The Breakfast Club Review

The Breakfast Club is one of the most popular 80s movies that 90s kids know about. For its popularity, it has a pretty simple premise. The story is about five  teenagers who have detention and learn they aren't so different from each other despite their cliques.Bender is considered by everyone to be a thug and a criminal. Allison is known as “the basket case” because she’s quiet and does strange things. Andrew is an athlete and feels he has to live up to his father’s expectations. Claire is called a princess because of her rich parents and slightly stuck up attitude. Finally, there’s Brian who’s a brainiac with poor social skills. While their mismatched personalities cause hilarity to ensue in the beginning, at the end they accept that regardless of how people label them, they can be themselves around each other. The movie ends there,  but it fails to answer the gut -wrenching question that has plagued everyone who’s seen the movie. What happened at school on Monday morning?

It's a little mature but anyone over 13 can watch it. It has comedy as well as drama and is simply a really good classic film everyone should see. You will be quoting it the rest of your life.

Creed Review

Creed was an amazing movie for those who followed the "Rocky Balboa" movies and for those who didn't. It was definitely a fighting movie. I went into the theater expecting something good, considering it was sold out the last time I tried to go and view it, and I was amazed. Creed started off with the young Adonis Johnson in a juvenile hall fighting another boy because he said something rude about Adonis' mother. Mary Anne, Apollo Creeds widowed wife, visits Adonis and tells him of his father, Apollo Creed. Adonis moves in with Mary Anne and then starts fighting in underground rings. He quickly rises to fame when the legend Rocky starts training him after realizing who he really is. After he gets his real identity released to the public everyone mocks him. He is called to fight the number one heavy weight champion in the world. He is mocked and is called a "fake" Creed. He proves to the world that he deserves the name when he lasts the entire fight with "pretty" Ricky Conlan. Overall a great movie and has a good message of keep fighting and be who you want to be.

Mockingjay Part 2 Review

Mockingjay pt. 2 was absolutely amazing. I have watched every installation since the very first Hunger Games and I’ve loved everyone. For those who’ve read the books, we were all prepared for the movie to be as dark as part one, but the visuals took it to an entire new level. Katniss and her crew embark on their final journey, and scar us all on the way. With heartbreaking deaths ( this is a Hunger Games movie after all) and pretty cool trick shots, the movie makes sure that this is one conclusion that we’ll never forget. It was mostly accurate to the book, even with some parts that we really didn’t want it to be. As the fourth and final Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay pt. 2 really lived up to the hype, and at least I think, did the series justice. Now, if you haven’t seen the movie, I suggest going away, getting a movie ticket, and not reading below because…

[ SPOILER ALERT]

Ok, so if you’re still here, I’m going to assume you don’t care if I give away major

details. So, here’s some of my biggest likes and dislikes about the movie.

President Coin/ Snow switcheroo: When Katniss shot Coin instead of Snow, I felt really bad for President Snow. But it also made me extremely angry that Coin was so power hungry that she would kill innocent men, women, and an entire group of Capitol children. Also, another hunger games? Really? Because that worked out so well last time!

Finnick’s Death: DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE. This was so uncalled for! I understand that he died in the books too, but still. There was no need!! Finnick no!!! You’re too beautiful to die like that!

Prim’s Death: Again, Major Dislike. I understand the directors really didn’t want Katniss to chose Gale, but I mean, the girl has gone through a lot. She just had to watch her sister die too and Gale had to be the reason she died? He couldn’t have just gotten really ugly instead?

Katniss and Peeta Together 5EVER: The ending of the movie was wonderful. It almost made up for the hour and forty five minutes of traumatizing death and violence the movie put us through in the beginning. It was so sweet and beautiful to see Katniss and Peeta together and at peace. The moment with them and their kids was probably the best part of the movie.

These were just some of my thoughts on the movie. I’ll probably go see it again just to hurt myself. It feels like the end of the era. What do you think? How did the end of this saga affect you? Comment below!
