Brokeback Mountain (2005) (Spoilers)

Welcome to  Bring on the Reviews!

Today we're reviewing Brokeback Mountain.

Release Date- December 9, 2005 (USA)
Runtime- 134 mins (2 hours and 14 mins)

Director- Ang Lee

Producer- James Schamus

Starring- Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams.

Scale of 1-10 (1: Don't watch it, 10: Drop everything, Go out and see this movie right now!)

Brokeback Mountain = 7.5 out of 10!

Short Synopsis:

Ennis (Heath Ledger) and Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) are sheep herders in the state of Wyoming in 1963. After a night of heavy drinking, the two find themselves in a compromising position. Their relationship quickly turns from friendship into something more.

** Warning, Possible Spoilers!!!! **

The Good:

• Heath Ledger really shined in this movie. His interaction with Gyllenhaal's character was interesting. He played a dominating male figure. Ennis was confused about his relationship with Jack. At first, he was reluctant but he gave in eventually to Jack's advances. His best scene in this movie happens when he receives Jack's shirt. The amount of emotion Ledger portrayed in this single scene was amazing.
• Jake Gyllenhaal really stepped into this role. He put on a believable performance of a man battling the perceptions of his society and the social norm of a cowboy. 
• Decent supporting cast with Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams. They added to the film with nice performances. You feel sad to know they're the victims of their husbands' charade to the society around them.  

The Bad: 

The death of Jack really was left to the imagination. You're not sure if the story the wife gave over the phone was true or not. The people in 1963 didn't accept homosexuality and that could have been the cause of Jack's death, like in Ennis' imagination. All during the movie Jack seemed a bit promiscuous and tried to hit on a fair number of guys. 

The Hypothetical:

It would be a different movie if Ennis and Jack left their wives to live with each other instead of sneaking around. The secret lives of the guys coming out could make for an interesting story especially during the year in the movie.

First Post: Introduction to Me.

Welcome to Bring on the Reviews!

My name is Dwight and I love movies!

I've thought about topics I should cover for my first post and I finally decided on an introduction.

I'm an avid movie watcher with a love for action and comedy movies. My deep passion for movies made me want to create a blog about movie reviews.

The very first movie I remember watching was The Goonies. It was directed by Richard Donner who's best known for directing movies like Superman, Scrooged, and the Lethal Weapon series.

Quick Synopsis:

A group of kids living in Astoria, Oregon decide to go on one last adventure before possibly losing their families' homes. The main protagonist, Mikey, finds an old newspaper clipping, a map and a skull artifact relating to a rumor of a hidden pirate treasure in their neighborhood.

Mikey believing in the map takes the group on an adventure of a lifetime. They run into devious henchmen and a big guy named Sloth. To their delight the group finds the old pirate ship of One-Eyed Willie. They're excited to see gold and rubies everywhere. Unfortunately, the henchmen shows up and captures them. They're able to escape from the henchmen with the help of Sloth. 

The parents afraid of what happened to their children end up on the beach with a police search party. At the end of the movie the group of "Goonies" save their families' homes with treasure found on the pirate ship.

My thoughts:

This movie is filled with mystery, comedy, romance, action and thrills. I would watch this movie each weekend when it came on TV during Saturday afternoons. For most of my childhood I would dream about joining the group of kids going on their grand adventure. They fought for a cause and went on to preserve their way of life. As I'm writing this post I can't help but think of "Goonies never die" and "Hey, you guys!"

Question of the Week: What's your favorite movie from your childhood? Why?

Have a great week readers!
