Movie Review: Dallas Buyers Club

Matthew McConaughey is a drug dealer in this movie.
He deals drugs that are not approved but actually help people be cured of AIDS.
So he's the good type of drug dealer.
Interesting...

OH NO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!!
Once again to my readers, I'm sorry that I have not posted something in a really long time and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
I understand that I need to get on top of it, now more than ever.
The end of the year is coming and if I don't review all of the movies I've seen in time than my 2013 best and worst list can't and won't be complete.
But if it does ever come to that... I will just have to use the ones I have already reviewed and not the ones I haven't.
The worst part of that though is that it's Oscar Season.
I HAVE TO REVIEW MORE!!!
Anyway since I have way more to review, these reviews will be a little shorter.
So the plot in this movie is that Matthew McConaughey is diagnosed with AIDS.
The hospital gives him medicine but it doesn't help so he goes places around the world to get not approved, but better medication.
Eventually he decides he want's to help others and gain a little cash so he buys a lot and starts selling it to other people.
This is the true story of the Dallas Buyers Club.
 So what was good?
The acting was phenomenal!!
Matthew McConaughey performed so well!
It was probably one of the best performances I've seen in a while.
Also, Jared Leto was amazing!
His character was portrayed so well and his character was undeniably the best one in the whole movie.
Now I could say Jennifer Garner did great too, but then I'd just be lying.
Truthfully, Jennifer Garner had one good moment, nothing more.
Also the story was incredible and really interesting.
The way things played out was really cool and I liked how the director decided to show things these ways that were really interesting.
So what wasn't that good?
First off, as I said before, Jennifer Garner is never good in movies.
Her characters aren't good, the way she portrays them aren't good and her acting is just not good.
Whenever I see her on screen I just want shoot her in the head because she's that annoying.
Also the soundtrack for this film I thought was not that great.
The music wasn't always the best and the sounds were terrible which made it obvious to the viewer that they were not natural but edited in.
Also, the movie did get pretty slow at times.
This was the first time in a long time where I looked at my phone to see how much was longer.
The movie wasn't predictable and the ending was done well but the middle parts and the conversations were just not paced fast enough for me to get into the groove.
It got me here but lost me there, and it went on like that for a while.
So all in all the movie was pretty slow for a child but I'd recommend this for more artistic adults who have a little more patience than me.
Score=7.0

Kick Ass 2
This movie was funny and action filled!
Sure it's ridiculous but super entertaining.
The story is also very stupid but all equals up to a really fun time.
Score=7.5

Grown Ups 2
This movie has no plot and is incredibly stupid.
There are barely any chuckles and it's basically just a horrible movie.
Adam Sandler has just gotten terrible.
Why can't he just make movies like he used to like Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore.
Score=4.0

Movie Review: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

So I hated the first book.
I hated the first movie.
I might as of well think going into this movie that it would also suck.
So you know I did.
Turns out that it was...
READ MORE TO FIND OUT!!!

Rating: PG-13
Time: 146 min
Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson
Director: Francis Lawrence

So I did it again.
I haven't been posting in a really long time again.
I really do suck though.
Anyway since I have way too many movies to review, and I also promised to review movies that came out in July that I missed I will in each review, do 3.
Sure the second 2 at the end won't even really be reviews but just short opinions.
So the plot in this movie is that now ever since the 74th Hunger Games, people are starting to rebel against the capital.
So to get rid of their influence (Katniss Everdeen) the president makes a 75th special Hunger Games where 24 of the previous winners will once again try to kill each other.
So what was good?
First off this one was so much better than the first movie.
The acting was much better.
I actually felt like people were trying, probably because they finally realized that Twilight was not good so they stopped trying to be like it.
The new characters I thought were also much better.
They were so much more interesting and much better developed.
The plot was also much much better.
It actually had a purpose and much more meaning than the last one where it was just pointless killing of kids.
The special effects were amazing and added even more to the story.
The truth is that this movie was so cool!
It looked awesome and it made me feel awesome probably because it was a good movie.
Also there's a character in this movie named Finnick.
When I first met him I thought he would be a terrible character that would be annoying and ruin the movie.
He turned out to be my favorite character!
He had a great personality and even though I thought he would do this he didn't and that made me happy.
So what wasn't good.
First off I thought that some characters weren't used to their greatest extent.
Also sometimes it got way too over dramatic.
It felt fake to me and weak as well.
But other than that the movie was good.
So all in all definitely better than the first and actually a good movie in general.
Score=8.0

Blue Jasmine
The acting was amazing.
The story and growth of the character was great.
Even though I hated the previous Woody Allen movie I saw this movie made up for it.
The characters were great and very realistic and entertaining.
Score=8.0

The Heat
There was so much potential in this movie but it unfortunately fell flat.
It only supplied me with a couple of laughs.
The chemistry was good but the story not so much.
I really wished that it would've been better but it just wasn't.
Score=6.0

Movie Review: Ender's Game

I suck.
I have not reviewed in a very long time.
After this review, I have 10 maybe 11 more reviews to do.
I probably won't have the memory/time to do them all but I will try.
I suck.

