The movie I always loved when I was a kid in the 80’s was Big starring Tom Hanks. It is about a kid named Josh who didn’t always gets what he wants. He feels overruled by adults and his classmates telling and bullying him what to do. He goes to a fair to the wishing machine making a wish to be big as an older adult. He goes to the city trying to find a job. He gets even luckier by the rich boss giving him a job, but not just any job. A top job. A job where he checks toys if they are appropriate to sell for kids in toy stores. He works in a huge toy business cooperation. He gets himself a girlfriend there. But, when he realizes that he misses childhood, his best friend, and mom he makes his last wish to be a kid again. His wish is granted, but his girlfriend isn’t pleased, because she has to say goodbye to him. The ending is wonderful, because he is happy with his family and best friend. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves to see it.
Movie Industry

The Joker is Successful in Movies
Ever since Batman:the Movie appeared we hated the Joker in it, but we were interested of him. The Joker is one of the most interesting super villains out there. I don’t think any villain can out-run and out-race him. The villain Loki from the Thor series was very close to beating him, but lost at the end. We have a hate and interested relationship with the number #1 Batman villain: the Joker. The Joker gets better every time he appears in a brand new movie. He will appear in The Suicide Squad. A movie where the villains have to do good by saving the decent people. Anyway the Joker hates decent people. He likes people like himself. Heath Ledger’s Joker made mince-meat out of Jack Nicholson’s Joker. The Joker was perfected in 1989’s Batman. The new actor Jared Leto sounds like a perfect candidate to play the Joker. As much as we hate the Joker. We do want to see him again. The one thing I don’t know is he ever going to get beaten up again laughing to his cell. We saw him falling off a building laughing himself to the death in Batman (1989). The Joker did the same in The Dark Knight, but he got saved by Batman, and arrested. The Batman show in the 1960’s shows a sillier Joker, which the only thing he does is steal, trick the people of Gotham City, and Batman, and gets away with it. I never saw the Joker as a hero. I think the new movie The suicide Squad we might get a different dose of his entertainment. Anyway, to most fans the Joker is entertaining, even if he laughs while doing crime. He entertains himself, while entertaining us, except Batman.
Novel & Movie Review: Safe Haven
Both the novel and movie has satisfied me much. The movie resembles the same as Nicholas Sparks‘ novel Safe Haven. The movie is based on the novel of the same name. I see that Katie has a dark past that she doesn’t want the widowed Alex to know. Her darkest past haunts and torments her while she escapes to the Oasis of Southport around North Carolina. She finds Safe Haven where Alex and his two children live. She has run away from the cop because of her negative past of him. The cop is trying to find her of a murder crime she didn’t commit. I won’t spoil the movie and novel for you. I fell in love with the movie. I loved the novel. The have the same background, plot, and story, which are similar. I have read the novel first, and saw the movie second. I have no complaints on both.
The Difference Between Novel & Movie: The Fault In Our Stars
I have read the novel The Fault in Our Stars, and have watched the movie of the same name. Now I can make comparisons. In my point of view I feel the novel is much better than the movie. The movie was great and it completed the whole novel of how it was imagined by the author. But, the novel felt as if it was the movie as well. The movie and novel neither didn’t disappoint its fans. I loved the novel much better, because it felt much different. When I saw the movie I have felt that I already know what is going to happen, but loved it, also. To me the novel has felt stronger, and heartfelt, because you imagine the characters. You can try to picture how they look like, and how they are alike. In the movie you feel you already know everything that’s going to happen, because you’ve read the book. However, there will be some people who will tell you that both were great. I have felt that imagining is a challenge, and I love challenges when I read novels, and the movies adapted towards it. The movie didn’t disappoint me. But I would prefer the novel than the movie any day.
Thank God, Supergirl Is Now Going To Be On TV (At Least)!
