22 Jump Street -10/10




Loved it! Funnier than the first, and I like the way they show their "support" on same sex marriage in a subliminal way, or at least not as noticeable. I guess a bad movie can have a good subliminal message, right?

The Outlaw Josey Wales
All Time: 6-10
Western: 8-10
Clint Eastwood Movies: 10-10

I think this is one of Clint's best movies ever. Clint himself even said so.

Wow.... This lil thread of mine has gotten pretty popular!l

World War Z - 4/5

Better and more well thought out than most other zombie movies. Fresh take on the genre.

Star Trek: Into Darkness - 3.5/5

Love the new flicks, and of course who doesn't love some Khan action? Can't wait for the third one.

Guardians of the Galaxy: 4.5/5


Awesome movie!!! Loved it. I semi-reviewed it here.

(Welp, gotta write this a second time because the page went back on my by accident and I lost all the progress So Just gonna paraphrase it.)

TMNT; 8.9/10

Great humor, great turtles, probably the best rendition of the turtles we've seen in a decade. Only complaints are that Shredder has gone all Iron-Man, and that the Foot use guns.


Into the Storm; 1/10

Snoozefest. Take Twister, and add multiple fleshed out, uninteresting stories that have almost nothing to do with the actual main plot. And rednecks.

Spoiler for Hidden:

It doesn't help that no one actually really dies minus a few people. Even the dumb rednecks survive, and they get *sucked up into the tornado and tossed around.*

Puss in Boots: 3.5/5


Never really liked the Shrek movies much, but I loved this spin-off.

Guardians of the Galaxy  9.5 / 10


I loved it! It had a great sense of direction, good character developement, and a pleasing relationship between the characters and the story. IMHO, I got confused yet angered at the fact that the beginning didn't seem to add up.
I couldn't find the conection between when he was a kid and when he was an adult. That scene when he was a kid kinda bothered me. Anyways, the relationship between the characters is pretty well done, I mean Drax and Gamora NEVER really get along, and Star Lord and Gamora don't have a real close relationship. Everyone in the movie is strictly friends and I really like that about the movie. But my favorite character of all is why I rated the movie so well. Rocket "Raccoon". A halfling from another planet, but in the movie he has a completely different backstory which angered me a bit, but the movie's backstory and Marvel vs Capcom's backstory could all be part of Rocket raccoon. What also bothered me was how the Nova force was in the movie but Captain Nova apparently didn't exist.
Unless he has a seperat comic or storyline, I hink he should've been in the movie. Another setback was Thanos, he had absolutlely no purpose. (IMO) I honestly wanted to hate the movie after the Romance scene, but it was funny how it ended and I felt better about this movie. All in all, I loved every bit of it! One more thing.. Groot is Vin Diesel!

Giver 10/10 my favorite movie in 2014

TMNT 7/10 because April doesn't have red hair or a yellow jumpsuit in this movie. Also a severe lack of the 80s nascent. Also no world destructive floppy disks or mutant shredder sidekicks.

Guardians of the Galaxy 8/10 I was expecting something more and the somewhat extreme changes to Groot's appearance from the comic books.

Malificent 7/10 Good movie, but not great. What the hell happened to your infamy Disney? Kingdom Hearts 3 will never come now.

Tammy 1/10 Terrible in every which way of the imagination, I didn't go to see it by choice either.

Guardians of the Galaxy: 9/10
- Way better than I thought it would be. I have no complaints, only giggles -

Lucy: 6/10
- Way worse than I thought it would be. I was very disappointed. -

Edge of Tomorrow: 4/10
- The storyline, the special effects, it was all mediocre. -

Transformers (newest one): 8/10
- I had no idea I would like this as much as I did and almost didn't go -

SPOILER ALERT

Spoiler for Hidden:

The connection comes at the very end. I have no idea what any of their names were and didn't read any of the comics, so hate me all you want but I'll try and call it as I saw it. Bear with me.
The lead of the scavengers said to Star-Lord in the very end (when he was leaving with the empty orb) that he was glad he didn't return Star-Lord to his father like he was supposed to. This goes along with some other hints that came a bit earlier including that fact that Star-Lord was actually the child of two different races, his father being one of an ancient race - the reason he was able to hold the stone for so long without being killed. So to conclude - when he was abducted, he was supposed to be brought to his father, but they kept him to use him.

