Many students have different
opinions on good and bad
movies. Some love action,
while others enjoy romance.
Some love horror, while others
think it’s just gross. When six
students were questioned on
what their favorite movies
were, none of their answers
were the same.
Lauren Crooks, 19, a nursing
major from Southampton, said
her favorite movie is
“Inception.” Besides looking at
her favorite actor, Leonardo
DiCaprio, Crooks said “It’s
such a great story! It’s crazy
what the mind can do.”
Crooks also commented on
the “Saw” Series as being the
“worst thing I’ve ever seen!”
Crooks continued to criticize
the series by saying “these
movies are just getting annoying
now! The first one was
good, but the rest are a waste
of time and money!”
Luis Navarro, 20, a business
major from Langhorne, said
his favorite is “The Departed.”
“I love movies dealing with the
mafia,” Navarro said. “A great
director, great actors, and a
great story equal a great
movie.” Navarro said his least
favorite movie was “Charlie
St. Cloud..” Navarro said “It’s
the worst movie I’ve ever
seen! There
wasn’t even a
climax or resol
u t i o n ! ”
Navarro saw
the movie with
his girlfriend.
“I mean I’ve
seen some good
‘tear-jerkers,’
but this is by far
the worst,”
Navarro said.
K e l l y
Hoover, 20, a
c ommu n i c a –
tions major
f r o m
Southampton,
says her
favorite movie
is “The
H a n g o v e r . ”
Hoover said
“It’s funny as
h e l l !
E v e r y t h i n g
about it was
great! There
was not one
part I did not
like in that
movie!”
However, when asked what
her least favorite movie was,
Hoover said “I just saw it last
night, ‘Machete’. It was horrible!
The audience can see it
was a low budget film, and the
acting was terrible!” Hoover
also had some unkind words
for one of the actresses in the
film. Hoover said, “I mean
who has Lindsay Lohan in
their movies anymore? You
have to be pretty desperate.”
Michael Kuhn, a 21-year-old
graphic design major from
Penndel, has a different view
on movies. “My favorite movie
is ‘John Q.,'” he said.
When asked why, Kuhn
shifted uncomfortably in his
seat before answering.
“Because I had a heart-transplant
last year,” Kuhn said.
“And it wasn’t my father, but
somebody’s loved one who
gave me that heart.” It’s mindboggling
to me how much
entertainment really has nothing
to do with the film. Instead,
it’s inspiration!”
Kuhn went on to say his least
favorite movie is “How to
Lose a Guy in Ten Days.” He
added that “It’s so unrealistic.
Love does not happen that
way.”
It is amazing how much
movies affect our lives. Some
people watch simply just for
the enjoyment, while others
watch for meaning and inspiration
in their lives. What’s your
favorite movie?
