Men In Black Review


Men In Black



So Men In Black stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and is about a New York Police Officer who joins a secret organization called the Men In Black and this organization is responsible for keeping control of the extra terrestrial life that is on earth.




So lets get into the this review, I have to say that this movie is very good, the plot is intriguing and the movie is a fun time. Now the two lead Actors Smith and Jones are just fantastic in this role I really liked their chemistry I think they worked well together. Now this movie was made in 1997 and this movie did have some good special effects for that time, it did also win an Oscar for best makeup, which it deserved! Now I love a movie that just goes out to do what it sets out to do and this movie does that it wants to create an action science fiction that is just fun and it does that. This movie is also a comedy as well and I loved the comedic moments you will find yourself laughing at times in this movie, I felt that all the humor was perfect and so relatable and I loved it. I also really love the idea of this happening for real on earth, the idea that guys are trying to make sure aliens are kept under control, it just makes me want to try to pull off everyone face to see if its a mask of an Alien. I also love the villain in this movie he's somewhat weird, and creepy and he looks just creepy!

Now there are a few minor things that I have problems with, first off I feel like the movie is just to fast paced one minute something's happening the next we are on to the next thing. I felt that the movie just needed to slow down the movie is an hour and a half and I think it might have benefited from being just a little bit longer and slowing down a bit. Now I also thought the movie was just a little slow at the start up, it takes so much time to actually get into the main plot and it is just a little boring at first.

So all in all a fun movie that I would seriously suggest seeing!!! So as for my ratting I'm going to give this movie a 7/10.

So what did you think did you agree?

Not Another Teen Movie


Not Another Teen Movie





So Not Another Teen Movie is another one of those movies are doing something as simple as making fun of  movies, and I have to say I have a soft spot for these movies they are completely stupid and just should stop being made really but I do watch them anyway just because they are stupid I guess. So lets start with the positives of this movie there are some parts where I laughed,  the movie also has some cameos and I love looking for things I recognize from other movies. That's pretty much it for positives.






Lets face it these movies are dumb and if you hate them I can see why, these movies are not at all like the old movies making fun of movies... they are just dumb. The humor is just kind of stupid for the most part and your just going to want to poke your eyes out for the most part. There are some moments that I actually enjoyed the humor but very few parts. This movie also feels extremely long its only like an hour and a half but it feels like about six hours!!!! It just goes on and on and on. the acting is cheesy but I guess that is how they are supposed to be acting so really its not that bad. Just everything that could make a movie negative is in this movie. I have watched the other kinds of movies that are making fun of movies and there are certain things that are memorable like they have songs and lines from the movie that are just hilarious and you cant help but repeat. These movies are just those things that you have to watch. So this is going to be an extremely short review but I just don't know what else to say about this movie except for the fact that the movie sucks really they can be funny and you just can't help but watch it just because of how bad they are.


So as for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 2/10 because there are a couple of good laughs.


So what did you think? Let me know and thanks for reading!!!

Neighbors Review



Neighbors


So Neighbors stars Seth Rogen and Zac Efron and Rogen plays the father and husband who has to deal with the fraternity next door lead by Efron's character. Things get out of control though when the fraternity gets to rowdy and its war between frat and family man. Ok so my first thoughts is that this is just a fantastic comedy!! I absolutely loved this movie it was hilarious!!!

So lets get started with the negatives for this movie because there are so few of them. First I want to start with a negative that really probably shouldn't be called an official negative there are two actors in the movie who I just am not a fan of and those two are Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. I don't know what it is about these two but I think its just there voices they are just annoying and I don't always like them and they ruin the movie for me which really sucks. However in this movie they weren't overly annoying. Also Seth Rogen doesn't really act he is just his same usual self he plays the same guy and he never really changes but its not to the point where I'm annoyed with him.  Now to real negatives, I felt there was some shaky cam kind of it felt like the camera was being held on someone's shoulder and they just got so tired with holding it that they tried to adjust or maybe there were even parts where they were doing something funny and they were actually laughing and I don't it just didn't work for me. There is also one little thing that really is pretty minor there are some humor that is just not funny that was supposed to be funny but very few of those moments.

Now the rest positives and there are a lot. Now lets start with Efron! Holy crap did he do amazing in this movie. He started as a Disney star and I know no Disney star ever turns out but Efron just might be the one Disney star to be successful!. He did so well and I loved it so much. Now the humor in this movie was just hilarious, the movie was just so relatable we all know someone who we would just go to an all out war!!!  I think there was much laughter in the movie theater with everyone else and I just think that everyone can relate and everyone will love the humor in this movie.The chemistry between the cast is great and it really shows and it just seems like they had a great time filming this movie. Now the dialogue in this movie was fantastic as well it was just so real I felt like I was actually in the movie with them. I really feel that this could be the movie of the summer!!! I feel that pretty much all of the best comedies come out during the summer season and I think this might just be the summer movie. 22 Jump Street comes out soon but I still think that this one will be the one. Now there were actually a few messages in this movie that just gave the movie heart! They just put it in there and kind of hid it on you so they didn't just throw it in your face you kind of just realized as it went along and I really liked that. I also loved the direction of this movie and I really loved the ending of this movie as well I think it just wrapped everything up perfectly.

So all in all an amazing comedy that will be hard to beat as far as comedies go as for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 8/10!

