Magic Mike script pdf review

Many people like to generalize things to make it easier to understand the world. When the trailer for MAGIC MIKE was revealed, it was labeled as just a "male stripper movie," like how BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN was just a "gay cowboy movie." This generic label, undermining and downgrading the film's actual quality, even overshadows the fact that Steven Soderbergh is the director, who rarely make films that lack substance. Yes, MAGIC MIKE has style, but it has substance as well. Here's the kicker: Those who want to see the film primarily for the stripping may be left disappointed, as they will likely fidget in their seats for these scenes to come. As one lady sitting next to me said once the credits rolled, "Worst movie ever." On the other hand, those who refuse to see the film because of its subject matter may be missing a great film, Magic Mike screenplay pdf.

To state it simply, MAGIC MIKE is a BOOGIE NIGHTS-lite, which isn't a bad thing considering how utterly dark and depressing BOOGIE NIGHTS gets in its second half. The first half of MAGIC MIKE is light and breezy and quite funny. In fact, most of the jokes in here are funnier than most modern comedies try to achieve. We are introduced to this world that is fascinating because of how surprisingly mundane and economics-centered it is. The stripping sequences, filled with energy and sexiness, are mostly played for laughs. We get exposed to a lot of male asses, ripped abs, and pelvic thrusts, but it's all in good fun. Then, things slowly start to take a dark turn in the second half. It isn't hard to imagine people thinking, "Wait. Isn't this a stripping movie?" Characters start to make bad decisions and one thing leads to another and so on. You get the idea, Magic Mike script pdf.

The cast is terrific all around. Channing Tatum is very good as the lead role, playing comedy and drama effectively. However, I want to give a huge shout out to Alex Pettyfr and Cody Horn, both pulling off terrific performances in their substantial roles. Pettyfr, in particular, I never really liked in the films he starred in before, but he is just phenomenal in this film. Horn, on the other hand, seemed to come out from nowhere, but her rapport with Tatum is terrific. Let's also not forget about Matthew McConaughey. Even though he isn't in the film that much, he steals every single scene he's in. He's just that good.

MAGIC MIKE will either surprise or disappoint you, depending on what your expectations are. Still, it's a film BOTH genders can enjoy, and it shouldn't be limited to "a movie for the ladies." MAGIC MIKE is funny and dramatic when it needs to be, but the main reason it succeeds is because of the cast. Overall, MAGIC MIKE is a very good film. Just don't expect a lot of stripping.

Ted script pdf Reviews

I just want to state off hand that this is my first movie review, well other than just telling someone what I thought. So if you are looking for a well written, witty review then.. you might want to stop reading now. But since this movie is still in production, this will probably be your best bet for the time being.

I just went to a free screening of Ted at the Greenback theater in Sacramento, CA. And I just have to say off the bat, I LOVED it. A movie hasn't made me laugh that hard in a long time. Now, I'm not going to give you any more information than the description because with the movie not even being released yet, I think that would be a spoiler of some sort. But I will tell you that was so much better than what I imagined it would be, granted that was before I knew it was directed and voiced over by Seth Macfarlane.

So if you're a fan of his, you're definitely in for a treat, and even if you're not I still think you would enjoy the innovative comedy that comes from a snarky and crude teddy bear companion. The acting was very solid, from main characters to jerk bosses, and crazy.. well, crazy people.. the acting was very convincing and enjoyable. The story was great, while it might sound stupid to some, myself included, it's very well executed. Definitely not one of the movies that left me thinking "the idea was good, but they could have done so much more with it", it was actually quite the opposite. And this is certainly not a low budget film, the CGI animation reflects this. The furry bear voiced by Macfarlane is very realistic and believable, Ted screenplay pdf.

The only drawback I could possibly see that would cause someone displeasure would be, like a lot of new comedies, this film pushes the envelope in raunchy, vulgar humor. Plus the different amount of drugs used. This movie will receive (most likely), and be very deserving of a R rating. It doesn't rely solely on shock humor though, there is plenty of good old fashioned clean comedy. But if your like me, and that type of subject matter doesn't bother you, then I HIGHLY recommend this film. And if you're a Seth Macfarlane fan, then that's just a perfectly gift wrapped little bonus for you.

China Heavyweight screenplay pdf User Reviews

This is the film that Yung Chang and the cast and crew have outdone themselves on. the best way to say it is WIcked outstanding. It not only told the story of Moxiang Qi, Dickie Xinchun and the family aspect but was a credit to the real internal and external struggle of never giving up. "China Heavyweight" does proper justice to the hardworking ways and the People of Szetcheun and Zhongli areas.

In this film , the title has a double meaning as not only being a fighter as a boxer but speaks to many that in regular life that being "China Heavyweight" success can happen if you put the work in. The story does have strong female leads in this film that has never been shown in previous boxing based films. It is a cross over to both worlds ( male and female, Young and Old) and those that would usually skip a Boxing based film as it is much more then just that, China Heavyweight screenplay pdf.

I was at screening of "China Heavyweight" in the Beverly Hills theater with Director Yung Chang and main Cast. The Director and cast show their love and passion for this film and how hard they all worked to make this possible in their very warm words and replies to the questions from the audience. In all , a class group of fine professionals and actors put their heart and soul into this one and I hope their efforts are well rewarded when it comes time to nominate and vote for Oscars.

Katy Perry Part of Me script pdf review

This film is very much in the same style as Justin Bieber's 3D concert movie, with live footage of Katy's concert interspersed with the story of her life, both up to the moment of her success and the turbulent ride of 2011 (including her separation from husband Russell Brand). The concert footage is, unsurprisingly, alive and vivid in 3D. Fireworks, foam cannons and clouds of ticker-tape rush towards the audience, as Katy belts out hit after hit. But what makes the film interesting is seeing how Katy reached that point in her career. Many may not know of her beginnings as a Christian pop artist, and the struggle she endured to get signed to a label. It seems that her destiny was to release a movie of her life, as most major turning points of her journey seem to have been documented already by home videos and personal photos.

This blends together to become an interesting and revealing insight on how hard she has worked to reach her current level of success, including interviews with her family, support staff and friends. As Katy's tour draws on, the viewer clearly sees the toll her relationship takes. Some key shots are quite revealing, opening up a Katy Perry that is more human and fragile than the pop world would have you believe. One key shot in the film fully reveals how her personal life is impacting her greatly, yet she stands tall and paints on a smile, ready to return to the stage for her adoring fans. If you're a Katy Perry fan, you'll adore this film. If you're just an average radio listener, then you'll enjoy seeing one of the world's biggest celebrities in a much more human light.

Katy Perry Part of Me screenplay Plot Summary: Katy began documenting her California Dreams Tour, consisting of 124 performances, over a year ago. Her management team, Direct Management, soon after brought AEG into the project to film the artist's two shows at Staples Center in LA in 3D. To be released on July 5, 2012, "Katy Perry: Part of Me" will be a first-ever big-screen look at the international superstar’s life both on- and off-stage.
