THE SIMPSONS MOVIE (4 1/2 stars)

Director: David Silverman
Voices: Regular Simpsons crew
Guest Voices: Al Brooks, Tom Hanks
Description: It's finally here, the movie that people have been waiting for over a decade, The SIMPSONS MOVIE! And it's the biggest, and most computer animated, adventure that the Simpsons family have ever embarked on!
When Lake Springfield is polluted to the point of black, acidic toxins, the Environmental Protection Agency decides there is only one thing to do: Exterminate Springfield, and they get the job done by encasing the city in a giant, glass dome!
Fortunately, the Simpsons are able to escape their now claustrophobic town via a backyard sinkhole, and in their search for a new home, they decide to move to the snowy mountains of Alaska, and it almost seems like a happily ever after for the Simpsons family, but when the Environmental Protection Agency gets wind that the dome encasing Springfield is cracking, they decide to take their plan to the next level: Blow up Springfield!
Now Marge, Lisa, and Bart are determined to return save the town they love, and Homer must decide whether to bask alone in the comfort of his new mountain home, or follow his family and help rescue his friends and family from the Environmental Agency that looms ever closer to the trapped city...

THE BUCKET LIST (3 1/2 stars)

Director: Rob Reiner
Stars: Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman
Description: A story about two men stuck in a hospital room together after getting diagnosed with cancer, one, a family-man car mechanic (Freeman, Bruce Almighty, Nurse Betty), who seems to know the answers of every quizzical subject in existence, and the other, a lonely billionaire (Nicholson, About Schmidt, The Shining), who finds himself trapped in the crappy hospital system that he, himself, helped create.
Together, in their small hospital room, they create THE BUCKET LIST, a collection of experiences and activities they want to do before they "Kick the bucket". So they escape they're depressing ward, and go out on an adventure to achieve their lifelong goals, including a trip to the African safari, a climb up the Egyptian pyramids, and a skydiving session. But now, Nicholson has to get the car mechanic back home to his wife, before she gets angry!
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are great at their parts, but the movie, itself, fails to hold your attention, and with a plot-line that's so thin, it makes you wonder if the writer has much storytelling ability at all.

Introductions

Okay, people. Here's my new blog, Movie Reviews! I'll just go through a little of the details:

In this blog, I will have a list of movies I have seen and felt like writing down. (The good and the bad). For my entree titles I will have the title of the film and next to it, the number of stars I gave it. In the blog, I will have a list of movie stars shown in the film, the name of the director, and a personal description of the film and how I thought about it. (Perhaps I'll throw in a clip or trailer if I can find one on YouTube)

So that's how this is going to work. I hope this blog will be of use to you.

*Note: All reviews are based on my personal opinion only. Just because I say something about it in here doesn't mean I'm certain you'll feel the same way.