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!!

The Amazing Spider-Man


The Amazing Spider-Man



So The Amazing Spider-Man is a reboot in 2012 for Spider-Man, and I have to say it was alright. Now I have already but up a review for the second in this rebooted series so has promised here is the first for this series. So I have to start with something that I forgot to add with the last review but it works with this movie as well and its the marketing for these movies. The trailers make it seem like the movie is going one way and then actually goes another way which just drives me nuts. Also for the new one the trailer and the rest of the marketing just give the movie away, there's just to much in there that I feel like I've already watched the movie before I actually have seen it. Another thing I have to say that is negative about the movie is the fact that its boring and in a couple of ways. First of all the origin story is the same as the last Spider-Man that we saw in the Rami Spider-Mans and it wasn't all that different so it did kind of get boring. If you don't know the origin story then you might it enjoy it more. Also another thing that makes it boring is just the fact that the movie takes forever to get to the good stuff like origin stories do I guess but it was kind of boring at times. Another negative to this movie is the fact that Peter gives his identity away to way to many people. He doesn't exactly do this on purpose but he just does give it away a lot! I also have a couple of things that just bother me about this Spider-Man. This Spider-Man first of all is super cocky and he is just TOO cocky, yes I want him to be cocky but not that cocky. Another thing that bothered me about this Spider-Man is the fact his suit is just weird, it like sparkles and I didn't like it. Dr. Connors in this movie doesn't have enough time in this movie either, they didn't use him as a villain or as lizard. This problem was also in the second movie as well. Another thing that the two movies share in common is the fact that the movies feel so choppy like they wanted to do all these things and then they tried to put it all in and then it just got so choppy.

Now to the positives, I like Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man he is just a great Spider-Man, he does a good job and I like his performance. I also love Emma Stone in this film she does great as Gwen. I also love the chemistry between all the actors is great. Now I also have to say I loved the relationship of this movie with Gwen and Peter unlike the second movie they give just the right amount of time to the relationship and I loved every second of it. Speaking of Gwen I loved how they decided to keep this movie closer to the comics, they have Gwen in there who was actually interested in Peter first. Also something I liked is that his webs are what he makes his webslingers which I do like and it is like in the comics. I also love that he looks like a high schooler where Toby just looked to old to be playing the age that he was playing. Now the action and the special effects are amazing in this movie for the most part they are done well.

So my final thoughts are that I thought this movie was going to suck but in the end, it was a decent movie and a good time, so as for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 6/10.

So thanks for reading and don't forget to tell me what you thought of this movie.

The Amazing Spider Man 2 Review


The Amazing Spider-Man 2


Well welcome back everybody today I review The Amazing Spider Man 2! So I realized that I haven't reviewed the first Amazing Spider-Man but I promise a review is on the way. So the first Amazing Spider-Man was a decent reboot, I didn't think it was as good as the MSpider-Man trilogy but a decent reboot. So this time around Peter is dealing with lots of villains including The Rhino, Electro, and The Goblin. Peter also struggles with his non Spider-Man life, finding out about his parents, Aunt May, and his on and off relationship with Gwen.


Ok so lets start with the positives in this movie. First of all the chemistry between the actors is just AMAZING. Peter and Gwen just are perfect and their chemistry is amazing! I think that is due in part to the fact that Garfield and Stone are dating in real life but its still shows well on the screen. Also the chemistry between Henry and Peter is also good, that is the little that we see of it. All the actors just did a phenomenal job in this movie, just perfect. I really think that Garfield owns the Spider-Man role and does just a great job with that. The effects in this movie are just OUTSTANDING! You see electro and you can like see through him and its just awesome! The  action and the effects were better than the first and it just really shows.

So now we get to the negatives and prepare there are a lot. Now lets start with the villains. I will admit I was worried about all these villains and I thought it would follow the path of Spider Man 3 and guess what it kind of did. All the actors did great in their roles well except for The Rhino who had this horrible Russian accent that I just could not understand! Rhino was also in the movie for maybe about 5 minutes and it was just a set up for The Sinister Six! So this character was just unneeded and annoying. We also have goblin and again a great actor and a great performance but from the time he put on the suit to the time that the big battle happened between him and Spider-Man it was like ten minutes that you see the goblin! It just all felt like a set up for The Sinister Six! Electro was the main villain and again he wasn't used much he's in two major fight scenes, one that was great in Times Square and the other that wasn't so great that lasted like 5 minutes before he was just taken out just like that. Also Electros character before he's Electro is just annoying and cheesy and stupid. The movie is also extremely choppy! The movie just felt like a bunch of scenes thrown together and it is just hard to watch at times. The movie wanted to be so many different things and had to many story lines it wanted to play in there was the whole Gwen Peter thing, there's college struggles, there's Aunt May, there's Henry, just all to much for this movie. This movie also was supposed to be a superhero movie but I felt that they made it more into a romance! The movie is almost two and a half hours long and I felt half of it went to Peter and Gwen's on and off relationship! Now these scenes were probably the best in the movie to be honest but I want to see a superhero movie not a chick flick! Now this is something that I never talk about but I have to talk about it here... the score in the movie is just AWFUL! They put in songs that sound like a character is like talking in his head or taking out loud but they aren't its the background music and its just weird and wrong! There are parts that do it well and its sad to say that Hans Zimmer did this score!