What's there not to get about the beginning? The movie is pretty clear about showing the connection with the music mix tapes his mom made for him that he carried with him and listened to his whole life. They also showed how his mom more or less dubbed him with the name Star Lord with her speech to him, calling him her little star lord. Kona covered the rest in the post above. It was more or less to establish an emotional connection between the audience and Star Lords personality and such. Seems pretty clear what the connection was. Not sure how that escaped you.


As far as Thanos, I believe they are setting him up to have a bigger role in the sequel which is already confirmed. I think the reason they teased his appearance in this movie is because he was originally set to be the main villain in The Avengers 2 until they changed it, as one of the extra scenes at the end of the credits of The Avengers showed Thanos briefly turn his head and scoff. They wanted to give the fans a small taste of the mighty Thanos before he enters a major villainous role. His brief connection to Ronin afforded that nicely.


Vin Diesel as Groot is underwhelming at best considering he only said one sentence over and over really. I am not sure if he did all the movements in the film as Groot and they layered him with Groot's CGI, but either way, and IMO, Bradley Cooper out shined Vin with his performance as Rocket. Of course I am a bit biased as I think Diesel is a horrible actor. Me and Daniel Tosh agree on ol' Vin!


What was wrong with the romance scene? I never understand why so many people hate romance scenes to showcase emotion and connection. It's not like they spent half the movie being kissy kissy, now THAT would be annoying.




Dolphin Tale - 4.5/5


Love this movie. Winter is adorable. Can't wait for the second one to come out next month.

Awesome story and I love animals, so yeah.

Dragon Ball Z Battle of the Gods 8.5 / 10
I saw both english & japanese versions, both are funny.


Mishimi, I was being a bit vague so I wouldn't ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet..
but anyways, I understood the beginning after he read the note. It's the abduction I didn't understand, maybe because I didn't read the comic.
The Romance thing was fine honestly, I just feel it ruins the mood of the movie, especially a high action butt kicking group of people.
I almost laughed / felt relieved when she almost killed him for trying. The beginning was the saddest part for me. Why Star Lord, Why?
Thanks Kona!

Guardians of the Galaxy: 8/10

  It's a good movie, full of interesting characters and is an unexpected twist of the Marvel universe. It's not just Avengers in space and is generally more funny than the average other marvel movies. At the end of the day I could it see it as good, it wasn't quite a movie that blew me away with it's amazingness, but it definitely entertained without any second of boredom, something I've come to expect from Marvel movies. Though, I dunno, there seems to be a formula that still is moving around with Marvel films, to me Guardians was "just another marvel film", which is an amazing experience, but not quite one to stand out in some way. I suppose it's just "awesome" and "funny", it's entertaining but won't leave you thinking or anything, it's just a fun ride, but a very, very good ride at that.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: 8.1/10

  I actually liked this movie slightly more than the Guardians movie, I suppose perhaps I came in with lesser expectations and so was more surprised. This movie garners a very interesting plot, it still shadows the feel of racial minorities in the world and gives quite a cool sub-text for the genre. What I REALLY liked about this particular movie is that the moral side of "apes vs humans" are blurred. Like there are good humans who want peace and bad humans who want war, at the same time there are good apes who want peace and bad apes who want war, no side is inherently good and none is inherently bad, which was refreshing to see as most movies (including the aforementioned Guardians) will have an "evil" side that's just evil (Yes some of the good guys were a bit blurred in the movie, but I think in general most were good, they were anti-heroes but still heroes). All the characters motivations for what they did seem good and believable, the animation is superb and the whole story is basically building up for this big final confrontation, which doesn't disappoint in it's epicness. Some say the apes look too human, but I feel that's forgivable considering we're supposed to sympathize with both the humans and the apes. It was a great movie over all.

I just feel it ruins the mood of the movie

Yeah, half a minute of a romantic scene really ruins the mood of the whole other 90+ minutes of the film. lol




Sin City: A Dame to Kill For: 4/5


Better than the first one IMO.
