Extremely Loud Incredibly Close- Review

Imagine life from your perspective as a child. Everything was in detail, your feet when "pumping" on a swing, the tap water dripping, every little detail in life was magnetized to a big extent. This can prove good, or bad.

Extremely Loud Incredibly Close is a film about a boy,with a keen sense of intelligence and logic. He needs to have an explanation of everything, the world around him. His father always sets up a expedition to hunt for clues. But when his father dies in 9/11, he finds and key. He then goes on a search for the lock.

This movie is jammed packed with stars from head to toe. Tom Hanks, Thomas Horn and Sandra Bullock star, just to name a few. The acting in this movie was incredible. The role that Thomas Horn played was a very difficult role to play and he played it flawlessly. I was 100% convinced that he was the character, nothing seemed forced in his acting. I cannot stress how good the acting was, Sandra Bullock (as always) played an amazing character and portrayed the moms feelings well. Tom Hanks and Max Von Sydow were a couple of other amazing performances in the film.




The cinematography was flawless. The use of lighting and camera angles was to the fullest extent. These shots, expressed so much feeling and emotions and really gave you the story in the point of view of the kid, it added so much and created so much messages in the movie.


The only thing I didn't really like was the boys character. I found it was really hard to sympathize with him and relate to what he was going through by his actions. The way he spoke to adults some of the time was just awful. He was so bossy and had some really weird traits.


Another thing was , there wasn't really a target audience for this movie. I mean to say is that it would only attract a certain audience. The theme, is too mature for kids. I have to warn you, there are some really mature parts. This kid has some real issues, that I wouldn't recommend a kid to watch. The storyline, is pretty mature but it has that kiddy ,charm to it, so it will only attract a certain amount of adults. I can guarantee you, if you cry a lot, you will cry your head off during this movie. 


Overall, Extremely Loud Incredibly Close is a great movie. Its like one of those math tests, prefect, but there are small mistakes that didn't necessarily need to be in the movie, and that if they weren't there, would make an amazing movie. B+ 

Big Miracle Review

 Big Miracle is a film starring John Krasinski and Drew Barrymore. It is based on a true story that took place in a small town in Alaska. It is about 3 whales a mother, father and baby which are trapped in the ice and only have days to survive. Together, they spread the word to help save the whales.

Out of the wide range of movies that I have watched, Big Miracle stands out. Not just because of the interesting and true to life story, but because it is a movie that evoked all my emotions.

I was impressed with everything that this movie had to offer. It had a great plot that moved very swiftly throughout the movie. I was not bored throughout the story and it was very interesting. The film also had a very light tone to it, it didn't seem so depressing although the plot of it was a very sad idea. What I mean to say by this is that, you were not sad the whole time.

The acting was the cherry on top of a great movie. I was so impressed with everyones performance in the movie, they seemed to really put their heart and souls into the characters that they played. I was particularly impressed with Drew Barrymores performance in the movie. She played her character so well and was amazing in that role.

Big Miracle was a inspiring film. It is perfect for any type of audience from environmentalists to kids. It will make you laugh, cry and everything in between. A

I could not be happier.... Ever

So I found out that my results for my audition are coming today.... So I rushed home uttering "oh my god, oh my god" the whole time. I was so nervous to see what my results would be and was freaking out the whole time. I got home, rushed to the mailbox opened the letter and then. It was there.

I GOT IN. A wash of happiness went over me. I started to cry, I started to laugh. This was my goal for 2 years. Ever since grade 3 I wanted to be in the film industry and this has began my path! Thank you to all my readers and friends and family who have helped me get to this incredible moment. Thank you.
