Everybody loves a good movie

Who doesn't? This holds true for absolutley everybody.  And everybody has favorites.  This holds true for me,too.

One of my favorite movies is The Goonies.  The Goonies was one of my favorites since childhood.  It is about two brothers, Mikey(Sean Astin)  and Brand Walsh (Josh Brolin), who are preparing to move because developers want to build a golf course in the place of their neighborhood--unless enough money is raised to stop the developers from building the golf course,but that is doubtful.  But Mikey and his friends Clark "Mouth" Devereaux,(Corey Feldman) Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen, Andrea "Andy" Carmichael (Kerri Green), Stefanie "Stef" Steinbrenner (Martha Plimpton), and Richard "Data" Wang, calling themselves The Goonies, find a pirate's fortune. They set out on thier mission,but they have to avoid major criminals, the Fratellis. This is one funny movie. It will keep your attenion until the very end.

Another one of my favorite movies is  Stand by Me.  Four friends, Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern set out on an adventure to find the body of Ray Brower,who got recently got killed.  The stakes are upped when an older gang is also after the body.  It becomes a race to see who can recover the body first. There is a twist-so be prepared. Stand by Me is one of my favorites becuase it is a good coming of age story.  The acting is also off the charts. Corey Feldman (of Goonies and Gremlins fame) plays Teddy. The late great River Phoenix plays Chris. This is the best performance of Phoenix's career.  It is also the most remembered.

My last favorite movie is Despicable Me. The story is about a villan named Gru, who is a complete failure. He has a new plan-to steal the moon.  Gru delights in all things wicked.  Gru is armed with shrink rays and other wicked tools,until three orphans screw up his plan.  He bonds with the orphans who are Margo, Edith, and Agnes. Gru is seen as a potential dad. The funniest part of this movie is the failed attempts to trap the villian. But the minions steal the show. This is a funny movie for kids and adults alike.

Yes. This certainlty holds true for me.
