***MOVIE REVIEWS*** Welcome to the movie reviews club! This is a club about if you like movies and what age limit you would "rate" it! You can give a brief description about the movie and how appropriate it is. (not to detailed) Thanks for joining!

I have a negative submission:
***MIDNIGHT STALLION***
Brief summary: A family is struggling to keep their ranch/farm. They invest in wheat-grass, in the process they go deep into dept losing the crop in a storm. Their only hope is in a wild stallion they name Midnight winning a race.
They capture him, train him, and enter him; and they win the race.
***NOTE: I was not very thorough in my summary.


To me, this movie was unrealistic, equine facts were for the most part incorrect, for example: When the daughter walks right up to Midnight, the stallion doesn't lift a hoof!
Another time; they set up a trap, and a short time after construction, he walks right into the trap. He escapes, though.
The race: They didn't even win it! The race was run in 3-mile heats, and there were three heats. Another person won the first heat, it was a dead heat in the second, and Midnight won the third. For Midnight it was 1 win-1 loss-1 tie, and for the other horse it was the same. So they didn't even actually win the race, but- it was ridiculous.
Other unrealistic details:
1. In the movie, the race was filmed from different points, and also played in slow motion for the audience.
2. The first prize for the winner of the race was $50,000: an extremely unrealistically large sum to say the least, especially for a small-town, local horse race.
If you think I'm being ridiculously negative, you are entitled to that opinion. I may have possibly exaggerated in a few of my comments, but go ahead and watch it to see for yourselves!
I believe it was rated PG, I would rate it the same.
Please check it out, and correct me on any of my statements if you find them to be false.

Wow jjpals!! I've seen it twice and the 2nd one twice. Now I've seen Lord of the Rings more than 4 times i think. See I can't even remember how many times!

AragornandArwen,

You can write a review about the 2nd hobbit. Just don't give away too much or else you'll spoil the surprise. :)

***Secretariat***
Follows Helen Bates "Penny" Chenery Tweety, the owner of the great Secretariat, before and during the horse's racing career. I went absolutely crazy when I first watched it. It is funny, sad, intense, and very entertaining.
I recommend this work to any horse lover.
Its PG, 123 minutes long, an awesome movie!! I personally LOVED it!!

ok sugar1loaf2 I won't give too much away.

The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
Rated PG-13 and I would rate it that too. It is 2 hrs and 41 mins. Action/Adventure/Scifi/Fantasy. It is an awesome movie like the first Hobbit. The dwarves, Gandalf and Bilbo continue their journey to the Lonely Mountain and meet more elves and LakeTown. I'll stop there before I give too much away. I could describe it more but then I would spoil it. It isn't a kid movie much like Lord of The Rings but Tolkiens books were more directed to teens and adults but I'm not saying that kids can't read them. If they can understand it. Anyway back to the movie. I would give it 4 out of 5 arrows.
