9. stand by me

Stand by me is a movie about four great friends and the adventure they had once. The story is told by a narrator and it is based on an event from his life. It tells a story about a journey to find a missing dead boy's body. They set up plans to travel and find it to become heros. Chris ( River Pheonix) is the best friend of the narrator and helps support him in his goals. His brother's friend Ace ( Keifer Sutherland) harrasess and tries to find the body before him.
overall I thought that this movie was alright. I didn't really like the movie because of the story and the type of movie it was. I'm not really interested in movies about kids, or journeys about life lessons or things like that. I preffer to watch movies with action, or adventure, or comedy to make my day better. Movies that can't keep me hooked allow me to go to sleep while watching them so I don't. I disliked the attitudes of the boys in the movie. They all tried to act adult and tough which I think is extremely annoying.
Really this movie might have been considered good by another person of a different temperment. Personally I would enjoy never seeing this movie again. Someday I will possibly have a different interest in movies, and then perhaps I will enjoy this one. Besides the cheesy script, the actors in this movie are really talented. They act well and stay in character the entire time. This movie has a huge amount of great actors that help make it better than what it would be with another cast, or a cast without some of these people. River Pheonix and Keifer Sutherland were my favorite actors in the film.

8. finding nemo

Finding Nemo is an animated movie about a clown fish named Marlin who loses his son. This movie is about Marlins search to find his son Nemo. Along his way to find his son, marlin has many great adventures along with a new friend Dory. This was an amazing movie because of all of the amazing work that went into it. For its time period this movies graphics were some of the best possible that could be acheived. This movie has a great deal of excellent story line which keeps people amused for all time. This is a great movie for kids to see because of its wonderful graphics and great story about friendship.
I especially like one of the scenes where Dory and Marlin are at a meeting with the three sharks. This is a great scene because of some of the funny scripting that was written out. The colors of all the fish and enviorments were well blended and all of the computer graphics moved well to make it seem as real as possible. I think that this movie was an extreme inspiration for mostly all of the animated movies that came after it. I have to say that even though Finding Nemo was a kids movie it still had a script that could have been used in another genre of movies. The only thing that I dislike is that the moviie is about fish in the ocean. I would have preffered more reality, but for a movie that was specifically meant for kids, it was appropriate.
Overall this movie is one I enjoy everytime I watch it. It keeps me hooked on the characters it created and the storyline that drives them. The visuals that were created are amazing for what they had to work with and it helps show how far animated movies have come.

7. Iron Man

Iron Man was a phenominal movie about a man named Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) who is one of the greatest inventors in American History. The movie starts out with Stark being kidnapped by a terrorist organization in the Middle East. While in captivity Stark is forced to work on one of his greatest weapons. While working on his missile he begins plans for his eascape. Once he is free Stark starts working on a new Iron Man suit. From here on Stark vows to fix the problem he helped create with his weapons. This movie has a huge number of famous actors that contribute a great deal of wonderful acting. Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, and Gwyneth Paltrow were a huge part of what made this movie what it was. Pepper Potts (Paltrow) plays Starks long time vital assistant who Tony couldn't live without. Rhodey (Terrence Howard) plays Starks long-time friend and liason to the United States Military.
This movie has won 2 oscars and 7 other awards, along with 42 other nominations. Robert Downe Jr. won an award for actor of the yeaar, it also won an award for the summer 2008 blockbuster award. Many of the other awards it was nominated for were for it's visual effects and it's soundtrack. These just help show that the movie was extremely well put together. It brought together all of the different pieces of a movie in a way that will be able to last for a very long time.I believe that this movie is an amazing one, and it is one of my favorites. I really like the visual effects in this movie like the scene when Iron Man goes to fight terrorists in the Middle East. This scene has a great deal of visual effects that wouldn't have been possible years ago. The music in this movie was extremely good as well. All of it was well placed and picked in a way that only an experienced person could do.

