1)Social net work.
I thought the movie was very good. It made you think of how a simple idea could make you become a multimillionaire. I thought the story line was easy to follow and liked that it was based on true facts. I liked how the story line dealt with his rise to fame and the decline of a friend ship. Also, i thought the characters felt very realistic and could relate to them in real life.


2)True Grit


This was a great movie because of the dialog and great action. Thought the film there were many scenes that were filled with action and kept me wondering what will happen next. I really thought Rooster Cogburn played his role as perfectly and, kept the film exciting, I thought it was funny that the sheriff thought he was a good Carpenter but built his house very poorly.


3) Toy Story 3
I cant help but like this movie because it brings back memories of toy story 1 from my child hood. I found this movie to be much more emotional then my memories of the other two movies. Perhaps i was too young watching the other films to fully under stand the emotional intent. At the end i was surprised that it has such a sad ending, i would think this would be upsetting to some young children as the toys end up in the trash and are being sent ti the incinerator


4)The kings speech


Over all this movie was excellent, Collin Firth played the king and his acting was impeccable. The relationship between the speech therapist and the king was so touching. At first he did not want anything to do with the therapist and in the end they became best friends. Although the two of them were very different, they were able to connect at deep level, something that rarely occurred during that time period. The set and the historical settings were very accurate and gave you a great insight to the time period.



5) Inception


This film was not rated as high as the others because I found it to be somewhat dull. Although it was suppose to be an action film, I did not find it exciting. The storyline seemed to drag on and it was hard for me to feel excited about the the son taking over his fathers business. They planted an idea in the kids head and the intention was to show the kid that his dad never actually liked him so that he shuts down the business. Overall, it was jut not my type of movie. I guess some may have found the storyline interested but I did not.



6) Winters Bone


Boring! This film had not action. It seemed like it was just a film about a women walking everyplace with no real point. Although she was trying to find her dad he was found dead. The run - meth town int the middle of no where was not presented well in my opinion. I was so bored with the film that I really didn't care if she found her dad or not. Overall, I would never recommend this film to anyone.
