Review:

''The Shawshank Redemption'' is a Frank Darabond's american film set in 1994. It is based on the short novel of Stephen King Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Tim Robbins, the main character, plays the part of Andy Dufresne, the vice-presiden of a bank, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Ellis boyd "Red" Redding a convict of the prison, who will be Andy's best friend, is played by Morgan Freeman and Bob Gunton plays the part of Norton, the prison's warder .

Andy Dufresne is a bank vice-president cult, attracted by the literature and classical music. The skills made ​​about the murder of his wife and her lover, showed enough evidence to sentence him to death. After a hard time in prison, Andy gains the respect of his fellow inmates, befriend Red, and becomes the right hand of the Warden.He never lost hope in prison, that will make the story has a great ending.

One of the things I most liked in this wonderful film, is the teaching of life that is transmitted to the viewers. It teaches that it is worth fighting to live, although it seems impossible, one must never lose hope, because that's all you have left that they can't take away. And it shows the real friendship between two men.

Despite how beautiful is this story, I do not find many other ways to criticize. Darabound's work, let me wonder, especially since I love these films certainly did a great job. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are excellent actors. The connection that they did in the movie was very very good. It was very touching to see them act together and especially in a flawless manner, as shown in this film about friendship and values.

In conclusion, I recommend this movie. I loved the plot of the movie, because I found it very moving and entertaining, and performances by Robbins and Freeman gave the only thing missing from this film. Worth seeing this movie, because although many people do not believe it has a great lesson of life.

Genre: Action

Characters/ Actors: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman. Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman


 Review:

-Batman “the dark knight“ is a Christopher Nolan’s film. The main actor is Christian Bale, one of the best actors of Hollywood, acting as Bruce Wayne. In the film, there are many actors like Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Ecknart, Maggia Gyllenhaal and Morgan Freeman. It is an action film.

-Batman, Gordon and Harvey Dent are forced to deal with the chaos unleashed by an anarchist mastermind known only as the Joker, a he drives each of them to their limits.

-The editing team started work in Los Angeles, traveled to London and Chicago, and then back to London and Los Angeles. In London, the editors cut the film in editing suites outside the city on weekdays and worked with the director at his home on weekends. The director had also requested that the editing team keep Batman Begins online as a reference. The filmmaking team takes more time to focus on creating the best film possible. And, on the dark knight, they have created a Batman that is ready to soar.

-This movie has some great background music, adding to the suspense and thrill of the movie. While not a soundtrack someone may want to go to buy or download, it is definitely one that entices viewers to stay on the edge of their seats while watching the movie.

-In my opinion, Batman “the dark knight“ is an excellent movie, but it is worse than Batman “Begins”. The action is great, and the plot is deeper and engrossing. I applaud Heath Ledger as the real star of the show, as Batman’s most deadly enemy, the Joker.

- Review:






Wanted (2008) is an action film which was directed by, the Russian director, Timur Bekmambetov, and stars by James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. The film is an adaptation of the comic of Mark Millar.

The film tells the story of Wisley Gibson (McAvoy), a man who is tired of his boring life, which changes when he meets Fox (Jolie), who gives him the opportunity of revenging his father, who was killed. Fox presents him the boss of ‘The Fraternity’, Sloan (Freeman), who taught him the techniques to become the best killer and get his object; then, he starts to know who the people who were helping him are.

The performances of the cast were really good. Angelina Jolie played his character in a similar form as the other characters of actions film that she stared, but she is excellent. James McAvoy wasn’t very famous before the film, in spite of doing a very good acting. Morgan Freeman is a classic in this type of films, we can always see him playing the boss of some organization, he always played these characters exceptionally well and this wasn’t the exception.

Two of the most brilliant aspects of the film were the special effects in the action scenes and the spectacular sets. An example of the last is the huge textile fabric where the loom works, which is a very important element in the plot.
The special effects make the movie more intense, because it shows in detail the murders, using a lot of the resource of slow motion.

The film is excellent, because it has great performances and fantastic special effects and the story was really interesting, so I recommended it.
