Divergent

Divergent

     As the story starts it explains the details of the new society. The five factions create peace, or so they thought. They did explain each faction twice in the beginning which was a little much but if you hadn't read the books it was probably necessary. They did make it loyal to the books in many ways including a lot of the dialogue.
     When the story begins Tris is getting her hair cut by her mother and they talk about the aptitude test she has to take. She gets a strange result in the test. Her test is three different factions which is dangerous. They call her divergent. Right away the clothes draw you in. You find yourself looking at each factions and thinking about what it would be like to live there. Right away you say which ones you wouldn't be a part of and then some that you might. It follows Tris as she choses Dauntless over her faction, Abnegation. She is obviously one of the bravest people there. She is the first to jump into Dauntless and since she comes from Abnegation she is a target to the others.
     The pick on her and some of them bully her but she stands tall and has friends to back her up. She has fears, that she learns about in her fear landscape but she doesn't face them everyday. Her leader, Four grows fond of her as she does him. Just like in the book they fall in love and he protects her. The theories of the other factions are soon learned to be true when she wakes one morning and finds all of Dauntless except for the leaders under a simulation. She follows them acting like she is under it too. She sees that Four is also not under the simulation meaning that he is Divergent as well.
     There is so much more but you are going to have to go see it to find out what happens in the end. The acting was very well played by Shailene Woodley and Theo James. I don't however like some of the other supporting roles. Though Kate Winslet did a great job playing her evil part some of the others didn't quite look the part. Jai Courtney and Zoë Kravitz did a nice job acting out their parts. I really saw the characters from the book come to life. But I have to credit to Christian Madsen who played Al. He did a nice job playing the innocent guy and then flip the script on everyone and become something you are not expecting. I liked that though i wish they made him even more weak like they did in the book.
     Overall this was a very well done movie with a lot of real action. They had a lot of cuts and bruises just as they talked about in the books. The clothing and the people lifted off of the page. Everyone should see it.

White House Down

White House Down

     This action packed thriller was defiantly a little wild but yet somewhat believable. Though this story is extremely highly unlikely it is a very good one and could almost think possible. The film begins with a young girl played by Joey King, named Emily Cale. Emily and her father John (Channing Tatum) become the main characters of this film. As the white house is taken over John and Emily get caught up in it. John saves the president while looking for Emily and they have to fight to keep the president alive and safe. Though on the outside they think the president is dead so the vice president is signed into office. Emily is lost in the huge building without her father and has to try and stay hidden from the terrorists.
     Joey King does an amazing job of portraying a small frightened yet strong girl. She is such an amazing little actress, also in the great and creepy film, The Conjuring. While John try's to protect the president from the invaders of the building extra story lines come in when they realize that the person in charge is on a suicide mission. But the real leader doesn't come until the end. Emily takes her video camera and takes a video of the terrorists and posts it on youtube. The terrorists catch her and bring her in the room with the rest of the hostages but only after she got the footage. Once this footage was out they could put an identity on the terrorists in the building. Once they were all out they found out the information on them and realize that they were all potential threats to the president.
     After she is caught there is a series of action packed events leading to the new presidents death (though the real president is still alive) and the Secretary of State is put into office. His first act as president is to bomb the white house. The terrorists inside have threatened to make nuclear attacks on other countries. The new president feels this is the best way to solve it. After threatening to kill Emily Cale many times eventually most of the terrorists are killed but the fight isn't over because the air strike was still supposed to happen. As the planes are in rout Emily grabs a flag and runs out on the lawn of the White House there she waves away the planes saving the white house, the people around it and the people in it including the real president and her father. The real person behind the attack was figured out to be the Secretary of State who was initiated to be the president. The story lines are detailed and if you follow them it keeps you at the edge of your seat. The action was intense. Channing Tatum of course did a wonderful, real job of playing a father to Emily Cale (Joey King). He has a daughter himself so his acting was great. And who does love Channing Tatum?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

     As everyone says this is an amazing film. When I saw the previews I didn't think it would be very good. They did not do the movie justice at all. The film is about a young boy just going to high school. Right away we know there is something wrong with him. But the audience doesn't know what is wrong with him. The main character Charlie is the amazing and very cute Logan Lerman. Charlie meets some very strange and different friends named Sam and Patrick. Sam and Charlie fall in love but there is something different. Charlie agrees to date someone else. See the story on the outside is literally of wallflowers that don't mean much to popular people. I liked all of the behind the scenes things. Charlie is different and they keep referring back to getting bad again. The audience doesn't exactly know what that means but we find out. Charlie refers to his aunt and how she was this amazing person but things start to come together when Charlie blacks out. When he blacks out he sees things again. The entire movie is like a big puzzle. The puzzle starts to come together and we realize all of the behind the scenes details are rough things. The movie is heartfelt and moving. Everything in the movie makes you laugh or cry. It follows the stories of these people that are realistic. Every teenager should see this movie!

