Afternoon Tea (2011)
Cultural Bias
Lets say the culture of European descent is referred to "white culture". I have seen much more racism from white culture, and dis-owner ship of family for much lesser traits and accusations in "white culture", the peasantry and child slave labor of the English, disowning family was rampant in the 19 centuries in white culture, you have forgotten that women only got the vote in 1920. To have this blame others culture, since we do the same is indoctrination, and hate speech itself if you want to know about a culture get to know the person and then a good representation of it. this is a propaganda film, of I am holier than thou, because you think you are holier than "I". whose calling who out and who actually think whom is better than the other due to relative and distinguishable dysfunction?? On the whole I cannot respect a "prop" film and simple representation of a culture through as such, a "Propaganda" film. the so called "white culture" is equally and highly dysfunctional, it depends on the spin put on it by the director. An example could even be CSI or and crime drama, about murder and espionage, but no that is dramatized differently. With a totally different spin. That concept is Highly, Highly dysfunctional, yet it is not given media and or even on the news. If there was a gang rape in America it doesn't have that effect, or lets use the Viking pillagers raping everything that breathed, yet the so called white culture is not degraded, there is rape in India and the whole country is justified to be full of rapists !! get out of here with that media indoctrination.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
I loved it... Just like i Loved the Transformers as a Kid.
I went to the theater to go watch a TRANSFORMERS Movie!!! and that is what I got, that and an action movie. If you are not watching this movie for the Action genre don't watch it. Blaring plot holes aside that let you use your own imagination, this movie was like the most thrilling ride at the amusement park. Fun, fast, and leaving you exhilarated.
The 3D was pretty good too on this movie. Good 3D, highest level of Action I've probably ever seen in while, long in duration, is well worth the popcorn action movie you pay for. Much, much better than other movies that leave you disappointed when spending your money.
This movie was a throwback in scale to the 90s, and I loved it and if you are a full blooded guy who keeping the inner kid alive. Go watch it !! Highly recommend for everyone !! Not recommended for people who go into a transformer movie for the story and emotion.
Immortals (2011)
Amazing Movie Finally Got a Watch. Recommend a Home Theater Screening
This movie I sat down to watch years before but got extremely bored of the Setting, the Main Character (Henry Cavill), the Old Man, and Even Stephen Dorff (from Vampire Fame), the Oracle, and even the Casting of the Gods.
Little did I know that half a movie watched does not make a Movie be. Watched the Rest from the beginning in a Home theater setting, and was Blown Away from some of the spectacle I saw. It COMES Together Soooo Well. Every thing hits, Everything, Rourke does his part, Superman shows is Fire, the Gods... Oh the Gods !! Will not disappoint, if you saw the New X-men : days of future forgotten (I would give it a zero if I could), do you remember the awe inspiring slow mo scene, yeah well they kind copied it from this film.
The depiction of Evil of days past gives the goose pimples, Rourke oh wow does he complete the part with his ethereal grumble voice. The fiery performance was from Cavill comes to bear fruit, Pinto does her part and becomes more beautiful throughout, the Narorators character voice makes a for a warm spot, laying out great bits of Soul inspiring knowledge.
This is the first movie in a very loooong time that doesn't flutter in the fourth quarter. this was one movie in a long time that truly, Climaxes. Amazing 3rd and 4th quarter segment of a movie. I personally was blown away, an its been one of the few movies that actually hit home with me, and has had that inspirational feeling on me. I should have watched in the theater, but I think this movie has the unfortunate problem of timing, if it had been released a little later it may have been praised much more.
I Hiiighly, Highly RECOMMEND that you WATCH this Movie. Especially in a Home theater setting with the lights low and popcorn !! A++++
How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014)
From Me to You !!
From a Full on Cynic, that would give the new X-men movie a Zero if I could, and a 4/10 to the conclusion to the batman trilogy, the Dark Knight, I will say this is a must watch for both adults and children alike. It had a lot of Adult story lines to it and was thoroughly entertaining for adults and children will be able to understand the passionate storyline as well as the heartwarming story.
It had heart jerking moments, action, and a rather unpredictable storyline, which makes for one amazing movie. Please watch this !! Side note: the 3D was one the best in recent history. Put this on the list of movies to watch in 3D. I will probably never watch a unanimated flick in gimmicky 3D anymore.
