Drumline

I personally do not like this movie. I thought I would enjoy this movie when I saw it because i’m in percussion but it made me disappointed. The choice of actors weren’t good, they needed a more variety of actors in this film. This movie also has a boring plot. It’s basically about a group of freshmen who are trying out to get on their college drumline which is difficult to get on your first year. The movie showed the battles they needed to go through to get on the Line. One positive thing I can say is that it showed was percussion is about. Music is very important in their lives, they eat breathe play music 24/7. There are drumline battles between schools, and how the freshmen get treated whether its in college or in high school. The freshmen always get the harder life.

I do not recommend watching this movie but here is a trailer anyway. If your interested in watching something alike I recommend watching drumline documentaries.

Despicable Me

I saw Despicable Me over the break and I knew I had to blog about it. I have to say this movie is the cutest movie I have ever seen. It doesn't have the same plot as other Disney movies. Steve Carell plays a super villain named Gru. He believed he was the best villain until someone stole the Egyptian pyramids. Gru needed to find out who stole it and beat them. A villain named Vector stole it, which now is the best villain. Gru needs to find a way to be the best villain so he decides to steal the moon. But he needs to over come some obstacles. He needs to steal Vectors shrink ray, so Gru adopts some girls so when they sell cookies to him he can plant a robot in his house. Gru ends up loving the girls and keeping them. But there we uncalled issues that happened in the process of getting the moon. I am able to watch this movie over and over and not get tired. The adopted girls are extremely cute.

Inception

Over the break I saw the movie inception and realized I haven't written a blog about it yet. This movie by far messes with your mind. for this movie to be completely understood you cannot miss any part, and you need to be focused. Leonardo Dicaprio stars as a man named Cobb whose job is to take out valuable information from someones dream because they cant defend themselves and wont know anything is going on. Cobb would do anything just so he could go back home and see his children. There was a business offer made to Cobb, if he did the job successfully he could go back home. But the job was to insert and idea in someones mind and when they wake up to keep that idea going. Cobb took on the job but he had a problem, in dreams there are projections. Projections are images from your subliminal mind which you cant control. And one of Cobb’s projections was his wife who passed away. The reason he knew inception was possible was because he planted an idea in his wife's mind and when they were in reality she believed she was in a dream. So when you kill yourself in a dream you wake up. But she killed herself in real life. This entire movie is about Cobb trying to realize he can’t keep his wife in his dreams and to get back home to his kids. The ending is truly unbelievable, and I think this movie can be enjoyed by anyone. to watch a trailer click here. Inception

Tron Legacy

I saw Tron Legacy in 3D during the break and I have to say its a great movie.  This movie is about a father and son and their relationship. One night the dad, Kevin Flynn was telling his son, Sam a bed time story about another world called Tron. Kevin is a video game designer. Sam’s dad had to go finish something at work and he never came back. When Sam’s dad didn't come back he decided to run away and not carry on the video game industry. Many years later, one of Kevin's friends found Sam and told him that his father is trying to contact him from the old arcade. Sam goes to the arcade and takes a look around and finds a secret opening. In this room there was a special machine that took you to a different world call Tron, the world that Sam's father created. Sam soon realized that all the stories his dad use to say to him was real. But there was a problem. Sam’s dad made a program of himself to help finis up Tron named Clu, but he became bad an now he wont let kevin go back to the real world. Sam wont leave till he has found his father a way out of Tron. The 3D graphics are very well done and the sound track for the movie pairs perfectly with all the action. To find out if sam leaves Tron with his dad I recommend watching this movie. To watch the movie trailer click here. Tron: Legacy

