Mobius 1975

Our 1975 movie is Möbius  a story that takes place both in the past and the future. It is s story of a young man played by Robert  Deniro and his two friends played by Peter Fonda and Sygorni Weaver all are very popular actor in the 1970's It is directed by the director of the godfather Coppala and the cinimatographer also from the godfather Gordon Willis. Our studio would be paramount because they desitibuted coppalas other films. This film is very 70's because there is drug use and mature content. There is also not really a heros hero  the main carachters make lots of unwise decsions. There is also a lack of a real plot similar to Easy Rider. The rating would be rated R for violence drug use and mature content.

Movies in My Spare Time: Les Mis

Les Misérables

Les Misérables, Where to start... Well I loved it but it's Les Mis so I knew I would love it going into to it but what I didn't know was that there would be so much stuff I didn't quite love. 
The first being the amount unnecessary changes to lyrics believe me I know there were many changes that were necessary but there were some that were not. And when they added lyrics that were not in the original show even someone who wasn't familiar with the show could tell because it was not the same rhythm as style as the rest of the show. 
The songs however were sung stupendously except for the case of Marius. His tone was not suited for the part and he was not the best Marius I have seen and I think it was a poor casting choice on there part. When the Marius in my high school's production is better than a movie Marius you have a problem.
On the other hand I think Anne Hathaway did an amazing job as Fantine. The one shot of I Dreamed a Dreamed was moving and I couldn't see it being done any other way.
The talent on this set was amazing to beable to sing live and turn out such an amazing production. I give it 3 out of 5.
   

Movies in my Spare Time: Struck By Lighting

Struck By Lighting 



Struck By Lighting is a Tribeca Film Festival film written by and staring Glee's very own Chris Colfer. The movie centers around a hopeful and sarcastic writer Carson and his hopes thats black mailing the school into writing a literary magazine will help his chances to get in to North Western.  Chris did an amazing job on this movie, though you don't really notice at all the movie's plot was kind of well I don't really know it didn't seem like a movie more like a book by John Green. But I never noticed that watching the film, I connected with the character of Carson and though he wouldn't be a like able person if you went to school with him there is something about him that we can all relate to. The film was defiantly like nothing I've ever seen before on screen. I would give a 4 out of 5 because I feel like there was something in the plot that as a movie it was missing but the actor were great and the movie was amazing I would defiantly recommend it to teenagers and adults alike but most of all to writers.
