Billy Madison
1. When the main cast bursts into a song outside in the water fountain. This made me laugh because a lot of movies and people like to make fun of classic musicals or movies that have singing in them such as Grease.
2. When Bill Madison (Adam Sandler) goes on a long tangent comparing the book The Puppy Who Lost His Way and how it's just like society and the idustrial revolution. This part made me laugh because it was so ridiculous and you just knew that there was no way he could make this comparison.
3. When the principal of the high school called his wife a tramp and a cheater. I found this part somewhat humorous probably because it sugar-coats the average adultery view-point instead of making it look as though the husband and/or wife doesn't know.
4. When Billy is studying for the decatholon and it goes from being his girlfriend, Veronica, removing her clothing to the bus driver removing his clothes. This was more sickly to me than hilarious but memorable.

The Forest for the Trees
The main character, Melanie, moves to a new town in Germany and has trouble meeting new people and creating new friendships. Melanie is a school teacher but has more issues with keeping her class in line and respectful. The one time she thought she found a friend, Tina (a girl who worked at a department store), lost her from spying on her personal life and Tina finding out to Melanie inviting herself over and eventually Tina said don't ever come back here. About the second to last scene, we finally see Melanie controlling her classes and demanding their attention.
Melanie represents that space in one's life that one may feel lost and not know where they belong. One may feel this right after college, being a foreign exchange teen, or traveling to other countries.

The Secret Window
Looking back, this movie was ridiculous. It kept you on the edge of your seat until the end when you realize Johnny Depp's character, Mort Rainey, is just a psycho killing machine. The Secret Window gives you odd perspectives out of Rainey's life and has a twist that will leave you mortified.
Rainey, a published writer, is one day encountered by a man (John Turtorro) who claims Rainey stole his writing. John Shooter is a farmer from Mississippi who tells Rainey that he has three days to finish his piece or prove that Rainey wrote it first. But if Mort went to the cops, people would start to disappear out of his life. Mort remembers the exact date he published his writing but has to call on his cheating ex-wife (Maria Bello) to get ahold of the piece. That night, Rainey believes he hears something outside his window (not the secret one) and goes to look and finds his dogs dead body laying there. The movie goes through a whole plot on how his wife's house burns down and two of his best friends are murdered in a car.
The pieces start to come together with about twenty minutes left in the movie when Rainey begins talking to himself and realizes that he created the character of John Shooter who truly did not exist. He killed is dog, burned the house down, and brutally murdered his friends. But, just as Shooter had told him, the end was not finished. Enter cheating ex-wife and man that stole her away. Amy Rainey drives up to Mort's cabin but meets her fate in the garden of which was to become her grave. Her lover soon joined her. The madness does not end here. Rainey becomes "sane" again now that his paper is complete. The last scene we see is the sheriff telling Rainey that everyone knows and will prove it somehow. Rainey is eating corn...from the garden of which he buried his ex and her lover.
See, I told you it is ridiculous. This movie is not for the faint of heart or who absolutely love corn. I gave this movie a 6 out of 10 because I thought the plot was good until I found out Depp was a psycho. I think a different ending could have helped.

Unforgiven
In the movie, Unforgiven, William Munny (Clint Eastwood), is an old retired murderer but gets brought back into "business" when a prostitute is cut in the brothel by a cowboy. The Schofield Kid, Jaimz Woolvett, seeks out Munny in hopes of killing all of the men involved and splitting the reward money. Munny agrees but keeps his promise to his dead wife, making the children behind and not cussing.
On the way to the town where the cutting took place, Munny rounds up his old partner-in-crime, Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman), who leaves his Native American wife and joins in the ranks. Kid, Logan, and Munny eventually make it to the town where they get kicked out by Little Bill Dagget (Gene Hackman). They make their way west and run into the troublemakers. Kid, by this time we know cannot see very far, takes about five shots to kill a man and Munny shoots him once to finally kill the cowboy. Logan becomes discouraged and leaves Munny and Kid for home. He does not make it.
The next scene we view is Ned Logan being whipped and eventually dying with his body being put out on display on the local bars front porch. Munny hears of this and returns to the bar, guns in hand. We next view a shoot out and of course Munny wins. Munny takes Logan's body and buries it himself. Munny returns home and back to his normal life.
If you cannot tell by my short and very bland writing, I did not like watching this film at all. I thought it was the most non-thrilling movie and completely boring. I understand that Clint Eastwood's character had not forgiven himself from his wife's death and had "changed his ways" but who cares? We all know that Eastwood's character would not die because he is Clint Eastwood. I gave this movie a 1 out of 10 and if you want to know why, read the above.

