Movie Review: Argo

I still can't believe this is a true story.
WOW.

Rating: R
Time: 120 min
Stars: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston

A true story.
I already said it, I already saw it but it is still amazing.
Anyways this is Ben Afflecks third movie that he directed.
I didn't see The Town or Gone Baby Gone but I've heard that anyone who has actually seen these movies have loved them.
Everyone says Ben Affleck is a growing director and that he could be one of our best.
Anyways to that I would say he makes a good movie but is he better then Tim Burton or Christopher Nolan?
No.
Anyways that plot in this movie is that Iran took over a building blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and six people got out.
Their hiding out in the Canadian Ambassadors house and these Iranians are going door to door.
The CIA need them out but all their plans lead to someone being killed.
So Ben Affleck has the idea to make a fake movie who are scouting for a place to shoot.
He goes to Iran gets them and leaves with them, with them disguised as his film crew.
Hopefully.
And the biggest surprise about his movie is that it really happened!!!
Anyways let me talk about what went right in this movie.
This movie never gets boring.
Even though there might be some parts in this movie that might be boring in other movies well they're not.
This movie can make 8 people sitting in room entertaining.
If it's not intense there's a joke.
That's another two things in this movie.
This movie had some jokes in it!
When they're creating Argo in the movie with Ben Affleck, John Goodman and Alan Arkin those scenes are funny!
Some jokes mad me laugh out loud!
And also my other point in this movie is that this movie is really intense.
It can prove that a movie can be really nail-biting without any guns, killing or violence.
The acting in this movie was amazing!
It seemed like everyone was giving it their all!
Ben Affleck can have really 9.0bad acting experiences and really good ones.
Fortunately this one was good.
And Bryan Cranston.
He seemed realistic and he was entertaining to watch.
John Goodman in this movie, whenever he was on screen he made me feel good!
You always need a feel good character in a non-feel good movie.
And Alan Arkin, whenever this guy was on screen he made me crack up.
His character and personality in this movie was really good.
There probably couldn't be a better person to play his character then him.
And also this movie was really realistic.
In some movies based on a true story they make the characters cheesy and the premise cheesy.
This one sticks to the real really well.
And even though this movie is 2 hours and it seems like 2 hours it is so good that you don't want it to end!
Now the bad stuff.
This movie can get really complicated and confusing for a minute.
They use really long complicated words that some people may not know.
I mean you will know them but they also talk fast in this movie.
But after one minute you understand and you're back on track.
And also in this movie that language that they speak in Iran is really confusing.
It takes you off course and then it leaves you thinking for 5 minutes.
Sometimes in the movie you have to understand what's happening by the actions because there are no captions.
And while that is happening you seem to be focused on the words and it gets you all scrambled up.
But in overall this movie was really well done and exciting.
It's a movie you should see in theaters, and will definitely be worth the time and the cash.
Score=9.0

Movie Review: Taken 2

I didn't see the first but I saw the Family Guy version of it.
It was gooooood.

Rating: PG-13
Time: 91 min
Stars: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace

So I've been hearing that everyone in the entire universe hates this movie and so on.
They say that this movie loses all of the awesomeness of the first one.
Personally I've never seen the first one.
So I thought it was good even though it had it's flaws.
So the plot in this movie was that the families of the people whom which Liam Neeson killed in the first one want their revenge!
So instead of taking Maggie Grace and trying to sell her as a sex slave they take Liam Neeson and Famke Janssen just for the revenge.
So lets talk about what did work.
When the action finally starts the movie goes by so quickly that you didn't realize what hit you.
Then again they spent half of the movie with Liam Neeson and his family.
But the action is entertaining and you enjoy most of it.
This movie got me really sucked in and it made me enjoy.
I am a fan of Liam Neeson but in some movies he seems really relaxed and calm and like he's not giving it his all.
In this movie it didn't seem like he was trying but that's what I would feel because if I were him I would know that I've done this before and now I'm doing it again.
The music is good and it fits properly with the moment.
And there's this one part where Liam Neeson is with his daughter and he's telling her what to do and where to go.
And that whole huge scene was a really great interesting scene that had me enjoying the movie right from there.
But you know what about Famke?
So eventually he leaves Maggie and then it goes back to it's normal usual action movie self.
The end of the movie was funny, the actual last line was funny but it wasn't any better then most of the movies in the world.
Now lets talk about what didn't work.
The beginning half of this movie is all love and family and it just won't end.
When the action finally starts you feel like you just started a second movie.
Also in this movie is that there is a lot of shaky cam.
When the fights are going on you're like, did that guy just faint?
Did he die.
I think he died.
Moving on, also in this movie it seemed like Liam Neeson was god because there are some parts in this movie where it seems like he just put his and on your face and you just died.
Did he suck the life out of you?
I don't know, no one knows!
And the villains are kind of idiots.
You put the guy who slaughtered all your men in the first movie in a room by himself with 30 minutes to escape.
No one even has to see the movie to know the movie doesn't end there.
So I've heard that the first was so much better and some people are giving this a lower score because they're comparing it to the first, but I didn't see the first so I thought it was good.
So in all this movie has it's flaws but it's movie that people can actually enjoy!
I'd recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen the first but saw the family guy version.
Score=7.5

Movie Review: Frankenweenie

You can make a lot of jokes with a movie called Frankenweenie.

