Jason Foldes (jrfoldes)

If you go see this movie I would highly recommend wearing a wig, sunglasses and a fake beard. Plus don something that you would normally not wear. Don't overdue it though you don't want to look like one of those perverts. Actually I recommend everyone heed my advice because after seeing this movie you may want to ever deny being there. Getting a solid alibi might work as well.

Okay so the saga continues and now we have werewolves in the mix. Yet again the complete take on the mythology is ignored. I'm sorry but I do recall reading somewhere that they only come out on a full moon. Hmm vampires that glow in sunlight and werewolves who can transform at will, what's next Bigfoot is actually a sea turtle?

Despite it's many flaws (and I mean many) there are two key themes that should be taken from this movie. First if you ever feel suicidal please get help immediatly. Living in depression is not going to help. You are not alone and your thoughts could be deeper psychological issues. There is no shame in getting help or going to a shrink. Take pride that you are doing what's best for you. I'm BIPOLAR and although I have my moments I know that getting help can be the best thing. Second everyone listen very closely to Jacob's speech about the werewolf being apart of who he is. This is an unprecedented parallel to a speech one would give of being homosexual. If you are a fan of the books/Jacob Black and a homophobe you are obviously brainwashed and ignore the bigger issues in life.

Although I may never have a repeat viewing of the movie let's face it the franchise is here to stay. Despite my lack of understanding of the phenomenon and the fact they film the movie in my neighbourhood is just adding insult to injury. We still need to respect the fans. Now if you'll excuse me Cameron Bright who plays vampire Alec lives down the street from me, I'm going to be egging and TPing his house.

Don't ask me why but this is the second movie I've reviewed starring Jason Dolley which is getting a good review. The first being Minutemen. Either the boy has a good agent, or is getting luck of the draw.

Yeah it is a typical Disney TV movie, but it certainly is one of the better ones recently. There is no real antagonist in the film as it focuses on the theme of man versus himself. The title character Pete (Jason Dolley) never gets noticed -- even his teachers think he's a stranger to school -- but when his best friend Cleatus (Mitchell Musso) cannot perform his duties as school mascot (due to an allergic reactions from the suit) he takes his place. The result finds Pete as "The Chicken" becoming an overnight sensation with Cleatus getting all the credit. Inevitably through happinstance everyone learns that Cleatus is not the man under the feathers, but the same question is on everyone's lips who is The Chicken? Yes the movie does involve the usual attempt to get the girl, and an obstacle does present itself that the heroes have to overcome, but it is done in a fun and original way.

If there is a main theme here it is most definetly friendship. This is a movie the whole family can enjoy. Frankly when children grow into their tweens, this film is a good introduction to the more age appropriate themes.

A powerful film. What more can be said? Based on the book of the same name, To Kill A Mockingbird is set in the American south in a time when the black community is still not seen as equals to the whites. When a black man is accused of raping a white girl the town is set into turmoil and a lone unbiased well respected publice defender must take a case he know he is going to lose even though the evidence suggest his client is innocent. Although most people look towards the trial as the main plot of the film it is in reality the story that follows the young stars that take centre stage. The film is told through the eyes of young Scott Finch who recounts that faithfull summer when her father Atticus took on the case and when her older brother Jem and their mutual friend were trying to make the resident neighbourhood recluse, Boo Radley come out of his forced housearrest. Perhaps one of the greatest fictional stories ever told this dilm has a lot going for it, and when we do finally meet Boo we can't help but cheer at his heroic actions and the sacrifice Atticus and the town sheriff were willing to make so he does not face further punishment. Gregory Peck won an Oscar for his role as Atticus and it was a performance that will forever go down in film history as memorable. Although I strongly recommend watching this movie, reading the novel first is perhaps a better as you begin to appreciate the film more.

If ever there was a better person in the 20th century it was Oscar Shindler. If ever there was a movie that was worthwhile to tell his story and do justice to one of the horrors of World War Two, then it is Shindler's List. This movie is by far one of the best films ever created. Spielberg stand up and take a bow. After viewing this movie we can actually see how realistic the fear many of our grandparents and great grandparents had to go through in their lives, regardless if they were Jewish or not. The stories were one thing, the pictures another, but to actually see such horrors can make one sick to their stomach which nearly rivals actually being there. Seeing many of those horrific scenes I reminded myself how bad the mental torture would have been, not knowing whether you were going to live or die, simply because of your faith. This was a time where heroes rose in the most unlikely of places, as did Oscar Shindler. In retrospect this movie proves that we can find heroes in the most unlikely of places at the most unlikely of times. We should all take the quote mentioned in the movie from the Talmud to heart "He who saves one life saves the world entire".