Elf

Elf is about elf that finds out he’s a human and when he was little Santa went to an orphanage and Buddy (played by Will Ferrell) crawled into Santa’s toy bag and he went to the North Pole. Buddy was raised as an elf he thought he was the same as everyone else till his adopted father told him he is human. Buddy decides he wants to go to New York City to see his real dad. The only thing Buddy knew about his dad is where he worked. Once Buddy gets to New York City he finds the empire state building where he meets his dad but his dad thinks he is a Christmas gram. Buddies father didn’t believe him so he had a DNA test done and he realized that Buddy was his son. Buddy try to live his life as a human but he cant help him self. Buddy forms a bond between his father’s family which his he doesn’t approve of. Though out this whole movie there are many funny scenes to try to get his dad to accept him and to love him. Will Ferrell is one of my favorite actors. He did a great job in this film. To see a trailer click here. Elf

Deck the Halls

Christmas is almost here so I decided to blog about a holiday movie. In Deck the Halls Matthew Broderick plays Steve but around town everyone calls him Mr. Christmas. Steve saw that a family was moving in the house across the street from his. Danny DeVito plays Buddy Hall. Once Buddy moved in his twin daughters looked up their new house on satellite Internet and they couldn’t see their house. Buddy then decided he wanted his house to be seen from space. He converted his house into a holiday spectacle. Everyone around town came to watch his house light up and see the visuals the light pattern made. Steve didn’t like Buddy because Mr. Christmas was his title and the light and music wouldn’t allow him to fall asleep. Steve’s journey to regain his title back and to make peace with his new neighbor is hilarious. Buddy was able to make his wish come true by making his house the brightest. This movie put me in the Christmas sprit and I hope it works with you to. To watch a trailer click here. Deck the Halls.

Monster-in-Law

The other day I was watching this movie with my family and all I remember is that I couldn’t stop laughing. I have seen this movie numerous times and it’s hilarious. Jennifer Lopez plays Charlie and she meets a very nice man named Kevin played by Michael Vartan. Kevin decided to bring Charlie to meet his mom but she was nervous. Charlie ended up being fine but out of no where Kevin proposes to Charlie in front of his controlling mother. Kevin’s mother is named Viola played by Jane Fonda and she con not imagine her son having another women in hi life except herself. She thinks that he just proposed cause she though that Charlie was pregnant.

The Wedding Planner

The Wedding Planner is kind of an old movie but never gets old. Jennifer Lopez plays Mary a wedding planner. Mary loves her job and she’s very successful at it. On the other hand, Mary has a very lonely life and has no desire to have a relationship with anyone. Until she was going out to do something for her job and Mary's shoe gets stuck in a hole in a middle of the street while a huge dumpster was going her way. A man named Eddie who is played by Matthew Mcconaughey comes and saves her from the dumpster. She ended up hurt so Eddie brought Mary to the children’s hospital where he works as a doctor. After Mary gets treated they both go watch a movie together that unfortunately ends early. The next day Mary is sure that Eddie is perfect until she has meet the new client's fiancé. She was starstrucked to see that Eddie was engaged. Mary doesn’t let Steve affect her. As the movie goes on there are a lot of awkward moments between Mary and Eddie and they’re extremely funny. This is a cute romantic comedy movie that I recommend. To see what decision Mary takes that effect her life you need to watch the movie and be surprised. To watch the Trailer click here.

Anger Management

Anger management stars Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson in a comedy about a man who has bad luck. Adam Sandler plays Dave who is going on a business trip and gets stuck with the worse person he could sit with. Dave wanted headphone and asked the flight hostess if she could get him a pair and she said she would but she was talking with someone else and never got to it. Dave kept on asking politely if he could have them but the flight hostess was yelling at him so he could calm down when he was fine. A Police officer on the plane wrote him up for being "violent" on a plane. Dave had to go to court and tell them that he didn’t do anything but the judge sent him to do classes of anger management classes. Dave goes to the class and sees that his teacher was the man who sat with him on the plane. My favorite part of the movie is this scene where Dave meets the other people who are in anger management program and why they were there, its hilarious. Everyone says he is so angry and they make everything a bigger deal than what it really is. He goes back to court and he is sentenced with intensive anger management program, which means his teacher lives with him for a month. The ending was very unexpected when I saw it. This movie is great when you need a good laugh. To watch the trailer click here. Anger Management

Eagle Eye

I have always wanted to watch this movie so over the break I was able to view it. Shia Labeouf is one of my favorite actors and he sure didn’t disappoint me during this movie. Shia Labeouf plays Jerry Shaw who just found out that his twin brother had pasted away. After arriving back home in New York he checks his bank account and was shocked that he had $750,000 in there. He leaves the bank with money and goes to his apartment and finds it filled with chemicals, weapons and bombs.

