You Can't Take it With You
So I watched this movie last night with my family at a recommendation from my Economics course. This is a great movie. Definitely worth watching. A Good Old, Charming Classic. Jimmie Stewart and Jean Arthur star as "society-crossed lovers". Jean plays Alice who comes from a quite care-free and eccentric family. When she falls in love with Tony Kirby, son of the high and wealthy Anthony P. Kirby a very well-t0-do banker, his parents disapprove of the match. So she sets out to get their blessing and nothing goes as planned. A brilliant blend of humor, fun and politics. I think that kids 8+ would get the humor mostly, but a very family friendly film. Highly recommended. :D Plus a great message. :D I loved it. :D

Soul Surfer
So I'm gonna review the Soul Surfer book and movie.
BOOK
The book Soul Surfer was really good. I read this before I saw the movie and I totally devoured it. It was really interesting. For those of you not familiar with the story, it's about Bethany Hamilton. Bethany is a pro surfer. In 2003, when she was 13 she was attacked by a 13ft. Tiger Shark and lost her arm. It's her story. She wrote this book a year after and it's basically introducing her life, what happened before and after the attack, how people reacted, and how she got back on the surf board. She is a great surfer despite her arm loss. It's truly an amazing story. She's Christian and she really tells how she trusted in God and she was able to overcome her obstacles. I highly recommend this. My mom and I both read this book and thought it was great. It wasn't a hard read. Fairly easy, but still worthwhile and great.
MOVIE
I think that the movie was a very good portrayal of the book. They did a really good job. They did not over dramatize the attack. It was not gruesome or gory or descriptive. They simply showed how it was and it was totally fine. Yes, they did leave some things out. But most movies do. But the things they did leave out were a bit minor and there for inconsequential. I think they added one or two things, but what movie doesn't? Overall, this was a good movie.

Movie
Akeelah and the Bee
This is a great movie. It is about a black girl named Akeelah. She is really good at spelling, and she eventually makes it to Washington D.C. for the National Bee. My family really likes this movie.
