Hey guys and welcome back to my wonderful blog! So since I am a big fan of movies and my dad is as well, I asked him what movie I should watch and review. He asked me if I've ever seen Trading Places and I said I wasn't sure because you know I've seen a lot of movies. I started watching it with him and it seemed really familiar but it was a nice little review of the movie.

Trading Places was directed by John Landis who also directed The Blues Brothers and many other great movies. Starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, this movie was about exactly what the title states; trading places.

I liked this movie a lot but do I think its anything like Forest Gump? No. It's really hard to beat a movie like that.. lol. Dan Aykroyd plays a rich, snooty stockbroker names Winthorpe who gets everything he ever wanted handed to him. His bosses however, apparently get bored with their jobs and make a bet on Winthorpe's way of life. One of them bets that he can make a successful stockbroker out of Eddie Murphy's character named Billy Ray Valentine. He says that Valentine could easily take over Winthorpe's job. So, that is exactly what happened. Of course it has a happy ending but I recommend watching for yourself to see what happens!

The story had a great plot and the cast was an all-star cast which always makes for a great movie. Who would've thought my dad has great taste in movies just like his daughter. ;)

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog! My name is Rhyan Cropper and I am creating a blog revolved around reviewing classic movies. I am a huge movie fan and that is mostly because my family loved and still loves to watch movies together. I have seen a lot of really good movies and a lot of really bad ones so I feel as though it'd be interesting to try and put my feedback on certain ones in this blog. There are lots of things you could potentially get out of reading my blog such as you can find some good ideas for movies to watch or you could just get some entertainment out it. I am super excited to start this blog because I get to do what I love and post my opinion about it as well! Stay tuned.

Alrighty guys I have another movie for ya'll. This weeks movie I will be talking about is Top Gun. Wow I really love this movie. It has an amazing cast and a great plot line to it. This is also one of my dad and my step mom's favorite movies so of course as a kid I was forced to watch it. Top Gun never gets old. I 100% recommend watching this movie if you've never seen it! Top Gun was released in 1986 and directed by Tony Scott who also directed many other great movies including The A-Team and Crimson Tide. In my opinion the best movie he ever directed however, would have to be Top Gun. 80's was just Scott's peak because he did so many great movies during that time. Like I was saying earlier, the cast in this movie was an all-star one. Tom Cruise is an incredible actor and was perfect for the role of Maverick. His friendship with Anthony Edwards known as Goose in the movie is one that everyone would want. They weren't only partners when they flew toget...

Okay so for this blog post I'm going to talk about one of my favorite movies of all times because to me it definitely is a classic. Fried Green Tomatoes. If you haven't seen it, go watch it because it is just a feel good movie. It is also one of my step mom's favorite movies. To me, it's just one of those movies that will never get old because if it's on TV I'm going to watch it. The film was produced in 1991 and directed by John Avnet. Personally I've never heard of Avnet but he's directed some hits such as Risky Business starring Tom Cruise, The Mighty Ducks (which hopefully must of y'all have seen) and George of the Jungle which I thought was a cute movie. Ultimately I think that Fried Green Tomatoes was his best work however. So Fried Green Tomatoes has some stars in it such as Kathy Bates and Mary Louise-Parker. Kathy Bates plays a middle aged woman going through her mid-life crisis and she meets a cute little old lady at a nursing home who ...
