DESPICABLE ME
It was a really lousy day - typical Dunedin winter weather - so Ben and I decided to go to the movies. I had been really wanting to see this movie (all because of the scene with the little girl "It's SOOO fluffy!!!"). So I dragged Ben into the theatre full of kids (not that he was reluctant to begin with) and we watched it. It was full of "awwww" moments and a few funny ones as well, but at the end the movie made me feel like I was too old for kids movies (being a kid at heart; I hated feeling like that). I came to the conclusion that this movie was good, but not THAT good. It was SUPER cute but didn't really appeal to my sense of humour. Unfortunately Ben had the same feeling as well and he walked out totally unimpressed with my movie decision.... Oh well hehe.
AVATAR - THE LAST AIRBENDER
So some of you might remember watching the cartoon series on Nickelodeon as a kid... If not then you might not understand entirely what this movie is about just by reading my blog. THE STORYLINE: This movie was set years ago. It's based upon a boy (thousands of years old) named Aang who is the Avatar (someone who can control all the elements - earth, air, fire & water). Years before the time where the movie is set, Aang went missing and left the world to turn to chaos. Years later when he comes back the Fire Nation are trying to pretty much take over the world and Aang has to stop them and put "balance" back into the world. Unfortunately Aang has only mastered the element of Air and needs learn the other elements before taking on the "fire lord". So with the help of Katara & Sokka he begins his journey to do so.
Unfortunately this movie is only the beginning. The cartoon series are broken up into a series of "books". This movie (I think) is only the first one. So when I went to this movie with my friends Jack & Leon, I got really into it because it was long beforehand that I had seen all the episodes with Stacey. I knew all the characters and roughly what was going to happen. The only frustrating thing was that their names were pronounced differently AND if finished before I was ready for it!!! All in all... it was a good movie =D 3 stars from me maybe...
THE EXPENDABLES
THIS MOVIE WAS AMAZING!!!! - that is all -
No, seriously... This movie met all my expectations. It was full of Hollywood Legends - Sylvester Stallone (who also co-wrote the movie), Jason Statham, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis PLUS MORE - and plenty of action!!! The storyline was good and the guys still know how to please an audience =D
Definitely a MUST see movie for any action lover or admirer of the old boys!
THE A-TEAM
This movie was FUNNY!!!! I will be completely honest, when this movie was first advertised to be released, I had no idea that Mr. T came from the A-Team and I wasn't too fussed if I didn't get to see this movie. I never went to the movies to see it though. I ended up watching it at a friends place (totally legal of course). In my opinion this movie would've been good in the cinemas. I thought of it as an action packed comedy!!! It had great actors and made me laugh so much. And the plot... was good. The ending of the movie was a bit different but during the break down (when they were getting the bad guy) I was really pulled in. The way it was all thought out was pretty cool. Four Stars =D
