The Lady of the Lake: The Legend of Lake Ronkonkoma (2024)
Nostalgic
With Lake Ronkonkoma being the town I grew up in, it's no shock that this movie immediately caught my attention. I've always loved movies, and it was truly breathtaking to see my hometown in such a masterfully produced film. I think the cinematography was truly astounding. Every shot felt strategically planned and executed to fit the current situation. Cinematography can make or break a film. Along with the cinematography, I felt the lighting really did a great job captivating the viewer's attention and interest. I thought the warm lighting in the first scene in the bar was a great way to set the foundation for the film's narrative. My favorite character was Adam Schultz, who was played by Seth Gilliam. I thought it was amazing to see Gabriel Strokes from The Walking Dead in my hometown. Furthermore, I felt Gilliam played the role really well, as if the role was made for him. This movie is a great representation of our hometown, and it feels good to be represented in cinema. It's also a riveting story; I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a deep narrative. I'd love to research more stories about Long Island and make those stories come to life, as I feel a lot of information about us is unknown by a lot of people. My official rating for this movie is 10/10. I implore everyone reading this to go watch it right now.
Reach (2018)
Incredible Story
As someone who was bullied as a kid, this movie really hit me where I live. My favorite part of this movie is how well someone like me is able to relate to it. Seeing Steven in the same situation brought me a sense of comfort, as I was not the only one who grew up like that. I also liked how much of an inspiration Clarence was. There were plenty of incredibly written characters. My favorite was definitely Clarence. Not only was he a hero at the end of the movie, he was a beacon of hope for Steven. I wish I had had someone like Clarence in my life. This movie is perfect for all ages who have been made to feel weak or non-existent at any point in their lives. My official rating is an 8/10. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a feel good flick with a strong narrative.
Four Cousins and a Christmas (2021)
Fun time
Four Cousins and a Christmas is a movie that highlights the importance of family values. My favorite character was Uncle Seb. I felt he was a great comedic addition to such a sad and heavy situation. The main factor that would draw people into the movie is the Christmas theme. This would be a great addition to a holiday movie marathon. The main aspect of the movie that stood out the most was the set design. I really liked how carefully put together everything was. The environment felt very warm and welcoming, which is what I would expect for a Christmas themed movie. In conclusion, I'd say this movie is very well worth the watch. Its story is truly captivating, with funny twists thrown into it every now and then. My official rating is 8.8/10. I will definitely watch this again and encourage others to watch it as well.
