Brave (5)

(Trailer) 

There. Is. Nothing. Bad. About this movie.

Seriously, I just think everyone should see it because everyone will find something to love about this movie.

It's emotional, it's REALLY funny, it's cute, it's historical (or at least based on myths/tales) and magical and has a strong female lead and solid morales. I just loved this movie. It made me cry twice and laugh myself into tears more times than I can count.

I honestly don't know what else to say. I thought that the cast choosen suited the characters perfectly. I thought that the pace, balance between sad and funny, the music and the look to the characters and their world was perfection.

I can't wait to see it again. I had really high hopes for this movie but they blew me out of the water. Good for kids and for adults. Just...awesome.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (3.5)

(Trailer)

Directed by Timur Bekmambetov.

The real story of Abraham Lincoln before and during his presidency. 

This movie was 60% awesome/bad-good and 40% just bad. 

I was really looking forward to this movie but I knew going in that it wasn't going to be a life changing movie. I just wanted to be entertained and to laugh and I did both of those things. 

What stopped me from liking this movie was the awful computer graphics. I mean...seriously. What professional is unable to make a believable horse with a computer these days? They should've taken more time and spent a little bit more money. It was so bad at times that I stopped watching the movie and could see only the bad graphics. Ugh. Ruined it. 

I am only giving this a 3.5 because, in the end, it was entertaining and the story wasn't actually that bad. I also thought that Benjamin Walker did a great job and the only times I cringed were due to the script that he was following. I laughed really hard, sometimes planned but mostly AT the movie and those were good laughs. 

I love all vampire movies so of course I liked it.

Safe House (3.5)

(Trailer) 

2012 action/crime film by director Daniel Espinosa about a rookie CIA agent in charge of a safe house gets a high profile guest. When the safe house is compromised and every one else is dead it is up to him to protect the guest at all costs. 

While Denzel Washington (The Book of Eli) was just Denzel being Denzel, I thought that Ryan Reynolds ( The Proposal) stepped up to the action plate for this role. He has a lot of hand to hand combat and car chase scenes and I was surprised on more than one occasion by him during this movie. 

Other than that, this is a good story and character balanced action movie but with an extra taste of audience involvement in what is happening. By that I mean that generally action films put up a wall and they are there to watch and enjoy. Good movies need a character, plot line or humour that lets the viewer in on a new level and allows for the viewer to enter the story on some level. I had that experience a few times during this movie but not for the whole thing. 

Liked the story, I liked the cast but am indifferent about the characters besides Reynolds who was really entertaining. The acting was legit and I was really into this film. The ending is predictable but it didn't make it less enjoyable. 

I was surprised by how much I liked this movie. The plot seems basic but there is more to it than you think. Check it out!

3.5/5