Rating: PG
Time: 87 min
Stars: Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short

No literally, I can think of about a dozen jokes for that name.
Even though Frankendog doesn't sound as good.
The plot in this movie is that this kids dog dies and he brings him back to life.
Now that I'm done with the plot stuff let me talk about what was the good stuff in the movie.
This movie is totally Tim Burton.
It has that part of the movie where you feel good and then it gets kind of spooky and in the end it turns out to be a great movie.
The characters are great in this movie and they're all unique.
The graphics in this movie are amazing and the plot itself is amazing!
The plot is so well done and so interesting.
And it's probably one of Burtons best plots.
And the movie flows by so well, it doesn't get to slow or to fast.
And that's probably all for the good stuff.
You know the reason I'm not listing the jokes are because they're not appropriate.
You know if the movie is called Frankenweenie than maybe the dog should be a wiener dog.
I can imagine what that would be like.
It would probably be a comedy.
And it would probably be PG-13 because what movie has a wiener dog and not a whole lot of jokes.
Anyways this was definitely the best Tim Burton film f the year at least.
This compared to Dark Shadows is AMAZING!
Now what I didn't seem to like in this movie.
Some of the characters in this movie seemed distracting to the whole premise of the movie.
They seemed like they had their own movie and that they were distracting me from the plot and main story of the movie.
Especially that little creepy kid.
He was so creepy and he was making me a little "Get off the screen you little tiny weird midget KID!"
And the asian kid was so annoying.
He kept on making me confused and a little angry.
Another thing I didn't like was the ending to this movie.
The ending seemed weak and that they ran out of ideas.
And I know Tim Burton can make a better ending to the movie but instead chose the kid friendly way.
But still the movie was good.
So that's my post!
I hoped you liked it but I still can't stop thinking of the name Frankenweenie.
Frankenweenie.
Heh!
Anyways I would recommend this movie to anyone who can stand a black and white spooky movie.
Even though ParaNorman was more spooky.
Score=7.5

P.S. I will start putting bigger poster pictures.

Movie Review: The Master

So this movie is about a whole bunch of crazy people.
I'm still waiting to figure out who the master is.

Rating: R
Time: 137 min
Stars: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman

Tom Cruise must have been so mad when he saw this movie!
But then again he could've been happy, it is about him right.
It's just besides Joaquin Phoenix it's all of his wives who keep on leaving.
But anyways lets get to the movie and stop the jokes about Tom Cruise.
This movie is full of psychos and I am surprised that it will be in the Oscars.
No one has said it yet but, come on!!!
Well at least we got Seth MacFarlane to make fun of it.
But anyways lets get to the movie!
The plot in this film is that Phoenix just got back from World War 2 and he's crazy.
But then he meets Hoffman and you know what they say, crazies got to stick with crazies!
So then they travel with each other and Amy Adams wants Phoenix out but Hoffman and him are friends so...
But if Amy Adams wanted to get rid of him then just drop him off in rehab, and while she's there she could also take a crack at it.
So anyways lets talk about the bad things in this movie.
Throughout the whole movie your'e watching these crazy people and you keep on whispering to your neighbor CRAZY!!!
You seem like you enjoy the movie a little less because of how crazy the people are in this movie.
There's one guy who's actually normal in the movie and well... Phoenix may also have violent issues.
I'm not saying you don't enjoy the movie I'm just saying this is negative 3 points because you don't seem to like anybody in the film.
Another thing that seemed negative to me was that the movie was really long.
If you were watching the movie where you could check how much longer and you could pause it, I guarantee more then 90% of people wouldn't be able to finish it.
And now the good stuff!
The setting and scenery in this movie are beautiful.
There nice to look at and it's great.
The camera footage in this movie is amazing.
I don't know what it's called but the way the camera shows the movie and the scenes is fantastic.
The script in this movie was solid.
Well at least for crazy people.
If I had read the script without seeing the movie then I probably would have said something I'm not allowed to say.
The editing in this movie was amazing!
They cut the scenes not to little and not to much right when they needed to.
The acting in this movie was great.
It seemed like everyone was giving it there all in the film and when you do that you usually end up getting a lot of good comments from movie critics.
And even though the movie was super long the make it flow so well that you realize the length but not all the time.
People if you want to see this movie see it in theaters instead of buying it on DVD.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who can sit through a long drama.
Score=7.0

My 200th Post

Hello ladies and gentleman.
This post tonight is a serious one no joke.
You want to know why?
Because it is my 200th post.
And I love to look back on what I've done over the years.
I remember my first post...

Welcome to X ZooMz!!!!!
This blog will have many videos on it!
Maybe.
So I hope you will like my posts!

For the next month after that all I did was post videos.
And then I stopped because I realized people actually read my blog!
So then I started doing normal blog posts about my days in my school (which I have now left.)

THE WAR MUST GO ON!!!

There were sometimes in between where the rough patches started.
Like when I didn't write a blog post for like a year!
And when I just got mad a removed my blog for 1 hour.
But none of you experienced that.

And then I started off all of my headings with
Hello all fans of this blog!

And then there was this month where I had only written one post,
The Amazing World of Gumball!
Now that post had gotten me my highest page-viewers in a month.
And that's when all these strangers started looking at my blog.
And that's when I knew I'M AWESOME!

But after that post some of the viewers weren't viewing that much even though I kept on writing.
But I didn't stop.
Then I started writing about movies and I kind of became obsessed sort of.
Then I reached my 200th post.
And here I am.
I've reached my 200th post and I'm hoping to reach my 300th.
So I promise I will try my best to reach that goal.
So for the people who have been following me fro this whole time thank you.
And the other people I don't really care about.
But anyways,

Welcome to X ZooMz...
