Fantastic Mr. Fox

Do you like Oceans 11?

Do you like Wallace and Gromit?

Do you like the color orange?

If you said yes to these three questions, then you will enjoy this movie.

look I know it's a weird movie but I think it's witty and fascinating okay?!

Pride and Prejudice

I don't even need to give a review on this movie because you've already seen it.

If you haven't, then I don't suggest you watch this movie...I suggest you get a girlfriend!

Score: 98%
Rating: Green

Seriously though, it isn't just mushy, lovey dovey, romance mumbo jumbo. It is well written, beautiful cinematography.

Extraordinary Measures

This movie taught me that if your 2 kids are dying of a muscular dystrophic disease, go find a cure.

That's right. If you want a miracle, go and get one.

Completely inspirational and nearly life changing.

RED

This movie takes killing very lightly.  It's like; wake up, brush your teeth, kill a guy, go check on your little avocado plant growing in a jar in your kitchen, kill a couple more guys, complain about how bored you are with killing, kill a bad guy with a syringe,  reminisce on the good old days when you used to kill so often, then kill a couple more bad guys.

I kinda liked it, but I probably shouldn'tve.

Score: 75

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I really didn't mind that these "persians" were full fledged, WASP american actors. It was still exciting with a little bit of a twist at the end.

Deep Blue

This movie is rated G, but a baby gets mauled and eaten by a killer whale and they show the whole thing including it's mauled corpse and bones!

Okay, so it was a baby whale but still!

Also, a seal gets launched like a hundred feet in the air which I died laughing at.

Secretariat

This movie is kinda like "The Blind Side", but instead of the strong female figure believing in a big black kid, she believes in a big brown horse.

I mean that in a good way!

It also threw in what I considered to be a surprise ending.

Two Brothers

Considering I couldn't train my Shi Tzu  not to pee on the decorative table plant, I cannot fathom teaching a full grown tiger to chase a car. I also can't imagine as an actor, staring a 600 pound tiger in the face without crying. (especially a 10 year old actor)

So, despite this movie's slow start. I enjoyed it immensely.

August Rush

A delightful combination of Oliver + Searching for Bobby Fischer

I only have one complaint about this movie...

WHY ISN'T IT A TRUE STORY!?

It's so perfect I just want it to be true.

Star Wars: Clone Wars

I think I ad libbed cooler Jedi dialogue as a 12 year old with a homemade pvc pipe light saber than this movie spits out.

In fact, this movie begs the question: When will they stop making Star Wars movies geared toward pre-teens?

The answer: probably once George Lucas is dead.

However, there is some redemption in the battle sequences, and the creativity of the character design.

If you are absolutely obsessed with Star Wars, you will geek out about this preview 10X more than the movie itself.

The lightning fast dialogue and fascinating plot is not worth the content.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

The acting in this movie is top notch. Seriously this is probably the first time I've watched Shia LaBeouf without thinking of Louis Stephens. Very dramatic movie.

I'm still wondering though... Was there a moral to this story? Tell me money isn't the key to happiness!

Wow and the music in this movie is bizarre.

Watch this movie if you want raw interpersonal drama, very little sexual content, and two plain as day F bombs. (one from Shia himself!)

Despicable Me

Funny and original. A refreshing re-invention of slapstick comedy.

Also a bit heartwarming.

When you watch this movie, pay attention to the reflections and the lighting. Illumination studios gets a high five for that.

Also, Gru punches a shark in the face.

Bee Movie

Absolutely nothing like what I expected and absolutely everything I hoped for. I laughed out loud at least 17 times. 

However, the high energy humor gets to be a bit spastic. It can be slightly overwhelming, thanks to  Jerry Seinfeld's "yelling talk".  No worries though; just watch it again and you'll be catching things you didn't catch before.

"9"

"9" is a guilty pleasure.


Guilty, because it is like watching "A Bug's Life" taking place in 1946 Hiroshima, Japan.


Pleasure, because it somehow manages to be visually captivating while virtually using a brown and neon green color palette .


Score- 68

Rhyme or reason?

Is there rhyme or reason to this movie review site? If you said "no", then you're probably right. I just say what I think about movies I see. Why do you care? You're asking me! If you don't care, then tell me; why are you still reading? Do you really give a stroganoff about what movies I'm seeing and what my opinions are about if they are good? If you don't care, I don't see any reason why you should. So go back to facebook.
