review: Shazam!

4/5/2019

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word - SHAZAM! - this streetwise fourteen-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam.

This movie was actualy very good though the story of how he got his powers is very stupid. Though it would be cool to have superpowers I don't think you're supposed to show off your powers. That's the whole point of secret idenity. That's also what I was really annoyed about. He just walked around while his foster brother is saying his name,showing off his powers and saying stuff like "Oh hey I'm a superhero". It's very opposite of what a superhero does and pretty much ruins the whole secret idenity rule. Especially when he almost told his one foster sister and had already told the younger one. I didn't really like the bad guy that much. The seven deadly sins and a glowy eye orb thing. All he wanted ws the superhero power for himself. Which also feels like that's all the bad guys goals in like every superhero thing ever. A bad guy wants to do something so thier first move is to take their power fro the heroes. Are they that lazy to come up with a new plan to beat the hero? I mean they are supposed to be evil geniuses right? This movie was also funny and everytime Zachary Levi panicked it kind of reminded me of Chuck. This is a good movie to see but make sure you stay for the two credit scenes. If you don't then you're definitely missing out. This movie turned out better than I thought it was though the beginning was confusing me. It starts off thundering but it's snowing and they never explained why the dad and the brother hated the kid. It was them just hating on him but he didn't do anything. I wasn't a big fan of Billy's birth mom either. She was a big jerk.

Carol Danvers becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes when Earth is caught in the middle of a galactic war between two alien races.

YASSSSSSSSSS!!!!! This movie was fantasic and is one of the best Marvel movies ever. She was awesome and fierce and can kick some serious butt. I also love Coulson and Nick Fury. I also really loved the cat,Goose even though he was a Flerken. I feel like this was how Hydra came up with their symbol. Scarlet Witch is my favorite female character but Marvel and Black Widow are not far behind. The amazing part was that they still had Stan Lee's Cameo and they opened it with Stan Lee. They could not have done it better. I think the other cool part is that you get to see the origin of the Tesseract and how Fury lost his eye but get's an awesome eyepatch. There is just so much excitement and awesomness in this movie you'll never be bored. You'll want to see this again when you're done. She's a very powerful female character and watching this movie makes me so excited to see to see her in Endgame. Thanos has no chance against the Avengers at this point. I also really like that they included the Airforce. I thought it was really cool and the rocket looking ship was pretty cool too. I am confused how no one figured out that the Dr. lady was a Kree. People around her had to have seen her bleed at some point. She lived on Earth for so long someone would have to notice her blood is blue. Brie Larson rocked at playing this character and if I could recast it I wouldn't change a thing. She killed it and I'm already wanting a second one.

review: Isn't It Romantic

A young woman disenchanted with love mysteriously finds herself trapped inside a romantic comedy.

This movie was so funny and I love Rebel Wilson. She hates romantic comedies so much that she find herself in one. The end scene was awesome but Liam looked so akward trying to dance. He didn't know what he was doing. I still love him though. Honestly I think the only reason she hated the movies was because her mother was always saying negative things about them. Life may not be a fairytale but they are still good movies to watch. I wasn't a big fan of Blake as a character. He was kind of jerkish and dropping petals with numbers does not work that way. You can't just drop them and suddenly get someone's phone number. Also not every guy in the romantic comedy  falls for the girl. Just the character who ends up becoming her best friend. Also not all of the movies end up with crashing a wedding because they love the groom or the bride. I still think this movie is worth watching if you want a good laugh. I really like Donny as a character. He just seems so fun and is always so positive about everything. Though it was strange that he was literally everywhere whenever she needed him. He could have been off on a vacation but when she needed him he would just show up. It was as if he was magic or something. I do find it funny that it's Fat Amy and Bumper from Pitch Perfect in the movie together. I like them together. They are both really funny.

review:Kid who would be king

2/9/2019

A band of kids embark on an epic quest to thwart a medieval menace.

