scott pilgrim vs the world


Scott pilgrim vs the world is one of my ultimate favorite movies. and it was directed by the one and only Edgar Wright.(also directed Sean of the dead). It starts off about a nerdy kid named scout pilgrim from Toronto Canada.



Scott Pilgrim played by one of my favorite actors Michael Cera is an unemployed 23-year-old bass guitarist in an up-and-coming garage rock band who is dating a  17 year old high school girl, Knives Chau. Because he had recently broken up so hes doing irrational things. He is very happy until one day Ramona Flowers is introduced on roller-blades into his life. He then could only think of Romona and completely forgot he was dating knives. Ramona moved to Toronto from NY to find peace and quiet and leave her past behind. No one knows what her past is, but Scott so dispiritedly wants her as his new new girlfriend. Before Scott can begin dating Ramona, he must prove himself by defeating the league of her seven exes who controls her love life. They will do anything to get rid of and destroy any new boyfriend Ramona may come across. Scout finds this out when he and his band get a break and get a gig to play. during there turn scout was ambushed by Romonas first evil ex and learns what he must do to win her heart.


This movie has great actors and it even had its own music composed just for this movie. Its fun, exhilarating, comical, and action packed. There's love, fighting, and music who doesn't like that? Its defiantly nothing like you've ever seen before in the movie that's for sure. It also incorperated video games into the plot. Its like a what if video game concepts were real kinda thing, for example when he defetes an evil ex he turns into coins like in an aracde.


I thought this film didnt have any significant messages to it but it was just a movie about what scout would do to be with his new found love. I thought this movie was filled with comdey bacuse Ive never laughed so much in a movie theater before. There is however one draw back to this movie and i think its gereration baced for the concept. like any other folks wont get the hummor or jokes becasue they didnt grow up with the same tecnology my generation did. Overall I wasent bored at any part of the movie and i simply could not wait for this movie to come out on blue ray after i first saw it. So if you love action, love, music, and fights, and video games this is the movie for you.

It by Steven King

 It by Steven king was a phenomenal read brought to life by Tommy Lee Wallace. A fairly long movie running over 3 hours long in an attempt to cover as much as possible from the best seller book. Although  the story is a horrifying tale you can see the message i believe Steven king was trying to convey in the back round. That message is courage and without it non of these characters in the movie would have defeated the monster in the first place.

The movie starts out with a flash back of the main character when he lost his little brother to the monster it. This is significant because this is the fuel to his and the groups fire to defeat this thing. This film is great not only because it is captivating but it has so many great messages because it also speaks on social outcasts and kids who are bullied and called losers. Theres about seven characters in this social outcast group as kids and then as adults. It really shows that is dosent matter who you are but if you have greinds and courage you can do great things. The movie has periodic flash backs on all the adult characters showing what happened when they were kids and how they were potryed as outcasts and losers.

As each of them face their greatest fears as they they vow to avenge the deaths of Georgie the main characters brother that was killed and every other child killed by "It." They travel into the sewers followed by Henry, who is intent on murdering them for humiliating him. But instead, he witnesses the death of his best friend Belch in a manner that turns his hair completely white. Pennywise is the clowns name portayed as it and he attempts to attack the children by separating them, but Eddie one of the characters with asma manages to wound him and Beverly the only girl in the group of outcasts drives him back by striking him with a silver slug made from one of Ben's silver dollars. Their job done, the seven vow to return some day if ever It returns. Henry unfortunalty is arrested and sentenced to life in an asylum for confessing to the counts of murder of all the children.

in the second half of the movie its more focused on the adult characters and how they come back togther again and finish the job they started as kids by going back to the sewer and killing it also called Pennywise. What i really enjoyed about this movie besides the story line is the great actors it had in it. Tim Curry, John Ritter, and even seth green. fantastic acters they really made this movie shine. If you havent seen this movie i would highly suggest you go buy it and watch it. Its one of the classiscs.
