Billy Madison

Top 5 Funny Scenes

1. When Billy starts to say that peeing ur pants is cool, I relate this to just making fun of yourself to make a little kid feel better about themselves after they've done something bad.
2. When Billy lies about how High school is awesome and that one fat kid says he can't wait and Billy starts shaking him telling him to enjoy elementary school, I would say that Billy's advice is true and thus funny.
3. When Billy's girlfriend is beating billy up in the pool and his two friends are like totally smashed and the friends think billy and his girlfriend are playing Marco Polo. I just think it's funny how they act and how useless that scene was
4. When the O'Doyle family drives off the cliff, funny but totally useless scene
5. When Billy chases the penguin, just plain funny.

The Secret Window

The movie is just a psychological nightmare for people who really don't like plot twists and suspenseful scenes, some like Tiff. I thought it was an enjoyable movie, just like the days of old with an Alfred Hitchcock sort of feel.

Its the story of a writer, whose played by Johnny Depp who plays it very well, and the turmoil he is put through by a man named John Shooter, played by John Tuturro, he's a dairy farmer from Mississippi who claims that Depp stole his story and made it his own. Depp's ex-wife(Maria Bello) and her lover are also terrorized by Depp and his problems with shooter. The story is full of twists and brain-melting plot shifts.

I'd give this movie a 8/10, a good movie but i felt it didn't live up to potential to be a great psychological thriller like Psycho.

UNFORGIVEN

Unforgiven directed by, he also plays the main character Will Munney, Clint Eastwood delivers a western unlike I've ever seen before. It is the story of a washed up hire-for-peacekeeper Will Munney and the lives of his partners Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman), and the Scofield Kid (do not know the actor) before, during, and after being hired to kill to young cowboys who cut up a prostitute.
Before the money was offered, Will Munney was the father of two young children who only cared to give them better lives and trying to escape his past which was filled with killing and drinking. So one day, a kid comes riding up to the Munney homestead. He's there to offer Munney a job to get some money but to get it he would have to find his spirit to kill again. The kid says he is the Scofield Kid, whose used to killing folks. Munney turns down the job at first, the offer of money to renew his life for himself and his kids finally turns him west to go to Big Whiskey, Wyoming. He brings along his old partner Ned Logan, who is played by Morgan Freeman and any movie with him in it is always good, Munney persuade Logan to come along.
The Movie from that point on is awesome, with Lil' Bill (Gene Hackman) beating the crap out of people and he's just a B.A. in this movie. The plot is twisted between the good and evil that people possess. It is just a plain ol' good movie, I'd give it 9/10.

NEVER BACK DOWN

V For Vendetta and Dark Knight C&C

The similarities of these two movies are too obvious to miss. Both are vigilantes who are looking for the betterment of the world that they live in. They wear masks. They both hate having to use guns. They use martial arts to subdue their victims. They both have found love and are willing to give up their fight for it. They both wear mostly black attire. Both Movies are based off DC Comics and Graphic Novels. Both are friggin' great movies. Both are visually stunning movies.

The differences are always very apparent. V uses his ability to kill and cause chaos to bring down the totalitarian government that is oppressing his country. Batman doesn't kill anyone, his style is coerce information by martial art tactics. V is fighting the government. Batman is helping the city government catch the joker, who is more like V in the fac that V uses the people's anger and wants the chaos to create anarchy and a revolution. V uses big knives, while Batman uses technology advanced weaponry. V shows blood more, while the Dark Knight doesn't. V gets the people to rise up against their government. Batman wants the people to put their trust in the Gotham Government.

Overall both movies are awesome and I would give both a 9.5/10 rating.