So all in all the movie is fun but still not a great movie! As for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 5/10.

My order of favorite Spider-Man movies

1) Spider-Man 2
2) Spider-Man
3) The Amazing Spider-Man
4) The Amazing Spider-Man 2
5) Spider Man 3

The Fighter Review




The Fighter


The Fighter stars Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. So The Fighter is the true story of a boxer who is  trained and supported by his family, his family consists of a brother who is a drug and alcohol addict, a mother who is hard to explain but she does like to party and kind of ignores the stuff she doesn't want to see, and he's sisters who say what they want when they want. After his brother is put in jail Mickey has to decide weather or not to stick with his family or move on. So I have to say that I absolutely love this movie! The story is just amazing and everything is just done so well. First lets start with the acting, everyone does an amazing job in this movie, everyone gives Oscar worthy performances in my opinion. Wahlberg gives one of the best performances of his career, Bale actually won the Oscar for best supporting actor and holy cow did he deserve it. Bale out acted everyone in this movie, he just did such an amazing job! At the end of the movie there is a clip with the real brothers and other than the fact that they look different Bale WAS that character he did just such an amazing job. Melissa Leo also won a Oscar for Actress in a supporting Role and she definetly deserved that as well, she did just amazing in this role. Amy Adams was also in this movie and she just did an amazing job in this role, she also got nominated for the Oscar for best supporting actress, I do think Meslissa gave a slighter better performance but  Amy did do such an amazing job. This movie was also nominated for other Oscars including best picture, best director, and best original screenplay. Now this movie lost the Oscars for these from The Kings Speech. Now personally I didn't really like The Kings Speech, in fact I don't even think I ever finished it so I think that The Fighter should have won all of those Oscars. The movie is just a spectacular story and was done so well and I just felt that The Kings Speech was just boring and slow. Now the movie is a drama but there was some humor in there and that's mostly thanks to the sisters who say what they want when they want and its a great break from the drama because the drama can get heavy in this movie. I was personally engaged in this movie, I'm not a fan of boxing but still loved this movie, and I really didn't feel that the movie was about boxing really it was more about the journey of a man who had to decide to do what was best for him and not just do what is family wanted. I really couldn't think of any negatives for this film really the only thing that I can think of is some of the boxing in the movie seemed just a little to much like they were acted out, and I know they were but I still felt that they could have been done a little better.

So a great film, I must see in my opinion and as for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 9/10.

While You Were Sleeping Review




While You Were Sleeping


So While You Were Sleeping stars Sandra Bullock and is about a woman who saves a mans life but the man falls into a coma and while visiting him in the hospital the mans family shows up and she pretends that she is engaged to the man and fools everyone but the mans brother.


So this movie was actually very interesting. Sandra does a fantastic job as the main character, her acting is just suburb. Now this movie is a romance/drama/comedy and I loved every genre of the movie and how they put it all together. The chemistry between all the characters is great, I loved every single member of this family that is in the movie and I loved the love interests in this movie I really believed in these two characters love for each other. This movie was a comedy and I loved how they incorporated all the comedy into the movie it was just great. I loved the story of this film just the sound of it makes me laugh. I also loved the family in this film they are just wonderful and the way they accept Sandra's character and make her part of the family just makes the movie so nice and just makes you feel so good, such a feel  good movie.  This movie was just really charming would be the word that comes to my mind when I think of it.

Now I have to say that this movie was a little predictable but not so bad that I didn't enjoy this movie I enjoyed this movie quite a bit, but it was slightly predictable. You know I think that this is the only flaw to this movie I really did just enjoy this movie. I've looked at other peoples reviews and it doesn't seem like anyone really hated this movie.


So a great movie to watch with that special someone, I absolutely loved it and as for a ratting I'm going to give this film a 8/10

Spanglish Review




Spanglish







So Spanglish is a drama/romance about a Mexican woman who decides to give her daughter a better life by bringing her to America where she finds a family to work for. The family consists of a famous chief, the chiefs wife who is insecure, and a young daughter. Eventually the chief falls for the Maid and things get out of hand.










So lets start with the positives of this movie. First off the acting in this movie is great, for those who say that Adam Sandler cant act well they are wrong he does just phenomical in this moive. I also liked the idea of this love story developing with a famous chief and a maid. Its something different and I enjoyed that part of it. Now the movie has some humor and some of it was decent humor that made the movie enjoybale. Now I liked how realistic this movie was the characters felt very real and the situations felt very real as well. I also have to say a lot of the dialogue in the movie felt so real and it was very engaging at times.









Now for the negatives of this movie. The movie feels very slow and boring at times. There were quite a few times where to I just wanted the movie speed up and just get done already. I also felt that the movie had a little to much drama, I realize the movie is a drama but I just felt like the movie had to many of these little plot points with more drama and it just got annoying. I also think there was some humor that did feel forced and the movie was trying to stop being the drama that it was and be a comedy more instead. Also the mother played by Tea Leoni is just so evil that you absolutely hate her to the point where you just cant watch the movie, she's supposed to be evil but it just goes to far.


So all in all this movie is all right, a lot of other people like this movie but for me it was just not that great it was just all to much for me. So as for a ratting I give Spanglish a 5/10.




So what did you think? Did you agree? Thanks for reading and let me know!!

