Buried

Buried is a 2010 thriller film staring Ryan Reynolds. Paul Conroy wakes up to find he is buried alive with only a Zippo lighter and a BlackBerry. He slowly starts to piece things together and gradually he remembers that he and several other convoys were ambushed by insurgents. Paul gets a phone call from one of the insurgents but you will have to watch the rest of the film to know what the insurgent said and how the film ends.

Buried is a film I really got into and although there is only one actor in the film it still has more twists than most other films most of which will leave you speechless.

Illustrator

Today we were given an template on Illustrator and told to follow the steps so we would learn how to use the pen tool. I can say that after completing all the six shapes I have learned to use the pen tool rather well.

True Grit

True Grit is remake of the 1969 film staring John Wayne. The film starts off with the narrator telling us that her father was murdered by Tom Chaney when she was fourteen. She chooses to hire Rooster Cogburn to find Tom Chaney who has fled. Join Mattie Ross, Rooster Cogburn and Texas Ranger LaBoeuf on their quest to hunt down Tom Chaney and I am sure the ending will not disappoint.

This movie is probably the only one of its kind being released this year. The dialog is a bit hard to understand sometimes but this is not enough to deter you from enjoying this movie. This movie is one hundred percent authentic (costumes, scenery, etc...) so any western lover will definitely love this movie

Rating 8/10

The King's Speech

The King's Speech is a film released recently, it starts off with Prince Albert speaking at the close of the 1925 British Empire Exhibition. He fails to finish the speech because of his stammering. His wife Elizabeth    persuades him to go see Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist. Lionel Logue then tries to help Prince Albert overcome his stammering but you will have to watch the film to know if he succeeds or not.

The King's Speech is one of the best films so far this year . It has been nominated for fourteen BAFTA, twelve Academy Awards and seven Golden Globes and I have no problem seeing why. Though this is not a film everyone will like, anyone who likes to watch drama films will definitely like this one.

Bicycle Thieves

Bicycle Thieves is a film released in 1948, it revolves around an unemployed man called Antonio Ricci and his son living during the Great Depression in Italy. During his first day at work Antonio gets his bike stolen by a young thief. We follow Antonio as he goes around Rome in search of his bike.

Sometimes subtitles did not match what was being said and people who do not know Italian will have no choice but to use subtitles since this movie is only in Italian. All in all Bicycle Thieves was an enjoyable watch but since I had to read the subtitles I found myself looking more at the subtitles than at the movie.
