  • Sample Review

    I watched the movie Captain Phillips last weekend.  Most of the action in the movie takes place on a ship off the coast of Africa.  The most famous actor in the movie is Tom Hanks, who plays the captain of the ship.  The ship is attacked by Somali pirates.  The pirates have guns, but the people on Captain Phillips’ ship do not.  The captain tries many ways to stop the pirates from hurting his crew members.  You might like to see this movie if you like suspense.
