Yesterday I went to the movies with my roommate. She insisted we see the movie 'PUSH'. I sighed in disbelief and went to the damn theater.



Not that I have anything against action movies, it's just...with all these Oscar nominated movies out right now, she chooses 'PUSH'.



It starts with a voice over by Dakota Fanning. She explains that in 1945 the Nazi's found people with psychic powers and started doing tests, to make them weapons. Now OUR government is doing these experiments in present day. "The war ended, but the experiments didn't." There are many variations of these people.





Pushers - They push thoughts into your head. They make you think whatever they want you to think, is true.



Movers - People with super telekinetic powers. (The main character is a male that doesn't quite have his 'moving' powers at their peak.)



Bleeders - When they scream, the decimal they reach is unfathomable. The sound makes you bleed out of every hole of your body.



Stitches - They can heal you...and also kill you.



Watchers - People who can see the future. (Dakota Fanning is a 13 year old watcher)





This really should have come out in the summer. Seasons really DO have an affect on how much a movie makes. If you have a theater within walking distance of your house, and you're not sure if you're going to like the movie you plan to see, are you more likely to walk to the theater in 75 degree weather or 25 degree weather? Exactly.



'PUSH' is definitely a summer movie. Other than that, it's just a run-of-the-mill action movie. Nothing spectacular, nothing ungodly horrible. Just a movie.



There was a lot of hub-bub about Dakota cursing in this movie. She says "Shit" twice. That is the only time she curses. It wasn't shocking, either. If anything, it was foreign and awkward. There were even times when the filmmaker tried to make her look sexy. In one instance, there was a shot of Dakota in a short skirt holding two guns. The camera only focused on her thighs and hands. Trying to make it seductive. GROSS!!!


In any case, the movie on a scale of 1-10 was about a 5.
A lot of college age kids are more likely to see movies like 'PUSH' rather than 'Doubt' or 'Revolutionary Road'. Please stick to the Oscar nominated movies. They are well worth it!