Rating: PG-13
Time: 114 min
Director: Gavin Hood
Stars: Harrison Ford, Asa Butterfield

I suck.
I wasn't telling a lie up there.
I was telling the truth.
Anyway, if you're wondering what the other 10 movies are (not including this one), I will tell it to you now.

1. Blue Jasmine
2. Kick Ass 2
3. The Spectacular Now
4. The Family
5. Don Jon
6. Gravity
7. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
8. Captain Phillips
9. Bad Grandpa
10. Free Birds

Yeah, I know I suck.
But anyway, to get back on topic, I loved Ender's Game.
What I mean by that is the book.
During the summer I read the book and to me, I considered it one of the best books I have ever read ever.
I really wanted to see the movie, so during the trailers I wasn't sure if it was going to live up to my expectations.
If you want to find out if it did, read on.
I know everyone's complaining about the author and how's very against gays and that, I find that matter to have nothing to do with the movie.
Who cares really?
Anyway, since it's been such a long time since my last review, I might be a little more amateur. (AKA. Bad)
So enjoy this next review and I hope it fills that sad hole in your heart where old ones used to be.
So the plot is, is that Earth 50 years ago we went to war with aliens.
We want to finish off the aliens to secure the Earths safety forever and ever.
To do that we train kids to fight this war.
One of those kids is Ender.
That is the plot.
So what was good?
I'm a little rusty so let's see how this goes...
First off, I loved the book (as I mentioned before) and to me, this movie lived up to it.
The movie was well acted.
Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, Asa Butterfield and pretty much everyone else!
They all did amazing jobs and to me, they added to the experience and fun of the movie.
Also the special effects in this movie is great.
It looks so real and so realistic!
I saw Terminator the other day and compared, this movie was incredible!
Even if I didn't compare the two, the effects would still be incredible.
The story was much better than most action/sci-fi movies.
It had a lot more meaning and heart and wasn't just a stupid senseless one of the Hero vs Villain.
Also the ending of this movie was executed perfectly!
When I read the book, the ending was one of the parts I was most worried of how it would be done, and the movie did it so well!
I think that it may have even done it better than the book.
IT WAS SO COOL!
Anyway, what wasn't so, cool...
First off, I was disappointed by some parts of the movie.
The book was placed over many years and it had a lot of things going on.
It would be kind of hard to put it all into only 2 hours.
So of course they're going to make some scenes shorter, but one scene they made seem too short.
When Ender is in Battle School, it takes place for many years in the book.
Actually, the majority of the book is in that school.
So when the movie makes it 30 minutes long, and makes it seem like the whole process was done in a single day, that made me mad and disappointed.
If only movies could be as long as it needed to be.
But then again, no one would see a 10 hour movie.
So all in all, this movie lived up to the expectation of it's book and impressed me wildly.
Score=8.5

Movie Review: The World's End

To end the Cornetto trilogy we need to end with a BAM.
The Worlds End was a BAM.
But is wasn't necessarily that great of a BAM.
I'm so disappointed...

Rating: R
Time: 109 min
Director: Edgar Wright
Stars: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost

