feb 28th

This blog is about a movie review. This first article is telling about jesse james and for some reason I do not know this story. Im sure I have heard it before but I do not remember it. It talks about all the things he did and all the many people that he killed across america. The first half of this article talks mainly about the life of jesse james but then it goes on to talk about other movies that have been made about him and how his son played his father in one of the movies. I think the basic argument for this movie is that there is a bit of overkill about the movies about jesse james and that most of the movies about him are not very factual.
The next article titled outlaws. This article is about several movies. It is bassically just talking about different outlaws that have been in different movies or whos stories have been told over time. In the beginning it is talking about a movie called “the kingdom” which I suppose took place in saudi arabia. It talks about people being kidnapped and an fbi team doing investigations. The article begins to point out flaws in the film. It talks about how this particular director uses a lot of violence in his movies but not only is it violence it is revenge for the most part. It also insults the actors in the movie saying that jamie foxx is too unmillitary for his character to be convincing.
Later in the article it talks about the jesse james movie and how it was directed. It says that the title of the movie pretty much gives all the excitement of the movie away. It describes the movie as slow shaggy-dog meditation on the man himself. This author of the article obviously has a strong oppinion and thinks those movie could have been better played and directed. Maybe he should get into the movie buisness.
