Stuck in Love Movie Review By: Ethan Trinh

 This is something to speak a lot about in everyday situations— the commitment between the couples in this indie, the screenplay is the best, the soundtrack is so a well done on this motion picture directed by Josh Boone! The cast is so talented and relatable! Nat Wolff, Greg Kinnear, Lily Collins, Jennifer Connelly, Logan Lerman, Liana Liberato were so memorable and exquisite to their acting! The drama and bond between some of the characters in the ending is so extraordinary, also the scene where Rusty (Wolff) realized his girlfriend, Kate (Liberato) had been raped and drugged was such a extravagant performances by Kinnear, Collins, Connelly, and especially Wolff! This movie will make you smile, cry, laugh, and just a lot of emotions in your system. It's funny how Nat Wolff's character-- Rusty, there's an actor named Rusty Joiner, he plays the man ruining the marriage of William & Erica Borgen. Also, wonderfully played by Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly. It was a terrible position to notice seeing your girlfriend or boyfriend being raped or molested, seeing Nat Wolff break down during that scene was intense as heck. First time I saw this gem of a movie, I was a teenager just bored out of his mind. I wanted to watch a movie, didn't know which to watch, so I went on YouTube. I saw "Stuck in Love" the full movie on there and I didn't regret that I stubbled upon this romcom/drama. Not even once, it was that good. After watching this movie so many times, I hate to say... it gets tiresome, even it is one of my beloved movies on my list. Each single character you can for sure relate to mentality and physically. Sometimes, it's a good and a bad thing. It was nice seeing Kristen Bell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Spencer Breslin, they play individuals as a home-wrecker of William and Erica's marriage, a girlfriend abuser/bully of Kate's, and a true real friend of Rusty's. It was kind of sad not noticing a last final scene of Rusty and Kate making things work in the end. But, I was fond of hearing Stephen King's voice in the film and Rusty getting his "book" published which is actually lyrics of a Beatles song. PS: that's one of my favorite classic rock bands of all time. 


One of my favorite indie films by far!! 

Rating: 10/10

Wonder Boys Movie Review By: Ethan Trinh

I felt so raw and precise! Amazing performance from Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr, Katie Holmes, and the legendary Michael Douglas! Every bit of each scene was surreal... in a good way.  Also loved how its subjected on writing and books as forth I wrote some books in the past and an avid reader. One can absolutely relate if they write. Books, movies, short films, music, anything. Writing is a beautiful thing and another concept of storytelling. It's wild how Michael Douglas, Robert Downey Jr, Tobey Maguire is in this movie because they worked with Marvel, in different trilogies and or franchises. But, here was when they started coming together, it was great. The acting was real natural, the cinematography was stellar, the direction was right on point. It's unbelievable how this film is based off an actual book written by Michael Chabon. Katie Holmes plays this witty college girl whose friends with Tobey Maguire's character, James Leer. She's also sexual attracted to t

Good Will Hunting Movie Review By: Ethan Trinh

  Actually I saw this because of I wanted to notice what the Boston, Massachusetts cultural is like.. anyways— Matt Damon, Ben and Casey Affleck, Robin Williams, Minnie Driver, Stellan Skarsgård put on a stellar act to their roles! I really dig the closeness between Will and Sean after their distastefulness with one another, totally dig the therapy scene where Sean Maguire talked to Will Hunting about the Red Sox’s game. And for Professor Maguire meeting his late wife at the bar and how they spoke about first dates and how his wife farted in her sleep. They slightly broke character which was one of those golden moments in this film! I didn’t like how Matt Damon’s role acquired him to be a jerk to Robin William’s part, any-who Good Will Hunting is a limitless project Directed by Gus Van Sant... made by Damon & Affleck. I could feel Will’s disheartens upon his life which was sadistic, so I understood his part in this project. There's awesome quips in this drama/romance 1997 film-

The Breakfast Club Movie Review By: Ethan Trinh

Image
  First off, I have the movie poster in my room. Second off, I fricking love this 80s vibe to The Breakfast Club. It was the 80's and it was fantastic. Third off— Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, Paul Gleason were the general misfits who had a rebel inside themselves, they however had a marvelous bond with one another later in the making of the drama. I loved John Hughes work, it’s artsy and cool! It really saddens my heart he’s gone but he lives on spiritually to become one of the truest filmmakers in the cinema’s history! I really wanna visit the high school that was filmed in this iconic coming of age film, it’s on my bucket list! John Bender, Andrew Clark, Brian Johnson, Claire Standish, Allison Reynolds... the high school students who spent the whole Saturday in detention at the library of their high school while Richard Vernon (the Dean of students or principal) aka Paul Gleason keeps a close eye on them. All of these characters
