Movie Reviews

Hello beautiful readers. I'm Shay the master of all things movies new and old ...but not subtitled, kung foo, porn, or those God aweful American Pie movie types...lol basically I review movies that i want to see. If that happens to be a movie you are wanting to see AWESOME my review may help. If not well read anyway :)  Happy movie going People





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SANCTUM 3D
I just watched Sanctum in 3D. To be honest i know it would have lost my interest about the first 3 minutes in. The dialog consisted of a lot of colorful words that were saying very little. Come on who wrote that. Get past the f word and the other cuss words and use real words. Aside from that as the story went on it caught my attention mainly because it harbors two fears of mine tiny confined rocked in no way out cave spaces and water...water set with tiny cavern spaces. The movie progressed and i found myself gasping or jumping in a thrill of suspense. Go see it...in 3D is so much more interesting.

The Dilemma 
With an awesome cast i thought this movie may have been a bit better. The story was the age old question do you tell your best friend his wife is cheating or do you keep quiet because a huge deal is at stake? Well this movie really had some funny parts in it and then again it had an equal amount of drawn out parts. I would put this movie in the category of a man flick (like a chick flick but for a man.) So being that there is some nudity, language, and sexual themes i would recommend this for adults only.

Black Swan
I have never scene the actual Black Swan i have a feeling chacovski (k i can't spell) would roll over in his grave right now. I am almost embarressed to say i saw this movie, but there i was me and my HETERO -lifemate sitting in a thearter with some old couples awkwardly stareing at the wall trying not to look directly at the obscene images on the screen. I really would not reccomend this movie. While the actual dancing part of the movie was fun to watch the rest of it lacked ....it just lacked.

Tangled
A timeless fairy tale retold in a very endearing and funny way. A scoundrel a lost princess a wicked women and a mute iguana and dog like warrior horse come together to make up a beautifully woven hysterically told and safe for the whole family tale. Unexpected twists keep you guessing and i still can't get over how much i laughed.
I loved this movie lol i will never look at another frying pan the same again. The characters were engaging and the animal characters were hysterical. This fairy tale was amazingly and creatively recreated and i would recommend it for the whole family.
We saw this movie in 3D it was worth the extra money to see it this way. So load up take the family for a fun evening of laughs and maybe alittle tears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unstoppable
A runaway train carrying highly explosive material barrels down the track unmanned. This one kept me on the edge of my seat. High paced from the time the movie begins you can't fight the urge to tense cringe and yell at the screen. I would not recommend this to children simple because it woulds not interest them but older teens to adults will find this movie thrilling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ECLIPES!!!!

can you say awesome! The video and photos from the ocala midnight primere will be posted soon. In the mean time i give this movie a 4 and a 1/2 star review out of 5stars that half a point come off when you look at how they did NOT show the wonderful bonding moment between Seth and Edward after the fight, and Hello Bella actually cut herself not in the book but i have to say that this MOVIE stayed closer to the book excellent job new director. So tell me what was your favorite part of this movie?

My favorite part was when Bella decked Jacob that was so perfect and they captured a new light to Jacob...

Vampires Suck!!!
No that's not my thoughts that's the name of the latest movie I have watched. While I would not take my 10 yr old daughter to see it I thought this movie was funny in a vary stupid way lol. They could have taken this parody to a very bad place but they Kept it with in reason for adults and older teens. If u haven't had a chance to see this movie pls go see it however expect to see a movie that leaves u feeling dumber for having watched it. Spoiler alert .... My favorite two parts yes count them two lol was the wolf pack dancing and lip singing to it's raining men and the fight between aro and Edward at the prom they pick a perfect guy to play aro he is funny. Well that's what I have for the time being enjoy

INCEPTION
Incepton I give this movie 9 fingers out of 10 lol u can't go wrong when u have an awesome movie about the wonderful enchanting and just plan cool setting of dreams. I loved the acting they did great with casting Leonardo has made a great come back. I would recommend thismovie and what I love the most is the movie has substance it doesn't rely on sex to carry the movie intact they have NO sex sences which amps up this movie in my book
