Up (2009)

Okay, first of all, let me start off by saying that whenever I asked a person how this movie was they said, almost every single person, "good, but sad." And that's exactly what it is. The opening scene was really upsetting, I couldn't contain myself. Tears were flowing out of my face like a fountain. However, at the same time, certain scenes and phrases would make laugh so hard. SQUIRREL. But then, they had to go right back to another sad scene. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that it was too sad to be a little kid's movie. I mean, if I were a five year old child, I wouldn't want to watch a movie where I cry more than half of the time. I was crying more than I was laughing, and that shouldn't happen for a Disney/Pixar movie. My mother enjoyed it, and so did my sister and I, I just feel like it was in the wrong genre. Just because a movie is animated, doesn't mean that it's automatically directed towards younger kids. Of course, many probably enjoyed it. Personally, I liked it. It could have done without all of the sad parts, but then again, that's what made the movie.

When Harry Met Sally (1989)

I watched this movie last night, and I must say that it was incredibly adorable. It was wonderful how they started off hating each other, then went from that to friends, then eventually fell in love. Of course, I saw that coming, but who didn't? Considering that that's what the entire story was about, was how he was in love with her basically from when he met her. The scene with her faking an orgasm was weird, but incredibly hilarious. "I'll have what she's having," so great. My favorite part of the whole movie was at the end, when they were telling their story. I nearly started crying, it was so cute. All of those old couples made me so happy. I know it's kind of an old movie, but it was still good. And the odd thing is that I loved it so much, and the lead guy wasn't even that attractive!

Defiance (2008)

Okay, so I originally only watched this movie because Jamie Bell was in it. I didn't even know what it was about until I got it in the mail from Blockbuster. When I learned that it was about Jews and Germans, I was a little upset. I don't really like those kinds of war movies where the person killed every other minute. But this was different than every other Holocaust movie that I've seen. It wasn't about the camps, but some completely different group of people living on their own in the woods. It was actually pretty interesting. Also, I was pretty damn happy when I thought that Jamie Bell died, and then he came back to the forest, considering the fact that he was the reason I was watching the movie in the first place. The only thing that I wished that didn't do was put in the little bits of information in before the end credits rolled. I would have been so much happier if I didn't know that Jamie Bell's character hadn't "died six months later." If I wanted to know that, I would have looked it up. But besides from that, I was just glad that the actual movie portion ended well. They escaped, they were free, and tens of thousands of the ancestors of these people still exist to this day. That was a good thing to say. So all in all, this was a pretty good film.

Inception (2010)

So finally, I have seen this. I feel as if everybody else in my world saw it before I did. People kept telling me "oh, it's so good" and "you haven't seen it yet! you have to watch it." I've wanted to, but I never got around to it, and now I have. So hear are my thoughts: at first, I was trying to follow every little detail so that I wouldn't get confused, then things kept on jumping all over the place. So instead of focusing on specifics, I focused on the general idea because I knew that I would never be able to understand everything at once. After the movie, I pieced it all together in order to fully understand. I must say, the concept of this film was extremely strange and abstract. Yes, it had been done it movies like the Matrix, but it was still much different. While the Matrix made me mad, Inception just made me confused, but still happy The ending was one of those interpret for yourself kinds of things. Usually, those make me mad, but this time, I'm pretty sure of myself on what the ending is. The object is spinning, which means it's a dream, but then it starts to wobble. It didn't wobble in the dreams, so he wasn't dreaming. It's not even questionable for me, that was real. I know it. So I was pretty satisfied, everything turned out right. It was a really great movie, you should definitely watch it. All I am going to say about what to think when you sit down to watch it is: don't try to understand everything. There's so much going on that you'll never be able to figure it out. At one point in time, there were four different levels of life, try to grasp that concept.

Kick-Ass (2010)

Okay, let me start off by saying that before I watched this movie, I must have heard a million different views on it. Most of what I heard was saying that it was too violent. So when I started watching it, I expected a gruesome action film, filled with tons of violence. However, once I started it, I realized that it was so much more than that. Yes, it had action, but it also had these sweet little moments where I couldn't help but to smile. Chloe Moretz is a wonderful actress. She's about 13, and I've loved her in everything that she's been in. She's very talented for a little girl. Aaron Johnson portrayed the character of a geeky superhero so well, and I was so happy when he got the girl, especially after the hilarious amount of work that he went to be close to her. The movie was just hilarious, and the ending gave me chills. If a movie can be so funny yet so dramatic at the same time, it has to be good. It just has to. So basically, if you're into any time of genre, pick it up. Most of the people that I've talked to have liked it, so the odds are that you will, too.

Charlie St. Cloud (2010)

First of all, let me just say that this was definitely the best performance that I have ever seen Zac Efron in. Secondly, I want to say that the movie was more sci-fi that I expected. I mean, I knew about the whole thing with his brother, but it just got so much more weird that that. What with his friend & his girlfriend. It was sort of giving me a Sixth Sense sort of vibe at first. I wanted to watch a drama or a romance, not a horror film. It definitely got much more intense after the first scene, which I didn't think was possible. If you are one of those people that cry during movies, then I guarantee that you will cry in this one. A lot. My friend nearly couldn't stop. Also, there were plot twists! My favorite things in movies. There were moments were you went wait a minute, what!? Sometimes, I even got extremely angry. I nearly kicked the chair in front of me because I was mad. You know that a movie's good if it makes you feel real emotion. So what I'm basically trying to say is that if you think that just because Zefron's in it, then it has to be bad, then think again. It made me laugh, cry, go "aww," and want to kick chairs. If a movie can do all that, then it must be good.

The Cable Guy (1996)

This may be one of the weirdest movies that I have watched in a while. I was in love with the cast, however. Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick & Jack Black all in the same film, that was wonderful. This movie was a combination of the two most opposite genres: comedy and thriller. It was just really... weird, I don't really know how else to describe it. I was pleased at the end, that he didn't die. But on several occasions Jim Carrey just made me shiver, he was just so freaky. So about the actual quality of the movie, it was good. Not everybody would like it, though. I guess the people who like comedy would because it is quite funny at times, and if you like those weird movies then it's good, because this one definitely was weird. Some parts were just weird to the point where I didn't want to watch it anymore, but then it picked right back up again. So I guess that all in all, it was good. I don't know, I just can't exactly pick good or bad on this one, so you'll just have to watch it for yourself and get your own opinion.
