Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Saiyan_Prince_Vegeta This is a nice movie and a nice movie with Tom Cruise where he is the main actor. It's a movie about an american football player who wishes to get into a good college by being good at football. When I started watching it I thought it's gonna be a typical sports movie where the team loses at the beginning, but in the end of the movie they get really good and win the championship. This is not the case, the movie is not about that. It is more of a story of a football player and his conflict with the people who surround him.This is what I've learned in this movie: Sometimes when people are angry or emotional they might say something that they don't really mean and might regret later. So it is not worth starting a war and hating each other, but it is always worth giving people a second chance, but also checking yourself, checking if it wasn't your fault as well. Sometimes it's really hard to stay calm when you hate someone, but ** it is not worth burning the bridges **.Also after watching this movie I have an impression that if you are a good sportsman you don't really need to be smart and university will still keep you and give you a degree?

G K I've got to say that I'm not fully satisfied with my video about the best teen movies of the 1980s. There are at least two movies that I should have included. They are Footloose (1984) and All The Right Moves (1983). I myself wouldn't call Footloose an '80s classic, but it's still good enough to have made it to my list, though it wouldn't have been in the top 20. Footloose is an epic story about one teen's struggle to... dance and listen to pop music in some American backwater town. Footloose does have a good soundtrack, which is one of my favorite soundtracks of the 1980s. The movie itself isn't bad, and it has some good performances, but it's the soundtrack that I really like. The one movie that definitely should have made it to my list is All The Right Moves, which is easily one of the better teen movies of the 1980s. Unfortunately, I somehow forgot about this movie while I was making my list. What a bummer. First of all, there are good performances from Tom Cruise, Lea Thompson, and Craig T. Nelson. But every performance in this movie is solid. Then there's a good story with a message, which is actually not an uncommon message in Hollywood movies. No matter how hard life gets in the US of A, you can still pull through and triumph if you really try. Well, you can believe that if you want to. Unfortunately, there are a few things that, for me, weigh down this commendable, realistic look at life. One is the presence of sex jokes. The other is the presence of American football. The sex jokes kind of cheapen this otherwise good movie, and I've never been a fan of American football. These two things are staples in many other American teen movies. By the way, All The Right Moves was available on Netflix for a while, but it later disappeared.Now, let's get to my thoughts about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I have not seen this movie, and I'm not planning on seeing it because I learned my lesson after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But the controversy surrounding this movie is quite interesting. Of course, as I predicted, The Last Jedi, while not being a good movie, got showered with praise by paid movie critics, just like the awful The Force Awakens was showered with praise. Many ordinary and honest people, however, said that The Last Jedi is even worse than The Force Awakens and that it ruins the legacy of Star Wars. Some grown men even said that it made them cry because they had to sit and watch their favorite franchise being ruined by Rian Johnson and Disney. In other words, the peasants rebelled. It seems that not all Americans are brainless consumers yet, as the people at Disney may have thought. The Disney propaganda machine and its buddies in the media and on the internet decided to fight the backlash. Numerous articles began to be released online claiming that the people that don't like The Last Jedi are either obsessed fans or grown men who live in their mothers' basements. Even more favorable reviews of The Last Jedi by Disney's buddies and army of paid critics appeared as well, claiming that The Last Jedi, though certainly not being a good movie, is still kind of original and that it tries something new. But, wait a minute! Didn't the people at Disney say that these new Star Wars movies are for the "fans"? Now, all of a sudden, they're saying that these fans are annoying crybabies and that the movies are really for children (because children often don't care about the quality of movies and because the propaganda in Disney movies is meant to influence children). But Disney and its numerous partners in crime are going even further. The popular website Rotten Tomatoes has recently announced that it won't tolerate users who are intentionally voting down Disney movies because of their anger with The Last Jedi. The reviews and ratings of such users will be removed from the website. Criticism of the Disney monopoly and its bad movies will not be tolerated. In addition, the popular website IMDb recently changed the way user reviews can be viewed. Yes, you no longer have the option of which reviews you want to read, be they old or recent, negative or positive. Now all reviews are in only one section and only the most popular reviews can be viewed easily on the website. Still, even this measure didn't prevent the fact that user reviews of the The Last Jedi on IMDb are almost all negative. But let's not forget about Google (the owner of YouTube), which is another popular American website that's heavily involved in censorship online. Try finding a negative review of The Last Jedi by using the Google search engine. You'll have a very hard time doing this because only reviews that praise The Last Jedi are easily found on Google. Honest reviews by ordinary people are intentionally pushed back. You can still find such reviews, but it'll take some time and effort.It's worth pointing out that I'm not a hater of Disney or of the messages in its movies. I wisely didn't even go and see The Last Jedi in a theater because, as I've mentioned, I learned my lesson after seeing The Force Awakens. I didn't see The Last Jedi simply because it's a bad movie. But what Disney has been doing (releasing unoriginal remakes of beloved movies and crushing dissent) is biting. But this sort of behavior is typical in the USA. Of course, Disney isn't the only Hollywood studio that's releasing bad and unoriginal movies nowadays. What still surprises me sometimes is that some people still think that The Force Awakens is a good movie, though they didn't like The Last Jedi because of its obvious flaws. Well, this just shows that not everyone is rational and informed. Many people are mindless consumers who just want to watch CGI and explosions on the big screen. My younger sister, for example, is such a person. I'm sometimes stricken by the irrational things that she says. And, yes, she does own an iPhone, like many other mindless consumers. Well, such are the people that are being brought up by the capitalist system. They don't question the system or the authorities, and they live for mindless entertainment and consumption. That's why those awful Transformers movies directed by Michael Bay made hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.

