Blog Pick Week #20

   Sometimes there are movies that remind us of what was, or what you may have dreamed of doing yourself. If you have never seen this movie before, here is your chance to get in on one of the biggest hits of the 80's. The comedic classic starring Matthew Broderick in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
   Ferris (Matthew Broderick) is your typical slacker teenager, who would rather go out and have a good time then get stuck spending a day in school. So to accomplish this he fakes being sick so his parents keep him home, and then enlists the help of his girlfriend and best friend, in living in up for a day. Ferris of course has his enemies, his jealous sister (Jennifer Grey) that cant stand how he gets away with everything, the school principal (Jeffrey Jones) that will stop at nothing to bust Ferris in the act.
   "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" was a comedic home run in the 80's and arguably one of the best movies to come out of that decade. Loved by audiences everywhere and still quoted to this day. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" will leave you laughing and also bring back memories of your younger days. I'm sure Ferris will remind you of someone you may have known, I know he did for me. Until next time happy viewing.

Blog Pick Week #19

   Webmoviepick had made this pick previously before we went to blog, but nevertheless we felt the need to recommend this movie once again. A film that captivated audiences everywhere and one that took home two Academy Awards. Our pick for this week is the 1995 crime thriller "The Usual Suspects".
   According to some, when crimes occur and a police lineup is setup, a group of regular suspects are brought in. Criminals that may or may not have had anything to do with the crime in question. In "The Usual Suspects" that is what we have here.
   A boat explosion with all of it's crew and cargo destroyed, except for one person. His name is Roger 'Verbal' Kint (Kevin Spacey), and he isn't your ordinary criminal. 'Verbal' is a partial 'cripple', who seems more like one who would be a victim and not a felon, still he may be the only clue to unlocking the mystery of what happened on that boat. His tale begins with his telling of how he got mixed up with 'the usual suspects', and leaves the question of who in the world is Keyser Soze?
   "The Usual Suspects" is a brilliant crime thriller that will keep you guessing. Masterfully directed by Bryan Singer and written by Christopher McQuarrie (who won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay on this film), in addition to a spectacular cast headed by Kevin Spacey (who won The Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor on this film). In my opinion this movie is the perfect example of a great film. So this weekend take the time to see "The Usual Suspects", if you don't Keyser Soze will get you. Until next time happy viewing.
