My Relationship with Movies and a Review

I have been watching movies since I can remember. Nothing brings me more joy than a well-done film. I spent many years trying to enhance my knowledge of film by watching as many movies as I possibly could from multiple genres. Once I had become well-versed with filming techniques and different types of film in general I began to realize what made a good film and what made a bad film. This realization, along with my love of writing, compelled me to start writing movie reviews. I initially started with the classics but eventually found myself wanting to review the newest films to be released which is what I will be doing on this blog. My first review for this blog can be found below. Enjoy!



The Internship

Released on DVD October 2013


3.5/5


The charismatic duo that brought you the hilarious antics of Wedding Crashers is back! Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson team up, once again, to bring hilarious laughs to a new generation of viewers. Tackling the dynamic between technology and decreasing amount of employment Vaughn and Wilson decide to try their luck at Google by working at an internship for the summer. This internship is unlike any other with the smartest young adults from across the country literally competing for the few available positions to work at Google. Strong performances from the supporting cast perfectly compliment the hilarious performances from Vaughn and Wilson who produce unforgettable one-liners and laugh out loud performances. There chemistry on the screen is undeniable and keeps the film from falling flat due to its predictable, campy plot. Vaughn's straight-faced one-liners mixed with Wilson's child-like sincerity along with great supporting performances from Will Ferrell, Olivia Wilde, and Dylan O'Brien, create an outright entertaining film. Although, this movie isn't as raunchy as the humour we are used to from these guys this movie is still worth watching even for the geek references and easily quotable one-liners.
