Good Luck Chuck

This scene was a rather funny one, as it is after Jessica Alba's Skirt is ripped off by a car door. It shows her penguin underwear. This was funny because her character has a obsession with penguins.


This scene is another of Jessica Alba. It is her at work with her penguins. Although you can see her whole body, this is a medium shot.

I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry

This scene is a mid shot when they are playing basketball. This movie is about two men, Chuck and Larry, and they pretend to get married so Chuck can keep his pension plan for his kids. Both of them are fire fighters, so they are at risk everyday, and Chuck did not want to leave his kids with nothing if something were to happen to him.

Gladiator

Gladiator is a action drama film.This shot is a medium shot directed at the gladiators. His sword represents his anger his resolve from his people you cross and do wrong to his nation it will come back and stab you. The giant man standing in front represents an obstacle for him and his people he maybe small but he fights with every inch of his body.

Knocked Up

But it gets seriously derailed when a drunken one-nighter with slacker Ben Stone results in an unwanted pregnancy. Faced with the prospect of going it alone or getting to know the baby's father, Allison decides to give the lovable doof a chance.

Bourne Ultimatum

The 3rd of the Bourne trilogy, Jason is still on the run, but finally finds out who he is in this movie. Of the three movies, this one is the most intense. He continues to run, and travels between Russia and the United States.

Bourne Supremecy

This movie is the second part of the Bourne Trilogy. This movie continues right after Bourne Identity. Jason Bourne continues to find out who he is, while still on the run. The CIA wants him dead because they worry he will reveal the secrets to their spy training programs. But unfortunately Jason Bourne still does not remember who he is.
This is the man sent by the CIA to hunt down Jason Bourne. There is a very intense chase scene right after this. He is to eliminate Jason, and was also trained in the same program.

Bourne Identity

The movie Bourne Identity is about a spy Jason Bourne. He failed one of his missions, and gets injured and loses his memory. Because his mission was a failure, the CIA removes all records of him, so they are no associated. Jason attempts to find out who he is, all while on the run. The movie is a great action film.

Live Free or Die Hard

In this scene of Live Free or Die Hard, Bruce Willis' character takes out a helicopter with a plane. This scene is pretty famous, because it was played over and over in the trailer. The lines were " You just took out a helicopter with a car!, Yea I ran outta bullets"

Bridge to Terabithia

This scene was an interesting one, because this whole movie was based on the imagination of two children. This scene is a long shot showing their made up kingdom Terabithia. The giant ogre you see is actually their made up version of a bully at their school. This movie has some interesting twists, but i thought it had a rather surprising ending.

this scene shows the two children opening their "magic pouch" and shining a beam onto a set of keys they have been looking for. Again, this whole movie was based solely on the imagination of two children.

Pursuit of Happiness

In this scene, it shows Will Smith as a father grabbing a bite to eat with his son. This shot would be a long shot, as you can see more than their waist and up. This movie is a very touching movie, as Will Smith tries to get a job that will turn his life around. He is struggling to make enough to feed his son, so this job means everything to him.

Terminator 2

This long shot from T2 was a very popular image. In this scene the terminator is escaping from a exploding fuel tanker. This scene was a big deal because when this movie was produced, not many movies had such special effects. the entire shot is filled with the explosion in the background, while u see the terminator escaping right in front of the flames.

Hot Fuzz

In this medium shot, you can see the main character from the waist and above. This shot is interesting because he plays a cop carrying way too many weapons. In this scene, he is about to shoot up a town, because the entire town is responsible for the murders of its citizen. This movie is a comedy, but tried to take a serious approach to it, which made it amusing.

The Lake House

This scene from The Lake House is a good establishing shot, because it allows the viewer to see where the movie takes place. It shows the house as well as the mail box where part of the plot is centered. you can also see one of the main characters in the picture. although most of this shot shows the house, and the lake, the viewer does not find out til much later that the mailbox plays a large role.

