Step Up Revolution

My rating: 

Yesterday I saw the movie Step Up Revolution with my cousin. It is the fourth movie in the ”Step Up” movie series (the previous movies are Step Up, Step Up 2: The Streets, and Step Up 3D). We both really liked the movie. It is about a girl named Emily (played by Kathryn McCormick) who moves with her father (played by Peter Gallagher) to Miami, where she falls in love with a man named Sean (played by Ryan Guzman), the leader of a dancing crew called the MOB. The crew want to win a dancing contest, but when Emily’s father threatens to destroy the MOB, they decide to turn their performance art into protest art. I really liked the dancing in the movie and I think this is the best of all 4 Step Up movies. I would recommend this movie for kids my age or older and adults. Step Up Revolution will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D starting November 27 in the United States.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

My rating: 

Yesterday, I saw the movie Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it is really cool. It is the third and final installment to George Lucas’ ”Star Wars” prequel trilogy, in which the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christensen) becomes the chancellor of the republic’s new apprentice after Count Dooku(AKA Darth Tyranus) was killed by Anakin (the chancellor’s name is Chancellor Palpatine, who is really the evil Darth Sidious, and he is played by Ian McDiarmid) joins the Dark Side and becomes the evil Darth Vader, changing the fate of the galaxy forever. Natalie Portman plays Padme Amidala, the fomer Queen of Naboo, who is also Anakin’s secret wife, and she has recently become pregnant with twins, who she later names Luke and Leia. Also, Ewan McGregor plays Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Master who is Anakin’s former master. I also really like the action sequences of the movie and I would recommend this movie for everyone, including kids and adults. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is now on DVD and Blu-ray and it will be re-released in theaters in 3D in the United States starting October 11, 2013.

Beasts of the Southern Wild

My rating: ratings1

Today I saw the movie ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ with my grandmother. We both didn’t really like the movie, and we also thought that the end of the movie was really sad. It is about a fearless six-year-old girl named Hushpuppy who lives with her father, Wink, in a community called ”the Bathtub”. Wink is teaching her how to survive in the wild, preparing her for a time when he’s no longer there to protect her because he knew that he was very ill and dying. Soon, following a terrible storm, ”the Bathtub” is flooded, ice caps begin to melt, releasing ancient beasts, who begin to come to the Bathtub and Hushpuppy’s father’s illness deteriorates. With ”the Bathtub” being flooded, the beasts coming, and Wink’s health fading, Hushpuppy begins to search for her lost mother. I think Hushpuppy is a really fearless girl, not running away when the beasts come close to her, but instead tries to get into their souls. I also think that the people who lived in ”the Bathtub” were like animals or cave people in the sense that they lived a very primitive life, nourishing only on what they were able to hunt or fish. They were not touched by civilization and even tried to stay away and decline any kind of help (even medical assistance). Yet, they are very sensitive and extremely loyal and devoted to each other.

I recommend the movie for adults and teenagers, but definitely not for young children who might find the movie too scary and misunderstand the fine sensibilities and relationships between the protagonists.

Also, here is the trailer of Beasts of the Southern Wild.

Mrs. Doubtfire

My rating: 

Yesterday, I saw the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. I really enjoyed it and I thought it was funny. It is about a voice actor named Daniel Hillard (played by Robin Williams), who, after a divorce with a woman named Miranda (played by Sally Field), is told that he can only see his children once a week, and he thinks that it is not enough, so he dresses up as a woman named ”Mrs. Doubtfire” and becomes his children’s housekeeper, letting him see them more. I think this is one of Robin Williams’ best and funniest movies (another one of my favorite movies starring Robin Williams is Hook). I also liked Sally Field’s role as Daniel’s ex-wife, Miranda Hillard. The rest of the cast includes Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence, and Mara Wilson as Daniel and Miranda’s children and Pierce Brosnan as Stuart Dunmire, Miranda’s boyfriend after her divorce with Daniel. I think that the moral of the movie is that even if your parents don’t love each other, they’ll still always love you. I would reccomend this movie for the whole family.

Also, here is the trailer of Mrs. Doubtfire.

Men in Black 3

My rating: 

Yesterday, I saw the movie Men in Black 3. I really enjoyed the movie and thought it was really funny. I also really liked the action sequences of the movie. Barry Sonnenfeld directs the film, like he also directed the first 2 films in the ”Men in Black” trilogy. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return to portray the two MIB senior agents J and K. One day, an intergalactic criminal named Boris the Animal (played by Jemaine Clement) escapes from jail and wants to get revenge on K. K had shot of one of Boris’ arms and aressted him on July 16, 1969. In order to get revenge, Boris time-jumps back to July 16, 1969 and kills the 1969 version of K (played by Josh Brolin). J soon realizes that Boris had time-jumped to 1969 and killed the younger K, so he time-jumps to July 15, 1969 (a day before the modern-day Boris arrived and killed the younger K), where he meets the 29-year old K and together, they go on a mission to kill the younger Boris before the modern-day Boris arrives and kills the younger K. I also really liked Emma Thompson’s role as Agent O, the head of MIB in present day(Alice Eve plays the 1969 version of Agent O), and I also really liked Michael Stulbarg’s role as Griffin, an alien who moved to Earth after his own planet was destroyed. I would reccomend this movie for anyone who likes the ”Men in Black” trilogy or any other science fiction movies.

The Dark Knight Rises

My rating: ratings4

2 days ago, I saw the movie The Dark Knight Rises with my grandfather. The movie was really long, but I still really enjoyed it. It is the third and final movie of Cristopher Nolan’s ”Dark Knight” trilogy. The film takes place 8 years after the previous film in the series, The Dark Knight, and is the story of Bruce Wayne/Batman, who returns and unites with former jewel burglar Selina Kyle to defeat a terrorist leader named Bane,who wants to destroy Gotham City using a large nuclear bomb built by a Russian scientist named Dr. Leonid Pavel. I really liked the action sequences of the movie and I also liked the music of the film (the music of the film is by Hans Zimmer). The cast of the film includes Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce’s butler, Gary Oldman as Commissioner James Gordon, the Commisioner of the Gotham City Police Department, Tom Hardy as Bane, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a young police officer named John Blake, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, the President of Wayne Enterprises, and Alon Abutbul as Dr. Leonid Pavel. The action sequences in the film are simular to the action sequences in the movie Inception (another film directed by Christopher Nolan, and it stars Leonardo DiCaprio) and I would reccomend this movie for anyone who likes DC Comics movies. This movie will be on DVD and Blu-ray starting December 4, 2012.

Also, here is the trailer of The Dark Knight Rises.
