I saw this movie yesterday in theaters and it was actually really good. I liked how through out the whole movie it linked to the original Wizard of Oz movie.  The movie did have a bit of a slow beginning and I wasn't to sure how things were going to work out. James Franco's character was a little strange because he would meet a girl and immediately fall in love in swear to protect her. But I really liked how you got to see a whole new side of Oz with all the neat people that live there and the animals that exist. The part that I found really interesting is how the movie led up to the original Wizard of Oz movie and I could pick out which character's would be reintroduced and everything. The movie definitely wasn't any academy award winning film, but it was just a fun movie to watch.

I would give this movie a 7.5 / 10

I finally watched this movie! So many people have quoted lines and I've seen a bunch of parody accounts on twitter. And now I can join in! It was really funny and had some extremely random scenes that were hilarious. The movie didn't have much dialogue but still had a easy plot to follow. The only bad thing is that I am now wishing that I could sing. Throughout the whole movie I was trying to sing along except I sound like a walrus! Pitch Perfect was a feel good movie. It made you always happy and didn't have those depressing scenes that ruin the movie. Overall it was an awesome movie night choice and I am definitely going to watch it again because I know all the songs now!

I rate this movie a  8 / 10

I am a huge fan of the book trilogy so obviously I was extremely overwhelmed about the first movie. The Hunger Games was the first movie that I read the book before seeing the movie so it was pretty awesome watching it on the big screen. The director (Gary Ross) did a pretty good job trying to make sure the movie was as similar as possible to the book. There was one thing that Gary changed that I didn't like. He made the Cornucopia jet black even though they specifically identify the Cornucopia to be shiny and golden in the book. Other than that it was pretty well made. I guess there was a few little scenes cut out but the director only has around 2 hours to explain the whole book. I watched the behind-the-scenes of the movie and I was pleased to find out that they had Susanne Collins (the author of the trilogy) behind set making sure that they stayed connected to the book. I've watched this movie plenty of time and will certainly watch it more in the future. I am overly excited about the second movie Catching Fire that will be coming out November this year!

Of course I will rate the movie 10 / 10

This movie was a big hit when it came out to theaters. People were calling it "the female version of Hangover". Personally, when I did finally decide to watch the movie when it came out on DVD, I really didn't find it that good. Yes I have to agree that Megan (the bigger lady) did have some hilarious scenes, but for the most part I found the movie depressing. The main character Annie was constantly trying to make her best friend happy and appreciate her affection to help. Except everything that could go wrong did and Annie was left looking like the crummy person. I couldn't help to feel bad for her and I wasn't able to enjoy most of the movie. It was a slow pace movie that got kind of boring during some scenes. I would probably give Bridesmaids another chance and watch it again, but I feel like I'm just leading myself up for disappointment.

Overall I would rate this movie a  5 / 10

First off I'd like to mention that I hate all Tim Burton movie! They are all creepy and messed up and just not normal. I refuse to watch any of his movies but was dared to watch this one. I don't understand how this movie is for kids! The strange stop motion animation and the sad and dark colours just make it unbearable for me. This movie is not normal at all with the whole concept of the creepy second dimension mom of Coraline trying to sew buttons onto her eyes. Ever since a kid, I hated Tim Burton style movies. I think it runs in the family because no one in my house enjoys one of his movies and always gets chills seeing a preview of the movies. They are simply just true nightmares brought to life! I recommend to burn, bury, or destroy any movies by Tim Burton that may be in your house. They are not meant for kids, teenagers, nor adults! I am getting spooked out thinking about the movie. I just pray that Tim Burton stops making creepy movies and that I can have nightmare free dreams for the rest of my life!

This movie deserves a  0 / 10  I would rate it lower if it was possible!

This was such a wonderful and breath taking movie and had a strong story line from start to finish. The movie is based on a book written by Yann Martel and was brought to reality by Ang Lee. I didn't read the book before seeing the film but I still understood the whole concept. The way that the director me feel the same emotions for the boy in the movie was quiet impressive. I was talking to a friend who hadn't seen Life of Pi and he asked me how could that movie be any good? It's just an Indian boy and a tiger on a boat! And he is correct. But it's the bizarre storyline and the constant wonder about how this boy is going to survive that makes it a great movie. Also, there were a couple of scenes that truly made your jaw drop and wish you were actually there to witness natures beauty. The final scene of the movie has a big plot twist that leaves you pondering about the truth and certainly sets up a discussion for after the movie. If you go into the movie knowing that it's no Die Hard movie with a million explosions and gunfire, then I am certain that you enjoy every minute of the film.

This movie deserves a  9 / 10


    These are just my opinions on movies. Most likely everyone thinks differently and may agree or disagree with my thoughts. I'd be happy to read other point of views and opinions that you might have on  a movie I reviewed.

    Review Intro

    I had trouble at first trying to decide what topic to base my blog on. And then I thought to myself; what do I spend a lot of my time doing? Answer: Watching movies! I love all sorts of movie genres, action, comedy, fantasy, but my favourite type of movie is horror. I enjoy the thrill and rush of a horror movie especially when something jumps out unexpectedly,  which is the part that most people strongly hate. But everyone is different!
    After finishing a movie, I either liked it a lot or hated it. Most of the time I like the movies I watched but sometimes there are just some terrible movies.

    So here is my critic/review on some of the movies that I have watched in the past!

    I will rated each movie on a scale of 1 to 10
