Into the Wild is a movie about Christopher McCandless, a young guy whose family is upper class, well off; but he wants something else. He donates his 24k dollars of Harvard money from his savings, all of it, to Oxfam, and then leaves his life to travel cross country towards his dream of living for a while alone in Alaska. On his way, he meets some strange characters, and has some wild times. Once he reaches alaska, he finds an abandoned bus which he nicknames "the magic bus" and lives in it, using it as a home base. He hunts and fishes, sometimes unsuccessfully, but once he decides to return to civilization, he can't cross the river to get back, so he stays...but after 100 days, his food is dwindling, and he eats some poisonous plants by accident and slowly starts to die. His body is found, months afterwards, along with is diaries and the incredible story of his journey, and everything he endured.

Reviews > Movies > Duplex

Duplex. Boy, oh boy. Ben Stiller as an unpopular writer who gets his "dream home" only to find out that it's a duplex and that a crazy old lady lives upstairs. She (the old lady) is incredibly annoying, and always has loud movies on, and music, and generally wears out Ben Stiller's character and his wife. Eventually, they start trying to actually kill the old woman (it's a comedy, though, so don't worry.) They even hire an assassin to knock her off. Eventually, they get their happy ending, but not the way you might think. Goo ahead and watch it (if you haven't yet) if you want to see what happens. My rating: 4 stars. Alright Duplex!

Reviews > Movies > I Am Legend

I Am Legend...where to start? This has to be one of the most amazing movies I've seen in a while. With fantastic effects, a brilliant storyline, and fast-paced action combined with smooth character development, all I can say is...wow. The film is mainly about Dr. Robert Neville, a lone man who is one of the only survivors of a horrible cure-gone-wrong which killed or zombiefied nearly all the world's population. He is somehow immune to the virus and tries to test different cures based off his own blood. None of them seem to work, and he is at his breaking point when suddenly hope for the future shines forth. What happens next? Don't ask me, watch it for yourself. My rating:
