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.

Time Traveler's Wife

Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana star in The Time Traveler's Wife. Bana stars as a Chicago librarian who has a gene who makes him travel through through time. McAdams falls in love with Bana and they end up getting marrried. While they are married McAdams is always waiting aroung for Bana to travel back and forth through different ages of time. During all of this they end up having a child together. The little girl has the same gene that her father has. She travels to the future and sees that her father is going to die. This movie is a drama.
What I like most about this movie is that McAdama character still loves Bana's character even though they cannot always be together and the fact that both the little girl and the father have such a close bond because they both are time traveler's. I think that this movie is not a typical drama and it really keeps you wondering what is going to happean next.

Lovely Bones

The lovely Bones is about a little girl and her fathers struggle to find her killer. The little girl in this movie loves to take pictures her family doesn't have much money so she is only allowed to develope one roll of film a month. The family doesn't realize it at first but the same man keeps appearing in the photos. This man is the man that ends up killling the little girl. She comes back from the dead to help her father find her killer.

The best part of this movie is when the cops and the family finally figure out who the man is that killed the little girl. This movie is very different than most movies. It has an unusual point of view coming from the girl who is already dead. I also liked how the father was not willing to give uo the fight even though most of the other people already had.

My Sister's Keeper

My sister’s keeper is about a family that has a daughter who has leukemia and has been fighting leukemia cancer most of her life. The family also has a younger daughter who is healthy and has been giving her older sister all the organs she has needed. So in a way they had the younger daughter so she could give her sister all her vital organs. The younger daughter ends up suing the parents for rights to her body and the parents are in shock. What ends up happening you would never expect to happen.


My favorite part of the movie is when the youngest daughter goes in to talk to the lawyer. She hands him all the papers and he looks at her in astonishment. He can’t believe this little girl is so serious about suing her parents. Once he starts to read the story he realizes this little girl has a real fighting chance at winning. Over all I thought the movie was very touching and really tugged on the heart strings.
