The Longest Yard (2005)

Director: Peter Segal

Stars: Adam Sandler, Burt Reynolds, and Chris Rock

Summary:  A former NFL star now prison inmate is given the challenge by the prison warden to form a football team full of inmates to play in a nationally televised game against prison guards.

My Review: Classic but a goodie. Really enjoyed this movie back when I first watched it in 2005 and I still enjoy watching it now. Adam Sandler plays the perfect role of someone who is able to bring a team of rough inmates together through the bond of hatred they have for the guards. If you love the story of underdog look no further than this movie. If the adversity the inmates have faced throughout their lives isn’t enough already, the guards try to break up the bond forming in the team through dirty acts. The best parts of the movie are seeing how the team of inmates constantly respond to the guard’s corruption and abuse of their power. Would recommend this film to any sports lover especially those who enjoy American football.

My Rating: 8/10

Entourage Movie

Director: Doug Ellin

Stars: Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, and Jerry Ferrara

Summary: Movie star Vincent Chase, together with his boys Eric, Turtle, and Johnny, are back – and back in business with super agent-turned-studio head Ari Gold on a risky project that will serve as Vince’s directorial debut.

My Review: This movie is a continuation on from the extremely successful television series of Entourage. This movie will only make sense to viewers if you have seen the television series. Of course the directors and actors all proclaim that you definitely ‘can watch the movie without any prior knowledge of the television series and still understand it’. In my opinion it’s vital for you to watch the TV series otherwise I wouldn’t bother watching the film. The TV series was much better than this movie. I didn’t enjoy this movie at all with the focus being placed way too heavily on cameo appearances from real life celebrities and sports stars rather than the film itself. Would only recommend the movie to those who have seen the TV series and even then I would hope you wouldn’t be as disappointed in the movie as I am.

My Rating: 5/10

Fight Club (1999)

*CONTAIN SPOILERS*

Director: David Fincher
Stars: Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Meat Loaf and Helena Bonham

Summary:
An insomniac office worker, looking for a way to change his life, attends support groups in attempts to subdue his emotional state. After meeting a soap manufacturer, Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), he is dragged into an underground fight club that spirals out of control and evolves into something much more. The narrator and Tyler bond through the violence, a strange situation becomes complicated when Tyler becomes involved with Marla (Helena Bonham) who too, artificially attends support groups to help her continue with life. Engaging in competitive rivalry for love and power the narrator learns more about his so-called 'friend', Tyler.

My Review:
The famous Chuck Palahniuk' book, 'Fight Club' was created as film very successfully. The acting was solid, believable and very very entertaining. The way the film was directed definitely grasped the audiences' attention by representing the relateable desperate cry of the modern consumerist. Similarly to American Beauty, the film displays a mind-bending message about society and the philosophy behind consumerism and self-deterioration. *The twisted plot gives first time viewers unpredictability considering Tyler is actually the narrator. Thus, emphasising that the fights that he is pursuing are not always physical but in this case mental. The movie was dramatic as well as humorous. 100% Recommend!
