Jurassic World *****

I could not wait to see this movie I was so excited that they were making it. When I heard that Chris Pratt was playing in it I was so pumped I love him in Guardians of the Galaxy but, because of my claustrophobic eek there is a stranger using my arm rest thing I tend to wait a week or two after it comes out to see it. Unfortunately that means I have to avoid social media so I don't get told the ending. Lucky for me the only thing I saw accidentally was that some people didn't buy into the you can train a raptor which I could understand. So I finally got to go see it Father's Day and Oh My God it was so worth the wait. Here are some spoilers so if you haven't seen it STOP here. The dinosaurs were awesome the acting was great. I loved all the little touches that were put in for us movie nerds to feast our hearts on. Like them feeding Jaws to the big water dinosaur ( sorry I'm not even going to try and type all the proper names) if you want a PC article you came to the wrong place! I totally geeked out when they came upon all the old Jurassic park stuff. The fact that they had B.D Wong the original scientist really made me happy. They did right by this movie they didn't make it feel like a sequel it was its own movie it held its own . Let's not forget the epic ending with the fact that it was the original t-Rex from the first movie 😀😀😀. Now about the raptor training I totally feel it could happen they always say if you start early enough you can train anything and since they say in the movie he imprinted on them at birth I will totally believe it's possible. I also loved that they gave each raptor their own personality I could tell who was who in the movie which is so neat because when all the action is going on you knew what was happening and to who.i didn't expect it to end the way it did but all I can say is it's a pretty long movie but I wanted it to keep going I loved it and can't wait to see it again.

I want a movie series commitment!!!

Well I read a lot and love that the movie industry is bring some of my favorite book series to life but, I have one complaint if you are gonna make one movie I feel you must make a commitment to make all the rest even if it is a so called bomb at the box office. For example I just watched the immortal instrument and I have read the books and even though I thought that some of the casting was off I still enjoyed the movie now they are not going to make the rest because it only made 31 million state side... Well what I really blame is the PR department if they would have advertised it better maybe more people would have gone and seen it I didn't even see a trailer for it I actually saw it at Walmart on dvd and bought it because I didn't even know it was out. Now my favorite series is the vampire academy and I posted all the time they should make it into a movie series when they finally did I went to see it in the theater but who the freak did the casting did they even read the books.... I think If they didn't make it like a teen spoof on vampire high school and made it serious like the books are it would have done better but for those of us who seen it multiple times and it finally grew on us shouldn't suffer for the mistakes of the casting director because now I will never see the other 6 books made into movies 😭. So basically the reason for this blog today is just to say I need a commitment from the movie industry to make the whole series instead of leading me on to get hooked on something to never see the end. It's just not right...... Thanks for your time until next time 😀

Predestination ***

I don't even know where to start with this movie. It is based on time travel but the first hour is you listening to a story being told by a customer at a bar to the bar tender. Then it takes a weird turn and you say WTF no way. Then it ends and your left not really knowing how you feel about the movie. You don't hate it but you don't love it and your confused by what went on. So now I watched this movie about a week ago and it took me that long to process the movie actually I'm still processing it lol. It left me with a lot of question and my brother and I have debated the biology of it to see if it could even be possible. All in all I would have to say it's worth a watch once maybe even twice but I don't know if it's actually a good movie or if it just left me with questions I want answered. Maybe you should watch it and leave me your thoughts.

TMNT ***

Well of course I would have to go openning weekend to see this movie I grew up with the turtles. I have a soft spot for them. My kids watch the new turtles and love them but, yet for me I love the old ones and this is a daily agrgument at my house as to which are better lol. So we all went to the movies with great excitement with our favorite turtle mask on and all. Then the movie started and they talked for the first time and my balloon of excitement deflated...now let me explain I love the old turtles you could tell them apart by there voice because each voice sounded like there personality. If i were blind I couldn't tell Donatello from Michelangelo and Leonardo hardly spoke and Raphael didn't sound to tough to me and don't get me started on splinter who wasn't Japanese/Chinese. But my kids didn't even notice they were sucked into the movie and were enjoying every minute so I tried to let it go. Then the first fight scene happened....hello the foot are ninja fighters they don't use guns.....so here you have the ninja turtles fighting the foot using ninja weapons vs there guns....very disappointing. I do have to say the writting was good I was laughing and enjoying the banter between April and her camera man and April and the turtles but as I say the devils in the details and thoses details how ever small matter to me. The movie was over and we left the theather my kids screaming we need to buy this movie its the best movie ever and all I wanted to do is go home and watch my original teenage muntant ninja turtle movies.....

