Step Up

“Step Up, a movie about a girl who teaches a man how to dance, is a magnificent movie if interested in dancing, and doesn’t mind a little violence.  The girl in this movie is a ballet dancer, but the guy is a gangster.  As a punishment, the guy is forced to take ballet.  Along the way there is intense dancing, a boy who gets shot, and ballet.  I would advise this movie if interested in ballet.  The  movie is recommended for ages 13 and up.  This movie is rate at pg-13.”

Major League II

Major League II is an inspiring movie about a horrendous baseball team, the Cleveland Indians.  During the preseason, the Cleveland Indians could not even get on first base!  With the help of their motivating coach, they improved greatly, and even went to the World Series.  This movie is appropriate for ages ten and up: younger children should not view this movie because of its inappropriate language.  Major League II is rated PG.

Tuck Everlasting

            “Tuck Everlasting, a mixed emotional film, takes families on an adventure.  This movie is about a girl who goes to the woods and finds herself lost with people whom she just met.  In the woods there is a Fountain of Youth.  This magical fountain is actually a fountain that makes you live forever.  The people she met drank from it, and told her not to drink it.  The people who drank it came to realize that life is going to end, so don’t let it last forever.  They came to realize that they would live forever because one got shot, a snake bit one, and they still managed to not die.  We recommend this movie to anyone with an imagination and enjoy fantasy.  This movie will take you on a fun-filled quest.  We would approve this movie for ages 8 and up.”

Tuck Everlasting

Tuck Everlasting is a movie that is about a young teen who just wants to get out of her own front yard.  One day she walks through her gate and hikes through the woods. There she met a young man named Jesse Tuck.  She discovers an odd, natural spring that Jesse drank out of and finds out that the spring’s water has magical powers that keep you alive forever.  Based on Natalie Babbitt’s incredible book, Tuck Everlasting demonstrates two very important morals: don’t be afraid of death, and your family will always try to do the best for you.  This movie is very suspenseful too, as the Tucks meet the evil man in the yellow hat who tries to make them a carnival act.  I think this movie should be viewed by families with children who are older than nine years old.
