Gravity

*SPOILER ALERT*

I just came back from watching Gravity. That was the most dizziest movie every. So much spinning it was making me sick, and lightheaded. As I am typing this, I feel like the room is spinning.

Even though I got crazily lightheaded I have to say I like the movie. Sorta. Sandra Bullock has the worst luck in the movie, it pissed me off how much bad luck she was having. The American satellite broke down, the Russian satellite broke down, the Chinese satellite pod almost drowned her. My gosh man, its like she's her own character on the George Lopez show again.

But really sitting here and thinking about the movie. There was part where she was in the Russian satellite and she took off the heavy suit and she lay floating in the pod area. She looked like a baby in the womb. And it got me thinking about how sensitive the human life is. How one thing can go wrong and cause chaos. And within the chaos you find out how determined you are to go through it until the end. In the movie she almost gave up, but she didn't and that showed how we can overcome the fear of dying or losing by trying. That and some vodka sounds lovely right now.

I do say though the spinning camera didn't sit well with me. On a scale of one to ten, I give it a 4. They need to make my head stop spinning.

Wolverine

*NERD WARNING*
*SPOILER ALERT*

I am in love with Wolverine, ugh. And Hugh Jackman is the perfect Australian man to play my Canadian mutated hunk. I am a marvel fan, love marvel. I love all their movies, so action packed and awesome! Of course not all of it is exactly like the comic but hey it wasn't as bad as the Green Lantern movie that was made.

Anyway, I enjoyed this movie it was good. I love the action, I love the Japanese culture mix in. I enjoyed watching the flashback of Japan being nuked. I did actually see the ending coming,with the old guy in the suit. Kinda freaky though.

I couldn't make myself stop laughing when the blonde chick spit acid and had killer breath, literally. I thought of her being a teenager and someone handing her mentos after she would breath on someone and kill them.

I liked the little connection Logan had with the girl, Mariko. It was cute but I kinda wanted her to end up with that evil ninja guy. But oh well..

 I personally like x-men origins:wolverine better. I mean it showed more of his background, why he got brain washed and such.

But anyway on a scale of 1-10, I give it a 7. Good action,enjoyed it very much

Oz the Great and Powerful

*SPOILER ALERT*...sorta

I personally think James Franco is a wonderful actor,very funny man,and can be very dramatic. I personally think all his comedies were on point. I am also a big wizard of oz fan, love Wicked,the original Wizard of Oz book and movie,and I loved The Wiz.

But I personally didn't like Oz the Great and Powerful so much. I mean it sorta made sense to the whole Wizard of Oz thing, on how the wizard got there and used holograms to trick a broken heart witch. But here's my question, if the good witch and all the other people of Oz knew he wasn't magical and it was machine,then why would they send Dorothy to him if they knew the truth. And the monkey, why wasn't he is Wizard of Oz movie? Hmm the only monkey I saw in a bellhop suit was working for the Wicked Witch of the West.

And why turn the hot Mila Kunis into the ugly green lady?

Like I said I love James Franco, but when he started singing in the movie I wanted to leave. I am sorry but I couldn't deal. It really made me want to laugh. I remember hearing somewhere that James Franco regretted making the movie Your Highness... That is my one of my favorite movies...

I say if you have a movie to regret it's this one... Your Highness was so funny to me, and yes I was sober when I was watching it.

Anyone if I were to rate this on a 1-10, I give this movie a 4

The Butler

*Spoiler Alert*

I am a sucker for stories that are based off true events, and true historic events. Lee Daniel's The Butler was an amazing movie. It was so moving to me,I enjoyed every moment watching it. People say not all the event in the movie were true. For one it was said to be loosely based off of the butler named Eugene Allen.

Cecil Gaines was a very good person, did what he was told and always followed the rules in a way. I loved how devoted he was to his work, of course that would take a toll in his family life. I love the people they chose to play the presidents in this film. The man who played Nixon was so close to Nixon. And Robin Williams, good actor. I love the cast they chose for the Gaines family. Oprah was moving and not to mention funny. The two sons were wonderful actors.

It showed what was going on through the whole civil rights movement. To me that is very interesting, seeing what hardships the African-American community had to endure to get the freedom we have today. I love the ending when Cecil came to the white house to meet President Barack Obama. I also liked the part where he realized that his son wasn't just being rebellious, he was just fighting for his right. A lot of people at the time probably didn't realize what the young kids were doing when they were riding the freedom bus, or protesting for Nelson Mandela's release in South Africa.

All in all, it was a great movie.

On a scale from 1-10 I give this an 8 and I highly recommend people to see.

Insidious 2

I recently saw Insidious 2 and I have to say on a scale of 1-10, I have to give it a 6. I felt as though there was more humor than horror in this film. And it was very unusual compared to the first movie. But it did explain some things in a way

*Spoiler Alert*
DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT PARTS OF THE FILM SPOILED!

The ghost that was haunting the family, I just ended up feeling bad for him in the long run. His mother was the she devil honestly. I felt as though the reason he killed so many women, besides his mother making him kill people, was because it was a way of revenge towards women. The whole bride in black thing was even weirder, his mother had him wrapped around her finger. I also felt as though it was strange that before he died he knew he was going to haunt Josh.

I would also like to say that I like other scary movies because they are more realistic. I don't like the whole other realm thing because to me it isn't as realistic as it sounds. And the outer body experiences while still being in the present house also threw me for a loop.

Also there was too much humor for me. When I want to be scared, I wanna be scared and not laugh after. Make me piss my pants like I almost did in the first movie.

And what about that ending... WTF was there? What did the ghost lady see behind the girl in the wheelchair? Is there going to be another installment of insidious, but with a Latino family??