To get straight to the point, I love the Cornetto trilogy.
I have loved every single one of them.
So when hearing that this movie was going to come out I knew I needed this movie.
This was probably the movie I wanted to see most the whole entire year.
A little crazy right?
Well anyways I don't have much more to say here so I'll get straight to the review.
So the plot in the movie is that Simon Pegg gathers his friends from high school and they all go back to their hometown to conquer the golden mile that they could never complete years back.
But in the mix of it, the town seems different and basically there's robots and they have complete the golden mile without dying and stuff like that. 
So what was good in the movie?
First of all as I said before, I love this trilogy and I have loved every movie of theirs so this won't be any different.
Well getting back to the normal one of the things I liked was that the movie was highly entertaining.
The whole way through I was sucked in and I never got bored.
It's also really funny.
Well, only if you like that British type of humor.
And fortunately I do.
I thought that the jokes were unique and very new after seeing all those American comedies like We're the Millers and This is the End and also the other movies I rented on DVD that were in theaters years ago.
I thought that the characters were each very unique and special in their own way.
I thought they each played a different but grand role in the movie.
Also the acting was good.
It wasn't no Heath Ledger Joker but it was good for a movie that's obviously not trying to win any Oscar.
I thought that the plot was also very cool.
I like the idea of having these different pubs you need to go to as the main motivation for the characters and than all of this stuff happening in between.
And same with this movie that I liked with all movies are the shots that the movie takes.
The sound effects to those shots and the way it made me tingle in my seat was awesome.
They've done those shots in all of the three movies and I love them all.
Also at the end of the movie Simon Pegg has a very awesome monologue.
It was pretty much awesome.
So what wasn't so awesome though?
Well first of all I thought the ending of the movie was terrible.
Pretty much everything that happens after Simon Pegg's monologue was just terrible!
It's like they ran out of ideas and went with an ending that leaves a lot hanging and is just so STUPID!
I hated the ending with passion.
I also thought that this movie was nothing special.
I thought that it was going to have an awesome twist ending that relates to the other movies.
SPOILER ALERT!
It doesn't.
END.
I mean if I had just skip the movie entirely I wouldn't be missing out on much.
So to sum all of this up, the movie was a terrible ending to the Cornetto trilogy but a good movie in general.
And here is my order from worst to best of the Cornetto trilogy movies.
3. The World's End
2. Shaun of the Dead
1. Hot Fuzz
Not really a shocker right?
Score=6.5

Movie Review: Planes

FROM THE WORLD OF CARS COMES... PLANES!!!!!
Next thing you know a movie will come out that's called BOATS!
And than maybe after that, possibly another movie called TRAINS!
And all from the world of CARS!!

Rating: PG
Time: 91 min
Stars: Dane Cook, Stacy Keach
Director: Klay Hall

So when Cars came out I was much much younger.
Of course I went to see it and of course I loved it.
Than years later the sequel came out.
It was... TERRIBLE!
Yeah so when this movie came out I was not sure if it was worth my time.
But then I decided from the trailer that they were trying to go back to the original Cars type of movie so yeah, I was now really excited.
Unfortunately right when I got back the movie had just left the closest theater to my house.
I thought it was kind of a drag to go to a movie theater that was farther away and more expensive but eventually it happened.
But I will say I never planned it.
I asked my brother if he wanted to go to the movie theater to see a movie and it just happened that he wanted to see that one.
So it all worked out and we watched happily ever after.
So the plot in the movie is that planes have a race all around the world.
The main character is racing in it and it just happens that he's afraid of heights.
WOOP DI DOO!
And now we have our movie!
So what was good in this movie?
First of all the movie was really colorful.
All the colors were really powerful towards the screen.
Also the colors sucked me into the movie a little more.
And as I mentioned before the movie plot is that the planes have to race all around the world.
So the culture is also very cool.
I liked visiting all these places and paying attention to them.
All the cultures were different and it made the movie that much better.
The characters were also all very unique.
All of them had their own touch and style.
And even better they were all from different countries.
They all added to the movie a little more.
Even if they only had couple of lines.
All of these contributed to the movie being good but the thing that made this movie good was that it just made me feel good.
I don't think I have seen a movie that has truly made me feel good in a long time.
And this one did.
I went with my brother to see this movie and even though I'm having some problems with going back to school and that, this movie let me relax and just enjoy.
So what wasn't so great in this kids film.
First of all, the movie super predictable.
You know everything that's going to happen and you're always right!
It is also very cliche and maybe even cheesy.
The ending is one of those endings that happens in almost every children movie.
That's pretty much it but both of those things are pretty big factors of a movie.
So all in all, the movie is nothing new or special and I only recommend it to people if you are a kid or if you have a kid who really wants to see it.
Other than that, what's the point?
Score=6.5

Movie Review: Lee Daniels' The Butler

You know what I experienced from this movie.
Somebody else's perspective.
When I experienced Obama win the election in 2008 I was glad because he was the guy I wanted to win the whole time!
But seeing this movie, I realize, he was much more than the guy who I was glad won to many other people.
VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Rating: PG-13
Time: 132 min
Director: Lee Daniels
Stars: Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey

