Movie Review: The Lorax

The Lorax

Oh. My. Gosh. This was one of the best movies I've ever seen!

It's a story about a boy named Ted. He has a crush on a girl named Audrey. When he finds out that her dream is to see a real living tree, he sets out on an 'adventure' to find a tree. His energetic grandma tells him that he should see the Once-Ler, an old man who lives outside of their town made from plastic. The Once-Ler tells him parts of the story of trees, one part everyday. In the end of the story, the Once-Ler gives Ted the last Truffula Tree seed, and tells him to plant it. There is some conflict with the greedy town zillionaire, Mark O'Hare. He and his bodyguards try to stop Ted, but in the end Ted has all of the townspeople and the two bodyguards on his side. The trees grow again and the Lorax comes back to see the Once-Ler, who has trees growing in his yard.

This movie is definitely two thumbs up, and a 4.5 star rating!

          

 

   

Movie Reviews

Movie Review Number One:

Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer

THIS movie is really funny and made me laugh more than two times. Judy makes a plan to have the best summer ever with her friends. But two of her best friends go away, leaving her to do the plan with her third friend, and her Aunt Opal. I recommend seeing this movie. 

Movie Review Number Two:

Rio

RIO is a great movie for families. It's about a bird who is taken from the jungle, abandoned in Minnesota during winter. A little girl finds him and promises to take care of him. She names him Blu. Then, when they are grown up, a man finds Blu and wants to bring him to a special place where he wants Blu to mate with a female, Jewel, to save their species. The movie brings on a crazy journey, and it is up to Jewel and Blu to decide their fate! I recommend seeing this movie also!

The Gold Retrievers

This is the first movie we watched last night (since my mom had to go out my dad let us watch two movies!!) - The Gold Retrievers. It has a few kinda scary scenes, but they're not even that scary at all! Here is a trailer:

 

I really liked this movie! I don't want to write too much about this movie because it would spoil it for you!

Sounder - The Movie

As I said in my last post, I would write a post about a movie we watched last night. It is called Sounder, and it is a Disney movie. Here is a trailer. It is not the version that I watched, but I think they are pretty much the same!

Sounder is a movie set in the 19th century. It is about a boy whose father is taken away unjustly, because he is black. The boy looks for his father, and travels far from home. He doesn't end up finding his father, instead he finds a book and a special friend. His friend is a black school-master who offers to teach him to read and write in exchange for the boy doing some of the teacher's chores.

Sounder is a movie based on the book by William Howard Armstrong. It is a truly touching movie, and I give lots of credit to that people who worked so hard to make this movie happen.

 

I hope you watch the movie or read the book, because I won't reveal anymore!

P.S. Sounder is a sad movie, just so you know.
