The Hurt Locker

I overall enjoyed watching this movie, although I don't know if it's the kind of movie I would watch for a second time. This is sort of like a war movie, only there aren't battles and they are trying to keep people from dying by disposing the bombs. Also, you never know what is going to happen next, like if someone is going to explode in the next few seconds. The saddest part of the movie was towards the end when the main character was trying to get a bomb with a timer off of a man. Unfortunately, he had to leave the man to explode because there wasn't enough time to get the bomb off of him. I don't know what I would have done if the person helping the man were me. I could definitely see how that could scar someone for life. I have a feeling that the hurt locker has to do with the position the person was in, whether they were physically or emotionally hurt from the things going on around them. So the camp (or locker) is a place that causes good/normal people to feel hurt on the inside and outside.

Captain Phillips Review

Like some of the past movies we watched in this class, I had seen "Captain Phillips" prior to viewing it in class. This is a very well done movie and deserved the awards and nominations it received, especially Tom Hanks, who did an amazing job portraying Captain Phillips. I liked this movie just as much the second time because of the great acting and the suspense. What I thought was interesting was when I was told that Captain Phillips was not the same as he was in the movie, a hero. Apparently the people from Sony were sued by some crewmen, while those that kept their mouths shut received at  least $5,000. This, however did not ruin my take on the movie.

Argo Review

This was my second time watching this movie and it was just as good as my first time watching. The movie was so suspenseful, which is one of my favorite parts of any good movie, and there was a lot of action, something good or interesting was always happening on screen. I never really knew a lot about the subject of the movie, the American hostage crisis, but the movie did a great job in the beginning explaining the background of the movie, for those who don't know what it is to better understand it. Overall, I loved the movie and would recommend it to anyone who likes action and suspense.
