The Godfather

The Godfather was released on March 24, 1972. It is a film about the Italian mafia in America. It shows what they will do to protect the family business at all costs. It has one three Oscar awards plus nineteen others and seventeen nominations. A very famous quote from the movie is "an off you can't refuse". The Godfather is number two on IMDB top 250 list.

In The Godfather there seems to be some religious similarities. The main one that really sticks out to me is how Don Carlone is like God to his family. The whole family revolves around him and if something happens to him there is trouble. The family also looks up to him. It is because he is the one in charge and does everything he can to protect the ones that are loyal to him.

When I watched The Godfather I had a really hard time trying to concentrate. I just had no interest in the film. I knew it was a classic and that I should watch it but I had better things on my mind at the time. The only thing I was really looking forward to was this scene where someone gets badly beaten up. I know, I know, I'm a disgusting, horrible person. I had someone tell me about that scene and I really wanted to see how bad she gets beaten. Let me just say this, that man should get the electric chair. I don't care if your in the mafia or if your the f-ing president, you don't beat a pregnant woman. What the h*ll goes through your mind while dong that. Not only are you harming your wife but your unborn child. Your harming that precious child. It is just a movie but still. It makes me so angry I just wanna kick that Carlo Rizzo in the nuts.

For me this move was defiantly not one of my top favorites. Maybe if I would have been able to concentrate better I would have liked it. My opinion otherwise I thought the movie was great for its time and had a good storyline. It is a classic so I give this movie 3.5 Godfather out of 5.

Hairspray

Hairspray was released in 2007. It has a huge cast of well know actors. They include John Travolta, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walker, Nikki Blonsky, Queen Latifah, and Elijah Kelly. Hairspray is a musical adapted from the Broadway musical Hairspray.

Hairspray is about a chubby girl in the 60's that believes in segregation and her dreams. She knows she can do anything that she puts her heart into. She is willing to go to jail just to allow black and white people to be able to dance together.

Hairspray is the type of movie that makes you just want to get up and dance. When Hairspray first came out I fell in love with it. I watched probably over twenty times just after I got it. Hairspray was different from other musicals that I had seen because it was placed in the 60's and was about how some people just didn't want to accept black people into there lives. The music in this movie was very up beat and fun. Plus Zac Efron is pretty good looking. I rate this movie 8 60's hairspray cans out of 10.

Grease

Grease was released in 1978. It stars the famous John Travolta and Olivia John Newton as Danny and Sandy. Grease was a musical about two teenagers from different groups falling love. Sandy would change for Danny and he would change for her.

A few years after Grease was released the producers thought that Grease 2 would be a hit. Although it starred Michelle Pfeiffer it flopped at the box office. It too was a musical but was not a huge success like the first.

When it comes to musicals I am quite the fan. Grease was one of the first musicals I ever watched and it is my favourite. I can watch it over and over and never get bored of it. I love the fact that it is based in the 50's and the music is great. Plus it helps how cute John Travolta is as the leader of the T-Birds. Hopefully one day I will get to see Grease on Broadway as it is one of my dreams. That shows how much I love the movie. I give this movie 5 Pink Ladies out of 5.

The Baby Formula

The other night while I was suppose to be doing homework I started to watch this movie with my mom. It was called The Baby Formula. It was about these married lesbian couple that wanted to have children. Now they didn't want an adopted child or one that came from a sperm donor. They wanted a baby that came from both of them. Now I know your thinking well that's impossible, well not in this movie. Anyways they get pregnant with each others babies. The movie goes through their lives while they are pregnant and shows the ups and downs they go through.



Not only is this movie Canadian but so are some of the actors. When this movie first came on the television I was quite intrigued by it. So mom and I decided to watch it and I'm glad we did. This movie was so amazing. It made me cry and laugh. It really shows that everyone wants the same things in life and no matter what you just want whats best.



I recommend this movie for everyone to watch. It really shows that even if you are gay or lesbian then you are no different from any one else. I really got emotional from this movie and the actors were amazing, especially Jessica Booker. She was so funny. She played the granny of Athena and its funny because she was completely different from her daughter Wanda. Granny would drink "ice tea" and say the funniest things. Oh I had a good laugh. I give this movie a rating of 10 drunk Granny's out of 10

Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson was born on May 13, 1986 in London, England. He is well known for his role as Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga. He was also in two of the Harry Potter movies; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He went from nothing to something practically over night.

Now you may think with all this talk about Robert Pattinson that I would like him, however that isn't the case. I find Robert Pattinson a horrible actor and an awkward person. I once seen him on Much Music and he seemed so out of place. His expression on his face was as if he didn't know what to do and his body language was very closed. You could tell he felt uncomfortable, either that or he is just really weird. When I watched Twilight the only thing I could think of was how girls my age could find him so good looking. Everything about him is off including his acting and apparently some people find this man to be sexy, well guess what, you should go to the eye doctor. He looks a little bit above average if he's lucky.

I guess if you like Robert Pattinson and he is your favorite actor in your favorite movie I'm sorry for my opinion on him. I'm sure you find this offensive but its my opinion. Robert Pattinson sucks. I just can't stand him or any movie really that he is in, especially the Twilight Saga movies. My rating of his acting abilities is 1 ugly vampire out of 5.
