Movies Go Ape Summer 2014




TRANSFORMERS 4:  AGE OF EXTINCTION
ACTION/FANTASY

PLOT:  Humans now think that the robots are a threat and a secret organization wants them all killed.

                This is a summer popcorn movie!!!  Story is not really essential but there is  much action in this film.  It has a new cast and Mark Wahlberg is a welcome change from Shia LaBouf.  You know the movie is not about the people but the Transformers.  Director Michael Bay has been called a hack Mr. Explosion but the guy delivers!!  I wish he made Godzilla for you know you will watch rock ‘em sock ‘em entertainment.


THINK LIKE A MAN TOO
ROMANTIC COMEDY

PLOT: A couple plans to be married so they go to Vegas for their last fling!!

                The gang from Think Like A Man are back!!  Michael (Terrance J) and Candace (Regina Hall) are getting married so his friends and her friends give a bachelor and bachelorette but they just get in crazy adventures.  It is very funny and Kevin Hart is hilarious.  It is a fun time at the movies if you like these kinds of movies.


DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
ACTION/SCI-FI

PLOT:  The sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

                In the sequel a deadly virus takes out most of the humans.  The apes live in harmony without humans but the humans who did survive need to the river where the apes are and here comes the conflict.  The story is simple but this is the best summer movie I enjoyed in a looong time. It is a morality tale repeating what you already know there is good and bad in every species. 

Motion capture king Andy Serkis is just brilliant as Caesar, leader of the apes and his nemesis Koda played by Todd Kebell is amazing!!  He will be Dr. Doom in the latest Fantastic Four and when you see this film you WILL know why they picked him.  The humans are great too,  Jason Clarke, Keri Russell and the wonderful Gary Oldman.
