Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier. - IMDb

I LOVED this movie! It was amazing and definitely worth seeing. There was a lot of action in this movie. I'm not a big fan of Hydra coming back and thought it was finished in the first movie. Also, does Hydra know that an octopus is not a hydra? Shouldn't their symbol be a Hydra monster like in Greek mythology? I also thought Director Fury was in charge of S.H.E.I.L.D. and would know what was going on in his organization. I do think it would have been a little better if Coulson was in the movie. He's pretty amazing and I like him. I think all the Avengers should know he is alive and so far only Thor probably knows because other Asgardians know. I was shocked to find out who the Winter Solider was. It made me feel bad for Captain America.

5 stars

Sarah from 92.5 XTU was there! I like when the radio station is at a screening. They bring cool stuff to give away. I got a drawstring bag, a Captain America shield pin, a poster and a t-shirt! They played music before the movie started and had even had heroes from the military there. It was nice to see the military come to the front and take a picture saluting. Sarah is always very friendly and makes me feel special.

A very happy Maymay and Berry.

Review: Sabotage

Members of an elite DEA task force find themselves being taken down one by one after they rob a drug cartel safe house. - IMDb

I liked this movie and thought it was really good. There was one part I didn't like at all.  I really liked that it was kind of a mystery whodunnit type thing. I thought that they had funny names like Tripod, Sugar, Neck, Monster, Pyro, Smoke, Grinder, and Breacher. It was very twisted but cool. I wish there was explosions, well more explosions. I think Arnold Schwarzenegger played his character very well. I thought he was the best actor in the movie.

Review: Cesar Chavez

A biography of the civil-rights activist and labor organizer Cesar Chavez. - IMDb

I liked this movie. It's a true story about Cesar Chavez who helped immigrant farm workers, and made sure they get paid a fair amount of money for their hard work. Cesar went through so much trouble to put a union together for the farmers. He even tried starving himself to make people see what was happening to the farm workers and make sure everyone was not violent. He didn't stand for fighting at all. I liked that he was willing to do anything to look for help but some of the things he did was stupid. My favorite person in the movie was Rosario Dawson. I think she is an amazing actress and is very good at what she does. I didn't like seeing so many people getting beat up, and to see little kids working on a farm made my heart hurt very bad. I think what happened back then was terrible and I'm glad Cesar Chavez worked hard to give the farm workers dignity. It makes me feel like I wish I could have been there to help them.

Review: Divergent

In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she's Divergent and won't fit in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must find out what makes Divergents dangerous before it's too late. ~ IMDb

I really liked this movie! I usually like movies that are based on books. This is about a futuristic society that is divided into five factions. The five factions are: Abnegation the selfless, Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Candor the honest, and Amity the peaceful. When teenagers reach the age of sixteen, they must choose to either stay in their faction from their birth, or transfer to any other faction. I don't understand what they have the factions and keep the people separated. I don't know what faction I would be in. I'm not crazy brave like Dauntless, but would like to be with Four. He's beautiful. I think I'd like to be in a more helpful less crazy group like Amity. This is a very good movie that has action and cool people in it.

Maymay and Berry were extremely excited to be discussing the book Divergent with a group before the screening.

Review: Muppets Most Wanted

While on a grand world tour, The Muppets find themselves wrapped into an European jewel-heist caper headed by aKermit the Frog look-alike and his dastardly sidekick. ~ IMDb

I really liked this movie and thought it was cute. I liked all the cameos, especially Lady Gaga, Ross Lynch, and Celine Dion. I LOVED Celine Dion singing with Miss Piggy. They sang my favorite song from Titanic and that made me happy. I spent most of the movie feeling sad for Kermit, and thought he did a really good job playing two different characters.  My favorite muppet is Animal. He is crazy and very good about knowing peoples personalities. Miss Piggy annoys me because if she doesn't get what she wants she freaks out like a little kid until she gets it. I think it would be better if she were less "it's all about me" and thought of the other muppets more often. Tina Fey was really funny and made me laugh the entire movie.

4 1/2 stars

Maymay and Berry mixing it up with the Muppets!
Maymay trying to look like Constantine. Pretty evil, huh?
We got the cutest giveaways! The pen is really awesome, and who doesn't like stickers?

Review: Veronica Mars

Years after walking away from her past as a teenage private eye, Veronica Mars gets pulled back to her hometown - just in time for her high school reunion - in order to help her old flame Logan Echolls, who's embroiled in a murder mystery. - IMDb

I liked this movie. It was a detective crime solving movie. It was so good I now want to see the TV show. I liked that Veronica was a detective, but I don't understand why she would want to give it up. Being a detective looks like a pretty cool job and very interesting all the time. Why give up something like that? I was happy that Eden Sher was in the movie. She plays Sue on the TV show The Middle.

Review: The Grand Budapest Hotel

Picture
The adventures of Gustave H, a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars, and Zero Moustafa, the lobby boy who becomes his most trusted friend. - IMDb

I did not understand this movie. It had a story inside a story and I got confused. I didn't get most of it except that Gustave and Zero became best friends and took care of each other. That was nice. I liked the hotel. I wish I could go there. It looks like a fun place to explore. There were really pretty scenes in the countryside and in the hotel. Other than that, I didn't understand anything else and it was just confusing to me. I wished there was something more to the story to help me understand it better. I was not interested in this movie.

2 stars


Allied gave these really nice pins after the screening.

Review: Mr. Peabody & Sherman

I thought this was a cute movie. It made me laugh and was very entertaining. Penny was very annoying and mean. I don't like people that are mean. I thought it was cool that they went to so many places. I liked the people they met too. They were really funny. Mr. Peabody was a cute dog, but it was weird that nobody was afraid of a really smart talking dog. I would be scared. Sherman is a strange kid. I liked him the most. I'm a strange kid too. I was confused why a dog was a father of a boy, but families are odd in real life too. I was happy that I got to see the Titanic in the movie. I love the Titanic.

5 stars because it made me laugh and had the Titanic.


The screening this morning was hosted by country music station, 92.5 XTU. The fantastic ladies representing the station went all out. There were uber cool giveaways and a free breakfast! Yeah, breakfast. They had Lucky Charms cereal, donuts, orange juice, and TastyKakes. I've never been to a screening that was so generous. As hectic as things got, this amazing and hard working team kept their cool and and sense of humor.
