The Day After Tomorrow

The Day After Tomorrow is spectacular movie. There are a lot of special effects in this movie and it actually looked believable. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Sam in the movie; he goes to a competition in New York. His father is a environmentalist and has seen that there has been a rapid change in our climate which ended up triggering a mini ice age storm. Sam’s dad needed to tell the government to evacuate people who live in the north to the south. The father tells Sam to stay where he is because if he walks out side he will freeze to death. Sam is trapped in a library with his team from the competition. Sam falls in love with a girl named Laura and one day she woke up extremely sick and she was desperate for medical attention. Sam goes outside in the eye of the storm so it wouldn’t be as bad and was able to find antibiotics. While he was outside he saw many dead people and the whole group was wondering if they were the only survivors. To find out if they were the only ones left I highly recommend watching this movie.

Law Abiding Citizen

Law abiding citizen is a great movie. I wouldn’t call it a horror movie jus very bloody. There a lot of drama in this movie, its an awesome thriller. Gerard Butler plays Clyde Shelton he is a husband and father. One day 2 men broke in the Shelton family's house and raped Clyde’s wife and daughter. Clyde wasn’t able to do anything to save them. The men killed them both and felt them there. Clyde wants to take justice into his own hands because the murderer left after 5 years cause he made a deal with the lawyers. 5 years after the murderer was set free Clyde’s plan falls into place. Clyde ends up killing the murderer and planned on killing his attorney, so they can feel the pain the Clyde went through. Clyde wasn’t able to kill the attorneys because they found out how he was killing people and ended up killing Clyde with a bomb that was meant for the attorneys. I thought the ending was very sad. Clyde was sitting on his bed and waiting for the bomb to go and he was just sitting there looking down on his bracelet that says, "Daddy" to watch the trailer you can click here.

Grown Ups

I saw this movie about a week ago and I found it extremely funny. It’s about a group of friends who were on the basketball team at school. When they were young there idol was their coach. The kids wanted to win their championship game for him. It would be his coach's first championships win. They played their hardest and won. Thirty years later the five friends received a call saying that their coach had passed away. That Friday they all reunited and spoke at the funeral. After the funeral everybody was going to spend the weekend at lenny's (Adam Sandler) vacation house. The five guys bring their family along to catch up in each other’s lives and to show their children how to really have fun other than watching TV or texting. But something unexpected happened, they saw they team that they beat thirty years ago and they wanted a rematch. My favorite thing about this movie is that everyone in this movie says hilarious comebacks to one another. They would say insult after insult and it wouldn’t bother them.  If you’re interested in watching this movie you can watch a trailer here. Grown Ups

Couples Retreat


I have always wanted to see this movie so I decided to watch it. There are four couples, one of them wants to go to Eden retreat because they specialize in building couples skills. But they don’t have the money so they asked three couples they know to go with them to be cheaper. I knew I wanted to blog about this movie but during the movie something stood out. There’s a part called West Eden and East Eden. East Eden is where you go to have fun for singles only. There are parties and new people to meet. On West Eden that would be where you go to fix your problem, strictly business. Sound familiar? Every couple goes to the retreat and has to wake up early for therapy and then they are allowed to have fun. The couple that needs help begins to receive it but the other three aren’t on the same boat. The therapist tries to make problems when they don’t have any. One of the girls wants to party and goes to East Eden to party and have fun. The couples get split up and end up meeting at East Eden and another relationship I made was that when the couples went to East Eden all their problems were resolved. The resort said you couldn’t under any circumstances go to East Eden but there problems were fixed. Kind of like the yellow wallpaper. Her husband didn’t allow her to write when it could make the situation better. This movie is really funny and I recommend watching it.

Angels and Demons

Angels and Demons is a fantastic movie. The author of the Davinci code also did Angels and Demons. This movie is very suspenseful and it’s about a race against time and murder mystery. This movie takes place in the Vatican City, where the pope died and its time to elect a new one. The Cardinals are ready to go into seclusion to choose who will be the next pope. Unfortunately there was a bomb that was found and four of the Cardinals who were elected to be the pope were missing. Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is a symbologist who works at Harvard. Langdon knows as much as one can about the Illuminati without actually being a member of the actual group. Robert Langdon was hired to find out where the Cardinals were before midnight because that’s when the antimatter bomb will go off. Every hour a Cardinal will be murdered leading up to midnight where the entire Vatican City will be destroyed. Each Cardinal will be brutally murdered with earth, air, fire, and water. Do you think they will find out all the clues that will lead them to the bomb? To watch a trailer of angels and demons you can watch it here. Angels and Demons.

Paranormal Activity

I haven’t written a review about a scary movie on my blog so paranormal activity is the first. Personally I’m not a big fan of scary movies but I like shows about ghost and haunted houses so I figured I’d be able to watch it. I didn’t think this movie was scary. There were a couple of moments that made you hold your breath and wonder what’s going to happen but it’s not scary. Katie featherston and her boyfriend Micah Sloat move in together. They both seem to hear things at night so Micah buys a camera and leaves it on when they fall asleep hoping to catch something on tape. Katie calls a paranormal researcher to come to the house and tell her what is going on but he says he cannot help. He gives them a demon specialist phone number but the specialist wasn’t available to come to their house. The paranormal researcher told them it’s not the house and that it’s a sprit that is following Katie. She had a bad experience when she was a child with her sister in their old house. Paranormal activity is about overcoming the demon that’s following Katie. If you’re interested in watching this movie you can watch a trailer here. Paranormal Activity.
