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.

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.