DC Films- V for Vendetta and Dark Knight
"Remember, Remember the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder should ever be forgot".
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people".
"Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve."
These three quotes represent the plot behind two popular films. V for Vendetta and Dark Knight have very similar plots. "V" and the Joker have the same underlying cause... disrupt the citizens of their cities routines and make them see who they really are. "V" had to blow up the totalitarian government that was ruining the city of Great Britain to showing how easily it can be ruined when one decides they want change. The Joker, in an extremely strange way, showed the city of Gotham how easily its citizens would stray from their own rules to save themselves. Both characters had to make a large presentation to make their point...in their mind. The point was made in both films. "V", in his mind, did not kill anyone that did not intentionally deserve it. He went straight for the middle and took the government down, leader by leader. The Joker, on the other hand, warned Batman that until he revealed himself, he would kill people. He did.
I'm not saying that killing anyone is the best way to make a point but desperate times call for desperate measures.

The Simpsons
After watching this film, it is no wonder that this movie was nominated for a Golden Globe. The Simpsons film was one of the most hilarios films I have never seen. Granted, I never would have payed money to see this film but that is why there is Netflix. With returning voices of Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Pamela Hayden, and even Billie Joe Armstrong, this movie was a complete cast.
The plot is very simple and short. The Simpsons are forewarned by their crazy grandfather in church of evil that would ruin their lives. Soon after, Homer brings home a pig that was about to be slaughtered. Marge yells at Homer telling him that this was the evil that would ruin them. Of course Homer does not listen. Homer begins keeping all of the pigs poop in a big silo in their backyard. Marge finds out and tells Homer to go and dump into recycling. Lisa, previously, got the city to build a large metal fence around the lake that was being destroyed from pollution...it was idiot proof (haha). Homer is not your everyday idiot. He becomes distracted with donuts and has to race time. He ends up tossing the silo into the lake and the lake becomes a pollute monster. (Interesting plot, huh!) The "EPA" or the Environmental Protection Agency finds out who dumped the silo and the town becomes enraged and hunts down the Simpsons. The Simpsons cannot get very far because of the big glass dome surrounding their town keeping them away from the rest of the country. Maggie, finds a sink hole (also in their backyard) and tells the rest of the family to hop in. They escape.
The Simpson's are now out on the run and the only place Homer wants to go is Alaska. They go to Alaska. The kids only have so much fun until they watch the news and find out that the government and President Schwarzenegger are planning to destroy Springfield. The whole family (except Homer) rush back to Springfield in attempt to save it. It takes Homer a little bit longer but eventually he goes. They save the town from the government and Springfield is restored.
My rating is a 8.5 out of 10. There was a very good amount of sattire. Usually when TV shows try a movie, they flop. But to me the Simpson's was the best and has set the bar for the rest.

Cinema Paradiso
My rating of Cinema Paradiso is a 9.5 out of 10.
My first most memorable part of this film was when Toto yelled to Alfredo "UP YOURS!" because no child would dare yell that at an adult today...unless you have as good of friendship as Toto and Alfredo. Alfredo knew that Toto was only joking or did not mean it.
My second most memorable part was when there was a fire underneath Toto's bed from the film. His sister almost got hurt. But their family portrait of his mother and father was burned in half with the part of his father being gone, eluding to the fact that his father was dead and he was but a memory now.
Third would have to be in the very beginning the priest previewing the films that the townspeople would watch but he would "delete" all of the "pornography", which to most of us today is just kissing.
Fourth is when the film catches on fire and Alfredo is the last person inside, Toto rushes in to save him, but Alfredo is burned on his face to the point where he is blind for the rest of his life.
Fifth would be the first time Toto (also known as Salvatore as he begins to grow up) saw Elena. He began to film her because she was the most beautiful thing.
Sixth would be when Toto first speaks to Elena and forgets what he was going to say and talks about the weather.
Seventh is when Toto promises Elena he will wait 99 evenings for her and when she would open the window shutters to her room, that would mean she is finally in love with him too. That evening never came.
Eigth would be when a man comes to town with lots of money and offers to buy the old theatre and turns it into Cinema Paradiso and Salvatore continues working the film booth there. The film is not flammable any more, the pictures are more clear, and kissing is now allowed.
Ninth would be when Toto is leaving and Alfredo whispers into his ear, "Do not come back. No matter what. Do not come back. Nothing will be the same. No one will be here. If you come back, I will not let you into my home. I will not speak to you. Now go...go...". Toto never returned but when he did, everything was different.
My tenth memory would be the last scenes scrambled together. Toto receives a phone call telling him that Alfredo is dead. Salvatore returns to Giancaldo, Sicily only to find that Alfredo had been right. All of the old buildings he remebered, gone. Recognizable faces of people that he shared his childhood with, gone. Film...not so. Alfredo had kept all of the "pornography" scenes from the priest's day, and had kept them for Toto. The scenes represented what love was and also what was missing from Salvatores life.

