An Education my review

An Education (2009)

Director: Lone Scherfig

Writers: Lynn Barber, Nick Hornby

Plot:

Lovely young Jenny Mellor played by Carey Mulligan is on top of her class. Coming from a middle class family she is hoping to get into Oxford , a dream that her father Jack (Alfred Molina) wants for her. Aside from her academics, she is also engaged in into playing a cello, one rainy afternoon after attending a cello practice she ran into David Goldman a man who is nearly as old as his father yet charming and has his ways of getting things especially with women. Jenny and David became acquainted and she had the best time of her life but with a cost.

Scenes that I like:

How Jenny elaborate on the sense of going to college and finishing school and ending up with a boring job to her principal.

Weird Part: Jenny, David and their friends going to dog races whose real purpose is to meet a man.

  

Movie Ending:

This movie encourages smoking, however it also tackles some important issues of life, Do not put your trust on a complete stranger, this movie also teaches about humility and self perseverance. 

Would I recommend it? Yes I would.

My Rating:★★★★☆

Clash of the Titans my review

Clash of the Titans (2010)
Warner Brothers

"One day, somebody's gonna have to make a stand. One day, somebody's gonna have to say enough."
“One day somebody’s gonna have to make a stand,One day somebody’s gonna have to say enough..”

Plot: Perseus a fisherman played by Sam Worthington is caught between the men’s rebellious act against the Gods, Zeus played by Liam Neeson allowed Hades's (Ralph Fiennes) to unleash his fury. As the city of Argos is being held hostage by Hades and about to be destroyed if princess Andromeda (Alexa Davalos) is not sacrificed to the titan call the Kraken,a montrous sea creature created by Hades himself , Perseus leads a mission of a group of soldiers and mercenaries to avenge his family, save the city and the princess. Along the journey to find the way to kill the Kraken, they were guided by Io a woman cursed with agelessness. As he travels to find the solution to save the princess, he finds the truth about himself.

Scenes that I like: Perseus’s battle with the scorpions, the scorpions seemed real and violently attacks the squad of soldiers. Fight to get the laughing Medussa’s head. A bit dark but it’s understandable since you’re in the underworld.
Wierd part: Riding on the back of the scorpions after trying to kill the creature or be killed by it.

Movie Ending:
Though I enjoy the special effects the Pegasus whose wings are completely synchronized with its movement.The set design,and the was fine.
After the movie has ended, I felt like it is kind of fast and emphasizes on the journey.
Would I want to watch it again? I think once is enough.

My Rating:★★★☆☆
