have something that jus doesn't click right.

North By Northwest (Max Woodard)

When most people hear the name Hitchcock, they think of 4 classic movies. Rear Window, Vertico, Psyco and North by Northwest. North by Northwest was the last of these 4 to be made and is a commonly known film from household to household. In the movie New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill is taken by spies who believe he is a CIA agent by the name of George Kaplan. He escapes the spies but must find Kaplan in order to clear himself of being a suspect for a murder. The movie is full of adventure and double cross as Thornhill finds himself being chased by a crop-dusting plane in a cornfield running for his life. The film is a great and a personal favorite. I recommend it to anybody over the age of 13.

Jaws (Max Woodard)

Based on Peter Benchley's book, Steven Spielberg started a saga with this new compelling story that left audiences on the edge of their seats. The movie begins on an summer night when "Chrissie" decides to go skinny dipping while her friends party on the beach. When she disappears under water she never returns leaving only pieces of her body left washed up on shore. The police force refuse to believe the worst and they dont shut down the beach until a few more victims fall to the great white shark. The mayor orders a fisherman to kill the beast. They find a shark, kill it and reopen the beach thinking that the attacks are over. It turns out that the shark they killed is not the cause of the death and the fisherman teams up with two other men and go take on the killer shark known as jaws.

Forrest Gump (Max Woodard)

Forrest Gump is a masterpiece. Forrest Gump, who is played by Tom Hanks, has lived his life being completely oblivious to the amazing and historical things that happen to him. He has met Elvis, met the president, become a pro football star, gone to the Vietnam war, and much more, but all his life all he could think about was the love of his life Jenny. Jenny is sweet girl but has lived her life trying to cover it up with sex and drugs. However, she has always been best friends with Forrest and never stopped believing hes a great person. Forrest Gump may not be a smart man, but you don't have to be smart to be a great man. One of the greatest movies ever.

The Wizard Of Oz - Max Woodard

The Wizard of Oz is a definite classic. Dorothy lives on a farm in Kansas until a tornado arrives. It picks her, her house, and her dog up and deposits them in the land of Oz. Things in Oz are strange and beautiful, but Dorothy just wants to get back home. She's helped by the Good Witch of the North, but she's also in trouble with the Wicked Witch of the West, who seeks revenge for the death of her sister; the Wicked Witch of the East, for which she blames Dorothy. Great film, Classic.

Jaws Movie Review by Mark Livingston

In Steven Spielberg's classic thriller, a ferocious shark terrorizes the citizens of Amity Island. After a series of attacks, a local police chief, marine biologist and sketchy fisherman go out for the ultimate fight of human versus animal. Spielberg is able to capture both sides of thrill and fun in order to portray the growing sense of paranoia which is riddled within these ordinary men who are way over their heads.
The acting portrayed by Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss is exemplary in the note that each of them is able to show to the audience the stress of being stranded in open waters with a monstrous beast that could strike at any moment.

Jaws was not only a revolutionary film because of its storyline and acting, but with the complex animatronics involved to bring the character Jaws to life. Imagine even just being an actor having to come face to face with a realistic white shark. Acting afraid was not too much of a struggle for these men. 

The music score composed by John Williams is a timeless soundtrack that is repeated time and time again for comedic and serious parodies. Jaws is a classic tale of isolation, paranoia, and the unknown. The way it captivates the audience with jump scares and suspense brings views to watch the film again and again. Jaws deserves the praise it has received over the year, although perhaps not the sequels that followed in its wake. 

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

This is the second adventure of te legendary Indiana Jones, in it he is n India where a village needs his help to get sacred stones and free the children from the evil temple of doom. The action in it is great and makes you feel like your in the movie. The scenery in it is amazing with the jungle and the temple where the villains are at actually looks real. The lighting in it is amazing and really shows the mood of the shot like when Indiana is turning evil the room is very dark and only lit by candles. Out of all the Indiana Jones Movies I say this one is the best one and highly suggest it.
