This is my review about my favorite actress and her movie it’s called (EAT,PRAY,LOVE ) In my opinion the most important things in whole life.
In general, she’s my favorite actress but I really liked her character in this movie it was talking about A married woman realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to "find herself".
 I liked the point that if this isn’t the life you want, you have to change it to what you really want, you have to look for the way in which you feel that you’re soul is reassuring and you feel completely satisfied about your life.
I really enjoyed the story of the movie and when I read the book I derived a lot of benefits from it.
The director of the movie is Ryan Murphy and the writers Ryan Murphy, Jennifer salt and the book was written by Elizabeth Gilbert.
I was really surprised that the Ryan Murphy had the worst foreign film Based on yoga Awards (2011) .
James Franco Award Winner as the actor of the year based on Central Ohio film Critics Association (2011).
In general that was a good story, good location , good actors and good movie
I think that was very long review

This is my review about my favorite actress, Julia Roberts, and her movie Eat, Pray, Love. It’s a movie about the most important things in life. In general, Roberts is my favorite actress but I particularly liked the character she played in this movie - a married woman who realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her life needs to go in a different direction. After a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey to find herself.

I hated The poltergeist movie when I was a child but this movie was the best horror movie ancient and had incredible scenes, it was good in its time. The Poltergeist was filmed in 1982, poltergeist is horror film directed by Gil Kenan, this movie was remade in 2015 and the people think that the remake was worse. The Poltergeist was nominated as the best sound editing and visual effects by the Academy award in 1983.

I love 'The Mask'. It was released in 1994. Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz became top stars by this movie. I think that it has lots of amazing action scenes with Jim Carrey. And so actually it was the first film for her.  This movie was used a lot of SFX and nominated for academy effect award. It's the story the man who gets green mask one day and he is changed the green man who have mysterious power.

And it was actually the breakthrough film for him and Diaz.  This movie used a lot of special effects and was nominated for an Academy award for them. It's the story the man who gets green mask one day and is able to use it to change into a green man who has mysterious powers.

My favorite movie is Homestay(2018). Homestay is Thai film based on Japanese novel Colorful.
I like director in this move. He name is Parkpoom Wongpoom. He is wonderful director. I like his filmography. Other his filmography is Shutter(2004), Alone(2007), 4bia(2008), Phobia2(2009).
Shutter is most popular in Thai and It has remakes in 2008 American version.
In addition the director, I also like CG in this movie. At beginning story of movie have a short scene used CG but it's make me impressive. The CG make scene Min(name of main charactor) fall from the building. I think CG in this scene is better than other Thai movie.

Image result for rear window

What I'd like to introduce is a classical technicolor mystery thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1954--Rear Window.
The story described a journalist named Jeff whose leg injured and need to have a rest in his apartment. One night he witness a murder through the window and he decide to ascertain the truth with the assistance of his girlfriend and servant.
The most attract me in the movie is the deeply meaning behind the plot, Hitchcock really hit on insight that a middle-age men tend to avoid the marriage therefore seek release from watching a husband murder his spouse.

The story focuses on a journalist named Jeff whose leg is injured, requiring him to rest in his apartment. One night he witness a murder through the window and he decides to ascertain the truth with the assistance of both his girlfriend and his nurse.

What most attracts me in the movie is the subtle meaning behind the plot. Hitchcock really hit on insight that middle-age men tend to avoid the marriage, and therefore seek release by watching a husband murder his spouse.
