"The School of Rock" is One of Jack Black's Best Films.

"The School of Rock" is one of Jack Black's best films. It tells the story of Dewey, played by Jack Black, who is a rocker at heart. He plays guitar in a band, but the rest of the band does not like him to keep him enough in the band. He feels he needs to do something with his life because his roommate, Ned, played by Mike White, is mad at him for not paying the rent. Dewey decides to to substitute teach at a prep school. He soon learns that the kids in the class is very good at playing instruments are willing to help him win a Battle of the Bands competition and also help him get him striving again to be the person he is set out to be.

This film is great because it is funny, and very great to watch. Jack Black is very good at what he does. Yes he is a goofball, and very hilarious in most of his films. But he is a very good singer, and actor. He is in the band "Tenacious D" and he is also an actor. He is one of the few actors that can play comedic and dramatic roles. He is very entertaining in this role and it is a very exciting movie to watch because of the soundtrack, and the kids in this movie were fantastic also. It is a very good film to watch and it is has been ten years since it has been in theaters and it really should be considered one of Jack Black's best.

"Cyrus" is a Great Indie Comedy.

"Cyrus" is a great Indie comedy. It tells the story of John, played by John C. Reilly, is at a standstill. He is still depressed about his divorce from his wife, Jamie, played by Catherine Keener, and he is very lonely. One night he goes out to a party. He meets a very attractive and outgoing woman named Molly, played by Marisa Tomei. They hit it off, and John finally feels like he is alive again and feels like he has found someone new. John decides to spend more time with Molly, she is flattered but she is reluctant because of her overbearing son, Cyrus, played by Jonah Hill. Cyrus is a new age musician living with Molly and protects her from her new boyfriends. Molly tries to make Cyrus hold back on John because she really likes him. Cyrus does not like John so he does everything to try to break John and Molly up.

This film is great mainly because it is so funny. There are so many awkward sequences in this film, that help with the hilarity. Also, the actors in this film are all funny. Marisa Tomei is great in this film because of how she wanted to be the mother that wanted more out of his life. She epitomized how divorced mothers still needed love and had desires even if they had children. Jonah Hill is always hilarious and he is also a great actor. He proved that he is a great actor in this film, and "Moneyball" mainly because he can play in different kinds of roles comedic and dramatic, this film was both. Catherine Keener is one of my favorite actresses of all time. First off, she is hilarious in all of her films. And she is great at what she does mainly because she has worked her way from a manager at Mcdonald's and now acting in great independent roles. John C. Reilly is also a great actor. Yes, he is hilarious in films like "Step Brothers" and "Walk Hard" but he has been in a plethora of dramatic roles, and he even has an Oscar nomination for his amazing performance in "Chicago." All of these actors are great because of how they can act in different roles and succeed. This film is beautifully written and directed by Mark and Jay Duplass and it is really worth seeing.

"The Avengers" is a Great Film for Marvel Fans, and Hopefully the New Marvel Films Coming Out Are As Good.

"The Avengers" is a Great Film for Marvel Fans, and hopefully the new Marvel films coming out are as good. The Avengers is a team of superheroes consisting of Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr., The Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo, Captain America, played by Chris Evans, Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, and Hawkeye, played by Jeremny Renner. They are all put on a team to take down Thor's brother Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston. The superheroes are have to work together to take down their enemy.

This film is great for the fans. It involves some of the great superheroes from the comic books, and it is a very well done film. It is just a start to the tons of Marvel films that are coming out in the next few years, including a second "Avengers" film. There are a plethora of superheroes in Marvel but the films are very exciting because of the action and how it is very similar to the comic books. Personally, from the track record I like DC films better because of "Watchmen" "The Dark Knight" and "Batman Begins" but "The Avengers" is very entertaining to watch, especially because of all the superheroes and villains in the film and I am very excited for the second film.

"La Jetee" is a Film that is Revolutionary

"La Jetee" is a film that is revolutionary. This is a film made by Chris Marker. He uses still images to tell a story of a man held prisoner. He is forced to take part in a experiment dealing with his past, present, and future. He is sent to specific memories of his involving a woman he was with. We as the audience, still do not know if she is real or a figment of his imagination. We do know that he intrigued by this woman. He is entrapped by his past and he is trapped by his current situation of his predicament. HE has to figure out what has happened to him, and what will happen to him.

This film is beautifully done mainly because of the still images. The images are photographs telling a story. With music and dissolves, and shadows and lighting we can still understand the story well enough regardless that there is no video being portrayed. Chris Marker was a great filmmaker because he really tried to portray film in a different way, and this film was one of his best. He mostly made short films and this is probably his best. The story this film portrays is amazing regardless that we can only see still images. It is a spectacular film to see.

R.I.P. Paul Walker

Paul Walker was killed in a car crash yesterday. Although I am not a fan of his, it is never good to see anyone die or get killed. He was best known for his role in " Varsity Blues" and the "Fast and Furious" Series. This series, is very popular and he will be missed.

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is a Great Film to See This Holiday Season.

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is a great film to see this holiday season. This is the second installment of "The Hunger Games" trilogy. The first film had Peeta, played by Josh Hutcherson, and Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, winning the 74th annual Hunger Games. The Capitol is not very happy about the outcome of the games. So they become the targets of the Capitol. President Snow, played by Donald Sutherland, advises a new rule to the 75th annual games. He proposed that the only participants of the games will be victors that are still alive of each district. Which means Katniss and Peeta will be participating again. But because Katniss is loved by most of the districts a revolution is starting. Which President Snow and Plutarch, played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. An uprising of rebellion starts in the districts.

This film is very captivating and entertaining throughout. I have not read any of the books and I still know exactly what is going on, and I have a clear picture of what is to come in the next two films. Jennifer Lawrence is spectacular and beautiful. She is becoming one of the most well-known actresses mainly because she is great at what she does, I am really excited to see her in the new film, "American Hustle." Josh Hutcherson is also a very good actor, he is not blowing up as much as Jennifer Lawrence but he is very good in this series. This film is a lot more edgier and cruel, but it also has romance and betrayal. So it has everything for everyone. It is a great series, that really plays with your head about entertainment and how we rely on it to stay stable. Go see these films.
