Normally, I don’t appreciate it when classic stories are being messed with, modernized, turned into musicals, etc. However, this attempt to Americanize the beloved Christmas story by Charles Dickens somehow turned out all right. Based, of course, on “A Christmas Carol,” this movie transforms the Victorian London into America’s …

I would have to say the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” was a really good movie. When I first seen the movie I almost cried at how moving it was. It was like a real life situation and the struggles that normal people go through in life. The movie …
