Due Date!

Yesterday I watched the movie Due Date. Here is my review for it :).

The movie Due Date is about a guy named Pater (Robert Downey Jr) who has to travel with someone named Ethan in order to see his wife give birth to a baby. They come across many obstacles and problems on the way, that come close to stopping them to see the wife give birth to the child.

Overall this film was O.KZach Galifianakis was really funny, but I thought he did better in the Hangover. There were some jokes in it that were funny. But i'm only 13 and I didn't understand some of them.


There were some very familiar songs in the movie, that had an old "Roadtrip" feeling to them. There was swearing in it here is the link for the parental guide on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1231583/parentalguide ).


I would say that I would recommend it for people who would like a "Light Laugh". But otherwise I would say that Bridesmaids is way funnier and so is the Hangover.

Water For Elephants Review

Hey sorry for the delay! But i saw Water For Elephants a couple of hours ago and just got back! Here is my review for it!




Water For Elephants firstly got its fame from the bestselling novel written by a Canadain Author (Sara Gruen). Then it was made with some of the biggest stars of all time: Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde and won an Oscar for best leading role in "Walk the line"), Robert Pattinson (Twilight, he plays the one and only Edward) and Christoph Waltz (who won best supporting role for his role in Inglorious Bastards). We thought it couldn't get any better right?Well it got a lot better!!

I came into the theatre with mixed expectations, the critics said bad things about it but the reviewers said good things about it. I didn't have a starting opinion for the movie so I just watched it and figured it out on the way.


The movie was introduced with an old man telling a story of his life. After his parents died, he jumped on a train that he had no idea where it went and got a job as a vet on the circus . He then meets the bosses wife who he falls for. The boss is known for treating animals cruelly and he hits them until they follow his command. He was nasty. I won't say anymore, but I was on the verge of tears for some parts of the film.


Now the elements in the filmmaking were stunning. The cinematographic elements were amazing and made it breathtaking in my opinion. Every shot and take from the camera had new creativity and still made the movie have emotion even without music, which is very rare for movies.

I would say that the editing was really nice too.It was done really well to show the shots needed to convey emotion in the film.The music was well done too!! (Click here to access it on itunes).

The only thing I found strange in this film would be in the mid-end of the film there is a sudden change of emotion, he just wakes up and the emotion changes from sadness to anger, like that! Im not sure if it was supposed to be that way, but I thought that change was sort of sudden and made it a little harder to follow up. But that may be just me.

I have to admit that the acting was good. Reese Witherspoon was amazing in the role and so was Christoph Waltz. I have never been a Twilight fan, but I have to admit that Robert Pattinson played his character decently and I was impressed with his acting because he seemed to display the emotions of the character well.



The animals were awesome in this movie. But there was a lot of beating. A person would smack the animal until it bled sometimes. It was so sad!

Overall I won't be surprised if this film gets a couple nominees for Oscars next year! I thought this film was done really well and I would recommend it!!! This film has for sure been underrated this year and I hope that it gets the attention that it deserves!

The Roommate

Hey! Today I have to post the review for "The Roommate"

So when I was watching T.V a couple months ago I came across the trailer for the Roommate and was like: "Whats this all about?". So then I went online and checked out the site with the full trailer on it. I thought it looked interesting. Then I was on Facebook and people were writing things like "Saw the Roommate! it was awesome!". So I figured I would go see it and see what I thought of it. I chose to post the review today because this week the Roommate came out on DVD and soundtrack. The music was done by John frizzel.

The Roommate is a film about a girl in college who has a new roommate. They seem to get along well until she notices that the Roommate has a secret and is following her around and obsessing over her.

The studio who makes these movies "Screen Gems" always makes the movies look innocent then they twist the plot to make you scared. (Prom Night)
First of all the plot, I would say is not that original. It is kind of like the plot for the movie "Single White Female" . I don't know if it is a remake or something.

Okay I have to say that it was really unrealistic in a way. There is no way that the people would not be able to notice that the Roommate is insane at the end of the film! They got warnings and everything!

A good thing about the movie was the acting! Leighon Meester is a really good actress and she played the role really well. Also the music really made the movie "Pop" out more because it conveyed the majority of the emotion.

The rest of the film was kinda tiring. It was perdictiable and a typicial movie, nothing special.But it could've been improved by making the main character smarter and more relatable to us, that would've kept us watching the movie.

Overall I would say if you want a laugh watch this with your friends but otherwise, chose another film to watch.

Here are some songs I would recommend to you!!

So this week on itunes they had the video for "Jar Of Hearts" free in Canada so I got it!!I have to say, at first I thought this song was O.K, but it grew on me!! This video is awesome and is a perfect example of a cinematographic music video.



Then I went on youtube, and I checked out some songs. I actually think that edge of glory is a good song by Lady Gaga. Its really catchy and I love how her style of music has changed!!! I really enjoyed the tune, just like Born This Way!!! Lady Gaga is just so original and she really has an amazing voice that shines through this song!! You don't see this much on her song "Judas".



Thirdly I love the song "Summer Train" By Greyson Chance. It hasn't released yet on itunes but it is amazing. Sorry if the pitch is off!!!  I truly am a Greysonator!!



Hope you enjoy this blog post!!!

Bridesmaids!!!

So yesterday night I saw the movie BridesMaids. It is a movie about different people who get chosen as the bridesmaids for someones wedding. I have to say that it was so funny!!! (14A)

It was really funny, but at the same time there was LOTS of swearing (F word,S word,B words, plus more bad words). There was some sexual scenes in it too.

But I would recommend it to people who want to have a fun time at the movies because there were some parts where I couldn't stop laughing!!!

There were some parts where my mother cried in it, because it made her sad or happy. Im not going to write a major review on this type of movie because I can't really review the elements of movies on comedy movies as much as other movies. But the theatre was PACKED!!! Imagine what the Hangover p2 is going to be like!!!

P.S water for elephants has won my poll so I will be watching that soon!!







Trailer









P.S Since the movie is 14A I wouldn't recommend it for younger people 
for the parental guide of Bridesmaids go on this link (How many swear words, etc) :

The Day After Tomorrow

Okay today we are going to take a break from the movies right now and calm our heads... And watch an amazing DISASTER FILM!!!

Usually disaster movies are about people dying, wreak and more.. but what do we learn from them??? Well....Don't follow the boogyman down a black hole!

That is why I have to recommend this film to you guys because I know you will love it!!!I should've recommended it for earth day!! Okay today I will recommend the movie The Day After Tomorrow and why I love this movie so much!!

This movie shows what is happening to our earth. The earth is basically resetting itself into the ice-age because of the trouble we have caused. The Temperature is dropping just like it did before the first ice age. This is a message that we should take care of our earth or we may face consequences.

This film is directed by an amazing director, Roland Emmerich!! He is so amazing at conveying these messages. It is not that gory, it is more of a survival type thing where they try to keep warm and do the smartest thing to escape or survive the storm. 


After I watched this movie, I had a whole different point of view on things, it really is an eye-opener.


I would recommend it to you, but if you can't handle the thought of a disaster. I wouldn't recommend it because you may not see it, but people do die. People fall and there is a lot of freezing and violent storms.
