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 their professor played by Michael Douglas, his character is named Grady Tripp. Robert Downey Jr shows up with a lady, not just an ordinary woman.. it was a man in a dress and a wig. Nothing wrong with that, it was the start of everything about sexual orientation. This movie was first out in 2000, but anyhow... his character, Terry Crabtree is buddies with Grady Tripp. He eventually falls for James Leer, I did not expect that happening. I gave the book of this film to my cousin as a gift, I still prefer the movie over the book. Don't get me wrong, I think the book could be sensational... I just dig the movie more. This is a rare early 2000's movie, a gem you may say. I highly recommend it to anyone whose into writing. But, be warned-- there's a scene or two that may be uncalled for. 



Rating: 10/10 👏👏

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

  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
