Lincoln
Lincoln
, directed by Steven
Spielberg and starring Daniel
Day-Lewis (
There Will Be Blood,
Gangs Of New York
) as Abraham
Lincoln, takes place during the final
arduous months of the Civil War
and of Lincoln’s life. This was one
of the darkest times in our nation’s
history, America had been torn in
half; this was a war of ethics as
much as it was about economics,
and more than half a million
Americanswould be dead before it
was over. This movie gives us a
unique view into Lincoln’s struggle
to make the right decisions, and to
create policies that would end the
war and ultimately reunite the
nation.With Spielberg at the helm,
we can expect this to be an
incredible picture of our 16th
president. There is little doubt that
this film will be one of the big
Oscar contenders of the year. Don’t
miss
Lincoln
, which is slated for
release on November 16.
Wreck-It Ralph
Wreck-It Ralph
is the latest
animated film from Disney, and
introduces us to rather unusual
character: Ralph. Ralph is the
villain in a classic arcade game.
His job is simple; try to destroy a
building while his nemesis tries
to repair the damage and
destruction he causes. Ralph has
been wrecking buildings for the
last 30 years, but he’s tired of
always being the bad guy. He
doesn’t feel like he belongs in his
game anymore, so he decides to
abandon his post to see what
else is out there. Ralph embarks
on journey that will take him
through a wide variety of game
types and genres, all in an
attempt to try and discover who
he really is and where he
belongs. There seems to be no
shortage
of
classic
game
references in the film. Parents
with memories of their own
childhood gaming experiences
will likely enjoy this film as
much as their children. This
movie looks like one of those
rare gems that will be fun for the
whole family, check it out

Life of Pi
Life Of Pi
, Based on the best-
selling novel by Yann Martel, is
the story of an Indian boy
named Pi. The son of a
zookeeper, Pi is on a ship with a
variety of wild animals traveling
across the ocean when a terrible
storm overtakes their ship. The
ship is being torn apart by the
wind and waves, so Pi escapes
on one of the lifeboats. However,
Pi soon discovers that he is not
alone on this boat. He is, in fact,
floating in the Pacific Ocean
with a zebra, a hyena, an
orangutan and a fully grown
Bengal tiger. They are all fighting
for survival out on the sea, but is
there a chance that they can
somehow come to accept, and
perhaps even rely on one
another for their survival? The
answer may not be quite what
you expect in this fantastic story.
The visuals will be a huge draw
for most moviegoers, as they
appear to be nothing short of
stunning; taking on an almost
dream-like quality as the film
moves between being set clearly
in reality, yet at other times
shifting into fantasy.
Life of Pi
hits theaters on November 21.
