Shawshank Redemption Review

When Shawshank Redemption first came out, it BOMBED at the Box Office review, and pretty much went straight to VCR. But when those kids who have nothing better to do on a Saturday night decide to watch this movie, it almost immediately went through the roof. Ironic, isn’t it? A movie that sucked when it first came out, it getting over a thousand views a day, and the film slowly spread across the world like a virus. To me, I thought that the movie was great. It had a powerful combination of friendship, action, deceit, and endurance.

If I personally would try to get this movie into the Hall of Fame, there would be a number of points I would touch on. For one, the choice of actors in that movie were absolutely perfect. Tim Robbins played an awesome Andy Dufrane, and the decision for Morgan Freeman playing “Red” was absolutely superb. Even aside from the heroes, the actor that played the Warden, in my opinion, did an absolutely top-notch job, in doing the whole, “evil guy who’s supposed to be a good guy kills an inmate to keep his personal banker” thing.

Another point I would make is that the location was an extraordinary setting for the story. The use of an actual prison I think really put emphasis on the filming, and all other settings used.

The final point I could use is the excellent construction and order of the storyboard. The entire way that all the scenes were layed out, and the order that they were really made the movie what it was. Every single twist and turn in the movie made any viewer rooted to their seat more, with every passing scene.

That, is why this movie has such a good name today.

Wow. that certainly was a debate and a half. 3 different subjects were brought up. first we fought over downloading music. of course, i got the bad side, and since i’m the average teenager of millions who’s download millions of files of both music and video, and i had to fight against everything i believed in. Tough!

Then we had an argument over killing animals to make realistic movies, and once again, i had to say it was a good thing. NOO!!! not cool! animals should never have to be expendable

Avril Scandal Thingy

i think this whole scandal is a crock of crap. seriously, if Avril’s song got such reviews and thumbs up, then nobody really gave a crack about some other guy who wrote a song that is roughly the same thing, only a total FAILURE.

First Place for Bordem.
