The Polar Express, All Aboard!

Seeing as it is the time of season, I figured it would be okay to write about this classical movie. I love this film so much. This is something that can make you smile, cry, laugh, and feel a warm feeling inside all at the same time. I would defiantly have to say this is my favorite Christmas movie. It is about a little boy that is starting to loose faith in Santa and Christmas itself. But during the night, he hears a noise in the darkness of the street. A train appears out of no where. Himself and many other little girls and boys go on many adventures on this train along with their crazy conductor. Eventually they reach the North Pole. The little boy, receives a present from Santa, something that might not mean much to anyone, but meant the world to thins little boy. He was the only one in the world to be able to experience its beautiful sound. The gift was, a bell from his sleigh.

A Very Merry Mix Up!

A Hallmark Channel original movie, Alice Chapmen is nervous about meeting her new family seeing is that she's engaged and she will be arriving at the house of her inlaws before her future husband. She gets even more stressed out when her luggage is lost at the aiport and she can't get ahold of her fiance because he is busy taking business calls. As fate would have it, she meets her future brother-in-law who has also lost his luggage! As Alice meets her new family, she falls in love with their holiday traditions and is enjoying their warm and welcome home. A romance has blossomed, is fate? Alice will have to decide weather of not this is the mix up that was supposed to happen, or was it just an accident?

Elf!

This is really the funniest Christmas movie I have seen. It's about an elf that was raised by Santa and the other elves, but he is really a human. He starts to notice that he isn't fitting in so he has a talk with Santa, who then tell's him his dad is somewhere in New York City. He gets a job at mall and falls in love with another human, but he doesn't know how to express it because he has never been in love before. He does all kinds of crazy things that would seem normal in the North Pole, but not in New York. Spaghetti with syrup, and making toys out of furniture are a few of the crazy ideas he pulls out of his sack. Will he get the girl he loves, or will he make a fool of himself? Watch this Christmas movie with the whole family for lots of laughs and to get into the Christmas sprite.

 

White House Down

This movie is great. I'm not really into action movies but I loved how thrilling it was. I loved Channing Tatum in this movie, who wouldn't? Haha, I loved that it had a family theme, a love theme, and a action/thriller theme. It is about someone that applies for a job as a secret service agent for the president, but it isn't looking too hot for him. After the interview, he promised he would take his little girl on a tour of the white house. While they are on the tour, the white house is attacked. By who? You'll just have to watch and see! Regardless, the man who applied for the secret service job ends up protecting the president as well as trying to get back to his daughter.

The Intouchables

This movie is so inspiring. It is the story of a man that is disabled and has no feeling in his body from his neck down. He hires a man that is from the "opposite side of town". This man is big, African American, and has a history with drugs. Why would a rich man hire someone like this when he could get a man that has a college degree in this field? Because Driss doesn't give the man pity. This movie is set in France and the movie is all in French. It is a blending of romance and comedy, you will laugh and cry at the same time! Even though the movie is French, it is still amazing. It is based on a true story which makes it even more incredible.

 

New Years Eve

I love Christmas and the holidays. So this movie really got me excited for the December month. This is a story of 11 different people and how their lives intertwine on New Years Eve in New York city. It is truly magical. Each individual has their own struggles but somehow the magic of the holiday season shifts the mood and everyone's night works out in their favor. I my favorite character is Brad Pitt who plays someone that is not fond of the holidays, but meets a girl while both of them are trapped in an elevator who changes his mind.

I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get."
This movie, is so classic. It's amazing and I think there are so many life lessons within this movie. It's about a boy named Forrest, who is a little slow. He falls in love with Jenny in 3rd or 4th grade. They grow up together through high school and even past that. Forrest is played by Tom Hanks and he does an amazing job of portraying what friendship really is. He makes many accomplishments throughout the movie, and has many losses. I would have to say this movie makes me laugh and cry at the same time. You will defiantly have a bigger heart after seeing the troubles the characters go through.

The Perfect Pitch

Pitch Perfect is such a great movie if you're into music. I myself am, so I can't get enough of Barden Bella's! "Fat Amy" is one of the funniest girls in this group. This movie is about a group of acapella singers who are new in the gig. However they all have great voices! Their main goal is to destroy their enemy, "The Treble Makers". The thing I love the most about this movie is how silly it is. You could literally sit there and laugh with the movie over and over, it never gets old.

 

My Sisters Keeper

My Sister Keeper (book by Nicholas Sparks) is one of the saddest movies ever. Its depressing yet exciting because you want to keep track of Kate's life and how things play out with her little sister and her decisions. She makes some though choices for a girl her age. I can relate to this story because my family is in and out of the court room so I really feel for Kate, her brother, and her sister.

White Chicks

Wow I have never laughed this hard. Such a funny movie! Two African American cops go undercover to protect the identity of two "White Chicks". These two girls are being followed by men to kidnap them. You will find yourself singing the song "A Thousand Miles" more than you would like, and that is the only downfall to this movie. I would defiantly give this movie a 3 out of 5 stars. Not my favorite, but defiantly funny.

Gatsby? What Gatsby?

A movie all about parties? Not so much. I mean, yes there are parties included in this wonderful film, but underneath all of the fun, this movie is about a man trying to get the girl he had to leave. He throws extravagant parties to attract the attention of the beautiful Daisy with the help of Daisy's cousin, Nick. This is defiantly my favorite movie of 2013!
