Homefront
It was a typical action movie.  I like typical action movies.   They have the usual mix of stuff blowing up, people fighting, and the testosterone flowing like a raging river.  It's good stuff.  I like Jason Statham and LOVE James Franco, so I was happy to see this movie.  Look, it is what it is.  It's a movie where you see the good guys win and the bad guys are uber bad.  While there is no actual shirtless men beating their fists on their chests, you get the point.  No silly moral shoved in your face, or sappy love story.  Nope.  This sucker is all about the manliest good guy winning and tearing shit up on the way.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I loved this movie.  It is a beautiful film with gorgeous scenery.  Although it kinda feels like a motivational poster on Red Bull, it is a fun movie that takes a middle aged man on an adventure of a lifetime.  I enjoyed the elaborate fantasy sequences Walter has concocted in his warped little head.  I know this is a remake, but Ben Stiller's version is fun, quirky, and a whole lotta awkward.  Yup, my kind of movie.

Hunger Games: Catching Fire
This is the second movie in the Hunger Games series.  I was impressed with the level of complexity and consideration to the book director Francis Lawrence gave us.  This is exactly the movie I wanted.  Of course there are differences between the book and movie, but there always are.  This felt true to the story and satisfied my geek side.  I can't say enough wonderful things about Jennifer Lawrence.  She is beautiful, tough, emotional, talented, etc...  I mean, seriously.  Is it fair that one woman should be so utterly tremendous?  I'd hate her, but she really is a freakishly talented actress.  Luckily everyone else in this movie was absolutely fantastic as well.  Although I knew what was in store for Cinna, I cried like I actually knew him.  Lenny Kravitz played Cinna perfectly.  I only wish he were on screen more.  I'm anxiously waiting for the rest of the story.  I hope the same attention to details is taken for the next installment.

Frozen
I just didn't love this movie at all.  It felt like it was trying to be like the movie Tangled instead of standing on it's own.  The only redeeming qualities in this movie is hearing Idina Menzel sing, and Olaf the snowman.  It is a cute family friendly movie, just not one of my favorites.

It looks like fellow Disney royals, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, made an appearance at Elsa’s coronation in Arendelle.

Philomena
I wasn't prepared for the level of emotions I would go through seeing this film.  I realize I'm an emotional girl, but this movie had my heart aching for a mom that just wanted to know if her son, who was stolen by the church that she trusted more than than mere words can convey, ever thought or wondered about her.  I had moments where I honestly felt her pain.  I was amazed by her faith and ability to forgive those who had hurt her so deeply.  I'm not sure if I could have such grace in that circumstance.  This movie made me think and look inside myself about my own faith.  The spunky attitude Philomena had, along with her quick wit, made me wish I knew her.  There is more to this story, and the growth and change in the reporter was nice to watch, but the reason to see this movie is to see Dame Judi Dench portray Philomena in the most beautiful and graceful manner. 

Dallas Buyers Club
I'm in complete love with Matthew McConaughey.  I believe he is proof that God loves me.  Well, him and bacon, but I digress.  Anyway, I think he is a beautiful man that should spend time with me.  I will watch terrible movies just to watch Matthew and hear his sweet Texan drawl.  It allows me time to stare and daydream about the beautifulness that is Matthew McConaughy.  This is why I was happy to see this movie.  I was not prepared to forget that it was Matthew and instead I found myself lost in the story of Ron Woodroof. This is a strong story of a rodeo man that had zero thoughts other than the next rodeo, his next sex partner, or beer.  Watching his life transform though his battle with Aids was moving.  Even more wonderous was Jared Leto.  He was simply fantastic.  This movie is not a blockbuster, but it is a movie that should be seen.

Last night was the screening for Thor: The Dark World.  It was a very organized and well run screening.  The Allied staff were as professional and kind as always, and the team from WMMR were outgoing, friendly and just FUN!

Maymay was VERY excited to see the GIANT movie poster for Thor.  She has been anxiously awaiting this movie for so long that she was happy dancing to be here!

I wish I would think to take a picture of Maymay with the folks at Allied.  They have been STUPENDOUS with her!  Some of the reps are worth their weight in gold, and they really do go out of their way for her.  They are a terrific group of hard working people!

I just cannot get over how happy getting to go to a screening makes this child!  I asked Maymay to not wear her Batman hoodie to the Thor screening.  She looked at me and said, "Thor is a god. He will get over it."

Good point kid.

The radio station, WMMR (93.3 FM) was hosting this screening.  Maymay got to meet one of the morning hosts, Steve Morrison.  He was really kind and very funny.  I'm pretty sure that's why he's one of the main guys on the radio.  They talked a bit about her website and he gave her his full attention while they talked.

Maymay was thrilled he liked Berry.  

I cannot describe the joy on this kids face when she was given this t-shirt!  You would think it was made of solid gold!  She CLUNG to it the entire movie, and was beyond excited to wear it to school today.

I guess I should actually say something about the movie. 

I enjoyed this movie immensely.  It was exactly what I wanted from a Marvel movie.  It was full of humor, action, weird stuff, and a shirtless Thor.  Yup, this movie had it all!  I could sit here and tell you everything about the movie, but truthfully it doesn't matter what I say.  If you're a Marvel fan you're going to see it no matter what!  If you aren't into superhero/comic movies, I'm not sure why you're reading this anyway.  This is a fun movie with actors that are way past good at what they do.   

Thor, Chris Hemsworth, is ridiculously good looking and somehow very believable as a god.  I don't any woman in the theater that wasn't extremely happy to see him shirtless.  Hell, I think quite a few men were pretty happy about it too.

Loki, Tom Hiddleston, was spectacular!  I'm thrilled he was on screen more than I expected.  I appreciated the twists and turns that only Loki can get away with.

So...stop reading about it and go see it!  I'm most certainly going to see it again soon!