Jackass the movie review


Jackass the movie


Well hello everybody and welcome back today we review Jackass the movie. Now Jackass was first a show I believe and if you haven't seen the show or the movies this is the basic plot of these things, there's a bunch of guys who do stupid stuff to try to get some laughs out of you. This is all real things all things that real guys actually do. That's about it, so this should be a short review seeing as far as movie ratings so there's not much to talk about. Okay so my first thoughts on this movie is that its not for everyone. These guys do some pretty messed up stuff that you just wonder how anyone ever thought about doing these things. This movie is funny at times yes, I think its also very gross at times that you need to turn away from the screen at times and if you can't handle gross things then you probably shouldn't watch. This movie is hard to review seeing as there isn't any acting involved really, there really isn't a story its just a bunch of stupid pranks and stunts that these people are hoping will make you laugh. I have to say that some of these stunts get to the point where they are so stupid and just so dumb that I do lose respect for the people and the film though. It just gets kind of pathetic and just stupid and that takes me out of the film a little bit. I've looked at other reviews of this movie and I noticed that people either like it or they hate it and I can see why its just not for everyone there's a lot of gross stuff and I feel like you need to be a little immature to like this kind of film. I'm sort of in the middle with the film but I lean more towards the negative side I just see what these guys are doing and a lot of them are just plain stupid and I just lose respect for these people its just too stupid what they are doing and it just disgusts you that you really can't even watch.

So a shorter review I know but there really isn't much to talk about. As for a ratting I'm going to give this movie a 4/10.

So what did you think? Do you agree? Let me know and thanks for reading!!

How I Met Your Mother Series Finale Spoilers Review


How I Met Your Mother Series Finale spoilers




Well hello everybody I hope all is well. So today we talk about the series finale of what USED to be one of my favorite shows. Now before we get to the finale lets talk about the final season as a whole. Now here is your warning there is going to be SPOILERS in this review let me say that again huge heavy SPOILERS!!!! So if you do not want anything to be spoiled leave this review until you watch the show first. Now the eighth season ended with everyone leaving to get to Robin and Barney's weeding. We knew that Lily and Marshall were planning on leaving for Italy, but Marshall also found out he was going to become a judge and they might not go. We know that Ted is planning on leaving for Chicago, and we also know that Barney and Robin are excited for their weeding. Now I have to say that watching the eighth season and knowing that they were planning to do the entire last season into three days did worry me a little bit, and I think after watching the final season I was right to be worried. The season was just choppy and just to many things happened in the course of a days time. Even Ted said in one of the final episodes that its just unbelievable how many things have happened in one day. I also felt that there were to many fluff episodes that just did nothing, they made us laugh a little bit but when it comes to the last season there is just no reason to have those fluff episodes if your going to have them have them in other season in my opinion. The episodes just did nothing to move the plot forward and they could have replaced that episode with something more important. So I guess that's my thoughts on the last season to many fluff episodes and just to many things happening, now lets talk about the final episode shall we?


So lets talk about some good things now before we get on with the bad because there are a lot of them. First off this episode got off to a FANTASTIC start. I loved how we saw Ted see the mother I loved the whole Barney going Ted...Ted...Ted it was just hilarious. I also loved the goodbyes that we got from the characters when they were saying goodbye to Ted. Robin and Ted's major thing was perfect, The high five between Ted and Barney was hilarious and just like them, Marshalls goodbye was great and I even loved the E.T goodbye with Lilly it was all just hilarious and sweet. I also have to talk about the whole saying goodbye to the apartment thing, I'm glad they had a goodbye to the apartment. There had been episodes in the past where we thought we would be saying goodbye to the apartment and we knew the time would eventually come that we would say goodbye to it and I loved the fact that they had a party to celebrate the apartment and all the wonderful memories we've had in it. I also though Lilly and Marshall had a great reason for leaving the apartment. Now something that I didn't like about the eighth season is the fact that Marshall and Lilly were leaving for Italy. I wanted Marshall to become a judge it just suited him in my opinion and he would be a great judge, so I was quite happy to find out that he did eventually become a judge and also a senator as well. I feel that Marshall out of all the characters on How I Met Your Mother was the most purest and the best person, Marshall is someone we should all try to be, so I just really felt he deserved to have what he wanted. Now the acting in this last episode was just phenomenal!!  I was just floored by Neil Patrick's Harris scene where he first held his child it was just perfect and just a beautiful scene. I also loved how they had a few of those references to other seasons like the "caca mouse" it just gave me a great memory from previous episodes that I really loved and enjoyed. One final thing  I have to say about the final episode that I liked is the mother, she was just perfect for Ted and just fit into the group nicely. I loved the met it was just so cute and it was just the perfect way for them to met. I loved the name Traci and I loved that she had the same initials. The two of them had just fantastic chemistry and she was just a fantastic character.  Not going to lie I fell in love with her she was just so sweet and so funny and I just loved her.


