The Ron Clark Story

I wasn't expecting to like it to be honest, but I thought it was quite good. Matthew Perry did a great job, I wouldn't mind seeing it again. I'm sort of a sucker for these kind of movies. Like the Freedom Writers, which was also really good, in my opinion. Although, I usually don't watch movies that actually are said to be comedies, I decided to watch this one and I didn't regret it one bit.

If you're a fan of Matthew Perry or just like serious yet funny movies, I strongly suggest The Ron Clark Story.

The Transporter

Loved the fight scenes. Got me excited from the very beginning. Problem arises, he has to solve it. It's your typical action-crime film. The effects were great and I loved the stunts. Jason Statham, the actor that played the main character, really fit the role. I'd say it's a little bit like James Bond, but shorter and a little more "ninja" fighting style.

If you're into action, crime, and even a little bit of romance, I would definitely suggest this movie.

Little Shop of Horrors

I just finished watching it, I borrowed it from a friend. It was quite good! Steve Martin was my favorite, to be honest. It's a real corny 80's movie. I loved the plants voice and the music was great. Great way to make something that morbid, that funny. Even Bill Murray plays a part in the Little Shop of Horrors. He's the masochist patient of the dentist, Steve Martin. It put a funny twist to a really strange story line.

If you're a black comedy and 80's kind of person don't waste another second! Go out and rent it! :D

Billy Elliot

I went in thinking I was going to watch some really boring movie about a boy who loved dancing, and nothing more. I really underestimated this movie. It was extraordinary! Sure, a lot of people thought he was actually gay, but he even says it himself, "I may like ballet dancing, but it doesn't mean I'm a puff" (literally in those words to his actually gay friend).
I liked it so much that I was thinking about renting it out and watching it again. It's much more than just dancing; there's a strike going on, his mothers death, his brother getting arrested, his friend being gay, his father not allowing him to dance etc. To be honest, it was a little bit of a comedy. A few things they say are really funny and in one particular scene a girl asks him if he wants to see her "fanny".
Overall it was an amazing movie.

It has a hint of everything; Comedy, drama, death, dance and even romance. I would suggest this to anyone that's mature [enough to understand that he likes to dance, he's not just plain gay] and likes a little bit of everything in their movies.

Spiderman 3

Outstanding effects! I've always been a fan of the Spiderman series but wow! They've always managed to keep me on the edge of my seat and this one was no exception!
I screamed like a little girl when I saw Ted Raimi in it! It's the little Xena fan in me. I got all excited when I saw that Sam Raimi, Ted's brother, was one of the producers.
None of the scenes were unnecessary, which surprisingly seems to happen in quite a few movies. The story line was amazing and so was the acting.

If you like action/super hero movies (and are a fan of the Spiderman series, like me) this is definitely the movie to see.

The Notebook

Holy crap did that make me cry. More than once.
I wasn't surprised that I cried, though. I cry in a lot of movies, and this one was no exception.
I'll admit, parts of the story were very predictable, yet even though I knew what was going to happen, it didn't keep me from smiling or crying, in some cases.
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this movie; Drama and romance doesn't exactly say "watch me, you'll enjoy it" to me. However, I loved it, and it kind of makes me feel like a hopeless romantic, but if that's what I am, then so be it.

It's definitely a movie for those of you that love romance and conflict. If you're one of those people that would cry at movies, I guarantee, you will cry while watching this one.
