game plan

Game plan was a wonderful children’s movie for both boys and girls. The movie has to do with a father who doesn’t know he’s a father until one day his daughter shows up on his door steps. The movie shows the sacrifices made by this man in order to win his newly found daughters heart and how she (his daughter) gets him to do it. It has a twist through out the whole movie that keeps you drawn in and laughing the whole time. It is a very funny and heart filled movie, with an ending only made in the movies. Both the lighting and sound were average, nothing special.

memories of a geisha

This movie was an amazing story of a young girl ripped from her home and placed into a world of legalized high priced prostitution. This true story makes you want to hate it but, you are glued to the very things that you hate. The story starts off with two sisters separated from their family and then separated from one another forever. The bulk of the story is all about this little girl who eventually becomes the greatest Geisha ever known, and what had to happen in order to get their. Mixed in is a love story that at the end (with out giving it away) concludes but is not a happy ending; no fairytales here.
The lighting for this movie I believe to be amazing, and very well though out. You saw what you need to see and then some. It really caused for drama and excitement when needed. The sound on the other hand I didn’t really care for. Not only did you need to speak both Chinese and English to understand all that was said, but at times the music and background chatter or noise seemed to take over the words that needed to be focused on. I found my self many times asking the person next to me what did they just say, and they had no idea either.
But over all the entire movie was wonderful, but long. If you have 3-4 hrs to watch an amazing laid out movie this is the one for you! 