Now lets get into the bad and I have to warn you there are a lot of them. First of all this show was a sitcom right? Except for the first ten minutes or so the entire episode was depressing!! It was more of a soap opera than a sitcom, I felt emotionally drained after watching the episode and just wanted a hug it was just so depressing. Now lets talk about what made the episode so depressing, first we start out with Barney and Robin getting divorced. I just don't understand how they could have done this the entire last season focused around their weeding and how much they were in love and then they just quit because of some traveling?  I just didn't like that how can they give up over something so little. Something else that was just super depressing was the fact that they stopped being friends, they claimed to still be friends but they weren't, part of the reason why I loved the show and the characters was the fact that even after everything that these guys have been through their friendship still lasted. I loved the idea that these guys would just always be friends and would always be together. I don't have a lot of friends and I don't trust people and that's why I loved the characters they were a little bit of hope for me that I could find friends and have the same close and amazing friends forever. I also thought that I heard the future Ted saying that every year they go to see Robots Vs Wrestlers and every year they get together for holidays and in the episode Robin wasn't at Robots Vs Wrestlers so what happened to that?  I've lost hope now after seeing this, this makes me want to never ever make friends again! Now the final super depressing part was the mother thing. How the heck can you make us fall in love with a character and have us wanting to met her for eight years and then just kill her off? I just don't get why they thought that would be a satisfying ending? Also another thing to go along with that, what happened? Did she have cancer? We know she was sick but what actually happened? It just felt insulting to the character. I was sad because I loved her but should I have felt even more sad? Was it a painful death was it quick was it slow? It was just stupid!!! I also didn't like the fact that they didn't get married right away, I just felt like that it wasn't something Ted would do and it just didn't fit the characters. Also I didn't like that Ted was still in love with Robin the whole time, to me it was even more of an insult to the character I felt like Traci was kind of like a prostitute she was being used! Ted used her for kids and let me grow up a bit with her until the kids were at an old enough age that Robin wouldn't mind them and then Ted went to Robin. It was just stupid and pathetic in my opinion. Now also like the rest of the season this episode went back and forth and just to much happened and it just got annoying and dumb. I also have to say that the whole Robin falling for Ted thing it just didn't make sense to me. Robin has admitted many times that she didn't want Ted and I just feel like that she just fell for him a little to easily and it just didn't work for me. Now lets talk about Barney because he was a key player in this last episode, now he is my favorite character but I hated him in this episode. The last few seasons were spent showing how he has changed and stuff and then all of a sudden he was just unchanged. What? This was just confusing to me! It also ruined the last few seasons to me because they really were pointless!! Barney not changing just doesn't work and it was dumb and lame. He also pretty much changed to his old self after having this baby. Now don't get me wrong I loved that scene, such an emotional and well acted scene but what the heck a child just changes Barney all of a sudden?  What? Also with that who was the mother of that child? How come we never met her? It also sounded like he was taking care of the baby more than the mother was? Did he marry her? Did he just decide to raise the child? There were just to many unanswered questions and it was just stupid!! Now the final thing I want to talk about is the final speech from Ted and the kids, first of all  I hated the kids speech!!! It just seemed stupid and unnatural and also with the final words from Ted where the heck is Bob Saget? We are just going to hear his voice for nine seasons and then all of a sudden he sounds like young Ted? What? It was just so stupid and just didn't match up with the rest of the show. 

So all in all this was just a HUGE disappointment!! The show has been ruined for me!!I've tried watching it again and I just can't the show had a terrible ending and the show is just ruined!!!

So the ratting yeah there were good things I liked but the ending just gets a 0/10. The good didn't take over the bad.

So what did you think? Let me know and thanks for reading!!

How I Met Your Mother Review


How I Met Your Mother Review

So today I'm going to review How I Met Your Mother, the show just wrapped up not to long ago and now its time to review it. So this show is great I absolutely love this show but like every other show it  just doesn't have a satisfying ending season. In fact I want to say that you don't want to watch the last season of this show. But lets talk about this show as a whole.

So lets talk about the characters to start with. You will love these characters!!! They are just the best characters ever!! There are experiences and times where you see yourself as each and every character in this show. These characters are just funny and so relatable you will just love these characters. The actors who play the character just play their characters so well. I loved them sooo much. I feel like the characters are really what draw you in. Now lets talk about the story, the show is about a man telling his kids the story about how he met their mother, the story is just intriguing you are the entire time you are wanting to know how he met the mother and how everything is relevant. I just love the adventures they have and everything they do. Lets also talk about the phrases and quotes and dialogue in this show. You will find yourself repeating so many lines from the show. I just loved it so much and I'm still saying it even though the show is ruined for me. 

Now we need to talk about why this show is just ruined for me and thats the final season!!! Now I'm not going to spoil anything I will put up a review eventually with spoilers of the last season up here soon. Now the last season takes place in a weekends time and we know it will eventually lead up to the main character meeting the mother. Now we really didn't get to much about the mother up until season eight where the end of the season ended with us seeing the mother for the first time and I was hoping to get to get more of how we met the mother. I was just disappointed in that fact. Also they put to much into one season and it was just not believable how much happened. There was also a lot of throw away episodes and what I mean by that is that there were a lot of episodes that didn't further the plot at all and I don't mind those usually but in the last season with the stakes this high and stuff it was just stupid!! So i didn't like that either. This last season was also a terrible ending to the show it just threw everything away for an easy ending in my opinion that was supposed to be a surprise kind of but it was just horrible.

So as for ratting I'm going to have to rate the show before the last season and that ratting would be a 10/10. Now if we add on that last season I would have to say a 5/10! The show had a terrible ending  and it just felt like there were a lot of things that were just spoiled and ruined because of the endingof the   show. 

