The Help Review to Come Soon

 

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Only one word can describe this movie, Incredible!

I have never been a fan of the old school version of Planet of the Apes, I have only seen the version starring Mark Wahlberg and even this adaptation makes the Mark Wahlberg version look like a joke.

The first thing that this movie did right was not dress up humans as apes.

The filmmakers used CGI to create the apes and I must say they were amazing looking.

Caesar is the Lead Character/Ape, in fact Caesar is the star of the film not James Franco.  

 In the first part of the film we are introduced to how Caesar became so intelligent, we also see how Franco's character Will raised him from a baby chimp to a full grown ape. I admire the relationship that grows between Will and Caesar.

 In the time you get to know Caesar you end up caring for him and hope that he triumphs over the humans that want to harm him. But given the title we already know whats going to happen in the end. 

In the second part of the film we see how Caesar comes to the realization of what he truly is. When Caesar is taken away from Will he See's how his kind is really treated by all other humans, and in part in the movie Caesar gets a look on his face that gave me goosebumps because you know exactly what he is thinking of doing.

This may sound strange but I was rooting for the Apes the whole time, and in the last half hour of the movie it is nothing but an all out war between the Apes and the Human Race.

The Action Sequences are amazing, the acting incredible! I can't Imagine how much time it took to film this movie.

I hope there is a sequel in the works. Usually I am not such a huge fan of sequels, but in this case I would be greatly disappointed if there wasn't one.

Solid A

PG-13 for intense and frightening sequences of action and violence.

Running Time 1hr & 45mins

Cowboys and Aliens

I loved Cowboys and Aliens! This movie is what Summer Blockbusters are all about.

The thing I love most is the fact that this movie focuses on two things that make any movie awsome. Cowboys make for an awsome flick all by themselves but add some Aliens and you have one heck of a movie!

This movie was non stop action. Daniel Craig was awsome as outlaw Jake Lonegran. In my opinion he is what made the movie top notch.

But lets dont forget the Aliens which were super freaky. Director Jon Favreau got really creative with how well this movie came together. Of course the director of Iron Man would'nt leave us dissapointed.

I have not jumped in a movie theater in a long time and this movie had some moments that made me jumping.

Some people I have talked to think that this movie looks stupid and that the idea alone is stupid.

Lets be honest a movie especially an action movie isn't supposed to be realistic.

If you just go into this movie wanting to have some gun slinging fun, then your in for a treat.

Grade A

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of western and sci-fi action and violence, some partial nudity and a brief crude reference.

Running Time 2hrs & 2mins 

Crazy Stupid Love

Crazy Stupid Love is nothing but Crazy Stupid! I hated every minute of this movie, which makes me sad because I was looking forward to seeing it.

The trailers make this movie seem like it is going to be a fun chick flick, couldnt be more wrong.

This whole movie is nothing but a crude sex filled flick. 

THANKS AGAIN HOLLYWOOD FOR RUINING ANOTHER MOVIE!

 I dont really undterstand why hollywood producers/directors cant just take their heads out of their behinds for two seconds and realize that maybe just maybe there are other topics to involve in romantic comedies other than SEX!

And whats with the F word? Why in the heck does every movie have to include that in the dialouge?

There has to be something more intelligent to say other than that stupid word.

In this movie all it felt like to me was that everyone was trying to get laid.

There were non stop references to sexual intercourse, plus Child masterbation and Child pornography!

That is just wrong.

 It is hard for me to believe that Dan Fogelman the man who wrote many of Disney's films including Tangled was responsible for this crap. I sure hope that in the future he actually uses his brain when writting another movie.

There were many times in this movie when they could have made it cute but they didnt.

I felt absolutley no connection with any of the characters, and the plot itself was lacking greatly.

Usually in a film there is a point where you end up connecting with the material, not personaly but emotionally. I never once in this movie felt the urge to oooh or awwww.

I found myself in the middle of this movie thinking about other tasks that I had to do this week.

You know a movie absolutley blows when you start thinking about other things including work.

Plus the 13 year old son Robbie was so unbelivebly annoying!

And lets not forget the 17 year old babysitter who has this creepy obsession with Steve Carell's Character.

Bottom Line not even worth a trip to the red box.

Grade: F

Rated PG-13 For Coarse Humor, Sexual Content and Language

Running Time 1hr & 58Mins

The Finale, Worth The WAIT!!!!!

 

All I can say is WOW! I have grown up with Harry Potter and am sad to see the franchise come to an end. But I am glad to say that the Harry Potter Series went out with a bang!

If you have read the books, you know what is expected. If you haven't well then you should still see the movie anyways because this film is what summer blockbusters are made of.

The acting was top notch! Daniel Radcliff did a memorable job as Harry Potter, along with Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. They all did an amazing job at bringing the Characters to life in the films.

 I know for a fact they will have great film careers.

The Action Sequence's, Cinematography and Emotions in the Film were everything to be expected.

And I would like to add a Shout Out to Director David Yates who Directed the last Three Films. He really Brought the Books to Life.

Job Well Done!

Solid A

Rated PG-13 For Some Sequences of Intense Action Violence and Frightening Images

Running Time 2hrs & 10Mins

Rango

I was shocked at how great this movie was.I wasn't expecting much before I saw this movie because of all the negative reviews I had read from so many movie goers.

Forget the negative things you hear about this movie because RANGO is a great film!

The animation for this movie literally is a visual treat for the eyes. Its like nothing you've ever seen before. Its full of Humor and Adventure that will keep you entertained through the whole movie.

Director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) Takes us on an exciting journey through the eyes of an unlikely hero named Rango.

Rango is an ordinary chameleon who lives the same life day in and day out, until he is left on the side of the road in the middle of the Desert.

He then shortly stumbles upon the town of Dirt, a small town that is inhabited by some unlikely creatures who are not quick to welcome him into their small community.

But after telling some tall tales Rango becomes the towns Sheriff and starts out on a Journey he never imagined.

Don't want to give away the plot.

 The story is original, fun and takes us on a wild west journey that you will want to watch again and again.