Valentines Day

Valentines Day

     A love story filled with romance, triumphs, heartbreaks and of course love stories. Now at first the only thing that brought me to this movie were the amazing actors like Taylor Lautner, Anne Hathaway, and Ashton Kutcher. But then I realize there are so many more great actors in this movie then just them. The movie is about all different love stories. There is the guy with a wife and a girlfriend who finds out. There is the old couple with their problems and triumphs over them. The young couple that doesn't exactly know why they are together. The fiancé who says yes and doesn't mean it. And the gay couples hiding from the world. Of course then there is the young couple that aren't sure how life works yet. And the people still in elementary school.
     I loved each different story and how they were all connected. Overall it was a cute romance that was sometimes funny but overall it was entertaining.

"There you have it folks. Young Love. Full of promise, full of hope, ignorant of reality." five star quote.

The Moral Instruments City of Bones

The Moral Instruments City of Bones

     This was a movie mainly about a young girl who realizes she is not only different from the others but she also can see demons. A very handsome Jace (Jamie Campbell Bower) plays a shadow hunter. At first the only person from our world that can see him is Clary (Lily Collins). The movie begins with Clary seeing Jace. She has always known she is different and when she starts drawing these symbols she realizes just how different she is. As Jace connects with her Clary is the only person that sees him. He shows her and her friend Simon that they are not safe when her mother is taken. There is only way to get her mother back.
     The team joins up with other shadow hunters and they fight against demons to get Clary's mother back. There are many disgusting creatures and they could have dialed it down a bit on the grossness of some of the creatures. Some was unnecessary but of course this was a movie about demons. The love story was amazing between Clary and Jace and then of course there was the best friend that was in love with Clary, Simon. The only way to get Clary's mother back is to unlock the doors in her mind and find  her memories that have been hidden from her for so long. There were quite a few twists and turns through out the movie and I think one of the biggest ones was that the main bad guy was Clary's father. This made the entire story different and the ending was amazing while Clary fights to find the way back to her mother Jace realizes that he is the son of the same person. After thinking they were in love they both find out that instead they are brother and sister. That was defiantly a Star Wars moment if I ever saw one.
     Though there were some parts that were entirely too horror movie and not very believable if you put those aside and just look at it like a movie or a fantasy then it was a wonderful film. The acting was done very well. I only knew Jamie from Twilight as Caius and let me just say he was good in that movie but great in this one. Lily Collins was amazing in Abduction with Taylor Lautner and again in this movie. This was overall a very good movie.

"Everything you've heard…about monsters, about nightmares, legends whispered around campfires. All the stories are true." Three star quote.

"I've been hunting demons across the world in their varying different forms." three star quote.

Catching Fire

Catching Fire

     This movie was absolutely amazing. I saw it twice already and I have to say it was very good. Jennifer Lawrence had a hard and dark part to play here and she played it very well and very believable. This starts out with Katniss having PTSD from the hunger games but turns into a fight to survive and keep her family alive too when President Snow says he doesn't believe her love life.
     Peeta and Katniss have trouble pretending to be in love so they become very good friends and then more then friends as the games goes on. They realize they do love each other but Katniss can't focus on anything but trying to survive. When they have to go back in the games things get difficult. The arena is more deadly then the first with a new terror at every hour. There was some very good acting in this movie and of course a wonderful story line. The movie followed the book so well and the things they left out were very little and of course you can't put everything in a movie.
     The best two new cast members were Sam Claflin and Jena Melone. Finnick and Johanna were very funny and played their characters perfectly. They were funny and brought a lot to the movie. And Woody Harrelson, Haymitch, brought out his character in this movie. He was funny yet serious and very wise. Effie was also brought out in this movie (Elizabeth Banks) along with her crazy outfits came a really nice personality and showed that she was part of the team and the group. The quotes in this movie were outstanding. A lot of them were straight from the book and perfectly fit the movie.

"She sacrificed herself for me and I didn't even know her name." four star quote.

Pitch Perfect

Pitch Perfect

     Funny. That's the first thing you think of when you see Pitch Perfect. This movie is none stop funny.  Every other line is hilarious. The quotes are the funniest out every movie. This comedy is so different from other comedy's because it adds an element of a musical. I loved the songs and the music was even funny. Anna Kendrick did an amazing job in Twilight but in this she really shined. Who new she had such an amazing voice? Her song, Cups, went crazy and there wasn't one teenager (and adult) that didn't love that song. (If you didn't your crazy). Anna Kendrick really came out of her shell here and has become a big star because of this movie.
     Of course there is Rebel Wilson. She is one of the funniest people. She has also been in What to Expect When Your Excepting, where she was hilarious in her role. She was one of the best actors in this movie. Skylar Astin was not only an amazing singer but a great actor that a more serious role sometimes in this movie. He added the element of romance as did Anna Kendrick. Pitch Perfect is so different from other movies with Romance, comedy, and musicality. There was no shortage of funny in this movie.

"So what's your deal? Are you like one of those girls whose all dark and mysterious then she takes off her glasses and that amazing scary ear spike and you realize she was beautiful the whole time?" five star quote.