Please Watch this ! 10/10
Vanilla Sky (2001)
Heavenly for Love & Lovers & those whose Heart has ever bled
Firstly if you have never been in Love, I will definitely say you may not find this story close to heart. But if you have Loved and especially lost, you will appreciate the acting and the loving smirks of affection portrayed in this movie.
It plays like a Shakespearian tragedy and is spell bounding for the young at Heart, by that, I mean those with hearts looking for love. It an amazingly interesting movie for the time it was released and may have been the first to inspire todays cross genre/time travel type movies that are a staple in every movie today. I remember watching this in the movie theater and was blown away. And had the DVD being blown away every time.
Tom Cruise gives a great performance, Penélope Cruz was at her best in this, Cameron Diaz almost shatters her career as becoming the ultimate scorned woman. But also shows a bit of range slightly. Greatly directed, and Suspenseful, great for positive minded intellectuals and a great popcorn flick to watch with the girlfriend.
Please watch once in your lifetime, highly recommended
Gattaca (1997)
Gattaca. A World Apart, A World So Close,
This Movie is a Must Watch. I takes real world hierarchical system and delves into what is and what can be. Using one Idea to Represent Another. Detachment, Love, the Spirit, beautiful Dreams, Loss, Emotion, Complicated family relations, Spirituality, and just being Human. Still brings tears to my eyes and then some taking something new every watch.
I remember watching this in the 90s and it was amazing then and now just as amazing, seeing young actors act such brilliance of emotion. Uma Thurmun is gorgeous as ever and I wish I could have encapsulated that beauty to make a clone. Ethan Hawke is the riveting and the one to analyze. Jude Law shows the early signs of brilliance that will become of him.
Just an amazing movie looking at a deprived future, that actually had us wondering will this come to pass.
13 Sins (2014)
Definitely Worth a watch.
Firstly I would recommend this movie. The Acting is very good. Its a new age Final Destination, that has good pacing. I would recommend an evening watch with the girlfriend to creep her out or something.
It has that conspiracy storyline as such, which makes it interesting. Pearlman does pretty good job as little as his screen time, but its the type of movie where you are watching a disaster unfold in slow Mo type thing.
But watch if you are into horror genre and want to watch an original type move, but I am sure as far as cinema goes there will be similarities to other movies through out time like the 70s, 80s.
Recommend a watch as a throw back made modern.
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
BAD Movie. Do Not Watch Paying Full Price or in 3D !!
Simple review of a person who went to the comic book stores since the early 90s.
Do Not WASTE Your Money On This Especially in 3D !!!!
List of Reasons this was barely bearable to watch:
- Absolutely Bad Action - Moved like a Drama on Late night (waaay too much dialogue) - Action sequences were not worth $15+ admission prices - Absolutely no character build-up; in a marvel universe where character build-up can be used to enhance the movie experience as a whole. - Very weak use of powers. yea magneto and Raven: Yay for the win, not !! - disjointed character action, people doing things based on a compelling comic series, chopped to bit-scenes, lame - the sentinels look like students did the cgi(even ravens cgi was bad) - useless stretched out conversational scenes, WAAAAY TOOOO LONG (found me dosing off into my own mind wondering "What the hell are they talking about",get back to the action)
Comparatively does not even hold a candle to the Original X-men Prequel. this was stale movie and i'm mad and wanting my money back. the only thing I will take from this is whoa that was worse compared to the trilogy, and the prequel. maybe worst than the wolverine spin offs.
Conclusion: the story was all there (as its all in the comic), but the execution, the execution was a total fecal matter. I think the people in the credits probably all signed in to IMDb on multiple accounts and leave reviews, with more compelling literature that the movie script itself.
the only thing that actually hit a nerve was the talk between the old and new Charles Xavier, and oddly was very intrigued by the development of Stryker, everything else was very weak, even wolverines cgi arms or make-up couldn't lift this movie. boy this failed to deliver something that could have been amazing, miscasting, odd character emphasis, Fassbinder couldn't save this sinking ship, ice-man still was bad especially in this one, I still cant help but love captain Piccard as Professor X. everything else is beyond dis-heartening and not worth watching. Do not waste your time or money watch it at home or on cheap day !! -
