Higher Movies: The Pursuit of Happiness

Posted At: 10:24pm by Bloghardt

The Pursuit of Happiness is the new emotional drama sweeping the box office.  Starring Will Smith and his son Jaden, the two actors play a father-son duo who undergo trying times in San Francisco.  The story, based on real- life, starts with Will Smith’s character, Chris Gardner, trying to sell bone density scanners.  Gardner has little luck though, and after having invested his life savings in the business, he soon finds himself short of money, but not short of bills.

Higher Movies: "Dead Man's Chest"

Posted At: 2:44pm by Bloghardt

If you're one of those people that hate cliffhanger endings, Pirates of the Caribbean:  Dead Man's Chest is not the movie for you. Just wait until the DVD comes out to watch it.

That said, I had my suspicions about the end of this movie because they filmed both PotC 2 and 3 at the same time. I figured they would both have something to do with each other. Overall, though, I’d say it was a pretty good movie.

But, don't read this if you don't want to read a bunch of spoilers. ;)

The movie was pretty much like the first one. Lots of jokes, some slapstick humor, and good-looking actors in pirate costumes. I thought that the jokes sometimes made the movie a little bit sillier than it had to be. But hey, it's a movie about pirates with Johnny Depp in it. Who cares?

Got two...but they aren't very high.

Check our Sandra Ostapowich's review of  RENT and Miss Erin Stephen's review of Richard and Jane.

Reading the reviews might be better than watching the movies on these (wink).
