Review: Labor Day

1/28/2014

I loved this movie and I love Kate Winslet. She was so good in this movie. She is one of my favorite female actresses from Titanic, which is my favorite movie of all time. I only wanted to see this movie because Kate is in it and I'm glad I did! 

Labor Day was done in a weird way of doing a chick flick movie, but it was done well. Although I saw similarities between her character in Labor Day and her character in other movies. There is only one thing I would change about this movie and that was the scene when the disabled kid's mom hit him really hard. This bothers me. I'm disabled and it made me very sad that this would be in the movie. Josh Brolin was really good playing his character too. I've only seen him in Men in Black 3, and he was good in that too. The kid was good, but didn't talk as much as the other characters.

4 1/2 stars because I love Kate Winslet.

Review: Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit

1/15/2014

It was a good action movie but I got bored with it.  I've seen Keira Knightley in better movies.  (HINT: The Pirates of the Caribbean movies.)  Only one think went BOOM in this whole movie.  If you are going to have a good action movie everything needs to go BOOM!  Villians really need to stop taking the girls hostage.  It's too predictable.  If you have a bad guy and a pretty girl the pretty girl is going to get kidnapped.  In every story the bad guy takes the girl and will only release her when he gets what he wants.  I was really confused why the Russians wanted to blow up Wall Street.  I've been to Wall Street.  It's pretty boring.

If more stuff went BOOM it would be a better movie.

Review: ride along

It was a funny movie but some of the parts were predictable.  It was about a guy who wants to impress his girlfriend's brother.

It starts when Ben is playing video games with some buddies online.  His girlfriend Angela wants him to get a better job or something.  Ben is then at work stopping a kid from doing the wrong thing.  He tells him a story about what his life will be if he keeps doing bad things and the kid listens and goes back to school.  After that happens Ben reads a letter that he got into the police academy.  He goes home to tell his girlfriend but her brother is in the house and scares them.  He tries to impress her brother James because he wants to marry her, but James doesn't like him at all.  James decided to take him on a ride along because he is a cop and he thinks it will scare him away from Angela.  Instead of giving him a real task he sets up annoying stuff and asks for all the annoying tasks nobody else wants.  Eventually it starts getting dangerous and Ben pretends to be a bad guy to save James from trouble.  The bad guy then shows up and threatens to kill Angela but they save her and James says he can marry her.

I knew someone was going to be a bad cop and they were going to go after Angela.  I liked that Louie from Haunted Hathaways was in it.

I thought that it was a strange movie, but I kinda liked it.  It's about a purple squirrel named Surly who gets banned from the park and to get back in he has to find the entire park food supplies for the winter.  I think it's strange he is a purple squirrel.  That bothered me.

It starts when Surly tries to get nuts out of a nut cart when Andie and Greyson show up and mess up his plan.  The cart goes flying and it sets the food they had on fire.  Surly gets blamed for it and the raccoon in charge has a vote with all the other animals and they banned Surly from the park.  So Surly and a rat walk the streets trying to find some food when he and his rat buddy find the nut shop.  They plot to steal nuts from the store and when Andie finds out she makes a deal with him that half of those nuts will go to the park.  he agrees and they get a team and start getting the nuts.  They go back a second time and have to dig another hole because a mole tried to sabotage it and they end up finding out that the raccoon has been stealing and lying to them.  The park now has food for winter so Surly can go home.

 I liked the groundhogs.

Review: The Legend of Hercules

This movie was all wrong.  The whole story about Hercules was way off.  The only things they had right was he was a strong man, he was the son of Zeus, and he slayed a lion that was impossible to kill with a sword you can only kill it by hand. The movie made me mad because it was completely wrong.  If you are going to call a movie the legend of Hercules it should actually be the legend of Hercules.

You should read about the real legend of Hercules.  Greek mythology stories are good and you will like them.  They are interesting and this movie wasn't.
