Movie Review 3 "Idiocracy"

Idocracy is an extrememly thought out and artistic interpretation of what the future of society may look like. Similar to scenes from the movie Wall-E. This film shows a totally dramatized view of how people will live. In this film humanity does not have to do anything themselves, even basic thinking. Many people do not know how to do math or even cook without the assistance of technology. I would recommend this to anybody because it confirms the notion that America is the fattest country. Everyone should enjoy this movie simply because it gives you the actual visual to the idea that technology will rule the world and nobody will be able to think for themselves. After taking an IQ test Joe who is from another time period, is named not sure after answering a question "incorrectly". Military experiment gone wrong...definitely should be put on your "to watch list".

Short Review 2 "Identity Thief"

Identity Thief   is a film that I could say that I could have gone without watching. The main male character named Sandy Patterson who lives an incredibly boring life thus making the notion of his identity being stolen not exciting at all, considering there is nothing on the line for him to lose. The character stealing Sandy Patterson's identity named Debbie, is actually very interesting considering she is buying things most people would if they were to win the lottery. Not surprisingly, she also had people on her back for more financial reasons, although the extremes that were taken by the enemy characters was extremely unrealistic and pushed me away from wanting to find out what happens even more...mostly because it is easy to predict the plot. Overall the movie was not very funny and I would not recommend it if you are looking for a quick laugh. I expected better from the movie and it's actors.

Short Film Review 1 "This Is 40"

This Is 40  is a film that caters to the parents of the world, dealing with children, family, your romantic relationship with your spouse, your health, and your finances. This may sound normal, but there is nothing normal about this family who on the outside seems like a normal happy family. Debbie (Leslie Mann) and Pete (Paul Rudd) play a couple who is slightly discombobulated and disconnected from one another. As most married couples know, it is not easy to balance your family and work along with a successful and blossoming marriage.

The married couple has little quirks about themselves. Pete, is addicted to eating cupcakes and it annoys Debbie, wanting her husband to be healthier for their family now that they are 40, needing to make better choices to prolong their life. On the other hand, Debbie secretly smokes cigarettes, which also annoys Pete. This comedy shows how even if there doesn't seem to be a balance in life, you can get through your most stressful times if you open up to your loved ones and work as a team. If there is one thing to take away from this film, don't have kids because they seemingly make life hectic when it doesn't have to be. "Accidents" are almost at a constant throughout this film, providing drama and comedy at its finest.

Movie Review for "Why We Ride" (Critical Review)

I have just recently watched the movie "Why We Ride" as I enjoy riding passenger with my boyfriend on his motorcycles, and I am involved and interested in the culture itself. Little did I know that the people featured in this film are not just riders, but addicted to riding. It is easy for me to understand why. Despite the fact that I ride as passenger, I can easily relate to these people based upon how they describe their riding experience not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically. This film magically reaches out to all people, whether they ride or not, involving an element that is persuasive, making the audience addicted to the thrill and community that riding brings.

Why We Ride is a documentary that brings forward new angles of viewing motorcycles and the people riding them. There are scenes highlighting the rider, passenger, and spectators point of view, with narrations as to how each person is influenced by this culture. The people the choose for particular interviews are of all age ranges and are both men and women. Different from motorcycle riding being just a hobby or a thrill, it was described as something they cannot live without in their life, and more importantly it would not shape them the same way if they weren't riding. Many parents shown in the documentary describe motorcycle riding as a discipline element  for their children whether it be to get them to learn a skill or something to take away as a disciplinary action, not letting them ride.

The sense of community is ever prevalent in the documentary, showing that there is a sense of unity unlike automobile drivers. The friendly wave to the other motorcyclist is a commonality and shows the camaraderie between family, friends, and even people you don't know that pass you on a bike. Riding is more than it seems to the outside community to people who do not ride. For example, riding tends to make people more social. You can start out riding alone, and then notice another biker going the same way as you, and along the way make a life long friend.

Most people forget about the numerous generations of the motorcycle. Therefore, if you are a rider watching this documentary you can learn  about the different types of motorcycles and how they have evolved along with the rider throughout time. The images used in this documentary make the viewer feel as if they are in the action and part of it, and it gives you a sense of accomplishment and importance, provoking you to start riding and enjoy everything motorcycling has to offer such as physical, emotional, and psychological release with the great bonus of becoming part of the biking community.
