TOY STORY!!!!!

Toy Story was created in 1995 and it stars Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Cast Away) as Woody, and Tim Allen (The Santa Clause, Wild Hogs) as Buzz Lightyear. This was pixars first feature film. The movie starts out by introducing Andy, a proud toy owner who has many toys but his favorite is woody (Hanks). Woody is the leader of the group so when Andy gets a new toy, Buzz Lightyear (Allen), Woody is very jealous. He's always been the favorite so when this new guy stepped on his turf he was pretty shaken up.

When Andy wants to take Buzz to his birthday party at Pizza Planet instead of Woody, Woody tries to hide Buzz in an atempt to win back Andy's attention. It works and Woody gets taken instead of Buzz. Little does Woody know that Buzz is waiting in the car to confront him. They stop at a gas station where Buzz and Woody get into a fight and end up getting knocked out of the car. They end of getting into a whole mess of trouble and even though its a kids movie this is a great one for everyone! I give it my highest approval rating.

Forrest Gump

My movie choice this week was Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks and Sally Field. This is a heart warming story about a man just trying to live his life. He grew up in Alabama and was always considered a little slow. As a child he had to wear leg braces because he walked funny and it made kids not really like him that much. His best friend is Jenny and she also plays a very big role in the movie.

Forrest Joins the army and meets his good friend Bubba who sadly dies at war but leads Forrest to open up a shrimping business in his memory. Forrest goes through a lot of different things that really show how truly good of a person he is. This is a great movie and I'd recommend to anyone who likes good movies and isn't mean.

Mrs. Doubtfire

Mrs. Doubtfire was created in 1993, it stars Robin Williams (Flubber, Jack), Sally Field (Forrest Gump, Steal Magnolias), and is directed by Chris Colombus. The movie centers around a man who is going through a divorce and is fighting a serious custody battle. The court only allows him a little bit of time each week to see his children so he goes to drastic measures to see them more.

He sees that his wife is looking to hire a nanny so he decides to, with the help of his brother, dress up as an older woman and try to get the job. He knows his wife very well so he knows exactly what to do to get the job and it totally worked. For a long time it worked out and everyone was really enjoying the arrangment but soon his son will learn the truth and then all the children find out. This was a hilarious movie and I have always loved it. Its great for all ages and has some amazing actors. I would recommend it to anyone! :)

Cast Away

Cast Away is the story of a FedEx executive, Tom Hanks(Big, Forrest Gump), who survives a plane crash and is forced to survive on a desserted island. He has to adapt physically and mentally to survive and provide for himself. After a while he starts to get kind of lonely and bored and starts opening packages that were along board with him during the crash. While doing this, he opens a present to someone that was a volleyball. He paints a face on the ball and names him Wilson. Wilson becomes his only companion. At one point he has a bad tooth that he is forced to remove himself with a pair of ice skates that he found in the wreckage.

This movie really shows how hard it is to survive on your own without any help from civilization. This is truly a great movie that I loved watching. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a great story with great acting! Tom Hanks is amazing and I enjoyed this very much.
