[MOVIE REVIEW] Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014)

5 stars rating alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day comedy film comedy movie disney movie Dylan Minnette Jennifer Garner movie review review Steve Carell

NO SPOILERS

Today I will be reviewing a super fun comedy movie based on Judith Viorst's children's book of the same name: Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Yep.

Here's the trailer :

The movie is about a 11-year-old boy, Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould), who always seems to have horrible days while the rest of his family are succeeding at their lives.

In the morning of his twelfth birthday, while everyone is asleep, he makes himself a little birthday cupcake and thinks how he would like if the rest of his family were to have a terrible day, so they'd understand what his everyday felt like. And his wish comes true turning that day into a complete disaster.

I had so much fun watching this movie. It's just that innocent fun type of movie, totally safe to watch it with your family.

The actors were just perfect for this, which is something very important to me. It has the participation of Jennifer Garner (Alias) as Alexander's mother, Steve Carell (The 40-year-old Virgin) as his father, Dylan Minnette (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; Scandal) as his older brother and Kerris Dorsey as the older sister.

They just don't make movies like this so frequently anymore, so I definitely, definitely recommend it!

[MOVIE REVIEW] Two Night Stand (2014)

[MOVIE REVIEW] Two Night Stand (2014)

5 stars rating analeigh tipton comedy movie miles teller movie review review romantic comedy movie

MODERATE SPOILERS

Today I was feeling like watching a romantic comedy and came across the movie Two Night Stand, with Miles Teller (The Spectacular Now; Divergent; Project X) and Analeigh Tipton (Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model; Warm Bodies) and I was like: yes!

So this is the movie I'll be reviewing this time! - If it wasn't clear already.

 

Now is it me or trailers these days just tells you everything about a movie? I'm telling you, I NEVER watch an entire trailer before watching a movie because it spoils the whole experience of being surprised by it!

But if you're one of those people who likes watching them, then here's it is :

So the movie is about an unemployed single girl called Megan (Analeigh Tipton), who lives with her not-so-happy-about-it-friend, Faiza (Jessica Szohr), and decides to try online dating.

After trying to get into a club with Faiza and her boyfriend and not being able to because she misplaced her ID, she ran into her ex-fiance and his new girl, and now she sees herself at the rock bottom.

That night she decides to have, for the first time, a one night stand with someone from the dating site, who turns out to be a guy named Alec (Miles Teller).

Unfortunately in the next morning as she tries to leave his place, she realizes she can 't because of a huge blizzard, turning the one night stand into two.

This movie was really fun. I believe the scenario they're in, relationship wise, is very relatable to a lot of people, which is something nice in a romantic comedy.

They were perfect for the role of young people who are just starting their lives, still figuring it out.

Is it just me or Miles Teller looks a lot younger than his actual age, which is 27? Well, congratulations to him.

For me there just wasn't a downside to this movie and it didn't leave anything to be desired, so yes I do recommend it!

Go check it out!

[MOVIE REVIEW] Vice (2015)

[MOVIE REVIEW] Vice (2015)

4.5 stars rating action movie Bruce Willis dystopian movie movie review review science fiction movie VICE

NO SPOILERS

I'm here bringing you guys another sci-fi movie that has the awesome participation of Bruce Willis: Vice.

Here's the trailer :

   

The main subject of the movie is a sort of resort called VICE, designed by Julian Michaels (Bruce Willis), where the clients can do anything they want, play out all their wildest fantasies to artificial inhabitants, the residents, who feels and looks completely human and have absolutely no idea that their lives are programmed so they always have the exact same planned day.

The movie is sort of Gamer (2009) meets The Island (2005), and have the main focus not on the clients who do despicable things in this separated world, but on the life the A.I.s have.

I really liked this movie, it was very entertaining and easy to watch. The plot is quite common, people have been doing this kind of "escape-from-dystopia" films for a while, so it's not something new, but is still very fun to watch.

The only thing I didn't like was seeing Bruce Willis as the bad guy instead of the good one. But oh well, what you gonna do right.

[MOVIE REVIEW] Before I Go To Sleep (2014)

[MOVIE REVIEW] Before I Go To Sleep (2014)

4 stars rating Colin Firth drama movie Mark Strong movie review mystery movie Nicole Kidman review S.J. Watson suspense movie thriller movie

NO SPOILERS

So I wanted to review a movie this time, and I chose a recent-ish one, because there's not much point to reviewing movies like Titanic and Twilight - yes, two very very different movies, but I'm guessing everyone knows those two, lol.

  

With that said, I'll be reviewing Before I Go to Sleep, a mystery thriller film based on S.J. Watson's novel with the same title. Unfortunately I haven't read the book so I can't do a comparison for you guys.

If you haven't read the book and likes to be surprised about a movie, I advice you not to watch the trailer, because it is a MAJOR spoiler. But if you don't want to hear me then go right ahead, no resentments just a little :

The movie is about a woman called Christine Lucas, who wakes up every morning without knowing anything about her current life. And everyday her husband, Ben, tells her that she had an accident ten years ago and has been suffering from amnesia ever since.

Every morning Christine gets a call from a neurologist who's helping her, without her husband's knowledge, to figure out what really happened, since she is the only one who knows.

This movie reminds me of a dark version of 50 First Dates, which makes me love it even more.

Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth are really amazing actors and I think they were just perfect for this story. They have you believing in them the entire time.

Like I said, I haven't read the book so I don't know how that goes, but I felt like the movie deserved a better ending - even though I still did shed a few tears.

I can't say much more without spoiling the movie for you, so I'll leave you with that. I would recommend it because it has an amazing cast and the plot is good, but I have the feeling that the novel is probably better, and I'll be checking that out soon maybe because it made me very curious.

If you have a movie, book or tv show you want me to check it out, please let me know.

Leave a comment if you have suggestions, compliments or complaints. Your opinion is really important to me.

Thank you and I'll see in my next review, xo

[MOVIE REVIEW] Lucy (2014)

[MOVIE REVIEW] Lucy (2014)

4.5 stars rating action movie Lucy movie review Scarlett Johansson science fiction movie

NO SPOILERS

So today I'm here to review the new well,from 2014 Scarlett Johansson movie called Lucy.

Here's the trailer :

    

Now, this movie is not for everyone. It will not please a lot of people. At first it just looks like an awsome woman who gets superpowers and kicks everyones ass, and that's not exactly accurate.

Basically, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) is used as a drug mule, and have a package inserted inside of her stomach. She gets beaten up, and the package opens inside of her putting her in direct contact with the drug. This drug is basically a synthetic CPH4, which is naturally produced during pregnancy to accelerate brain activation. Since she is exposed to a lot of that, her brain capacity starts to expand - the human brain works at 10% of it's full potential - until it reaches, by the end of the movie, 100%.

I found this movie to be incredibly interesting, but you've got to like these kind of plots, that has you thinking on your own about what the facts there presented actually means.

So I understand why a lot of people were not happy with how this movie turned out to be, just because most of us thought it would be way different - more "superficial". And that is what I thought at first as well, but I ended up loving it even more, for going beyond that.

I wouldn't recommend this to everyone, because, like I said, it gets you interpreting the entire time. Some might find it to be interesting, while others, offensive. What I can say is that if you like movies like that, you will like this one. Maybe not as much as I did, but still. Lets not forget Scarlett, who makes the movie half amazing just for being in it. :)
