Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

I really enjoyed the first movie, but this movie was way funnier!!!

I think that people who haven't really even seen the first one or have seen parts of it can still this one, and everything would make sense. 
--you'd just need to know that this local news crew is from San Diego, and Ron and Veronica are together. 

My favorite scenes:
Where Brick was forecasting the weather on St. Patricks day and was wearing green, and then he doesn't have legs, and falls to the floor twice
When Ron kept saying he's blind
When Jack Lime (James Marsden) had to change his name to Jack Lame,
and when the little boy was crying towards the end.

This movie is very racists, and inappropriate, but literally hilarious. I cried of laughter. 

I don't think this movie is in any way suitable for kids, and young teenagers. I def. think that people who are 15 or older should see it. 

GO see this movie!! 

(ps..if you haven't seen the full cast list, then you'll be in for a huge surprise towards the end)

5/5 glasses!

Catching Fire


Holy crap!!

I  read this book about 2 years ago and just reread it before watching this movie, and I am just blown away. I thought it was a lot better than Hunger Games, and had a A LOT of action!! 

The actors were literally perfect for their roles, and the arena was better than I imagined it!! 

Reading the book, more than half of it takes place before the game and I was wondering how they were going to show all the important details but I think they took out just the right amount of stuff which made it perfect. There were a few people they took out, a few added, details removed, and scenes shortened, but it was all nessesary and worked out in the end. 

There are some pretty hilarious scenes with Effie, especially at the party at Snow's house!!! :) My friends and I pretty much died of laughter!! 

I cried about 5 times during it, and got so caught up into the story, my friend forgot we were web at the movies.. She thought she was reading the book!! 

Sam and Jena were SOO good as Finnick and Johanna!! Mags was soo cute, and Nuts and Volts did a great job! Jena's elevator scene was perfect and hilarious!!

I was looking at the cast on IMDB, and I saw Jack Quaid (Marvel) on there and didn't understand why he was in the movie... But the scene you see him was done soooo well!! You'll be surprised!! 

I still can't get over this movie and how incredible it was!! Even though it's over 2 1/2 hrs long, I didn't ever feel tired, and I was on the edge of my chair the whole time!! 

This won't be a spoiler if you read the books, but I cried at: Peeta, Cinna, Mags, Gale, and District 11 tour. My favorite scenes were the interviews with Caesar, training and the evaluation,  jabberjays in the arena, the monkeys, and Peeta and the force field.

I think anyone and everyone should see his movie!! It's literal perfection. 
10/5 glasses!!! Mind is still blown, and still speechless. At the end, they show the mockingjay pin transition from each of the books, and it made me sooo excited for Mockingjay!!

The Book Thief

I am personally very interested in the holocaust, so when I heard about this movie I knew I wanted to see it. I haven't read the book, but after seeing this movie I really really want to. I knew I'd cry... But I wasn't prepared for all the tears that came out of my eyes.

I really enjoyed this movie, I honestly think this movie is equivalent to War Horse, it was very powerful and made a huge impact on me. I know it will win many awards, it deserves it! 

The little girl who played Liesel was very good, even with a straight face she had SOO much expression, and made the movie so enjoyable to watch.. 

You probably will cry, so don't wear mascara, and bring tissues... But it's so good that the pros weigh out the cons and it's a must see! 

6/5 glasses!

Ender's Game

I have not read the book, and didnt really know what the was behind this movie, I just knew that Hailee Steinfeld, Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, and Abigail Breslin were in it. I was surprised to see Moises Arias, and Viola Davis!! But the rest of the cast was fantastic and did amazing.

Once again, without reading the book, I thought the casting was incredible and perfect as the characters they played. I absolutely loved this movie, and I WILL be seeing it again, and this time in IMAX!! I really enjoyed the training area where they would have battles against other teams within the training academy.

I thought that Asa was perfect, and really made Ender perfect, his wit and "attitude" was on point. Hailee, still my all-time favorite, did a great job as Petra!!

I gasped, I was stunned, I was shocked, I was confused(in a good way), and just BLOWN AWAY!! I really enjoyed this movie and could watch it anytime, any day.

I really have nothing bad to say about this movie!!

This movie is really for all ages, I guess some images might be a little much for kids, like the Mind Games he plays on a tablet type electric, but other than that ITS PERFECT!!

