Kingsman: The Secret Service

Movie Review: Kingsman: The Secret Service

Plot: A secret agent teaches a teenager how to be a spy, so that he can save the world from Valentine.


This movie is awesome!!! Matthew Vaughn is one of my favorite directors. He directed First Class, as well as Kick-Ass, and here he does another bloody violent film.

I am not going to spoil this film for you.... however, my favorite scene would have to be at the church.


Go see this one:


My Grade: A+

Jupiter Ascending

Movie Review: Jupiter Ascending

Plot: A man has to protect a woman who is in line to own Earth's land.

I was interested in this film because it is directed by the same people who made the three Matrix films. The best way to describe this film is to compare to: Star Wars: Phantom Menace: This movie has a whole bunch of unimportant dialogue about inheritances and land and what will happen if a certain character does a certain action. The two main characters are good, but they are overshadowed by the terrible over dramatic villain.


It isn't terrible, there is just nothing here.

My grade:

C-

Project Almanac

Plot: Time Travel Movie in which teenagers travel back in time to make stupid life choices.


I don't mind time machines. I don't mind time travel films. In fact Terminator 2 is one of my favorite films ever, but this was:


STUPID

No plot in the entire movie.

Just time travel to go to a party.



This movie gets a grade of;

D: (Time travel is cool, only reason it doesn't get an F.)

American Sniper

American Sniper is Hollywood's latest biographical film about Chris Kyle. A lot of the films in this genre tend to have Hollywood influenced traits to make a movie. The studio will enhance certain traits of the person's life in order to make a engaging story.

This is the opposite: This is very grounded, real and factual, not glamorized in any way.... Bradley Cooper's best movie to date.


I absolutely loved this film, definitely worth the considerable awards mentions...

My Grade:
A+

Movie Reviews Marathon

After months of not getting to do reviews, I finally am back to posting regular reviews of movies.

This will be brief: I have seen 10+ films since November and will provide a brief review of each one.

Mockingjay Part I: Good movie, that makes you want to see Part II, but the first two movies were better.

Interstellar: Big Grand Space Epic with a long runtime, but that doesn't even matter, because I really liked the film.

Fury: Gory restrained film that had some of the most realistic action scenes of 2014.

Taken III: Good, but basically the same movie done three times.

Big Hero 6: One of my favorite animated films in recent memory. Loved it. Possibly the most fun kids movie of the year.

Blackhat: Hacking Thriller that does what it needs to do to be a good movie.

The Wedding Ringer: Kevin Hart's new film that is rated R, that is the humor in the film.


Below is a clip from Big Hero 6 as well as Fury:

Thanks to my regular viewers of this site.

Gone Girl

Plot: A woman disappears under strange circumstances, prompting questioning.


This movie is not an action movie. It is a mystery thriller drama. Not a lot of action, instead we get an engaging movie that I absolutely loved. I won't get into much detail, as I feel like that spoils some of the film.


My Grade: A

John Wick

Plot: A man wants revenge against the killers of his wife's final gift to him.

I loved this movie. Keanu Reeves best movie since The Matrix Trilogy in my opinion. The movie is simple, but is a lot of fun, and has one of my favorite action scenes of the year.

My Grade: A
