The Expendables 2 (2012)
Excited about the Expendables?
Notes:
1) Of course this movie is packed full of action which is awesome! Some great moves and scenes that are very memorable and pretty epic!
2) I absolutely love how they got all of our action stars together in one kick butt movie!
3) Story is better than the first but still not detailed enough.
4) The cinematography was TERRIBLE. We had scenes where our actors weren't even in focus and shooting in dark locations couldn't get any more grainy.
5) The one liners are OK and actually make you laugh so I don't mind them. What can you expect from a movie with all popular action heroes!
Overall it was a really fun action movie to go see but just because of the famous action stars, not really because of its story.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
The Dark Knight goes down
Our director Christopher Nolan did a great job delivering us another amazing suspenseful story BUT it was a sequel which makes me always judge a film based on if it has IMPROVED from the one before it. I don't think it did, Would you say Bane was a better character than The Joker? In my case I sure didn't think so which was a huge step back for me. Bane just seemed like a terrorist not really anything special to his character. We needed to see an improvement and a better film. I just didn't see The Dark Knight rises being better than The original Dark knight. But the film ALONE is great. Its got a good story and an amazing twist. I do recommend for everyone to go see it but go in with a clear mind and not a sequel to the Dark Knight because it really has nothing to do with the one before.
The Avengers (2012)
Super Movie with Super Heroes
I was not a big fan of Superhero movies because sometimes they can really be pushed a little too far and become unrealistic. The Avengers on the other hand was pretty amazing. I went to go see it 3 times with my friends and family because of its funny lines and good action. I sat thru this whole movie 3 times and it still kept me entertained. The effects weren't anything to complain about and the storyline definitely kept me interested. Lets hope that the new upcoming sequel will be an improvement because they really raised the bar on The Avengers! I recommend this movie for everyone. You can take your kids to go see this and they'll love it and if you take your grandparents....well they might just be entertained by the cool technology they didn't have in their day! :) Go check this one out guys! Its worth it!
Apollo 18 (2011)
NASA goes Nuts!
POSITIVE:
1) The story had a very "This could have happened" type of feeling.
2)It has a very old film look from back in the day which is very authentic.
3) The makeup design was very well done for our diseased astronaut.
4) The film set is very well recreated. Everything from the lunar module to the moon itself.
NEGATIVE:
1) There was not much suspense in the story. I watched this movie with ease and never got scared.
2) Its a little "Overdone" at times with its dramatic sequences.
3) Its style of filming got to me at times. I wanted to see more but it felt like I was only seeing nothing but camera's malfunctioning.
4) The Alien/Creatures are fairly small and I don't understand how they could wreck a ship or FLIP OVER a moon rover/car with their size.
P.S. Make sure your space buddy doest try and kill you! :)
The Possession (2012)
Daughter turns Demon!
As soon as I sat down in the theater I was hoping this wouldn't be the copy of the 1973's "The Exorcist". The movie began and within the first MINUTE I was already saying "Its gonna be really difficult to sleep tonight!" There are moments in this movie where you want to grab onto the edge of your seat and scream at the movie screen! Our lead character "Em" (the little girl) deserves an award, It is really really difficult to be a sweet little loving girl and then in a second turn into an evil spirit. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes satanic/demon/ possession movies. Also kinda why its called "The POSSESSION". Horror fans go check this one out, it definitely had me scared to look at the screen at times!
P.S. Don't buy a box with an unknown language on the side at a yard sale!