6/5 GLASSES!! I WILL BE READING THAT BOOK NOW!!

Romeo and Juliet

Fantastic!

Although Shakespeare isn't my favorite, and isn't the easiest to understand.... I love this story and how they portrayed the story. 

Hailee, my favorite actress, was beyond perfect. Her co star was gorgeous... And perfect for the role of Romeo! 

I know this story and what happens but my friend and I still cried. We were just so into the story and into the movie we got caught up in the moment! 

I think so teens/ preteens who haven't read the book might have a problem "translating" the dialog but other than that it was perfect! 

5/5 glasses!!! Great job hailee!!! 

(There was a lot of kissing)

Captain Phillips

I  knew this was based on true story, but I didn't even this event happened.. And I was alive and should of heard of it.. 

Anyways, it was made very well. Tom Hanks was incredible! He should diffenently get awards for this preformance. 

I don't know if everyone would enjoy this movie, it was long and can be slow on some parts but I think most teens and up would like this movie!

Prisoners

I didn't really want to see this movie, but I really actually really enjoyed and got really engaged in the story. 

The acting was incredible and the story line was perfect. 

I was completely engaged in the entire movie and story line, I thought I knew who kidnapped the girls but then it totally changes around. 

I really don't want to spoil this movie, so there's not much I can say about it except for GO SEE IT

Don Jon

DISCLAIMER: THIS MOVIE AND REVIEW MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE--IT IS VERY SEXUAL

 Alrighty..... Uhhh I don't know what to say about this movie except that you have to be very mature and okay with the subject.

This movie is about porn, and sex...

Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a GREAT job at writing and directing this movie...the story line and the timing( showing time lapse-- week by week) was great! It was also pretty hilarious.. And it sounds weird when people hear me say "yeah I saw Don Jon and I loved it" because I'm a 17 year old teenage girl but I did! It was funny, daring, and all around great! 

But only people who a very mature should see this... (and who aren't prude or grossed out by this topic shouldn't see it)

Lots of old couples left during the movie... So just be aware of that

I give it 6/5 glasses  I've seen it twice now.. And I love it

Insidious: Chapter 2

I don't understand why I went to see this movie in the first place ... LET ALONE THE DOUBLE FEATURE!! I couldn't not handle the first one and was totally against seeing the 2nd one! But I went and I'm kinda glad I did! 

So catching up on the first one and rejogging the memory was good because then you could make the connections in the 2nd one! 

Number 2 wasn't as startling as the first but still VERY gripping. 

The first one left you guessing at the end  and so did this one... 

I don't want to spoil anything because the twist is insane and mind-boggling.. (To me it was.. But if course my mom knew it way before I did) 

I still don't understand how these movies are PG-13 because they are soo scary.. But I think this movie is for brave teens and anyone who love scary movies. 

4/5 glasses

One Direction: This Is Us

To be honest, I am a huge fan of One Direction and I absolutely loved this movie. After I heard the first word thats said in this movie, which is by Niall, I just started crying. Just bawling my eyes out because the 5 boys Im in love with are right in front of me, and it just made me soo proud to be part of such a huge fan base that supports these 5 young, talented, amazing boys.

Now, this is a concert/documentary film, and it gives you both the fans and the boys perspective, which I enjoyed very much. I also got to relive one of the best days of my life, seeing these boys in concert. And for the fans who couldnt go to one of the Take Me Home tour shows, they get a VERY nice 3D experience. I really enjoyed the fact that they put they're performance of Teenage Dirtbag in the movie, it's one of my favorite covers by them and I thought the special effects were REALLY cool during TD!! 

It was a very well made movie, and even if you arent a fan, I can guarantee that you will be after you see it.

I cried throughout the entire movie...so much so that I fogged up my glasses and couldnt see.

I really want everyone to see this movie, not just because I love them, but because it was just sooo crazy to see the behind the scenes, and to see what theses boys go through on a daily basis just gives  you such a new-found respect for them.

No one should walk out of that movie saying it was bad, or horrible, because it was far from it.

and congrats boys on such an amazing movie, and bringing all the fans with you on this journey.

Louis, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Harry.... Im speechless.




(p.s. they are shirtless a lot--and I'm not complaining)

30/5 glasses... even though this deserves 1 million glasses.
