Finding Forrester Review
Finding Forrester is about Jamal, a 16 year old black boy who lives in a bad part of the Bronx. Jamal is a very intelligent young man but does not show it because none of his friends care, Jamal is also very good at basketball. One day Jamal is dared by his group of friends to sneak into the apartment of the creepy guy that lives up there, Jamal accepts the dare and sneaks up only to get caught by the man, and runs away but leaves his book bag behind. Jamal always kept his intelligent a secret until one day he is offered a scholarship to a high class private school in Manhattan, Jamal accepts the offer. After Jamal broke in the Apartment he develops a tough love friendship with the man who lives there. Near the end of the movie, Jamal's teachers believe that he copied a story he handed in and it jeopardizes his chances in staying at the Prep School.
Gus Van Sant has directed some of the best movies in the last decade and this one is no exception. Gus had made movies such as Milk and Good Will Hunting, both these movies like Finding Forrester deal with major conflicts and over coming huge obstacles in life to try to succeed.Although the movie doesn't have a lot of main characters the performances from Sean Conney and Rob Brown are outstanding. Plus the lesser characters played by Anna Paquin and Fahrid Murray Abraham really live an imprint on you and really help develop characters and conflicts.
Finding Forrester is pretty much one of those feel good movies where you get to see someone that almost never have a chance succeed in life.So you would think that the Message is "Never Give up" or something like "Everyone needs a Chance" but a I think that the message is more so "The Definition of Family". I believe this because throughout the movie you kind out that Jamal never really ever had a father figure and Forrester hasn't had much of a family since his brother left, and once these to meet up they're basically complete opposites, but as well all know opposites do connect. They form a strong bond because they both need something and they get what they need from each other, Jamal gets a father/mentor and Forrester gets a family. It also directs the message that family doesn't always have to be biological but can just be who is there for you and who you trust, support and love.
Overall Finding Forrester is a pretty good movie with a good message and good acting. It defiantly will be worth your time to watch.

An Education
An Education is a movie that I have wanted to see for a while. Its kind of one of those coming of age movies about being young, making desisions and the relizum of young love. Its set in London, during the 1960's.
Usually this kind of movie would appeal to me but for some reason this one did, I think it first appealed to me becasue I saw both the two main actors getting interveiwed on Jinny Fallon and I really like both of them, so I went and watched the movie trailer and read the review on line and really like it!
Another reason I chose this review is becase it summed up the movie really well, without giving it all away like other reviews did. Also i went in a little more depths about the plot and everything i really wanted to know before watching the movie to understand it a little better.
I Honously dont have a favorite kind of genre, but the movie's I like the most are always the ones that havbe it all like comedy, action, thrills, drama and some romance but not too much just enough. So if I got to chose a movie to do a reveiw on I probably do An Education becasue it has most of those things in it and if I did a reveiw on it that means that I get to see it !

Activities from allpoetry.com (Bonus)
We'll I think we all know that the sky's basic color is blue but the sky changes color all the time!! The sky is sometimes
a kind of pinkish, reddish or even purplish mix in the early morning or evening. It is also sometimes grey on rainy, gloomy days. And everybody know that the sky is black at night. So saying that the sky is blue isn't always true.When the Rain Falls
I absolutely love when it rains outside! I love the calm, and the serenity that you feel when its raining out. I love nothing more than to walk around in the rain in a shirt and shorts and just soak up the water and breath in the smell, which brings me into another thing I love about it the smell. The clean and pure smell that the rain always leaves just I think is one of the best smell ever! After it rains the world always looks so much nicer like it was rejuvenated ! :)