I really liked this movie. I thought it was a clever way to do a King Arthur movie. Even though it wasn't about his dad I still wish they would explain why he was the one who could pull the sword from the stone. Only the true heir could pull it but doesn't that make his missing father a king or descendant of a king somewhere in his family line? Lance annoyed me with his mean bullying ways even after Alex knighted him. He was greedy,selfish and rude. Kaye was not reall my favorite either. She was just following Lance around though it looked like she wanted to still help out. Merlin was crazy but I liked him the best. Though out of all the things he could turn into what was with the owl? There are other birds. I am very confused on how not a single construction worker would have noticed that sword before Alex could have found it. Also what happens when the non knighted people disappear? Are they still doing things in the world? Do they notice their kids are gone? Do they go to some other magical land or universe? What happens to them? It was pretty good though I thought it was really lame that the only thing he really had to do to kill Morgana was to love and appreciate and apologize to his mother. That should always be a thing but was a cheesy way to defeat Morgana. I'm very impressed that kids even volunteered to help even though it was to skip class. Class or no class I would be terrified to fight all those demons. I do find it funny that Merlin's super juice was fruit punch,chicken and something else. It was so weird. I also find it strange that they left the world on the shoulders of a kid.

review: Bumblebee

On the run in the year of 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie, on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken.

I really liked this movie een though it's another Transformers movie. I liked how it explained how Bumblebee lost his voice box and how he got to Earth. I don't really understand the whole war thing on Cybertron because I thought they were fighting over the All-Spark cube thing. I do think the humans in this movie are stupid to believe a decepticon. Deception is literally in the name. Anything they say is a lie. Charlie's mom was very annoying. It felt as if she hated Charlie and favorited her son more. I really liked that they showed how Bumblebee learned how to talk. I am curious of how the mom never saw Bumblebee's hand waving in the rearview mirror or heard her daughter talking to the car. I think overall I like that it's Bumblebee's  story before he meets Sam and everyone else after that. I do hope they make one that explains their whole war. The fall of Cybertron. Honestly it's hard to believe there was ever a timeof peace on their planet. Also Bumblebee was not the only Autobot fighting so why  is he the only one they are calling a traitor. Wouldn't that make all the Autobots criminals? Why are they only after Bumblebee? And if it was for Optimus Prime then why didn't they just wait until he got to Earth to attack? As soon as Bumblebee sent a signal he would have been there eventually and with the Decepticons having intercepted also would have been there in which they could have taken each other out. It was much better than I thought it was going to be and I liked they still had the whole Sector 7 people. Though if they already knew about the robots then why were they after Sam when he got pulled into the war? I still think it's a movie worth watching and very actiony. What I love the best is that this is also how he got his name.She named him and he kept it. I thought it was kind of sweet.

review: lego movie 2

It's been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are facing a huge new threat: Lego Duplo invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild.

This movie was really good but I like the first one better. I do think that the whole Rex situation was a little stupid. I did feel kind of bad for the sister because her brother was being a bit mean to her and all she wanted was to play with him. Though she didn't have to take his stuff either nor did he have to destroy her stuff. I like the songs from the first movie better. I didn't like the Everything Is Awesome remix thing they were using. I kind of liked Queen Watevra because she could change her shape to whatever but her true form was the heart that Emmit built. I was confused at first because that song about her not being evil seemed very misleading. I think my favorite character besides Emmit has to be the stars and hearts. They were just too cute and the way they said hello or I love you before blowing things up. I just can't get over how cute they were. I don't really like the names of stuff. Their naming was horrible. Like stairgate(door to the basement),undarthedrayar(under the dryer),sistar system(sister's bedroom) and mommagedon(mom). They were all so cheesy and badly named. I know technically the lego people are naming them so they are supposed to be but since lego people can't really talk and the teenage human Finn is naming them I feel like they should be better named. It's still a pretty good movie overall and worth seeing at least once or twice.

review: A Dog's Way Home

A female dog travels four hundred miles in search of her owner throughout a Colorado wilderness.

