Psycho

Psycho is a really good Hitchcock movie, the movie is up there with Rear Window and The Birds.
The movie is about a girl named Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) who had to take money to the bank. Instead she drives away not knowing where. In the middle of the night she stays at a motel in the middle of nowhere. Soon she goes missing and no one knows what happened to her.
This movie is a bit more obvious than Hitchcock's other films.  He doesn't normally just show the guy with the knife but that does not put this movie down. Actually this might be one of the best knife and blood films of all time, with the shower scene and the very well done story line......... surely a golden Hitchcock

With the video be carful to turn the volume down a little.

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

This movie is one of Clint Eastwood's best.  It is very cleverly done. It starts with a handful of separate stories. They don't just come together at the end of the movie they come together all through the movie. The main stars are Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef and who could forget the very well known Clint Eastwood.
This movie is really good for a lot of reasons like:
  • Clint Eastwood
  • the handful of stories,
  • the great Italian cast 
  • and also the amount of deaths in this movie. 
It is not like all the shoot em ups they have now, this movie was made in the 60's and only has about 3 or 4 deaths.

Cliffhanger

Cliffhanger is one of those boring and pathetic action movies.
The movie is about Gabe Walker (Sylvester Stallone) who is a part of a  mountain patrol team. One day he fails to save a lady as she falls to a long death. This makes Gabe think twice about his job. While all that is happening some guys in planes are trading some things in the middle of flight (very weird I know) but the money happens to fall and land in the moutains and their plane crashes, so they get the patrol team up to help. Gabe gets convinced to go up, but soon finds that he is finding there money for them or he will lose his life.
Cliffhanger is crap. My advice, get Rocky or Rambo instead.

Hey Hey Its Esther Blueburger

This movie is probably one of the best teenage chick flicks ever made, belive it or not.
The movie is about a nerd that nobody knows, Esther Blueburger (Danielle Catanzariti) who meets another individual but not quiet the nerdish type, Sunni (Keisha Castle-Hughes). They become really good friends and Esther has no friends at her school and when she meets Sunni who is a very comfortable, popular girl, they become friends and Esther starts going to Sunni's school without her parents knowing. Sunni suddenly becomes very popular and in doing so, focuses on acting 'cool' and forgets about being nice and caring.
This movie is really good and it shows how people who think differently and do things differently can still be friends.

Where The Wild Things Are

The movie is about a wild kid named Max (Max Records).  His parents are divorced and his mum and sister have no time for him. One night Max runs away to an island where he finds the Wild Things and soon becomes one himself.  The director puts the kid in his mum's shoes having to deal with the Wild Things which are more out of control then he is.
The director got counfused on who the audience was for this film.  Its a kids theme presented in an adult way.  There is not much action, lots of talking and the colours are dull brown,black and white.  This movie is boring for kids.
