"Breaking Bad" Will Be Missed
"Breaking Bad" will be missed. Last night, was the end of "Breaking Bad" the hit AMC show, that was viewed by millions worldwide. This show is considered one of the best drama series ever put on television, mainly for the writing, the directing, the cinematography, and the beautiful acting by each and every cast member. The series finale last night was extremely satisfying, mainly because it answered most of the questions that viewers had about the last season. It was a finale that did not have a giant cliffhanger, because it had so much questions to answer. This show will be marked as one of the best shows ever put on television, and everybody should watch.

"Groundhog's Day" is One of the Best Dark Comedies
"Groundhog's Day" is a great film for dark comedy. It has Phil, played by Bill Murray, a weatherman but doing a story on Groundhog Day. He travels to Pennsylvania to see if the famous Groundhog will see his shadow this year. After his story, things start to turn for the worse. His life keeps repeating the same day over and over. He does not know how to figure out this out, and he tries to figure it out because everyday he falls in love with the same woman, Rita, played by Andie MacDowell. Phil has to figure out this before he loses the love of his life.
This film is great mainly because of Bill Murray. He is an incredible actor that has been around for decades. This is a dark comedy, and he is extremely funny in this film. He really shows that he is one of the best actors of all time, mainly because he can play in dramatic roles and comedic roles. He is the reason why this film is so great. It is a little slow, but as the film progresses we see he is trapped and we want to see what happens. Go see it!
Grade = 82/100 = B-

"Midnight Cowboy" is a Great Film That Changed the Film Industry Forever
"Midnight Cowboy" is a great film that changed the film industry forever. It has Joe Buck, played by Jon Voight, going to New York. He is a Texas Cowboy trying to start new from his terrible past we learn later in the film. He tries to become a male prostitute in New York. Trying to find any woman off the street, to pay for his services. He is a very naïve man who is trying to start fresh. He then meets a man, named Rizzo, played by Dustin Hoffman. Rizzo is a man trying to get by with the little money he has, but tries to help Joe. He wants to help Joe and become friends with him because he is very lonely, and Joe does not have friends in the city, and he tries to become friends with him. As the movie progresses, we see their friendship becoming a brotherhood.
This film is amazing and it reflects how things were in the late 60s, early 70s. It really has a lot of commentary about the American Dream, sexuality, and relationships in general. What helps the movie gain its credibility as great, is the acting and also the storytelling. Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight were spectacular together and they really deserved their nominations. Both roles were very controversial and emotional and they did a great job for this movie. The directing and writing coming together beautifully also made this film amazing. The film explains the friendship of Joe and Rizzo but also explains the past of Joe's together very well. Everything flowed very well, for a movie that had two story lines going on at once. This movie needs to be viewed very closely to fully understand the undertones of the film, but it is very good. Please watch it!
Grade = 92/100 = A-

"Kramer vs. Kramer" is Legendary
"Kramer vs. Kramer" is a great film, even today. It has Ted Kramer, played by Dustin Hoffman, and his wife, Joanna, played by Meryl Streep. The Kramers are going through this marriage every day at a time, until Joanna decides to leave Ted and their son, Billy, played by Justin Henry. Ted is forced to take care of his son alone while they settle their divorce. This was one of the first times a father was taking care of their children as a single parent. So he did not know exactly what to do, but he loved him, and did not like how Joanna was acting. They have to deal with this terrible circumstance.
This film deserves a lot of credit because it did win many awards. Meryl Streep won for Best Supporting Actress and Dustin Hoffman won for Best Actor. Also, Jane Alexander and Justin Henry were nominated for supporting actress and supporting actor. It also won Best Picture. Dustin Hoffman was spectacular in this film, like most of his roles. He is an incredible actor and really is one of the best ever put on screen. Also, Meryl Streep might be the best actress ever put on film. Almost every single role she was received, she received an Oscar nomination. Some people might say, she got nominated because she is Meryl Streep but she is spectacular. This film is great go see it.

"Girl, Interrupted" is a Great Film Starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie.
"Girl, Interrupted" is a great film starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. It tells the true story Susanna Kaysen, played by Winona Ryder. She checks herself into a mental hospital after a suicide attempt. She is a troubled teen trying to figure out things for herself. She meets a few residents in the hospital all trying to get better. We meet a girl named Lisa, played by Angelina Jolie. She is a one of the trouble makers that tries to escape a lot. All of the women in the hospital are troubled and are trying to get better for their boyfriends, their families, and mostly themselves.
This film is great mainly because the great acting by the women. Winona Ryder does a great job in this film as the main character. She is fantastic in almost every role, I am a huge fan of hers mainly because of Reality Bites. Jared Leto, and Brittany Murphy were great minor characters. Jared Leto is a very talented person being a singer, and an actor. His band 30 Seconds to Mars, has really become one of the most well-known rock bands out right now. Brittany Murphy was great for this role, and unfortunately she died so soon. The best part about this film though was Angelina Jolie. She won an Academy Award for her role as Lisa Rowe. She was extremely psychotic, and crazy in this film that made this film so good.
Grade = 84/100 = B
