Holes (2003)

Absolutely the worst movie.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Blistering performances.

This film created in 2003. Andrew Davis is the director of «Holes» and Louis Sachar create a great screenplay. It is a great adventure movie in Texas and it was filmed in California. The movie last, 117 min. The main characters is Stanley Yelnats (Shia Laboeuf), the second character is Hector Zeroni (Khleo Thomas) and the others actors are very good.Stanley was accused for a crime that he did not commit, he went to a juvenile detention camp and he dug holes. When his best friend leaves the camp, Stanley leaves to find him. For survive they went in the top of the mountain. Finally they dug the last hole and he found a … During his trip, Stanley found something that was most important than the wealth.The costumes are very cool because the actors are dirty and they are sweating. But the film don't have good setting because it is not realistic (themountain). But the other landscapes are very realistic.The movie has no full visual effects but the yellow spotted lizards are very realisict. The soundtrack is very good for a film. The movie has full song and my favorite is the first. But when Kissing Kate Barlow kills the people the soundtrack is very offbeat, for the others action scene is good.I will talk about the incoherence between the book and the movie. In the book Stanley is big but in the movies he is skinny. The warden has no red hair in the movie. When Stanley and hector Zeroni leave the holes, in the book they are slow but in the film they are faster.i think that it is a great movies and I appreciate the film. I recommend to listening this film.Raphael 202

Holes is a 2003 adventure comedy drama movie directed by Andrew Davis. The story takes place at the end of the 20th century in Texas, in Camp Green Lake exactly.Camp Green Lake is a camp for bad boys.When Stanley Yelnats (Shia LaBeouf) is unjustly sent to Camp Green Lake he didn't know that the camp was related to his family and his no- good- dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather.One day, Stanley found a lipstick tube that belonged to the famous outlaw kissing Kate Barlow.From that day, he knows that the warden (Sigourney Weaver) is trying to find something.When Stanley and Zero(Kleo Thomas) escaped from the camp, Stanley broke the curse that was in his family.The movie won three awards like the Sierra award for the best family film,in 2004.And they was nominated for nine awards like the critics choice award for the best family film-live actions or the MTV movie award for the breakthrough male performance.Why holes is a good movie for me it's because it bring to life the novel with the same name on which it's based. I think it's because the screenplay writer is Louis Sachar, the author of the novel. If you didn't know, he played a little thirteen seconds in the movie. Try to find him :). Holes the movie had little differences with the book for example: in the book Stanley is tall and fat but in the movie he's just tall.In conclusion,I liked that movie because it's very similar to the novel, the casting and the soundtracks are good. I highly recommend that movie for person who love to see movies with their family.Chaoui Mohamed 202

This movie is a really good adventure drama comedy. Released in 2003, this film is based on a book of Louis Sachar. The story happened in Texas. The main stars of the cast are Shiaa Laboeuf,Sigourney Weaver and Jonh Voight.Stanley Yelnats is a young man who had bad luck all his life,this is because of a curse on his family that was made years ago. Now, Stanley is at Camp Green Lake, a youth detention center, at this place Stanley will dig holes everyday. The Warden of the camp said that it's to build character, but Stanley will discover that the wasteland of the lake has a lot to offer. He will find a treasure, but also a beautiful friendship story. Stanley will finally understand that some things happen in his life because it's his destiny, not because is family was cursed.The film is based on a book written by Louis Sachar, the movie was directed by Andrew Davis. This film brings characters from the book to life with succeess. The cast is really good because a lot of stars are in it ; Stanley (Shia Laboeuf)The Warden (Sigourney Weaver),Mr.Sir(Jonh Voight), Mr. Pendanski(Tim Blake Nelson) and Zero (Khleo Thomas).The soundtrack of the movie is also really good, it complete the actions. I hear «I will survive» when we learn more about Katherine Barlow. I think that the music can make a movie better, like for Holes,without the music this film might be boring.I really like this movie. The book was great and the film was also great. I don't know if it's because of the cast or the screenplay (Louis Sachar) but I didn't recognize the classic Disney movie,fortunately ! This film is not for young children but I think that children, teenagers and adult will like it.

My movie is Hole. It was released in 2003, the movie takes place in Texas. The genre of the movie is adventure, comedy and drama. The director is Andrew Daws and the screenplay is the same one that wrote the book, it's Louis Sachar. The movie lenght is 117 minutes. It was producted by Disney and it's rated p.g. The prominent stars are Shia Lebeouf (Stanley), Sigourney Weaver (The warden), Jon voight (Mr.sir) and Tim Blake Nelson(Mr.Pendanski).The movie is about the story of Stanley Yelnats, a guy s at Camp Green Lake for a crime that he didn't commit, which is stealing shoes of a base-ball player. When he went to the camp, the first thing that he saw was that there is no lake. When he was there, he made a lot of friends, but one in particular: everybody named him Zero, but his real name is Hector Zeroni. He will escape from the camp with Stanley.Now, I am going to talk about one aspect of the movie that I really like. It's the fact that the movie brings the book to life. Of course, there is some little details that are not respected, but it don't disturb the viewer. The actor were playing very well. Secondly, I really like the fact that there is family lies in the movie: Zero and Madame Zeroni, The warden and trout walker, etc.Finally I think that it's a really good movie because the story is interesting, the actors played very well, etc.Yassine 202