Maleficent ****

Maleficent is by far my favorite villain even when I was a little kid and when I heard they were making a movie about her I was beyond excited but, yet I was scared I was afraid they were going to ruin it. I was happy to see we were finally going to get her side of the story since they don't tell you much in either book or movie. But come to find out at the end of the movie....SPOILER ALERT..... It wasn't her side at all she wasn't the one telling the story. It was Aurora telling her what she observed and was told (because be honest she wasn't alive for the beginning and then was a baby so you know she had to have been told). Anyhow I have been distracted sorry where I was oh yes so I was a little disappointed that it wasn't being told by Maleficent. The story was interesting and I learned things about maleficent I didn't know which was awesome and the casting was great. Angelina Jolie was born to play her she was perfect. Elle Fanning was beautiful and exactly what I would have imagined Aurora to be. But the character that captivated me by surprise was her crow I loved how they transitions him into different things (human, wolf, dragon) and gave him such a great part I'm glad they included him. But that also leads me to the part I was disappointed in she didn't turn into the dragon...........yeah so that was a little disappointing and the way they did it wasn't bad it is just I was waiting for her to turn into a dragon. I loved the difference in the story because there is always two sides I would recommend it for you and your family my kids loved it.

Godzilla ****

Who doesn't love a monster movie and Godzilla is the crème de la crème. I was hoping we would do justice to this monster god because lets face it our track record for rebooting films is less then stellar. But I have to say it was entertaining and Godzilla looked great sounded great the action was great but sadly there wasn't much of the main man in the movie. It started off solid and I enjoyed the beginning but once it got to the 15 years later mark it felt like there was a lot of pointless scenes that didn't have much point to the main story. I feel that they could have eliminated these scenes and gave us more monster on monster action.  The fight scenes were awesome and got you pumped but they were maybe the last 25 minutes of the 2 hour movie. I can say that the first time you heard Godzilla roar it sent chills down your spine but it was over all too quick.  I feel that yes Godzilla was in the movie but it was more about the guy saying he has to get back to his family. But at every turn choosing to not get back to his family and putting himself were ever the monster was all in the name of duty. It was a bit annoying he kept telling his wife to wait for him but then he choose not to get there on time. I do love that they made Godzilla like a hero in this movie but I can tell you humans would not cheer if Godzilla got up and walked to the water after defeating the other monsters  we would try to kill it just saying. But over all it was a  good movie I just wish it was more monster less human.

American Hustle **

American Hustle how did this get nominated for all those awards it was the most boring movie I have seen in a long time. I think the best acting in that whole movie was Christian Bales comb over. Jennifer Lawrence was a hot mess I think she channeled her inner Kristen Stewart she was awkward at best. I usually love Jennifer Lawrence but I did not like her in this film. Bradley Cooper was an annoying cry baby who as an undercover cop I would have thought would be smarter. Amy Adams was a saving grace in this film she did well with what she had to work with. But by no means great. Jeremy Renner was just forgettable you don't really remember him once the film is over. The story telling just dragged on and on boring you to death. You figured it out in the first five minutes then had to sit through the next hour and forty five minutes of your life wishing it would just end already. I am in just awe at how this movie could win over some of the other movies nominated.  I would have much rather seen Lone Survivor in the nomination spot instead of this drivel. I will not throw any punches this was a piece of crap. DO NOT waste you time and life on this one. I think we should choose new judges for the academy and make the judging solely based on the quality of the film and acting rather then money or political views.