So what did you think? Did you agree?

Captain America The Winter Soldier Review



Captain America The Winter Soldier

Hello everyone and welcome back to the This and That blog I've sorry I've been gone for so long I've had some computer issues and I'm happy to say that this has been fixed and now i will be back. To start out this comeback i decided to review the new marvel film Captain America The Winter Soldier. So this movie picks up where The Avengers ended for Captain America and now we see that Steve Rogers AKA Captain America is working for S.H.E.I.l.D and hes struggling with living in the modern world and this time he has to deal with The Winter Soldier. So let me start out by saying that i really didn't like the first Captain America but this one i LOVED!!! This movie is probably my favorite stand alone Marvel film its between this one and Iron Man. 

So lets start with the positives of this film. The story is just great! I loved how they handled the events after The Avengers and the first Captain America film they did just a fantastic job. I also have to say that the action in this movie was just amazing! I thought Cap was kind of a loser before but this movie and all the action and special effects were just so awesome that i just think he is now a badass! There are a few new characters in this movie,  Anthony Mackie plays The Falcon and he is just a badass, Sebastian Stan plays The Winter Soldier and hes just an awesome villain. The acting in this movie is just awesome all around the returning cast is awesome Chris Evans is just a great Captain America, Scarlett Johansson is a great Black Widow and shes  hot!!!! Samuel L Jackson is just an extreme bad ass!!!! This  movie is about two and a half hours and I didn't feel at all like that long of a film it went super fast! 

So a couple things that did bother me the first thing is this one scene that was just out of place and awkward to me it just seemed out of place and i just didn't like it one bit. Another thing that bothered me that isn't really a big deal is the fact that The movie is called The Winter Soldier and i feel that he wasn't in it very much and i just felt that the movie should have been called something else i just didn't feel that they needed to put so much attention to that. The last thing that bugged me so something that bugged me in the rest of the Phase 2 movies its the fact that we don't get a reason for why others cant come and help out we get references about the characters but we don't get a reason why. I hate that we can get some stupid reference but we cant get a line about where they are at. 

So i have decided to change some things about my blog the first thing is I'm not going to have a portion where i talk about what others think. If we want that back we will put it back but unless someone tells me to change it its going to stay. I also feel like i want to talk about movies more its what i want to do with my life and its what i want to talk about if there are events in the world i will talk about it but other wise we will stick with movies. But anyway as for a ratting of Captain America  The Winter Soldier I'm going to give it a 8/10

So what did you think? Did you agree?

RoboCop Review



Robocop

So Robocop is about a cop who has an accident and in order for his life to be saved he's put into a robotic suit and he becomes Robocop. So my first thoughts for this movie is it is a great time, is it a Oscar winner heck no, but this movie is still pretty good. So let's start with the acting, the acting in this movie is pretty good, there are some roles that are acted better than others for example we have Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson. The movie isn't as good as the original but it was still a decent movie. The old one Robocop felt like it was mostly a robot and in this one they made him more human and I really liked that. The old movie was also more of a gory action movie while this one is PG13 and it's more about the character and also a little but of a political movie. The movie went through the conflict of should we have robots for cops so in that sense I Liked that as well. The special effects in this movie were also good there are times where you can tell that's it a green screen or anything like that but it's decent enough. There's something that just brought down the points for me a little but and it's this, they decide to go one way for the movie and then just drop that and forget if ever happened and do something else. So I guess it just felt like parts of this movie were just kind of unnecessary I guess. I think part of the reason this is may be due to the two great actors Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton I think maybe they put them in for that reason I guess. The other thing that I have to say for a negative is the fact that I felt that the movie had times where it was slow and it dragged on at times.

So what are the people saying? Now there are people who just don't like this one because they liked the original and I think the original is better but I think that this is a decent remake. There are also people, saying that the movie is slow and boring and I agree there are parts that are slow but I don't think it was that bad. There are also people who hate that there is such a big political message in this movie, and I didn't mind the message I like when I leave a movie I have something to think about. So I didn't mind but I can see why people wouldn't like that . Other than that there isn't really any bad things about its think most are in agreement that it's a fun time.

So as for a ratting I'm going to give Robocop a 6/10


So uh at did I you think? Did you agree?

Should the Super Bowl Halftime Show be Banned



Should the Super Bowl Halftime Show be Banned?


So todays topic for Whatever Wednesday is should the Super Bowl Halftime Show be banned because of some inappropriate things that have happened in the past at the Halftime Show. Most known is the halftime show when Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake performed and Janet's breast was reveled. Now there has also been some controversy in  the past years, like last year when Beyoncé performed there was some complaint about her outfit being to reveling. There was talk that the whole thing should just be banned period and I have to say that would be dumb. Now these performers aren't being paid but they are preforming not only at the super bowl but they are performing to millions of people in the world the Super Bowl is something that every year is one of the most watched things in the year every year. So I think that they first should be checking the outfits first of all and just not let them perform in that clothing if they think it is inappropriate.  Also they fine these people like a million dollars or so but you know these people are millionaire's they aren't scared of getting fined because they have money. I feel that they either need to raise the fines or like stick them in prison or something, I know that sounds like its a little harsh but if I were to walk up and down the street naked I would get arrested for indecent exposure, so why aren't they when they are doing something that's twice as worse and doing this on T.V? So I don't feel that it should be taken off, I like watching the show I know not everyone does and not everyone would care if it got cancelled but I personally think that it shouldn't be canceled and they should just figure out ways to get preformers to stop being inappropriate.

