Independant Film vs. Mainstream Film
The independant film that we wached was Donnie Darko. I really didn't like this movie. The only parts I enjoyed was the music, Jake Gyllenhaal and there were a couple funny parts. This movie was very hard to follow along and I felt that the movie really had no point. Unlike the mainstream movie, I couldn't find a real good hero in the independant film. The villians in Donnie Darko were easy to tell, but the hero weren't the textbook hero that I was looking for. I also couldn't remember any quotes that really stuck out to me in the independant film.

Wall-E Movie Review
I think it was really clever how the writer of Wall-E kind of poked fun at our weight problem and garbage use. In the future it showed that instead of sky scrapers, there are huge piles of garbage and that the earth is too poluted to maintain human life. I also found it funny how all the humans that were living in space didn't know how to walk because machines carried them around and did everything for them. I also found Wall-E to be very cute and I loved his outlook on life, even though he was a robot. He found the simplest things fascinating and he risked his life for Eve, the robot that he loved.

The Simpsons Movie Review
I thought the movie was really neat because the author actually had a point that he wanted to get across about global warming, our government and other issues. But at the same time there was many random jokes throughout the movie about different movies, religion and famous people. My favorite part of the movie was when Homer brought home a pig and and walked it on the ceiling while singing "Spider-pig, Spider-pig, does whatever a Spider-pig does." Though the Simpson's is a cartoon, I believe that it is made for people between the ages of 16 and older because of some of the references to movies and people that younger people wouldn't get. I also don't think that kids under 13 should watch this movie because I don't think they are mature for a couple of the jokes displayed. I enjoyed watching The Simpsons because it was a very relaxing movie to watch and the humor really brightened my day.