The mysterious lady on the phone started calling this woman named Rachel who threatened she will kill her son if she doesn’t listen to her. These two are one a long and difficult journey together. This movie will keep you wanting to know more. To find out who was making the calls and why I high suggest watching this movie. To watch the trailer click here. Eagle Eye

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.

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.

The Box

The movie The Box is my favorite suspense movie, it never gets boring or to a point that you have no desire to see it anymore. Cameron Diaz plays Norma and James Marsden plays Arthur. They are a young couple with a son, and Arthur is a NASA employee. One day Norma was at the house and there was a man named Arlington Steward (Frank Langella) who rung the doorbell. He had a box in his hands and made a deal with Norma. The deal was if you push the button you will receive 1 million dollars in cash. But someone you don’t know in the world will die. They needed the money and they didn’t know how the person would die. They decided to press the button and from there on secrets come out. This movie has a great plot but the acting could of been better. The only thing I don’t like is the ending but you can find out why once you watch it. If you’re interested in this suspenseful thriller you can watch a thriller here. The Box

The Back-up Plan

In the Back-up Plan, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has always wanted a family and for many years and she has been looking for the one. Zoe decided she’s been waiting to long so that’s where her back-up plan comes in play. She planed on having a baby by getting inseminated. On the day of her artificial insemination, Zoe meets Stan (Alex O'Loughlin). When she meet him she didn’t appear to be interested but she was. Stan ended up asking her out and it improved from there. Zoe didn’t think she would get pregnant after one time because some women need it 2-3 times. Just to make sure she took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. Zoe didn’t know how to tell Stan because she thinks he’s going to leave her. Zoe tells Stan at his farm and he was upset about the situation but stayed with her. Stan supported her threw everything and then they went to the doctors office. The doctor said she was going to have twins. Zoe thought if Stan leaves, he should go now but he wanted to be the father. After that they got into a fight and broke up cause of the word choice Stan used but Zoe grandmother made her realize she needs him so they get back together and deliver Zoe’s twins. Stan opened up his store of wine, bread, and cheese and asked Zoe to marry him. I really liked this movie, there are a lot of funny parts in it. My favorite part of the movie is the last scene, when Stan picks Zoe up and hugs her and she runs to the garbage to throw up cause she’s pregnant again.

The Karate Kid

Jaden Smith plays Dre Parker, he’s a boy that won’t give anything up. Dre and his mom moved from Detroit to China. Dre feels so lost and confused like he cant fit in. Having to go to a different school where you don’t know anyone can be hard at his age. Dre was teased and beaten by some of his school members but his apartment building handyman came to help him.

Dre asks Mr. Chan if he can help him learn how to defend himself and agreed to it. Dre went threw a lot of difficult times when training, and for the student and teacher trust one another. Mr. Chan wanted to teach Dre martial arts correctly. I really like this movie cause it has an inspiring motive.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is taken place in the land of Persia. If you like action movies than this is the one for you. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Dustin who is the main character. When he was born he was a normal child in the city but he didn’t have a family to care for him. He wasn’t born with royal blood, the king of Persia saw him and asked if he had a family. The king decided to bring Dustin in to the family. 15 tears later he was use to the royal life. Another town was making weapons planning on selling them. But nobody knew what it was or what this amazing weapon can do. Dustin found a dagger and found out if you press the top, the sand inside it makes you go back in time.  The sand inside it wasn’t regular sand, it was a certain one and very little that Princess Tamina had. He had the weapon that everyone wanted and fought over. Many people were fighting over this dagger to have power and use it for the wrong reasons. Everything that the prince and princess went threw is intense and you can’t look away. This is a really good addition for Disney to have.
