August Rush

I think anyone who knows me knows that I love movies. I grew up on them. :) Right mom? I can get lost in a movie, it relaxes me. I don't know that there have ever been too many movies that I have ever felt compelled to write about but I highly recommend the movie "August Rush". One critic stated that "it sang to his soul". I loved the way he wrote about it. He also stated that if you are going to go to a movie to critique the story and look for flaws this may not be the one, however, if you want a movie that you can get lost in, well this would be the one.

I love the characters. Robin Williams plays a butthead, there I said it, however, this is the best acting job I have seen him do in a long time. Regardless, his character isn't the one you will fall in love with. The boy who plays August is captivating. I had goose bumps through the majority of the movie. The story line is heartbreaking, but it's sort of like the "Pursuit of Happiness", there is hope and the idea to always pursue your dreams. Yes it's one of those feel good movies but it's a REALLY good one. The music is amazing, I loved the music.

Now without giving it away I will say that I was a bit disappointed in the ending. I felt the need to say this so that maybe if you expect to be disappointed you won't be. :) I will say though that even though I was a little disappointed with the ending the rest of the movie was so good that I didn't care. Which personally I think says A LOT. I can kind of see why they ended it the way they did but...... well I better stop I don't want to say too much. If you are looking for a good movie to watch this weekend I recommend August Rush. Enjoy. :)
