Ted 2 – movie review

This movie was hilarious throughout. The movie was very well written and starred some great actors, and multiple cameos. I believe this movie was perfect. I found it way better than the first movie, and was such a good plot line for the current politics and civil rights of our country.

The movie shows the story of how Ted becomes accepted in the country as a real person. Throughout the movie multiple things occur until finally the case is won and Ted is able to marry and adopt a child. I believe all the acting was very well done and the producing/directing was perfect too.

I believe everybody should watch this movie, and I feel like it is one of my fave sequels. I would recommend this movie to everyone and would rate it a 10 out of 10.

Jumbo Wild – documentary review

This movie was very interesting and informed a lot about both sides concerning creating winter sports resorts. The Jumbo Valley has been one of a debate and arguments concerning whether it should stay open and at one with nature, or a person of non-Canadian decent should come in and make real estate and a ski resort a reality. People throughout the region are fighting against multiple business men and women for trying to disturb the pristine nature.

This movie was very well written, produced, and directed. There was a good mix of interviews, footage, and information. I believe this movie was written very well, but could have lasted longer and could have possibly been researched more. I would rate this movie an 8 out of 10.

Sin City – Movie Review

I found this movie fun and eye catching from the start, however it was at times hard to follow. The movie had some actors, and the casting decisions were spot on. I really liked the comic book style black and white filming with the occasional color. The way this movie was directed and filmed was very successful.

The movie follows the story of crime, rivalry, and revenge throughout the same area with boroughs and cities. Each main character in the short stories contained in the movie had different stories to tell, with some connecting and others not connecting. It was really effective, but did make it confusing at times.

I think this movie was very unique, and this is why I would recommend it. I would rate this movie a 7 out of 10.

Get Hard – Movie Review

This movie was a not too bad comedy. The chemistry of the main two actors – Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart – worked very well. The movie was well written and directed for what it was. It was funny at times, however at other times I think it was trying to hard to be funny. I’m not really a huge fan of Will Ferrell, however I did like this movie and it did keep me interested.

The basis of the movie follows a guy who is sued for fraud and has 30 days until he is put in jail. Everything falls apart underneath him and he finds comfort and teaching in a car wash owner at his work. After trying to teach him how to survive in prison, they both discover Will Ferrell’s character has been set up by his boss.

Overall, this movie was fun for a while and was the usual comedy duo movie that you see so many of these days. It kept me from my boredom and kept me entertained. However, I would only recommend when you have the time. I would rate this movie a 6 out of 10.

Lucy – Movie Review

This movie was unbelievably effective, kept me on the edge of my seat, and even kind of funny. This movie was incredible. I really liked Scarlett Johannson in this movie, she really played the role very well and was a great casting decision. She was serious yet funny and made every scene believable. The action in this movie was none stop. The plot line and writing in this movie was amazing. I don’t think I can find many flaws in this movie.

This movie starts off with a woman delivering a package to an Asian gang. After she delivers it she finds herself drugged with the product inside of the package. Over the course of the next few days she finds herself being able to use more than the regular 10% of your brain humans can use. She keeps increasing in her abilities and percentage until the final scene, which was very epic.

This movie is worth  watching and I would highly recommend it to everyone. I would rate this movie a 10 out of 10.

Deadpool – Movie Review

It was a long time ago that I watched this movie, but decided to post a review. I saw this movie in the cinemas and I wasn’t disappointed. Ryan Reynolds was the perfect role for Deadpool, he played the adult, risky, and violent superhero very well. The storyline was kinda jumpy and a bit uneven. However, the acting was reasonably good, with Ryan Reynolds acting his heart out.

This movie used a hell of a lot of special effects which worked very well. The action scenes were very well done. The overall writing of the movie was pretty decent however it could have been a little more easier to follow.

However, the last scene of the movie was probably the most effective way to end a superhero movie, it made this movie even more worth the watch.

The overall role of Ryan Reynolds in this movie was one that no other actor could have achieved. His passion and determination to play the part was very evident. He basically is Deadpool. He can be seen in the movie turning into the comic book character. His role in this movie is what makes this movie so hilarious yet serious at the same time.

Overall, I would highly recommend this movie and would rate it an 8 out of 10.

 

Ant-Man – Movie Review

I was very surprised by this movie. I had  been looking forward to see this movie, even though I am not a superhero movie fan (Marvel and DC). The main reason I was looking forward to the movie was because Paul Rudd, one of my favourite actors plays the lead role, and I think he really works as Ant-Man, he was funny and played the role really well. The other reason I wanted to see this movie was because Ant-Man is a more modern comic and different than many other comics, so it really didn’t feel like the usual superhero movies.

Anyway back to the movie…This movie was very funny, had some great suspenseful parts in it, had some good acting and superb character development. I think the writing could have been a bit better, but it worked for the style of movie. I believe this has to be one of my favourite superhero movies ever now.

Just a quick synopsis, Paul Rudd’s character plays a thief who is chosen to become Ant-Man to infiltrate the company that is trying to cause great disaster to the world around us, the head of a company that is trying to replicate a secret formula made by the original head is trying to sell it off to the highest bidder, who will use it for evil. Overall, the good guys are trying to stop world destruction from occurring, like most superhero movies. However this one is different, and shows humor, passion, and ever-changing story-lines.

I would highly recommend this movie and would rate it a 9 out of 10. Any superhero fans or comedy action fans should check this movie out.

Doomsdays – movie review

This movie was hilarious and suspenseful from the start. The movie is decently acted, really well written, and decently directed. This movie really showed some out of the box writing and acting, and it really work to create a great piece of movie-making. I would not mind to see another movie from the same creators.

The concept for the movie is two adults who loot family off-season holiday homes for items and also shelter because of the future demise of peak oil and global warming as they put it. During their adventures many things occur including picking up a woman and a younger teenager to join them. Throughout this movie there are some pretty darkly humorous parts, and other times there are some very serious parts, and other times there are some greatly thoughtful and emotional parts.

I would highly recommend this movie for any comedy lovers. I would rate this movie an 8 out of 10.

The Last Flight of Petr Ginz – doc review

This documentary was very well filmed, directed, and produced. The way the film was edited was also good. I believe the use of interviews, animation, drawings, and narration really worked to give the movie a sense of worth and stability. I believe the concept of this movie was very well thought out and deeply analyzed. This movie showed a lot of research and dedication.

The story chronicles a young boy called Petr Ginz through his Holocaust experiences, through narration, his drawings, and his writings. With interviews from his sister and other people at the time of the movie. The ending is very well thought out and ties the rest of the movie in a planned out manner.

I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes historical documentaries. I would rate this movie a 9 out of 10.

The Plague Dogs – Movie Review

This movie written by the same author as Watership Down, and starring many of the same voice actors, was very well directed, drawn, and acted. Everything about this movie was very well done, including plot progression, character development, and artistic animation.

This animation starts in an animal research lab, somehow two dogs escape from the lab and after find a friend in a fox. They become wild animals and start killing livestock in the national park of the Lake District. Soon the nearby society decides to hunt  them down, after a failed attempt of a trained assassin. Soon an artillery with helicopters and troops are brought in to try and hunt them down. With a cunning plan the dogs get down to the beach, however the ending really is quite sad.

However, I highly recommend this movie for all ages. Just a fair warning cartoon animals may be harmed in this movie. I would rate this movie an 11 out of 10.