So what do you think? Do you agree?

Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone Book Review



Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Review

So today I'm going to do something new I'm going to do a review of a book and todays book is a series of which is one of my favorites. The Harry Potters series, these books are written by J.K. Rowling and is about a boy wizard who goes to a wizard school to be educated. So The Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in a series of 7. In this book finds out he's a wizard and he goes to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry for the first time with his first year Harry learns about how his parents died and finds out how he is the survivor of one of the most famous wizards of all time Lord Voldemort. So I love these books are written so beautifully. I love the characters they are just phenomenal, they feel so real and you cant help but relate to all of them. These are childrens books but you can be an adult and really relate to these charcters. I know plenty of adults who absolutely love these books. Now these books are a fanstasy I guess you could say but they don't go to far into fantasy in my opinion they just dive in enough that you can really enjoy these books. There are dragons and goblins and all that but it still is good enough that your not overwhelmed. These books have been made into a successful film franchise as I'm sure you all know because these books are just so great. This book has everything friendship, and awesome action and adventures, it even has sports, its not exactly sports we know but its still an awesome sport that just pulls you in. I love the idea that there is this whole other world that exists and we can just sink into this world and just lose ourselves into this world. I loved every second of this book its my favorite series of books and I read them every single year becuase I love them so much.

Now there are people who don't like these books because they are to much into the fantasy world and I can see that for some people there are dragons, goblins, trolls and all that. There are names like Dumbledore and other big names and such like that so I can see if people have a hard time reading these books.


So I'm not going to really give a reading for books I will say weather to read it or not to read it and that's about it!

So as for this book its of course going to get a read from me.

Thanks for reading!!!

Phillip Seymour Hoffman


Phillip Seymour Hoffman


So for Movie News Monday I regret to inform you if you haven't already heard that one the great actors Phillip Seymour Hoffman died this Sunday. Hoffman was found in his apartment in New York City and it is believed that he died of an overdose of drugs. Hoffman was had with substance abuse in the past. Hoffman was an Academy Award Winning Actor for his role in Capote and also was a three time nominee in the movies The Master, Doubt, Charlie Wilson's War. We last saw him in The Hunger Games Catching Fire, it has also been announced that his parts were for the most part finished and there will be no difficulty with filming and Part 1 and 2 of  The Hunger Games Mockingjay will still be out on the estimated days. I was just at a lost of words yesterday reading this news, I'm just sad to hear this news its just terrible. Hoffman was at the age of 46 at the time of his death and how unfortunate it is to hear that he died at such a young age. My condolences go out to his family and close friends and anyone else who was lucky enough to know him. Rest in Piece!!!!!!

The Amazing Spider Man 2 Trailer 2 Review


The Amazing Spider Man 2 Trailer 2


Now I've been excited for this movie and this trailer still makes me excited for this movie. I have a complaint though I don't like how Electro becomes evil he's this nice guy who wants to be like Spider Man and then just becomes all evil, I don't know if its from when he falls in the pit of eels or what but it just seems like he just becomes evil all of a sudden. The special effects look just awesome!! I think/know Gwen is going to die which makes me really sad because I love Emma and just don't want to see her die. Looks like Electro is just going to destroy Time Square which is just awesome, I do like Andrew Garfield as Spider Man he's just awesome. One thing I hated about the first one was that he was TOO cocky I like a cocky superhero but it was going to far in the first one and this one looks like its going to be darker that he's not going to be able to be as cocky which I do like. Jamie Foxx as Electro just looks bad ass and I'm so excited. We really didn't see much of the Goblin or of The Rhino so it seems as if their parts will be smaller which makes me feel a little better about all the villains. So I'm excited about this one and I will probably be seeing this one in theaters!!

Transformers Age of Extinction Trailer Review



Transformers Age of Extinction


So this is our first look at the new Transformers and there is really not much to say. The  trailer has awesome special effects, looks like a lot of Bay explosions, lots of running away from explosions, a lot of screaming and running from everyone, I do like the dino bots they look cool and all but I don't know I hated the last two Transformers and I just think this one is going to suck as well. I don't like Bay he just goes in for money in my opinion he puts some explosions and special effects and he calls it a movie and I hate that. I like Mark Wahlberg I think he's a great actor and maybe he will make this movie awesome and all but I really just don't have any hope for this movie!!

Captain America 2 Trailer Review 2


Captain America 2 Trailer 2


So the Super Bowl was last night and that means new awesome trailers and this year we had three really big ones that I want to talk about and Captain America is the first of these trailers so lets get started. Well the first thing I thought was awesome was the fact that we got to see more of The Winter solider and how its Bucky from the past and how there's something wrong with him and he's got a metal arm that looks awesome!! Nick Fury is getting his butt kicked, and I almost think he might die in this movie!! It looks like the Winter solider is causing a lot of havoc in D.C which is awesome but not awesome because its D.C. Looks like a lot of awesome battle scenes, looks like a lot of awesome special effects, I also think that this movie is going to be a little darker than the first one, I feel like Phase 2 of this of this is a lot darker with their first two parts so it should be interesting. So I'm excited for this movie I think its going to be awesome!! I'm definitely going to be going to see this movie the day it comes out so lets hope its as awesome as it looks!!

