Skyfall

The world of espionage is changing and thats a really big theme in this new Bond film, directed by Sam Mendes. Bond's mission is to basically capture Raoul Silva, a hacker that releases the identity of MI6 agents every week. James Bond of course is played by Daniel Craig and Raoul Silva is played by Javier Bardem. A new obstacle that has not been thought of in the other Bond films is that Bond isn't going to stay young forever, when played by the same actor. He is a veteran that must adapt to the new age of computers and youth. The action scenes are daring and very imaginative. One thing this film does, that is interesting, is that it really treats death like it's nothing. There are a few occasions when this doesn't happen, but for the most part when someone dies it's no big deal! I mean of course people are going to die it is James Bond but the way it's done interesting. I'm not saying it's bad or good it is just something to be thought about. Daniel Craig does a great job by really separating himself from the other  actors that have played Bond. In this movie we are reminded that Bond is a human with feeling just like all of us but is also ruthless. It's definitely one of the best James Bond films yet.

Moonrise Kingdom

Moon rise kingdom is another Wes Anderson (Director) classic. It revolves a round a boy that sneaks away from summer camp to meet with his one true love. While they are on the run, the whole town goes looking for them. The film is a great adventure to go on, great to watch for anyone of any age. Wes Anderson's distinct style is so noticeable through the movie. It has a great cast that puts together a masterpiece. Watching this film is like watching something you are really intrigued by. Like the girl you have a crush on or a new toy. You are so interested you can get away from it. But not in the same way as if you were watching Super 8 or Star Wars. It's more in a way where you fall in love with the characters/story and feel connected to them.

Not Pitchy and Not Perfect

Pitch Perfect is an edgy glee that goes to college. It starred Anna Kendrick, most notable for her roles in Twilight and Up in the Air. She plays a new college student that and ends up joining an a-cappella group on campus. They compete in a nation wide competition against their arch rivals the Treble Tones. The leader of that group Bumper is played by Workaholics star Adam DeVine. If you're looking at the movie from a technical view, it was pretty bad. The editing was odd, and some of it looked like it was shot on my old camera (a cannon t2i). But the thing that saved this movie were the hilarious one liners coming from the upcoming actress Rebel Wilson playing Fat Amy. Much of the plot was left unresolved in the end. The film did good with the music coming from the a-cappella groups and the comedy from several of the actors.

Pirates of the Caribbean...Sigh.....

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. This one revolves around the infamous Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) crossing paths with his impersonator Angelica (Penelope Cruz). Jack gets captured by Angelicas father while finding the Fountain of Youth. What the puck! They had everything going for them in the first 3. Im not sure what Jerry Brukheimer (the producer) was thinking by changing the director to Rob Marshall. I mean I know Gore Verbinski (the director of the first three) was busy and couldn't do it but....Well I don't know what they could have done. I was just disappointed. It was missing the length and edginess the other three had. The old ones seemed like it had a lord of the rings influence, but the new one is just...It's just... Very predictable, not witty, and did not have a Jack Sparrow kind of ending. It ended to nicely. It's supposed to end leaving the viewer thinking, "What will he do next???" This one just didn't do that.

Super 8? Nah... Super B****in

Super 8 is back! It's now on dvd and is Awesome Pawsome! A visually stunning and lovable film about a group of young boys trying to make a movie in a rural Ohio town, but end up getting an unexpected visitor. I know what your thinking,"Wasn't this supposed to be like a horror movie or like something?" The answer is no. It's a great adventure film, perfect for anyone. The little things that make this movie, such as how realistic the boys seem. It's like they're really living in the moment, making real conversation. Beautiful, action packed, and funny. A great film to kick back and watch with some friends on the weekend!

Tower Heist Review... Welcome Back Mr. Murphy!

Tower Heist is basically about a group of guys that are the staff at a multi-million dollar real estate. Once things go crazy with one of the residents, they decide they are going to steal 25 million bucks from him. One thing leads to another, and a romantic relationship builds between Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller) who's leading the robbery, and Special Agent Claire Denham (Tea Leoni) the FBI agent that eventually arrests Kovacs.

The movie has its funny and unfunny parts, but is fun. When I say fun I don't mean it's great, I don't mean it's bad. Tower Heist takes the viewer on a trip that everyone has once day dreamed of, stealing 25 million dollars. Another thing the movie has accomplished is showing the world that Eddie Murphy is still a funny guy. I mean think about it, when was the last time Eddie Murphy came out with a good film? The only problem I had with Tower Heist, was the relationship between Josh Kovacs and Special Agent Claire Denham was left to open. Too the point where the viewer cant imagine what happens next. Overall a fun movie!