Vacation. The Fast and the Furious 4

The Fast an the Furious 4 is an awesome movie about illegal street racing and other illegal activities. This is perhaps the best of all of these movies as it focuses on old school muscle cars. These where cars built to go really fast in a straight line. They didn't do too horribly around curves, but they were primarily straight-line cars. This movie uses some of the most popular and rare muscle cars in many of it's scenes. Some parts of the movie weren't actually real and this fact was obvious. The CGI used in this movie is extremely well done and the next best thing to reality. My main problem is that it kills some of the reality of the movie. On a positive note Paul Walker and Vin Diesel did do most of the driving throughout the movie. This is nice because you can get better views of the cars while they are driving.
Paul Walker and Vin Diesel team up again to help accomplish both of their goals. Though Vin both show a good deal of resentment towards Paul the two make an awesome team. Even thought Paul Walkers character is a cop he still does a great deal of illegal acts to help Vin Diesel and take down an elusive, and highly successful drug organization. There was a good deal of actors in this movie and man of them did very nice jobs exhibiting the lives of street racers. They show some characteristics of a life that fast. Overall I really enjoyed this movies intensity and drama. It displays hardcore race scenes of some of the finest cars ever made in American history. By using muscle cars this movie gave me a sense of pride in American ingenuity. It gives a glimpse into our past forms of transportation.

6. Napoleon Dynamite

Let me start this off properly, this movie is horrible. It is about a High school student named Napoleon Dynamite. He's a weird kid that almost no one will hang out with. His struggles with hiss family are also apparent here. The movie is supposed to be a comedy about his life. It shows his attempts to help his new best friend achieve his goals, and to become what he belives is cooler. I think the writer failed when he wrote this movie. If your looking for a pointless and uneventful movie than you may be able to enjoy it. I think the only good thing about this movie is that its easy to make fun of.
Napoleon dynamite was enjoyed by many people around the country. It received 10 awards and 18 nominations for best popular movie, best comedy, best first feature, best movie, breakthrough male, etc. I believe this movie was completely misjudged , and it shows that anything can make it even if it shouldn't. Someday Americans will realize that trash like this dumbs them down so they won't realize whats really going on. I'm not sure what the critics saw in this movie, but it became a huge success around the United States.
This movie for being as bad as it was ,had a lot of talent. Jon Heder and Efren Ramirez gave the best performances they can be expected to give for this movie.They really fit the nerdy 80's style that was portrayed in the movie. Jon Gries and Aaron Ruell did a great job being the weird and crazy family.These two fine actors did a great job creating the crazy, nerdy, Midwestern family that ruin Napoleons life. Although the parts they play are extremely nerdy, these men compose themselves well enough to make the characters seem believable.

5. The matrix

The Matrix is a movie about a world where robots take over. Morpheus, played by Laurence Fshburne, is searching for a hero to save humanity. On his search he finds Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, who he hopes will be able to save humanity. It is the first of a set of three and the best in my opinion. This movie has some very good actors throughout it that make it what it is. Although almost every part of this movie is unbelievable and impossible, it is still an extremely good movie to watch at least once. At the time this movie was made it had the best computer graphics at the time.
The cast of this movie was extremely well put together, and all of the actors seemed to work together extremely well. Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne put together amazing performances for the somewhat corny script they where given. Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo weaving also gave excellent performances throughout the movie.
This movie was highly awarded as i won four Oscars, 28 other wins, and 36 nominations. Some of the Oscars it won were for best visual effects, as well as best sound and editing. It also won awards for best director, an Eddie award for best feature film (dramatic), Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss also won awards for best leading actor and actress.
This movie's graphics and sound were amazing. The movie had some of the best fight scenes I have seen and it won awards for just that. What this movie lacks in a non-corny script it makes up for in multiple intense fight scenes. Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne were excellent in all of their fight scenes as they demolish those enemies that stand in their way. I would tell anyone looking for an awesome movie to watch this one.