I love the dog movies because they are so cute but they dog's journey back home just seemed a bit stretched out. It took forever just for the dog to find it's way back. The CGI for the moutain lion wasn't that great either. I feel like some of the journey could have been cut out. It was nothing like the trailer though. I thought the dog ran away chasing  the squirrel causing her to get lost. She didn't run way at all. They had to send her away because they weren't allowed to walk her with out Animal Control taking her. Personally I thought it would have been better if she had accidentlly got lost chasing the squirrel. The dog didn't even look like a pitbull and she wasn't that big. I do like that she made people in the hospital feel better. They were all laughing and having fun with her. They would tease the one doctor and the one guy would take her for a ride in his wheel chair. Those were my favorite scenes besides the ones where people would try to take care of her on her way back to Colorado. I really liked the two men who helped her  who were trying to take care two dogs at once because the owner of the one dog abandoned it refusing to take the dog back especially after the dog helped save his life. That house visit was the worst scene in the movie. I felt so bad for the dog but then it got a better family which made me happy. The had a reall nice house too.

review: Mary Poppins Returns

Decades after her original visit, the magical nanny returns to help the Banks siblings and Michael's children through a difficult time in their lives.

I loved this movie. It is very much what you'd expect from Mary Poppins. Very color and entertaining with very well written music. Emily Blunt was the perfect Mary Ppoppins. I don't understand why the bank wanted Michael's house so bad though. They never explained it. Also how was the captain still alive he was shooting cannons since Jane and Michael were kids. It's like he never aged at all. I do like that they didn't use the chimney sweeps again but I don't remember any kid named Jack in the original movie waving up to Jane. It's definately a movie worth seeing especially with Meryl Streep in it. Turning Turtle is one of my favorite songs of the film along with "Trip A Little Light Fantastic""Lovely London Sky" and "Can You Imagine That". I love the lamp lighters' dance scene with the lamp posts as they make their wy home. It was just so much fun and worth watching more than once. Though I am very confused how she is the only one with magic in this world. Also if this theoretically  had taken place in J.K Rowling's Harry Potter World wouldn't she be in trouble for using magic in front of muggles for both movies? She's just going around to people's homes and doing all this stuff that no one can actually do and gets away with it because she's a nanny? I'd still want her around just because it's all really cool. Mary Poppins is definitely one of the coolest nannies ever.

review: Escape Room

Six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive.

This movie was good but sort of predictable as it kept going. I do wonder who is behind it because someone has clearly been watching them to make these rooms very specific. I am curious to know why this person wants them dead though. Those puzzles were insane. I was not prepared for anyone to die so quickly or to really die at all. Like a room of illusions. Jason was my least favorite character out of the whole movie. He was just a big jerk. Also who kept putting him in charge because he just kept taking the lead and going through the doors first. It's not like he was the one to figure out any of the puzzles except one while the others figured out the rest. I'm still trying to figure out which rooms go with witch person. It was definitely full of drama and arguing. The beginning was really stupid though. It was very unnecessary and a waste. I am curious to know what would have happened if they hadn't figured out the first puzzle. Would they still be sitting there or would the game makers kill them all? Also the whole game makers thing reminds me too much of the Hunger Games but this is like a whole other level of the Games. I love puzzles and want to try an escape room but this scares me a bit. I hope the next movie is less predictable and they find out who is behind it because I'm not sure they could pull off a third movie with the same characters and story line. I do find it strange that when it came to the snow room why they didn't just use the coat to warm up the key instead of their hands.

review: Once Upon A Deadpool

A retelling of Deadpool 2 in a very funny way.

So this was extremely funny and I know it's just re-watching Deadpool 2 but there is so much more. It's told in Princess Bride style and there is extra scenes you don't see in the original. It only makes the movie so much better. You even get more extra credit scenes though you must stay for the very last one and bring tissues as you may cry. It was beautifully made and it couldn't have been done any better. This is definitely something to go see. It's just as good as the normal movies maybe better with all the deleted scenes type stuff included. I hope they do more stuff like this or at lest make a Deadpool 3. This couldn't have been more perfect.
