Movie Reviews

On the weekend James and I went to see Freedom Writers, Hilary Swanks (sp?) new movie. It was amazing! I loved every minute of it. For those of you who are not familiar with it, it is about a first year teacher in 1992 who goes to teach at a school where they have an integrated system (bringing poor students from low income neighbourhoods to other schools out of their district). In L.A. (in 1992) the gangs had reached record high numbers and Freedom Writers deals with a teacher trying to break through to these gang students to gain their trust. It was an amazing storey, especially because it is a true storey. It is a MUST SEE! (Rated PG)

Another good movie is The Pursuit of Happyness, with Will Smith. Love the movie! Just a little tid-bit of information for you, in the last scene of the movie where Will and his son Jayden are walking down the street and a man in a suit passes them on the street, well that is the real life Chris Gardner (who Will Smith is playing).

There you go, there is 2 movies for you all to see.
