Downfall

The other day I was bored enough to watch the movie Downfall. The movie was about the final days of Adolf Hitler and those that were around him before his death. The story is mainly focused on Hitler's secretary, and what she saw during the time in Adolf Hitler's bunker. I found the story interesting. I actually liked the movie and it made me feel pity for Hitler in his final days when he knew he was going to lose. I am saying I pity him, not supporting him; just making that clear. In the movie, the saddest scene to me was when this woman decided to kill her children when she realized Hitler was going to lose, she didn't want them living in a world without national socialism, or Nazism. She gave all her children medicine that would make them fall asleep, once they were asleep she put cyanide capsules into their mouth and closed their mouths causing it to break and kill them. I thought it was very sad, I wouldn't be able to kill my own kids... But eventually she and her husband killed herself as well. I believe the woman who killed her children was Eva Braun's sister, thus making her Hitler's sister in law. At the end of the movie, it switches to a present day interview with Hitler's secretary claiming she knew nothing about the concentration camps, and if she did she wouldn't have been his secretary.. I recommend this movie to those who like watching historical drama themed movies.

Carrie

I recently saw the remake of Stephen King's novel Carrie. Mind you, I never saw the first movie of Carrie so I don't really have anything to compare it to. But I did cheat and read a Wikipedia article on the book. And I do say I enjoy the movie, even though my date didn't like it so much. I liked it but I felt bad for Carrie for being bullied. I think the blonde girl did a good thing even though it was bad timing because that brunette girl ruined everything. What a weird way to end prom...

I find it crazy how the mother misread the bible into scaring her daughter. She was freakishly over religious. She said even though she was married she didn't lay with her husband but he raped her anyway. Causing Carrie to be conceived than born. I thought it was crazy that she almost killed Carrie.

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.

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.

At World's End

On a scale from 1-10, I give this movie a 7. It was very funny and I enjoyed it a lot. But like I said when rating insidious 2, I like more realistic movies. It was still a funny as hell movie. I enjoyed the drinking, the humor,the fights, the random alien takeover. All the works.

I enjoyed Shawn of Dead also, so of course I enjoy this movie. I feel like going to Britain, where my family resides, and drinking at some of the local pubs. But then again, I'm not much a beer drinker, I like the straight alcohol. Like Hennessy and Vodka. But anyway... Good movie, I recommend it to people looking to laugh.

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??