21 Jump Street Review


21 Jump Street

So 21 Jump Street is about these two cops who go undercover at a high school to figure out and take down this drug lord who is selling drugs at a high school. So I have to start by saying that I thought this movie was going to be dumb, remaking T.V. series can suck, The Smurfs is an example of that. This movie though this movie is just great! I loved this movie it was just great. So lets start with the acting in this movie, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are just great in this movie they have such great chemistry I loved the pair of them together they were just hilarious! Ice Cube was in this movie and I usually hate him but I actually enjoyed him in this movie and I'm excited for the second him and I'm excited to see him back. Now I loved most of the cast but there is one person who bugged me and that was Dave Franco, I don't really hate his performance, I think what I don't like is his voice, I don't know what it is but I just didn't like him. His voice does annoy me and I'm not going to dock points down at all for it but I think I just hate his voice I don't like his voice it just annoys me. Jesse Eisenberg is another one for me I just hate his voice, he's a decent actor and all but I just hate his voice and I just don't like him because of it.  Now the story of this movie was a good buddy cop movie not going to lie I really enjoyed this movie. The movie is not really a remake, but more of a reboot I guess, the T.V. show was more serious I know, I haven't watched a whole lot of it but it was more serious and this movie just set out to be funny and it was funny. The other thing I didn't like about this movie was that I knew who the bad guy was from the start, I had guessed it and I was right and I think it was just a little obvious of who it was. They put it out as a mystery and it wasn't a mystery for me I knew who it was. Now another positive for me was the fact that they showed high school perfectly like it is today. Today in school you can be cool and still be a nerd you can like video games and you can know a lot about technology and still be very social and have a lot of friends and people like you, I really liked that because that is what its like at school today. I love like I said in last review with Zohan how a movie just does what it wants to do and makes a great comedy and this movie did just that.

So what are the people saying? So the people are saying a lot of great things about this movie just like I am. The chemistry is great between the two the movie sets out to be a comedy and that's exactly what this movie does. The comedy is great just like I said, everyone likes this movie loved what the movie set out to do. Now there are a few people who are saying that the movie's humor isn't all that great but its like I said everyone does not have the same humor some people are going to like this humor and some aren't  that's just the way it is and that's part of the reason I love movies. There are also people saying the movie is uneven and all over the place and that's something that I'm going to have to disagree with, I think that the movie does what it sets out to do and the movie is just great the way it is. Other than that the movie is all just great no one is really giving the movie a bad review at all.

So as for the ratting of this movie I'm surprised to say that I'm going to give this movie an 8/10!!

So what did you think? Did you agree?

Let me know what you think and thanks for reading!!

You Don't Mess With the Zohan Review






You Don't Mess With the Zohan






So this movie is about this Israeli solider dude who is sick of helping fight the constant battle going on in his country and is sick of his job there so he fakes his death and goes to New York City to make his career as a hairstylist. So this is an Adam Sandler comedy, and I have to say I enjoyed this movie. Now if someone doesn't like this movie I can totally understand because it is just dumb! This movie reminds me a lot of the comedy in like Austin Powers and in The Naked Gun movies its not meant to really have a point its just supposed to be stupid and dumb and funny. I like a movie that you can see it and just know that when they were making it they were saying this movie is going to be an action movie or a comedy and that's all its going to be. I like that these movies just do what they set out to do they don't need to be Oscar winning movies all they need to be is entertaining and that's all they do is they entertain they do what they set out to do and I really enjoy that. The acting in this movie is over the top like its supposed to be and stupid so no its not exactly good. I can just tell that the whole cast had fun making this movie they had some fun and really that is all they were trying to do have fun making a movie that they hoped would entertain you and that's what this movie did for me. Now this movie is just perverted and not at all appropriate, how this movie got a PG 13 rating is beyond me, this movie is just crazy perverted I can't believe how far it went. Now the story of this movie is just kind of dumb yes but I love it its a great message really follow your dreams.




Now what are the people saying? Now there is some decent things here for an Adam Sandler movie and a lot of the positive things are coming from people who are saying the same things that I'm talking about take the movie for what it is a stupid movie that's supposed to make you laugh which is what it does. Now some people are going to say that the comedy was just crap it wasn't funny and it was perverted and if you don't like that kind of humor then well I can really understand that but there is actually a lot of good things about this one at least its got about the same rattings as Austin Powers does. One thing I don't understand is there are people who hate this movie but love Austin Powers... what?!?! Austin Powers uses Dental Floss to swing over a bowl of sharks but if Adam Sandler beats people up with his feet this isn't funny but dental floss is... What?!?! I just don't understand that, I feel like there are some people out there who just hate Adam Sandler and that's why they hated this movie, maybe that's just me but I feel like there are just some people who hate Adam Sandler.






So as for a rating of this film just like Austin Powers I'm going to have to give this movie a 6/10 and the reason for that is because of the fact that its just so stupid.


So I also need to apologize for lack in posts and I'm sorry I've just been exhausted I've been working nights and its been hard on me, a couple more weeks of this and I will be done with the night shifts and I will be working normal again.








So what did you think? Do you agree?
