Review: Star wars vii:The Force Awakens (spoilers)

12/26/2015

Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The First Order attempts to rule the galaxy and only a rag-tag group of heroes can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance.

Who decided to wake the force up? I liked the movie. Lots of action and things going Boom!! I really liked how they tied in some of the old stuff like the AT-AT walker and Vader's ship. Kylo was a good villain but Vader is way better and has a cooler costume. I really liked how they had the  Millennium  Falcon and Luke's Light saber too. I was a little bummed that they didn't show very much of R2-D2. He's my favorite droid although BB-8 is adorable. I really liked that they had Vader's helmet. I  thought Luke had pulled it off though. It looked super destroyed. I really liked the new stormtroopers. They had really cool costumes but I like Captain Phasma's the best. It was shiny and silver. I also did not expect for Phasma to be a girl. That surprised me. Where did all the Jedi go? What happened to them all? My favorite characters were Rey and Finn. I like tough female characters. If stormtroopers are "programmed" to kill and work for the Empire then how is it Finn was able to escape? If I could have one power it would be the Jedi mind trick. That would be fun to play with. "These are not the droids you are looking for"-Obi Wan. I want cool Jedi skills. I think I would make a really good Jedi. I really disliked when they killed Han Solo. Poor Chewy lost his best friend. I think Rey is supposed to be Luke's daughter but it's hard to tell because I still thing Leia being her aunt would of recognized her if she was. I also expected Luke to be evil and not Han's kid. That was a major surprise to me.

review: Concussion

12/26/2015

Will Smith stars in Concussion, a dramatic thriller based on the incredible true David vs. Goliath story of American immigrant Dr. Bennet Omalu, the brilliant forensic neuropathologist who made the first discovery of CTE, a football-related brain trauma, in a pro player and fought for the truth to be known. Omalu's emotional quest puts him at dangerous odds with one of the most powerful institutions in the world.

This movie was so good. Will Smith is so getting nominated for something for this movie. What bugs me the most is to find out that the NFL took so long to look into football brain damage from repeated concussions. They called this man a liar and and fraud and found many ways to make him look like a fool. They even tried denying the fact that this was actually happening. I liked that he never gave up to prove that football players need more safety. You can't just send a person with a concussion back on to the field because it's so bad for their health. I also liked that his wife was there to support him the whole time since they first met. She helped him keep going even though he wanted to give up. I can't believe the NFL would overlook something so important and so dangerous. They should have listened to Dr. Bennet from the beginning. This and hockey and I'm sure a few other sports should never overlook something like this. They should be more worried about the players. This movie really does need an award. It was fantastic.

Review: Jem and the Holograms

As a small-town girl catapults from underground video sensation to global superstar, she and her three sisters begin a journey of discovering that some talents are too special to keep hidden.

Why does every movie about a pop star have to have where they fight with their group and break up and then later be sorry for what happened and get back together like nothing ever happened? Why is it never about a happy band or a band that breaks up for good, doesn't see each other for like a year or two and then run into each other making the situation awkward? Also why is there always a love interest or someone close to it? I do like that it was a band of sisters although if they were adopted by Jerrica and Kimber's aunt wouldn't they be their cousin's even if they were living with them? I liked Synergy.It was a cute little robot. I really liked how the famous people were saying how they liked Jem. Supporting her work and music. I didn't like when she went solo without telling her sisters. It felt that it happened to quickly too. Like she just became famous and she was already going solo. That was pretty mean to do to her sisters even if it was to save their house so they could all stay together. Although would they have really been separated if the house was taken? They all live  together. Wouldn't they have to stay with the aunt? I still think the best part is the little robot.

review: The good dINosaur

An epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend.

I thought the movie was really cute and strange. Arlo gets separated from his family and has to find his way back home with the help of Spot. All he wanted to make his mark. It's supposed to be a boy and his dog type of relationship between the two characters except Arlo is supposed to be the boy and Spot is the dog. I didn't like Arlo's siblings. They were kind of mean and I think his brother was the meanest. They kept teasing him and messing up his chores. I really liked the T-rex family that helped him when the Pterodactyls attacked. I did find it strange that dinosaurs were farming and raising livestock. I doubt that would happen in real life. Plus if livestock existed back then wouldn't there be humans to take care of it? It was sad to see spot go home when he wanted to Arlo. It was cute that they had each others back throughout the journey. They were like best friends who never left each other's side until the end.

review: in the heart of the sea

Based on the 1820 event, a whaling ship is preyed upon by a giant whale, stranding its crew at sea for 90 days, thousands of miles from home.

​The story that inspired Moby Dick. I didn't even know that this really happened.Or that white whales ever existed.I liked the movie though.I wonder which part inspired Captain Ahab's character in the book.I can't decide if it was the Captain or the First Mate.I really liked Chris Hemsworth but his character seemed more like the Captain than the First Mate. I also believe that the whale would had to be smart to attack and follow the crew.What I don't understand is why didn't they kill it when they had the chance?It was what they were trying to go for  wasn't it.?I think I would have been just as scared as the crew was if a whale attacked.Although in the book Moby Dick,didn't Ahab have his leg bitten of by the whale?That didn't happen in this story.I felt bad that one guy killed himself before the crew was rescued or got to shore.I think the best part was when Owen Chase got to meet his little girl even though he wasn't there for the birth.The other thing I didn't get is why they didn't make Owen Chase a Captain.

review: Creed

The former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Balboa serves as a trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson, the son of his late friend and former rival Apollo Creed.

I like Rocky and I liked this movie but did they really need another movie with Rocky.There is already six of them.It was a different story but the same as the original Rocky.The training for a fight he can't win.His eye sealing shut during the fight.I am glad they didn't cut it open like in Rocky.Then the people on motorbikes are riding behind Adonis as he is running  like Rocky had his people run behind him. I don't understand why they did that though.I also don't understand why they would try to fight someone they knew they couldn't beat.Which is something else similar to Rocky. It was almost like remaking the movie but with a different  but similar storyline. I did enjoy it though.I liked that Adonis considered Rocky as his uncle.I thought that was really sweet.I also liked that Rocky considered it an honor to be called family by Adonis. I liked how they took care of each other.I did at one point think something bad was gonna happen to Rocky during the fight that would cause Adonis to fail. Like he was gonna get sick and Adonis would get distracted and lose the fight.
