Stunning Conclusion!

The Dark Knight Rises is the final chapter in Christopher Nolans Epic The Dark Knight Trilogy, and what a stunning and masterful conclusion it is!

The Dark Knight Trilogy is one of the Best Trilogy's out there period. We have seen many different installments about the caped crusader and his many battles with thugs from the under world, but I have to say It would be an insult to the world if anyone tried to attempt to make more Batman Films after the Masterpiece's that we have been given.

There is a quality to The Dark Knight films that you just don't get from any of the other Batman films.

In The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce Wayne is faced with a terror that is taking hold of all of Gotham City, and the one who wants nothing more than to see the City come crumbling down is none other than Bane.

After being accused for the death of Harvey Dent, Batman decides its time to say goodbye to the Caped Crusader. But Eight years later, when Bane brings terror down upon all of Gotham, it is left up to Bruce Wayne to resurrect the Dark Knight and save Gotham from a force more powerful than anyone could ever imagine.

I enjoyed every minuet of this movie. This movie is every Batman fans dream come true!

Tom Hardy plays the ever ruthless Bane, and he did an excellent job! He had me cringe the entire time. He brought to life a Villain that truly inspires fear.

Anne Hathaway delivered a great performance as well in her role of Selina Kyle aka Cat woman. 

Everything about this film was totally believable and a great way to end a Fantastic Trilogy!

Depressing People Like Us

What were they thinking? That is my question to the Director and Producers of this film.
In all honesty, this movie was very depressing. The only part of the movie I enjoyed was the very end, possibly because I knew it was over. No in all seriousness the end was heartwarming, unfortunately the almost two hours it took to get there was not.
Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks star in this movie about two siblings who have no idea they are related. Upon the death of their father Jerry, Chris Pines Character (that's what I'll have to call him because a day later I can't remember the sad sacks name in this movie) is given a shaving kit that is full of money, 150 thousand dollars to be exact, and he is supposed to deliver it to his sister Frankie (I at least remembered one of their names) who he has never met before.
So Chris Pine goes to give his sister the money, but he doesn't dare tell her that they are related upon meeting and why you ask? Well I assume it was so Hollywood could give us another boring movie that also has the ability to make you realize your own life isn't as depressing as the fake people in this movie is.
The hard thing for me and I think everyone else in the theater was the fact that we could have been satisfied with a movie that was feel good, but instead we are given drama sequence after drama sequence, and it gets old fast.
At one point in the movie I thought to myself, "why doesn't he just tell her they are related and get it over with!" Seriously, this movie just drug on and on, only to inevitably give us the ending we all know is coming. The Hugs and Kisses session as I like to refer to it.

Sad. This movie had potential, but instead just spun in the mud and got us nowhere.

A New Classic

Disney and Pixar have recently released their newest film Brave, and I will say this about the movie, It's a true crowd pleaser!

In the beggining of the film we are introduced to one of the first Princesses that comes from Pixar, Merida. Merida is the daughter of a King and has fought her Mother the Queen her whole life to be able to do things her own way, instead of having to act the way everyone else expects her to.

As Merida grow's in years, the time comes for her to be married, but not to just anyone,to a worthy suitor from one of the three kingdoms from distant lands. The three Kingdoms gather and in Merida's honor, a competition will be held for her to see which of the three young men will be worthy of her hand.

Seeing that her life is about to be changed in a way she dosent want it to, Merida run's off to find a way to change her fate, so that she can live her life the way she has always dreamed.

At this point in the review, I will not give anymore away, so that I don't spoil the main plot of the film. I will say this though, Brave is truly something that everyone who is a big fan of all things Disney and Pixar will enjoy. I really loved the Beautiful shots of Ireland, I think the animators did a fantastic job in portratying the vast landscapes.

I had read reviews about this film from other "Critics" and a few said that they felt that the movie started off strong, but then it turned into a kids movie. I'm Sorry, was this supposed to be something other than a kids movie I mean come on. It's like going to see Batman and then saying it "It started off good, but then it turned into an action movie". Thanks Genius.

Make sure to take the time to see this movie, you won't be dissapointed.

Mirror Mirror

This year we have been given two different versions of the Snow White legend. Mirror Mirror was released first, then Snow White and the Huntsman. I have seen both films and the two are very different from each other. Snow White and the Huntsman was a very dark retelling. However Mirror Mirror proves to be a lighter version, which will please both young and old.
Julia Roberts and Lily Collins take on the two leads in this fresh yet somewhat different take on how Snow Whites tale happened.
We are all used to Disney's original telling of the classic fairy tale, but in Mirror Mirror director Tarsem Singh adds a little twist to how the story really happened.
Mirror Mirror is told from the Evil Queens perspective. But we are more involved with how Snow White rises up and takes over the Kingdom that is rightfuly hers.
Upon finding out that the Kingdom is quickly becoming bankrupt, The Queen tries to find a Prince that is wealthy beyond means, so that she can marry him and save the Kingdom she reigns.
All the while Snow White has been locked up in the Palace, but on her 18th Birthday, she decides to find a way to get rid of the Evil Queen so that she can become the Queen that the village deserves.
Truth be told I did enjoy Mirror Mirror, I found it laging in some parts however the visionary direction and the costume design held my interest, not to mention there was plenty of Humor in this film.
Mirror Mirror reminded me alot of something that Disney would produce. Maybe it was Alan Menken's music score that gave this film the Classic disney vibe.
 All in all I did find myself liking this movie, even thought some parts were a bit cheesey but hey what movie isn't cheesey in it's own way.
