Johnny Be Good

 

For my fourth blog post i decide to watch a movie called Johnny Be Goodstaring Uma Thurman, Robert Downey jr, and Anthony Michael Hall. Johnny Be good is a movie about a very talented football star named Johnny who is the most wanted high school player in the country. Johnny is from a very small town. He has a girl friend who really loves him and a best friend who is extremely strange. Since Johnny is from a very small town he is very overwhelmed when a line of college scouts are waiting outside of his house to convince him to go to their school.  Almost every school wants him to play for their school and teams will do or give him anything he wants in order to play for their school. When Johnny first starts to be recruited he makes a promise to his family and friends that he will not get caught up in the spot light and he will do what is god for his education. As the process of becoming recruited continues Johnny starts to visit numerous schools that try to bribe him with loose women, cloths, cars, and money. This immediately goes straight to Johnny’s head and he becomes very cocky and showoffy like he said he wouldn’t be. Well when johnny returns home from his many college visits he immediately is confronted by his family and friends about his new attitude. This makes Johnny feel very bad so instead of going to a school that will give him all these perks, he decides to do the right thing and go to a college near by that allows him to play football and get a good education.

I recommend this movie to everyone. I thought that Johnny Be Good was a very good comedy that made me laugh  a lot . When johnny goes through his recruitment process it is very funny to see all of the perks he is being offered and how he reacts to them. I also thought the acting was very good to unlike some of the other movies that i have  watched. It has a good plot to which allows you to stay interested in it the whole time oppose to it going off in random directions half way into the movie. I definitely think you should watch this movie.

I rate this movie  7-10

Chuck and Buck

For this weeks post i decided to watch a movie called Chuck and Buck. Chuck and Buck was a quirky comedy about two childhood friends named Chuck and Buck who did everything together but when Chuck moves away these unseperable friends don’t keep in touch. Twenty years later Bucks mom tragically dies and a very creepy and immature Buck decides to invite Chuck to the funeral, even though they have not talked in a long time. When Buck reunites with Chuck at the funeral home Buck all of a sudden has this weird infatuation with Chuck who is now a successful producer. When Chuck goes home to Los Angeles with his new fiance, Buck can’t seem to get Chuck out of his head. So Buck then decides to take all of the money out of his bank account and go be closer to Chuck in Los Angeles. When Buck gets down to Los Angeles he immediatley starts to stalk Chuck. He constantly is popping up at Chucks work and he even spys on him and his fiance while they are in their house. When Buck finaly confronts Chuck, Chuck is immediatley freaked out and doesnt really give him the right time of day. This makes Buck really angry so he decides to black mail Chuck with a childhood secret in exchange for Chucks friendship again. For the rest of the movie Buck wont stop bothering Chuck.

I strongly recommend not watching this movie. I believe that this was one of the worst movies that i have ever seen. From start to finish the movie was extremely boring and creepy. Also i think that the quality of the movie is so bad that i could make a better video with the camera i have on my cell phone. In almost every scene someones head is chopped off. The acting also was pretty terrible. The main thing i didnt like about this movie is that it is very weird. The whole movie you watch this extremey starnge man stalk his childhood friend which is really boring and out of the ordinary. It also lakced good plot. Even after 95 minutes of that movie i still truly dont really understand it.

I rate this movie 1-10
