Movies we're excited about!
The Standley Lake Library Teen Advisory Board (TAB) discussed their favorite movies plus what’s coming out that we’re excited to see.
 
The Social Network – It was an eye opening experience of what we use every day. It was also very entertaining and the actors were believable.
 
Megamind – It just looks so funny! It must be - it has Will Ferrell in it. It has an interesting plot line because evil becomes the hero and that’s very rare in entertainment.
 
Shutter Island – It was really creepy and mind twisting! It is suspense, not horror, but still very scary. It keeps you guessing until the very end. Some of the scenes were very creative and arty, so it was a piece of art too.
 
Inception coverInception – Mind boggling. Don’t get up to go to the bathroom in the middle or you will be entirely lost. It puts a new idea on dreams.
 
A Nightmare on Elm Street – It ruined Freddy Kruger! The graphics were really good and there was an adequate amount of blood. TAB member Jack was scared even though he armed himself to watch it!
 
Easy A – Loosely based on The Scarlet Letter and is similar to some high schools. It’s funny but poignant.
 
Red – It’s the one with middle-aged people who were ex-secret agents. How could that not be good?
 
The A-Team – So funny and a good connection with the old A-Team. It’s worth seeing more than once!
 
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1! – Our generation is epicly excited for it! We don’t care if the rest of the movies have failed, we’re excited about seeing it on the big screen! It reminds us of the fabulous A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel as the only good spoof off Harry Potter.
 
Law Abiding Citizen – The preview looks fantabulous!
  
Sherlock Holmes coverSherlock Holmes – Very good score, very good cinematography, but weak plot! It was stereotypical but good acting and amazing magical scenes.

Robin Hood – The recent one with Russell Crowe was either terrible or awesome! Vicki liked it because she likes the Robin Hood story and it brought him to life, plus she liked the history of how he became Robin Hood. Peter felt the plot was weak and typical.

Alice in Wonderland – The most recent Tim Burton and we loooooove Tim Burton! (At least, Ava does.) This reminds Alyssa of a Syfy movie called Alice with Andrew Lee Potts (swoon!). He is the best hatter in the world! It is a must see movie. 
 
Bonus entry: Wicked (the musical) – Amazing! It’s about Elphaba as an anti-hero, showing the bad side of Oz. And the wizard – ohh, the wizard.
 
What movies are you excited about?
