Trouble with the Curve Movie Review

Trouble with the Curve Movie Review

Doesn't it seem like Clint Eastwood has been making movies for hundreds of years? Trouble with the curve is a movie about a father who is a baseball scout and his daughter that is a lawyer. The premise of the movie is about their relationship and the two of them growing closer through baseball. Clint Eastwood is they only reason I saw this film. The last film from him I saw was Gran Torino and I remember loving it. In addition I enjoyed all of the actors in this film and feel they were perfectly chosen. Clint Eastwood is very good in this film as he does his usual tough guy role. He actually has comedic timing in moments that are meant to be serious that makes this film even better. Amy Adams also performs very well in this film. She played Clint Eastwood's daughter and her emotion she brought was something I wasn't used to seeing from her. That is considering that I've only seen her in the Muppet's film which wasn't that serious of a role. Generally most films about baseball are good and this one is no exception. The overall story is really great and emotion. Showing how baseball brought a daughter closer to her father and gave them things they had in common. This story also shows how some of the old ways of doing things are better than the way computers do it. One line from the film that really sticks with you is "A computer can't tell you what a kids got" it just hits you in a place that is indescribable. In conclusion Trouble with the Curve is an moving story. Some people I've heard from said it was a bit predictable. I agree with this but one really important part of the film had me shocked. I'm giving this film a 6 out of 10. Clint Eastwood gives it eight points automatically but Justin Timberlake brings it down two points sadly. This film would be good for a rainy day or a late night that TV sucks like a Sunday night or Saturday night. I would recommend this film to anyone but its not really for everyone because if you can't understand the message being portrayed then you probably won't enjoy it.

Brave Movie Review

Brave Movie Review  

Brave was the first Pixar movie I have seen in years the last being Toy Story 3. Brave is about a young princess named Marida who doesn't want to be a princess but wants to be herself. Because of this she has a fight with her mother who wants her to get married and become a princess like her. The first thing we all think is what kind of name is Marida? I know its not a normal Disney name like Belle or Ariel and she is the second red head that Disney has had. I can imagine the artist sitting in a room thinking what is this girl going to look like? Lets see she fires arrows, rides a horse and has a quick temper, red head she has to be a red head. In addition the voice acting in this film was done extremely well. Pixar always picks the best people for the job and this is apparent in this film. Everyone has an authentic Scottish accent, assuming that the characters are Scottish. Billy Connolly does the voice of Marida's father Fergus and he does a really good Job in this film. Their is one part part where he has to sing and not saying he can sing but it sounded okay. All of these actors did really impressive jobs because you can hear the emotion in the voices of the characters they are portraying. Also probably the most important thing in any animated movie is how it looks and Brave looks really impressive. From the mountains to the trees and the water Brave is extremely well drawn. Just a quick Idea for Disney a brave roller coaster would be awesome just saying. In conclusion Pixar does it again. They never fail to impress me with their artistry and their ability to tell a story that is entertaining and family friendly. Finding a movie that is entertaining for all ages is really hard to do but Pixar seems to have that combination every time. I'm giving Brave a 7 out of 10 because it has a good story about a  mother and daughter learning to understand each other and presents some action and comedy for all to enjoy . If your wondering what to watch on a Friday night and have mixed ages of children or your an adult and can't pick one. Then why not give Brave a try.
