Captain America Movie Review

Captain America was exciting and worth the price of admission.  Full of cool gadgets and espionage. Very good movie. Go see it. 8 out of 10.

The Lego Movie - Movie Review

The fact that I have to add a dash in the title of this post shows the type of humor you will enjoy from this movie. A great and truly original movie. I love creativity and there is much to anticipate. A fun movie where you really don't care about the story as much you do the visual effects, characters, and satire. Seeing it once is not good enough. You are bound to miss some joke or image. I will definitely buy this one; its enjoyable for all ages. Its refreshing that I'm not the only one who finds batman a little annoying. Great jokes, you'll find yourself laughing louder than the kids. Enjoy both in the theater and at home and never lose the child within you... stupid President Business and bad cop! :) 9 out of 10 only because the movie feels longer than it needs to be!

RoboCop Movie Review

I was able to catch RoboCop a couple weeks ago and I was surprised that the storyline was pretty much nothing like the original. Despite this fact it kept me interested. Its rare to find a remake thats better than the original. This one was far from better and I almost feel like they had to change the story up to keep your attention. I was convinced into going to see this one and I thought it would be corny. It wasn't as corny as I expected. The action scenes were exceptional and the unknown actor did well. Of course Samuel L. Jackson yells at some point in the movie. Rated PG 13... yes. The suit still looks stupid to me no matter what color it is. I give this one a 7 out of 10. Not bad.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Movie Review

Not a complete waste of time as some of the movies I've reviewed, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty takes you on a trip to destinations you only imagine of actually going to. This is fitting since the main character zones out and finds himself lost in imagination. The special effects and cinematography in this film deserves a grade of A although the actual story line is a bit empty. Everyone who fears stepping out of their comfort zone can relate to Walter Mitty but we are left unfulfilled because we don't know what Walter Mitty will do next. We are led to believe he will continue a mundane life but after all he went through, he should be much like the CEO of Virgin Mobile. I enjoyed the movie personally. There were moments where I found myself laughing out loud but not hysterically (I didn't expect to). A smart humor. I would definitely reccomend (did I really just say "smart humor" and misspell recommend?... yes) seeing this in the theater but catch a matinée deal. "Beautiful things don't ask for attention". I give this film a 7.5 out of 10.

Anchorman 2 Movie Review

This sequel was not all that it was hyped up to be. I personally thought the first movie was much funnier. Granted there was a few scenes where I found myself laughing out loud but not as many as I had hoped. The focus on news and how it has changed was very interesting and there were random celebrity cameos of which I'm not sure was necessary. I'm a bit disappointed but not enough to discourage you from watching it; just don't spend your money at the theater. A short wait for it to be available on DVD and Blu-ray will suffice. We give this one a 7 out of 10.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Movie Review

So I initially wanted to leave one word for this review: EXCELLENT! However I guess this would not be a really good review so here we go... This movie was great. The costumes and set design were beautiful. The special effects were nowhere near cheesy and Jennifer Lawrence really "acted her ass off". It was rather long at nearly 2 1/2 hours but it didn't feel like it and once the end came upon us we didn't want to leave. Why must we wait a whole year to see the next one??? Why? With all of these predictable movies out, Catching Fire is refreshing. If you haven't read the books this movie makes you want to read them. You want to know what happens next. On another note the theater was packed and the show I planned to see was sold out and so was the one following it. Oh yea, and the monkey scared everyone in the Theater (lol). Lenny Kravitz!!! We miss you already!!! This is a must see and you must see it in theaters!!!! I give this one a 9.5 out of 10. BRAVO and I will be seeing it again.

THOR: The Dark World Movie Review

"THOR 2" was much better than the first one. There was more action and less love story. Although slow at times, it kept my interest. Plenty of chuckles and really cool shots. Most of the movie is set in Asgard which I appreciated but I'm the type that digs fantasy. We feel bad for the "bad guy" but a twist at the very end was all but unsuspecting.  I would say wait until you can rent it unless you find a good deal on tickets. A short review reflects my mood towards the film. I give it a 7.5. out of 10
