Polar Express

Polar Express is an animated movie. It is about a boy, the voice of Tom Hanks, who is doubting whether or not Santa is a real person. He boards a train with about ten other kids on it. The conductor of the train tells them that they are going to the North Pole. The boy still doubting doesn't believe the conductor or the other kids. On the train ride the boy meets a couple different people and in the end believes in Santa.

This is my favorite Christmas movie and I think that it proves a really good point, to never stop believing. I would recommend it to anyone.

Secretariat is about Penny Chenery Tweedy ,Diane Lane, an how she takes over her fathers horse reacing farm after he ecomes really sick. At  the beggining of the movie Penny must decide to keep or sell the farm, while trying to make this decision one of her fathers racings mares has a colt and she decides to race it. She hires the best horse trainer and rider and soon the horse becomes a big name.

I liked this movie a lot because it showed how much will power Penny had, she also didn't want anyone to tell her that she couldne't do something. It was a heart warming movie, and you couldn't help to smile at the end of the movie.

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. This movie follows the same story line as the Disney's Alice in Wonderland. For the people who have not watched the Disney's Alice in Wonderland, it is about a girl who follows a rabbit and falls down a hole into another world. It tells of her many adventures in Wonderland.

I really enjoyed this movie I thought that it was a lot like the original except for it didn't have any singing. It also seemed to be a lot more scary than I had remember it being. Over I really thought that it was a great movie and would recommend it to most anyone.

August Rush

August Rush. The movie consists of actors Freddie Highmore known in the movie as Evan Tyler. His birth mother ,Keri Russell, and his birth farther, Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Evan Tyler runs away from his adoption center and ends up meeting up with Robin Williams character Maxwell Wallace better known to the kids as Wizard. This movie is about a little boy ,Evan Tyler, who through music finds his mother and father and ends up bringing them all together.

My favorite part of this movie is how the little boy knows that his parents are looking for him even though everyone tells him that they aren't. It is also neat how everyone else has so many plans and goals for this little boy and the only thing he really wants to do is be united with his parents. Over all I thought it was an amazing movie and would recommend it to anyone.