Cars

this long shot was nice shot because it displays the environment from far away. it shows many details, and allows the viewer to see everything from the "big picture." although this movie was created using all computer graphics, many parts still look very realistic. the sky, and trees, and some of the canyons in the distant.

TMNT the movie

TMNT the movie is based off the old classic 80's cartoon. Teenage mutant ninja turtles was a popular cartoon when i was a kid. the movie shows 4 tutrle brothers that were trained to be ninjas. They are out fighting crime at night, and stop the evil ninja clan known as the foot clan. this computer animated film has lots of action and comedy. It really protrays the classic cartoon in this movie
.
That scene above is a classic scene because it shows all four turtles in a mid shot, while u can get a good feel for each of the turtles by looking at their facial expressions. Michelangelo has the freaked out expression, and is grabbing Donatello in this scene because htey are about to get smashed by a huge monkey.

Shooter

Shooter is a movie staring Mark Walberg as a retired army sniper. He was abandoned during a mission, and left to die. Disgruntle, he finds his way home, and fails to report back to the army, and goes into hiding.

He is eventually found, and called back to serve his country. He is told there is a plot to assassinate the president and they need his help to catch the sniper. Using everything he knows as a sniper, he plans out how the assassin would achieve the shot. The whole time he was scouting locations, he was being setup. Now Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Walberg) must find a way to clear his name.

Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer

After watching Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer, I was left wanting more. The movie takes place after the first Fantastic 4 movie. They have defeated Von Doom, and everything seems peaceful as Mr. Fantastic(Ioan Gruffud) and The Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba) being to plan their wedding.

Weird anomalies begin to appear around the planet, and the Fantastic 4 is called upon to investigate. This is when the Silver Surfer appears. The Silver Surfer is an alien being working for a larger alien being which consumes planets, known as Galactus. Just when the Fantastic 4 thought they had enough to deal with, their old enemy reappears. Rather than fight, Dr. Doom teams up with the Fantastic 4 defeat the Silver Surfer.

This movie follows the comic book accurately from what I remember, but the storyline for this movie was pretty bad. There were several moments when I just wanted to get up and walk away. The movie overall was pretty cheesy, but its mildly entertaining. the visual effects for the movie seem pretty sub-par for something this new as well. One nice scene is when the Human Torch catches the Silver Surfer.

The Negotiator

After just watching "The Negotiator" my feelings on the movie have not changed. I've seen this movie several times, but it always gets me hooked. Samuel L Jackson's character is a Chicago PD negotiator, and he must face off against another negotiator played by Kevin Spacey. Jackson's character Danny Roman has been framed for murder and the police are after him. He takes several hostages, and uses his skills as a negotiator to talk his way out.
This movie is a great movie regardless of how many times you've seen it. It plays on all your feelings, and even if I already know the ending, I can't wait for it to happen. The suspense is great, theres plenty of action, and in several occasions you even worry for Jackson's character.

Transformers the movie

First post regarding a movie. I recently saw Transformers the Movie, and thought it was a great movie. The movie itself was a great movie, but not a good Transformers movie. There was plenty of action, small bits of comedy, and left the audience wanting more.

The movie's background was set with an introduction of a comic book, which was the prequel to the movie. The movie itself takes place where the comic left off. The Autobots, a group of robots from another planet, have come to earth to find an item called the allspark, and must do so before the Decepticons, their enemies, find it. They end up fighting their war on Earth, and this is when all the action takes place.

One scene, where one of the Decepticons, Barricade attempts to get some info out of Shia LaBeouf was a good scene, because its the first of the Decepticons that you see transform, and it also leads into a nice chase scene.

This movie was overall a great movie, because it was entertaining, but it failed to follow the original Transformers feeling. The robots no longer looked how they should have, and they didn't make the infamous transformation sounds. in the end, this movie was great because it had plenty of action, small bits of comedy, and was a movie based off the original 1980's cartoon.