G.I. Joe Retaliation

G.I. Joe Retaliation

     This is a great film with a lot of great actors and quotes. The Rock was perfect for Roadblock equally funny and compelling. Channing Tatum is great in every movie of course. He creates a legacy that he leaves behind for his character. I am sure Channing Tatum wasn't very happy about not doing action the entire movie but what he was in was great. Adrianne Palicki was a great actress in Red Dawn as Toni. And now she is Lady Jaye. She was beautiful when she had to be but had a real story. She did well being one of the only females in the group. She was funny and precise with her character. Bruce Willis is one of the best actors of all time! In the Die Hard movies he couldn't have been better! Bruce Willis was hilarious and perfect for the role of Joe. And come on his house is more then cool. The guns in the cabinets and under the seat cushions. The grenades in the fruit basket. And the tank in the garage was the coolest thing! The settings of the entire movie were done very well. Snake Eyes was played by the same guy that played Darth Maul in Star Wars. No wonder he could do all of those tricks. The audience could be a bit confused for a number of different things. One, didn't Snake Eyes die in G.I. Joe Rise of the Cobra? Where did Lady Jaye come from and what happened to the last girl that was in Rise of the Cobra? Why did she disappear? But I do have to say Retaliation was much better then the first. The first was very space movie and the acting could have been a bit better too. G.I. Joe Retaliation kept your attention and was enjoyable.

"Drive it like you stole it!" five star quote.

"As your good friend, you need a new catchphrase." five star quote.

Narnia The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe

Narnia the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

     Welcome to the magical land of Narnia. The actors are merely children in this film but act very well. This movie was so well put together who didn't believe in Narnia when they were a kid? Thanks to this movie I sure did and I don't plan to stop. Anna Popplewell was my first favorite actress aside from Vanessa Hudgens. Actually before this URL was brittanymovies it was annarules101. She was my favorite. I loved the way she played the character, Susan Pevensie. Georgie Henley was so small and young in this film but she had to act like a little kid that wasn't understood. She did a very good job but I think that Skander Keynes had a tougher acting challenge. He not only had to be the kid that wasn't understood he also couldn't be on his families side. I think he did a wonderful job creating this character and then bringing him on the journey that the audience felt. We all felt the journey and we all watched it as he lived it. Peter was leader of the family and had to show more courage then a thirteen year old boy should have. This movie had the right amount of action and the right amount of imagination. It was only the beginning of the Narnia's and I think they only got better. Of course nothing can over shine how it all started with a little girl and some curiosity.

"For Narnia and for Aslan!" five star quote.

"Do not cite the deep magic to me witch. I was there when it was written." five star quote.

"To the radian southern sun I give you Queen Susan the Valiant." five star quote.

"And to the clear northern sky I give you King Peter the Magnificent." five star quote.

Abduction

Abduction

     Another film with Taylor Lautner's amazing acting and great looks. As him the main character in this movie he had to play a very angry teenager who just wants to party. But when he realizes that the people living in his house aren't his parents he begins to question his life. When he finds out that he is on a missing persons website he wants to know who he really is. It wasn't his mission to find out but the people who killed his parents want him too. The first time the audience see's this film it is confusing and like the Bourne movies you have to watch it twice to understand what is truly going on. Lily Collins who plays his love interest isn't as well known as Taylor Lautner. But she was a very good actress. Her character is only dragged into it all and their chemistry was out of this world. Every audience member loved the scene on the train. The entire movie was very well put together and very well acted through as well. Almost all of the movie is just about Taylor and Lily. Lily's character Karen, must play hard to get until of course Nathan finds out his life has been a lie. Then they become a team and have to run away together. They don't even know what their running from but it is their search and mission to find out. This movie is very well acted and well done. It has the perfect amount of action and romance. It's perfect. The quotes are out of this world.

"If you wanna play by no rules you better be careful what you let out the box." five star quote.

"Trust needs to be earned." five star quote.

"Yeah but you gotta admit it was one pretty exciting first date." five star quote.

Charlie St. Cloud

     Zac Efron was so good in this movie. He had to be so incredibly emotional and did a great job acting through his character. I believed every minute of it. The audience cries when his little brother dies. We feel what Charlie feels when he wants to be with Sam. The audience feels bad for Charlie but at the same time is right there with him. Though the first time I watched this I didn't get all the details the second time I understood. The audience thinks Tess and Charlie are together when really Charlie is just seeing her spirit and interacting with what he thinks is Tess. But it is only her spirit, really she has almost died. Charlie must believe that Sam wont be mad if he leaves. Charlie never really has to say goodbye to Sam but when he doesn't meet him one day Sam forgives him. And Sam's soul is let free. This is a very emotional, sad, happy, scary, confusing, romantic movie. I loved it the first time I saw it and every time after that. Charlie might feel like he can see these people but others just think he's crazy. The audience tries to put the puzzle together but little do we know we are missing some pieces. In the end they give us those pieces to create a masterpiece that is Charlie St. Cloud.
