QUOTE (Tank)
This is a Thread for movie reviews written by Giarus.

Feel free to discuss the movies that he is reviewing, but if you wish to discuss other movies, please use the other thread.

I'm doing this as the final straw and becuase i am a nice person, keep it clean or else we will be forced to not be so nice.


I though cause i see alot of current movies ill do some reviews on ones that are worth seeing


and if anyone else wants to add a piece to a review they may do so ill start my first review with the movie. First here is the plot, my own review is underneath.


The Blind Side

Plot (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blind_Side_(film))
For 17 years, Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) has been in foster care with different families. Every time he is sent to a new home, he runs away. One of his friend's fathers, whose couch Mike had been sleeping on, enrolls him into a Christian school, after the father convinces the coach that "Big Mike" is a natural athlete, yet he refuses to beat people to the ground. The coach convinces the school principal to enroll him into the school. After school one day, Michael meets Sean "SJ" Jr. (Jae Head), who quickly befriends Michael. Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) is a fiery interior designer, mother to SJ and Collins (Lily Collins), and wife to Sean Tuohy (Tim McGraw). After a pre-holiday Thanksgiving school festival, Leigh Anne notices Michael walking on the road, shivering in the freezing cold; she pities his situation and offers him a place to spend the night. The next morning, much to her dismay, she finds Michael leaving their driveway and asks him to spend Thanksgiving with her family. Slowly, Michael starts becoming a part of the Tuohy family, even as Leigh Anne's friends warn her that Michael could affect SJ and Collins' social life. Nonetheless, SJ and Michael become buddies. Leigh Anne goes to the school about Michael's academic performance and is surprised to learn that even though he has scored low in essentially every aspect, he scored in the 98th percentile in 'protective instincts'. Sean also takes to Michael and lists the Tuohys as his emergency contact and talks to the school coach to get Michael enrolled in the football team.
Possessed of enormous stature and titanic strength, Michael performs exceptionally on the field and catches the eye of many college coaches from around the state. SJ tells Michael that his mother cannot stand Tennessee. Leigh Anne discovers that to get a NCAA Division I Scholarship, Michael needs a 2.5 GPA. His current GPA is too low, so they hire a private tutor, Miss Sue (Kathy Bates), to raise his grades. The school teachers also take a special interest and start giving his tests orally rather than in written format. During one of his private tutor classes, Miss Sue, a University of Mississippi ("Ole Miss.") alumna, tells him that the FBI bury the body parts of the unrecognized dead people under the University of Tennessee's Neyland Stadium. Michael's heart aches and this is possibly shown as a reason for Michael opting to join University of Mississippi. Michael ends up with a GPA of 2.52 . Subsequently, Michael receives a call from the NCAA, who suspects that the Tuohys forced Michael to select Mississippi, rather than Tennessee, his home-state team. The investigator also tells him that the Tuohys were from Mississippi and his high school coach got a better job at Ole Miss after Michael chose Mississippi.
Michael leaves the investigation room and confronts Leigh Anne; he asks her if she only took him in so that he would play football for her alma mater. Michael goes to his birth mother's apartment in the projects, where his old friends at first welcome him, then make sexually suggestive remarks about his adoptive mother and sister. A fight ensues, in which Michael easily dispatches three armed thugs, and flees the scene. Leigh Anne goes in search of Michael. He finally calls her, and they meet at a neighborhood laundromat. Leigh Anne tells him that she wants him to choose which university he accepts a scholarship from and any decisions he makes in life will be supported by her. Michael returns to the NCAA office and tells the investigator that he chose Ole Miss because his whole family has gone to school there. Michael gets accepted to Ole Miss with a scholarship for football. Leaving Michael at school, Leigh Anne feels happy for what she has done for Michael and also what he has done for them all.
The film ends with the 2009 NFL Draft, showing the real-life Michael Oher being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.
The end credits include a dedication to the director's father, also John Lee Hancock, a football player and coach who died in 2009.

My Review:
After watching this movie it opened my eyes to the less fortuned people who may be great at sports but is unable to get into a good school and try and competed to getting a job out of it or to show there intelligence.
I give this movie a 9.5/10 it is a great movie to watch. it really show's how some people can be that nice and also shows how some people live.

i say its a must see movie

TOY STORY 3

Plot: ***http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_3***
Now seventeen years old, Andy has outgrown his old toys and is preparing to move to college. He decides to take Woody with him and packs the other toys in a garbage bag, intending to store them in the attic, but Andy's mom mistakenly puts the bag on the curb. Believing that Andy no longer wants them, the toys sneak into a box to be donated to Sunnyside Daycare. As the only toy who saw what really happened, Woody tries to clear up the misunderstanding, but the other toys refuse to believe him and they are all driven to Sunnyside. The toys receive a warm welcome from the toys at Sunnyside, led by Lotso the "Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear" who assigns them to the "Caterpillar Room." Other Sunnyside toys include a Ken doll and a baby doll named Big Baby. Woody tries to convince the others to return to Andy, but they decide they are happier at Sunnyside, so he leaves without them. The others soon discover the children of the Caterpillar Room are too young and rambunctious, and the toys are innocently abused and tortured. Buzz goes to ask Lotso to transfer them to the older children (in the Butterfly Room), but is instead caught by some of the Sunnyside toys and reset to his original, deluded space ranger self.
As he escapes Sunnyside, Woody is found and taken in by a girl from the daycare named Bonnie. Woody learns from Bonnie's toys that Sunnyside is a toy prison run with an iron fist by Lotso, who snapped after his owner lost and replaced him with another Lotso, running away from home and taking over Sunnyside with Big Baby as his chief enforcer. Lotso forces other toys to stay in the Caterpillar Room, ensuring that he and his cohorts never have to deal with the younger children. At the daycare, the others discover that Andy is looking for them when Mrs. Potato Head sees him through her missing eye, which was lost in Andy's room. Realizing their error, the toys try to leave but are imprisoned by Lotso and his henchmen, including the reset Buzz.
Woody returns to Sunnyside to help his friends break out. They accidentally reset Buzz to his Spanish mode during the escape, though he returns to their side. The toys use a garbage chute to reach a dumpster outside the daycare, but Lotso and his henchmen catch them. Woody and his friends convince the henchmen of Lotso's treachery, so they throw Lotso in the dumpster. However, Lotso, as an act of revenge for ruining everything, pulls Woody into the dumpster just before a garbage truck arrives, forcing the others to rescue him, with Buzz returning to normal in the process.
The truck takes the toys to a dump where they are forced onto a conveyor belt for disposal. Woody helps Lotso and the others escape a shredder, but Lotso leaves them to fall into an incinerator to their certain death. The toys are rescued by a giant claw crane operated by the squeeze toy aliens, while Lotso is found by a garbage man and tied to the front of a truck, to his dismay.
The toys return to Andy's house, and while Woody prepares to go to college with Andy, the other toys prepare to be stored in the attic. Realizing his friends deserve better, Woody leaves a note to Andy suggesting he donate his toys to Bonnie. Andy happily gives Bonnie all the toys prepared for the attic, until realizing that Woody had somehow ended up in the same box as them as well. Hesitant at first, Andy gives Woody to Bonnie, and together they play with his toys one last time before he leaves for college. Woody and his friends begin their lives anew with Bonnie's toys while Sunnyside is reformed under Barbie and Ken's leadership. The toys rotate between the younger "Caterpillars" and older "Butterflies," ensuring that all the toys equally share the responsibility of entertaining the younger children. They keep in touch with Bonnie's toys by slipping letters into her backpack.
