Mr. Poppers Penguins

Directed by Mark Waters, this comedy, family, stars Jim Carrey (Mr. Popper), Carla Gugino (Amanda) and others. The story is that Mr. Popper's father leaves in inheritance to him penguins and from there of all place they become residents of Manhattan. And since they used real penguins in this movie don't be to surprised if you see one drinking something and reading the paper on the train if you journey to New York City if they make another one of these, I say this only because believe it or not I heard they used real penguins in the film you know!! Anyhow there was nothing much bad to say about Popper and his penguins, it was a regular Hollywood story of likable characters that you want to get to know and so forth. However I do hope that Jim Carrey jumps back into characters like Loyd Christmas, Charley Baileygates and Pet Detective Ace Ventura as although his movies have been funny lately it seems to me he has not been as outrageous as before; although I am sure living with penguins must be a pretty intense lifestyle even though living in Manhattan is generally an intense lifestyle regardless. Well I just want to say in conclusion that I really do believe you should go see this movie, bring the kids because it was kind of funny and a really cute story!

X-Men: First Class

This action, adventure, drama, stars Kevin Bacon (Sebastian Shaw), James McAvoy (Charles Xavier), and others. The story is about a pack of superheros, whom also happen to have mutant abilities and who decide to team up to take on powers that are trying to orchestrate widespread destruction. Well I have to say that of all the superhero movies I have seen in the past year and beyond this one was right up there in it's level of decency. The movie essentially recounts the story of how hero's in the X-Men comics came to be like the Beast for instance and amid that you have this battle that some of these mutant do in fact decide to take on against Sebastian Shaw and the Russian Army! I believe that you will find it entertaining to watch these characters use their wide variety of unique powers to take on the loathsome Sebastian Shaw. I also believe that perhaps even if your are not into the whole superhero movie concept thing you will still find this movie to be entertaining, as something interesting seems to be constantly occurring through out. I know what you might even be thinking right now about all of this; you might even be able to talk your girlfriend into seeing this one on what's suppose to be a chic flick night right, although you will just have to explain that it probably won't be to boring, but hey don't tell her I put you up to it just in case that plan falls threw because you never know! Just kidding I will take the blame for you if you really do that because you have taken the time to read my blog about this most recent X-Men movie. Cheers until next time!

Super 8

This mystery, sci fi, thriller was directed by J.J. Abrams and stars Joel Courtney (Joe Lamb), Jessica Tuck (Mrs. Kaznyk), Ryan Lee (Cary) and others. The story is about a group of friends who are filming a zombie movie in their town and whom come to find that there are actually much stranger going on's happening all around them at the same time. I believe what this movie most has going for itself is the element of surprise, because I could not find in the previews what was the precise peculiar matter that was really effecting the town folks. It could have been anything from a killer tomato, to Lady Gaga having a nervous breakdown and wearing lamb chops on her head, as far as anybody knew it seemed, so that was cool; and of course I am not at all implying these two story lines are necessarily what it was just so you know, LOL! I do believe there is a lot to enjoy from this movie, as it was quite mysterious and had some interesting special effects. However it almost seemed by the time the movie was over this was a story bundled into a dozen or so other films from the past, so I felt it was lacking a little uniqueness, just to let you know in case you were looking for something entirely different; but other then that in my opinion it was not to bad at all. I would give Super 8 about an 8 out of 10 on the movie richter scale, but I do hope you will also take a moment to still watch the trailer below to see if it is really your thing or not! Cheers until next time!

Insidious

This movie was directed by James Wan and is a horror, thriller, starring Patrick Wilson (Josh Lambert), Rose Byrne (Renai Lambert) and others. The story is about parents who are trying to protect their son who is in a coma and has somehow evoked a realm of angry spirits that attempt to try and scare the heck out of everyone that enters their abode! I was not quite sure what to expect from this movie, well I will just say that it interestingly looked quite similar to The Exorcist to me in the trailer. But I have to say that the movie was pretty freaking scary, and I would bet it might just scare anyone from little kids to some tough motorcycle dude. It was quite the roller coaster of a thing and I found the story to be unique for it's genre and cleverly filmed were you have these moments that make you want to jump out of your seat or perhaps even your skin for some! So if your imagination is in the mood for a good scare I think you should go see this movie as it seemed to me to be a real decent horror flick and if you don't want to take my word you can always check the trailer out below, cheers.-

Rio

Rio was directed by Carlos Saldanha and stars the voices of Leslie Mann (Linda), Jesse Eisenberg (Blu) and other famous Hollywood folks! This animation, adventure, comedy is about Blu taking off to Rio to meet Jewel, another Macaw bird; and from there he comes by a wide array of characters some good and some bad, and all of whom which become part of his adventurous trip to good old Minnesota and South America! Well this movie was a cute little story and I am sure your kids will enjoy it! I can't really think much of any bad things to warn you about it as it was not to violent or something like I was told the kids movie Cars 2 supposedly was so! Although I might bet it was perhaps not quite as funny as Buzz and Woody from Toy Story or the raining spaghetti meatballs guy, but this movie was still a real amusing story with likable and goofy characters who had their own funny moments! I would have to give this movie an 8 out of 10 overall!

Jane Eyre

This movie was directed by Cary Fukunaga and is a drama, romance starring Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre), Jamie Bell (St. John Rivers) and others. The story is based on a famous book and is a intricate romance type of tale that along the way brings about different revelations. I was glad to see this movie as it is based on a famous story. That being said though I would bet perhaps that this movie was not quite as a good as the book. It seemed to me that there was all this drama and all at the same time a variety of things are happening all over the board. In other words in my opinion I think they should have focused on one thing at a time and up the amount of drama they depict amid these characters involved, like for instance I found the whole ghostly aspects of this tale to be a little out of sorts. But if you do see it and love it I am happy for you, as I know some movies mean things to people for a variety of reasons, but so far for this movie season I would say this was one of the least greatest that has been out there, but I do recommend checking out the trailer below whatever the case!

The Hangover 2

This movie was directed by Todd Phillips and is a comedy, starring Bradley Cooper (Phil), Ed Helms (Stu) Zach Galifianakis (Alan); and gosh I am glad I can just write Zack's last name here and don't have to say it! Well anyhow I was so hammered when I saw the movie that I don't remember a thing, so I will give this particular movie review a try another day. Just kidding; any who I think they might want to add an extra title in the third one for laughs like "The Hangover 3 Just Were in The Hell is Stu's Tooth This Time", I'm just saying. So the movie seemed to me to be definitely hugely funny at times judging by the audience laugh meter spygomater I keep on me when I am out looking for good movies. The movie was also a bit trashy at times as well unfortunately and the story you might see a lot of commonalities from this to the first. But I myself for some reason did not mind having similarities between the two films so far, because I believe although some aspects from certain scenes were familiar from before, but the humor was still viable and creative this time to. Well finally to make this easier for the both of us at this point because I am running low on blog space here and more importantly because certainly I would never want to strain any ones eyes with a mega review, I would recommend this comedy if you don't mind a dumb and dumber genre type of replica and if you are ready to chuckle rather hard. So certainly I would not just rule out this movie at all this summer when buying a ticket as it strengh is that I found it to be surely one of the most enjoyably, silly and highly crazy, funny movies in theaters right now for the the month of June.