Desertman84 All The Right Moves is a film about a headstrong high school football star of Ampipe High,Stefen Djordjevic,who dreams of getting out of his small Western Pennsylvania steel town with a college football scholarship. It also results with a head-on collision with his ambitious coach,Coach Nikerson,who also aspires for a college position, resulting in a conflict between them.Definitely,it was one of the better blue collar films made in the 1980's. Djordjevic,played by Tom Cruise in his first dramatic starring film,is a high school defensive back seeking a college football scholarship to free himself from the economic hardship that small Pennsylvania town of Ampipe,a town struggling through the downturn of the recession of the 1980's.While Ampipe High appears headed to win the game,a fumbled play in the closing seconds leads to a Walnut Heights victory.After the game, Coach Nickerson,played by Craig T. Nelson, lambastes the fumbler in the locker room, telling him to quit the team. When Stefen retorts that the coach himself quit, the coach kicks him off the team.After the game,some angry Ampipe fans vandalize Coach Nickerson's residence. Stefen is present and is a reluctant participant, but is nonetheless seen by Nickerson as the vandals flee. From there,Stefen deals with personal battles,including dealing with the coach who bans him among colleges because of his attitude and his relationship with his girlfriend,Lisa,played excellently by Lea Thompson.Stefen,frustrated by his current situation,confronts his former coach and his girlfriend whom he has set aside as his aspirations of getting out of Ampipe has become a big part of his life.At the end of the movie, Nickerson,with the help of Lisa,realizes he was wrong and offers Stefen a college scholarship for playing football at CalPoly where he works on a college position,which he accepts.The movie was simple and ordinary.The story was predictable.What stands out is the acting of Cruise,Thompson and Nelson.The direction of Michael Chapman was also commendable. Also,the movie has great original songs namely: "All The Right Moves";"The Last Stand";"This Could Our Last Chance"; and "Blue Skies Forever".Overall,the film was good but not great.Highly recommended for people who loves Tom Cruise and The Never ending Story star,Lea Thompson as well as people who wants to reminisce their great memories of High School.

Sandcooler The most noteworthy thing about this movie, and probably the only reason why it's still around, is that it has Tom Cruise in one of his earliest starring roles. Aside from that, there isn't really much to it. It's not bad I guess, but it's just all so plain and mediocre except for some of the acting. This script is one of the most predictable things ever written and just hums by with no surprises of any sort. You can't bring a lot of variation within the formula of a small town drama, but for the love of God, try a little. Often it just really needs to get to the point, because things get pretty boring if you already know the ending an hour beforehand. The raw, realistic filming style of the movie is in fact pretty good and really expresses desperation, but it just doesn't make the story any more interesting. As far as very young Tom Cruise goes, it's "Risky Business" all the way.