Personally now, I don't think anyone likes to serve people that are richer than you.
I don't even like two serve my brother.
So how can one man serve the whole White House with only a couple of other men and not just give up and basically say "I've had enough, I'm out"
Well first of all, this is a huge opportunity serving the White House.
You get to make friends with the presidents and they treat you well for a butler.
Second of all, they won't pay you much because back then African Americans didn't get payed that well, but at least they'll pay you more than most places. (I think.)
And third of all is because you get to listen into all their highly classified meetings.
And if they like you, they might ask you an opinion of what they're doing.
And if they like what you say then you might start something bigger than ever!!!
But probably not.
So the plot in the movie is that this man is a butler for the White House.
So it's pretty much about his life and how he was awesome.
So what was good in the movie?
The acting was phenomenal!
Everyone was amazing and really gave a great performance.
I felt like everyone was giving it their all.
To tell you the truth, so far this is probably the movie that would be nominated.
I don't know why it's showing in August because I believe that if this movie was showing in November/December it could actually get nominated.
But then again Beasts of the Southern Wild was nominated and that came out before The Butler.
Anyhow I also thought that the movie moved at a perfect pace not slowing down on anything or speeding up.
I also think that the movie wasn't boring at all.
It was a true story biography that wasn't boring.
But then again I can't tell you the last time I saw a boring terrible biography. (Jobs.)
The humor was great too.
I thought that they put just the right amount and didn't make the movie too serious or too silly.
It was the perfect combination for a movie like this.
Mostly serious but with a couple of chuckles in some places.
The story was also very fulfilling.
And the end of the movie I had about one last question.
But the question was simple and that was it.
I typed into Google and I got my answer.
So what wasn't so great in the film?
First of all I thought that some of the roles of the film sort of weird.
For example, I thought that the person who portrayed John F. Kennedy didn't seem like he was actually John F. Kennedy.
Also I thought the movie was sometimes confused with itself at moments.
It was a very long time to fit into 2 hours which made it seem a little weird and strange when big things happened.
It's like so much is happening in two hours that the movie doesn't really have time to relax and enjoy the moment it's in.
Right after one big thing happens, another big thing happens seconds after it.
It doesn't leave you time to think.
Anyhow other then that the movie was phenomenal and I really hope that it makes a nomination of some kind because it deserves it.
Score=8.0

Movie Review: Jobs

Apple is a great company.
They give us awesome utilities for our daily lives.
I am at the moment writing this post on an apple computer.
This shows that Steve Jobs is better than Bill Gates.
But know seeing this movie I do have to admit that Steve Jobs is not the man you want to work for.
Anger issues...

Rating: PG-13
Time: 128 min
Director: Joshua Michael Stern
Stars: Ashton Kutcher, Dermot Mulroney

Apple is one of the best companies in the world.
It invented the Mac which has helped many many people, one of those people is me.
Whenever I go on a trip I thank Apple because they keep me preoccupied with music from one of their iPods.
And they also supported me with laughter and fun with one of their million apps on their iPad.
What a great company Steve Jobs founded.
I really don't know what I would do without it.
But than again in the past people didn't even think that they would ever have needed computers.
Look at us now.
Maybe in the future robots will be invented and we will say we can't live without them.
Yet now, I'm perfectly fine without having robots.
Interesting, huh?
So anyhow the movie is based on the start of the life of Steve Jobs and his legendary company.
So what was good in the movie?
To tell you the truth, not much.
I liked the part in the garage but after that the movie dropped for me.
Some characters I thought were cool and could've even made the movie better if they were put into it more.
But that's pretty much just it.
Sad right?
So what wasn't good?
First of all, the acting in the movie was just mediocre.
It wasn't so amazing and personally I love Ashton Kutcher but I just don't think he was a good Steve Jobs.
Second of all, the movie was super long for itself.
It was a really long song and much of the movie I thought could've been excluded because it was boring or just didn't serve any importance.
Also the movie was so limited!
This movie was basically about the early point of Apple.
They didn't show the iPhone, they didn't show the iPod or the iPad.
They didn't even show Steve Jobs dying!
The moments they did show were sort of interesting but when the movie ended I wanted to know more about now and like what happens to the company after Steve Jobs died.
And most of the movie was pretty boring I would have to say.
It was based on the part that I didn't care about.
I pretty much wished that they would've focused more time on the present (now) or the past which was when they were in a garage.
I liked that moment in the movie.
The movie also didn't make me feel anything.
If I had to sum the whole thing up it would probably be that the movie was mostly boring with barely any enjoyable parts.
IT MADE ME WANT MORE!!
Score= 4.5
