"Fellowship of the Ring" is part one of a 3 part movie serious of "The Lord of The Rings." This movie was directed by Peter Jackson. It stars Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis, Ian Mckellen, Orlando Bloom, and Sean Austin.
I really liked this movie. This was the first time I had ever seen a "Lord of the Rings" movie. I did like the plot and the idea of using mythical creatures and made up countries. It was very interesting and always had me wondering what was gonna happen next. I didnt like the ending of the movie though. The movie ended as a cliff-hanger and I hate those.
The movie is relevant because it teaches us about friendship. The friendship that Sam and Frodo have is unbreakable. Sam promises Gandolf that he will never leave Frodo. When Frodo tries to leave Sam nearly drowns because he is trying to chase after Frodo. The hobbits have a great love between each other. So in the end, it is relevant because it teaches us a lesson about friendship and how its important.

Harvey
"Harvey" is a comedy movie that was directed by Henry Koster in 1950. The movie stars James Stewart as "Mr.Elwood", Josephine Hall as "Veta Louise", Peggy Dow as "Miss Kelly.", Charles Drake as "Dr. Lyman Sanderson", and Cecil Kellaway as Dr. "Chumley."
I kind of liked this movie. It seemed a little bit silly. I mean really, a six foot three inch, invisible, rabbit? I wish that we could have seen the rabbit in the movie. I also would have liked it if it would have been in color, instead of black and white. But I still found this movie interesting. It kept me interested throughout the whole movie.
I think that the rabbit was real. The proof of it being real is in the movie. The doors open up and the wallets were stolen. Dr. Chumley saw him and so did Veta Louise. So Mr. Elwood was not the only one to see Harvey.

Grapes of Wrath
"The Grapes of Wrath" is based off the book written by John Steinbeck. The movie was directed by John Ford. The movie stars Henry Fondra as "Tom Joad", Jane Darewell as Ma Joad, and John Carradine as "Casy."
I really liked this movie. I thought it was really good even though it was in black and white. I liked the historical background in the movie. It had a great plot, and I believe Henry Fondra was the perfect actor to play Tom Joad. Tom was my favorite Character because he never let anyone tell him what to do, and he was very independent.
There are a few things that I did not like about the movie as well. I do not really like black and white movies that well because I believe that a movie with color. With color, the person watching the movie can see things or objects in a different perspective. I also did not like the ending of the movie. The movie just left us hanging and had a dumb ending. It doesn't specify where Tom or the family ended up.

Raiders of The Lost Ark
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was directed by Stephen Spielburg. It was produced by George Lucas, the man who produced "Star Wars." The movie stars Harrison Ford as "Indiana Jones", Karren Allan as "Marion", and Paul Freeman as "Dr. Rene Belloq."
I really liked this movie. This was my first "Indiana Jones" movie that I had ever seen. I have seen Harrison Ford in "Star Wars" earlier this year. He is a great actor. I liked the plot and how he had to battle his rival, Dr. Belloq, throughout the whole movie. The movie had numerous historic and Biblical references such as Hitler and the Nazi's, and the Ten Commandments in the Bible.
The things that I didnt like about this movie was the graphics. In some scenes the graphics and animation wasn't as great as the movies today. For example, when the souls came out and killed the Nazi's when they opened the covenant, I think that the animation could have been a little bit better.

Favorite/Least Favorite Movies
We watched many movies this semester. My two favorite movies that we watched this semester were "Gladiator" and "Something Like It Hot." My two least favorite movies that we watched were "Fantastic Voyage" and "Mister Roberts."
Gladiator is one of my favorites because I had never seen it before and it stood out from all the other movies that we watched. I loved Russell Crow's character and the plot of the movie. I really liked the action in the movie as well. "Something Like It Hot" is considered one of my favorites because I really like Marilyn Monroe. She is so pretty and hot. I thought the movie was hilarious because two of the guys in the movie, had to dress up and pretend to be a girl.
"Fantastic Voyage" is considered one of my least favorite movies because the whole movie seemed really stupid. I mean there is no way that a ship could be shrunk into a size that can go throughout the whole human body. The graphics were really bad due to when the movie was made. The body parts in the movie didn't even look realistic. "Mister Roberts" is one of my least favorite movies because it was really boring and almost put me to sleep, everyday we watched it. The whole movie takes place on a boat and nothing really happens throughout the whole movie. They just hangout on the boat. There is no action in the movie, which to me, makes it less interesting.

Its A Wonderful Life
"It's a Wonderful Life" is a drama made in 1946. The movie was a flop when it played in 1946. The movie stars James Stewart as "George Bailey", Donna Reed as "Mary Hatch", Samuel S. Hinds as "Peter Bailey", and Lionel Barrymore as "Mr.Potter."
I really liked this movie. I liked how they made the whole movie out of a flashback. Even though it was made in black and white, I still believe it was a great movie. I like James Stewart and believes he is a great actor, even in the previous movies we watched of him.

Sound of Music
The "Sound of Music" is a musical that was filmed in 1965. In 1965, it won Academy Awards for "Best pictures", "Best director", and "Best Sound." The movie stars Julie Andrews as "Maria Von Trapp", Christopher Plummer as "Captain Von Trapp", Eleanor Parker as "Baroness", and "Richard Haydn as "Max Detweiler."
I really liked this movie. I usually do not like musicals, but I liked this one. I had never seen this movie before but I have heard of it before. I liked the plot and how Captain Von Trapp did not like Maria at first but the fell in love with after realizing her personalities and relationship with the kids. I also liked how the movie had historical references to World War Two.