The Graduate
"Mrs. Robinson, I think you're trying to seduce me...Mrs. Robinson, aren't you trying to seduce me?" "Would you like me to seduce you?" "I'm going home now", one of the most memorable lines in the history of films comes from the 1967 film The Graduate. Starring Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddok, Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson, and Katherine Ross as Elaine, this eventual love triangle becomes one of lust versus love but also adds that pinch of comedy to lighten the mood.
When Benjamin Braddok returns from college, he is consistently hounded with the question, "What are doing next?", and he states "Drifting...because it's comfortable". Now this could be taken many ways but as we see throughout the next couple months and years of young Ben's life, he is drifting but not as comfortably as he would like us to think. Mrs. Robinson enters the film when she asks Ben to drive her home after his party, so as any good gentleman would do, he did. Little did he know that there was more than bourbon on the rocks waiting in the bar. Mrs. Robinson tells him to come in side, he follows. Mrs. Robinson asks him what he wants to drink, he states bourbon. Mrs. Robinson asks him to come upstairs to Elaine's room, he starts walking up the stairs. It is here in Elaine's room that we learn what Mrs. Robinson really has in mind. She tells Ben that she finds him attractive and that she's available whenever he is. Availability is not her problem. The first time they do the dirty (well at least for the late 1950's, early 1960's) is at the local hotel and the room clerk asks him, "Are you here for an affair sir?" and Braddok panics and stammers over his words and says, "What?" shocked and scared that somone knows. But the affair the innocent room clerk meant was a party that was being held. Braddok laughs it off and states that he only has a toothbrush with and gets his room key.
After a couple months of the affair, Elaine Robinson returns home for a while before heading off to Berkely College. This is when Mrs. Robinson goes off the deep end and tells Ben that he must never take her out on a date but does he listen? No, of course not, he's Benjamin Braddok. Braddok eventually falls head over heels for Elaine and this upsets Mrs. Robinson to the point where she tells Elaine about Ben but puts a twist and says he raped her. Stupid Elaine, she believed her mother and left Ben to live with his thoughts. Smart but quirky Ben, follows Elaine to college and kind of stalks her to eventually trap her and tell her his side of the story. Of course, a week later they hook up because Elaine believes him but does not tell him that she is already engaged and to be married. Braddok finds this out almost a little too late but finds out which church Elaine is getting married at and again, stalks her down. He breaks into the church and the last scene we see is that of Ben yelling and Elaine screaming, her fiance yelling, Mrs. Robinson slap Elaine across the face, and Ben and Elaine run out, hop on a bus, and drive away.
Yes, all of the above is true but there is a follow up movie. The 2005 film Rumor Has It, starring Jennifer Aniston, Shirley MacLaine, Kevin Costner, and Mark Ruffalo, we learn that a famous movie filmed in the 1960's, The Graduate, was based on a true life story. No one had ever learned who this family was or how much of the story was factual but Jennifer Aniston's character, Sarah, knew something was not right with her and her family. Sarah eventually finds out that she is right about her quirky family and learns that The Graduate was written about the love triangle between her grandmother, Shirley MacLaine, and her mother who passed away thirty years ago. This follow up to The Graduate was the true closing we needed. The audience needed a sense that everyone's family is messed up but in the end it is possible to find true love even after you've had many problems.
I gave both of these movies a 9 out of 10 on my rating skill. Both kept us laughing and in suspense as we never knew what to expect from any of the characters. Shirley MacLaine is amazing and Kevin Costner is the best person to play a still sick-minded man. Anne Bancroft is just the woman to act seducively and Dustin Hoffman has the perfect expression for a movie where he hardly spoke at all. "People talking without speaking", a line from the song The Sound of Silence, perfectly describes what Hoffman accomplished in this film.