I remember when I saw Supergirl the movie I was fascinated and impressed by it. Sadly, the public didn’t go into the fictional super heroine type, back then in the 80’s it was all Superman mania. Most fans only wanted to see Superman. I hope that Supergirl gets the same treatment as Superman did back then during that decade. In the 1980’s I have felt that I was the only one that was super pumped about Supergirl and was very happy that she might get the big screen and small screen treatment. It never happened. She appeared in Smallville, the show of how Superman started as a child, and then teen youth. I have felt that she might get the chance that Batman have got in this earlier century. I think we should give these super heroines another chance, because not just the heroes are going to reign supreme, but they could reign together. In this sense it will be more fun, then in the old days of the classic years. We should give Supergirl a chance. At least for what we did for Marvel and Batman. She should be given a chance at stardom to be successful too! CBS will give her a primetime date when she’ll be appearing with real life people on the set or animated cartoons. But, I have heard it will be drama. I just hope the sad history doesn’t repeat itself with Supergirl.
Gone With The Wind (1939)
Gone With The Wind is a film based on Margaret Mitchell’s novel Gone With The Wind. It’s a romantic historical film. It is set in the times of the Civil War. It’s about the romance between Scarlet O’Hara and the confederate sympathizer Rhett Butler. The novel was published in 1936 when it first came out. The novel is told from the perspectives of white southerners. The novel was a success, and so was the movie version. Once the film was finished the director decided to premiere it in New York, but the Atlanta people forced him to do it in Atlanta, Georgia. It took a while to settle it, but the Georgians achieved it. Some few scenes in the film aren’t the ones from the book. The film crew invented several scenes that weren’t in the novel. One famous quote in the novel read from the character Rhett Butler saying, “My dear! I don’t give a damn!” has changed to “Frankly, my dear! I don’t give a damn!” in the film once Rhett departs from the defeated Scarlet O’Hara. The film crew interviewed more than 1,400 women for the part of Scarlet O’Hara. Vivien Leigh got the part of Scarlet O’Hara. Clark Gable got the part of Rhett Butler. This film has won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 1940.
I have seen this movie many times, and loved it. I would love to read the novel also, even though it has too many pages. It still is beautifully written. I have seen the movie in my twenties, and I still love it. When the movie came out in Atlanta, Georgia in 1939 it got great reviews from the fans.
Sylvester Stallone (1946-Present)
Sylvester Stallone is an American actor, screenwriter, and film director. He is well known for his Hollywood action roles. He portrayed the boxer Rocky Balboa in the Rocky films, and John Rambo in the Rambo films. The Rocky statue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art are known as the “Rocky Steps” based on the Rocky series. On December 7, 2010 he was voted into boxing’s Hall of Fame.
Somewhere in Time (1980)
Somewhere in Time (1980) is a romantic fantasy film. The film adaptation is based on the 1975 novel Bid Time Return written by Richard Matheson. The movie is about Richard Collier, a playwright who becomes obsessed by a photograph of a young woman at the Grand Hotel. Using his self-hypnosis, he travels back in time in 1912 to find love with actress Elise McKenna, but her manager William Fawcett Robinson fears that romance will ruin her career, and resolves to stop it.
I have seen this movie over 20 times, and still love to see it. I think the film is beautifully redacted from the novel. I would recommend anyone who loves romantic films to watch it, if they haven’t seen it. I think reading the novel would be a good idea, too. If it is still available in stores still, which I bet it is. But, reading the book isn’t necessary.
Interested in Watching The New Movie “Fifty Shades of Grey”?
Do most of you have already read the “Fifty Shades of Grey” trilogy novels? Are you interested in watching the new movie at the Silver Screen? To tell you the truth the movie for me sounds interesting. I don’t think that women, and men will turn down to watch this film. In my point of view this movie should fare very well at the box office. But, the future is yet unpredictable. Not all movies share the same luxury like for example The Hunger Games, and The Thor movies. Are you curious in the main characters of this film, includes, Anastasia, and the laser-gazed billionaire Christian Grey? How will Dokota Faning, and Jamie Doman fare in this film? If most of you have read the books by E.L. James, then most of you already know what will happen. I am interested in this movie as well, but will wait for it till it comes out in DVD. Choose if you want to or don’t want to see this film. Tell me what you think about the TV ads of “Fifty Shades of Grey”. The movie comes out on Valentine’s Day of 2015. What do you think of these novels turning into movies? Would you care to watch “Fifty Shades of Grey”?
