It’s finally here! The epic marvel super hero tie up, and the kick off to the summer movie season The Avengers! I have one thing to say about this movie: That was amazing! I think it was as the other reviewers said “A great kick off to the summer movie season.” This movie starts out with Nick Fury and a few other familiar faces working on the little blue cube seen in Captain America, when they accidentally open a portal to a different world bringing Loki to our world to destroy it and become the new ruler. The action was amazing, the camera work and directing were greatly done, the script was unexpectedly great. Appropriate for ages 8+. If you have a lot of friends out there, or you want to take your girlfriend on a date, or want to see a family film, then assemble at the nearest cinema for R. D. Junior, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Rennen, Tom Hiddleston, and Sam L. Jackson in The Avengers. Also there are some extra scenes after the credits, and The Amazing Spider-Man trailer is amazing!
127 Hours
Amazing movie! Very intense, real, and true. Based off the true story, an engineer by the name of Aaron has a hobby of adventuring out in the California canyons. One day he falls into a canyon and gets a rock trapped on his arm. Consequently, since he didn’t tell anyone where he was going, he’s stuck there for 127 hours, and undergoes many trials. James Franco was pronominal, the script and directing where great, the movie over all was fantastic. Rated R for intense violence, disturbing images, and sexual content. A real must see.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
That film was amazing. If you’re looking for an action movie for he weekend, or are just board and want to watch a movie, this is it. Great action, comedy, script, and best of all graphics. Based off the comic book series, Scott Pilgrim dates a girl named Ramona who has seven evil ex’s who Scott has to defeat to secure Ramona’s love life. Rated PG-13 for sexual content, and language. Buy it on DVD today.
The Hunger Games
That was an amazing movie!! You have to read the books before the movie. It’s a very intense movie with some heart felt moments, and action sequences. Katness Everdeen is a girl from district 12 who volunteers for the annual hunger games. A fight to the death on live TV. I think this is as close as you can get to The Lord of the Rings. Amazing movie, the books are a trilogy, so that means three folks. The Hunger Games, only in theaters and IMAX.
The Muppets
The gang is back with an all new movie, and Amy Adams, and Jason Segel, and a lot of other guest stars. In modern day America, Walter (a fan of the muppets) tries to help Kermit T. Frog reunite with the other muppets and get their studio back from an oil tycoon who wants to tear apart the studio for his own purposes. A fun family film with action, comedy, and romance. Available now on blu-ray, and DVD.
The Adventures of Tintin
Do I really have to say much for a Peter Jackson movie? It was a great movie and it has the golden globe to prove it. Tintin is a British journalist who has come upon an antique ship of the unicorn, and shortly after purchasing this fine item discovers the history of the ship. A wonderful film for children and adults alike. On DVD and Blu-ray today.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black
Great film. I found it very similar to ALIEN, but in its own way. A ship with people on it crash lands in the middle of a desert planet witch looks to be dead, but the thing they don’t understand is what happens when everything goes pitch black. A tremendous cast including Vin Diesel, great plot, and the action was kick butt. It’s a great movie, with kick butt action, gripping suspense, and an actor that can do it all. Appropriate for ages 16 and up for action violence and language.
HUGO
That was a great film! Martin Scorsese is a man of many good movies. HUGO is about a boy who is left a robot from his late father and goes on an adventure to fix it. Truly outstanding screenplay. It’s a wonder that it was nominated for so many awards. I’d highly recommend for the family. Appropriate for all ages, although it’s rated PG. You will love it. A shame it didn’t win best picture.
The Planet of the Apes
That, was an excellent movie. For its time, this movie dominated. Three astronauts take off from our earth and fall into hyper sleep for about 2000 years. I know, older than Ellen Ripley (ALIEN, ALIENS, etc.) They crash land on a planet controlled by apes. Great story, cast, the only thing I have against it is the way the apes talk. Buy it on blue ray, DVD, and rent it on netflix. The Ides of March
Excellent. A great political movie that asks you, Who do you trust? I absolutely loved. Ryan Gosling plays a man working for George Clooneys characters run for president. When Gosling finds out he’s been bamboozled, he tries to get revenge with one key piece of information he has. A stunning film with great acting, screenplay, and directing by George himself. Now available on red box, DVD, and blue ray. Rated R for language.
