X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
ACTION/SCI-FI
PLOT: The X-men have to do time-travel to stop a
breed of robots that only targets mutants.
This a good
movie!! It is action-packed and well
acted summer blockbuster. My only
concern is if there is another movie will the entire cast come back?? There are five X-men movies and I enjoy them
all but some are getting old. Directed
Bryon Singer who directed the first still knows how to make these kinds of films. The stand outs are Mystique (Jennifer
Lawrence) and Quicksilver (Evan Peters) he was great as comic relief.
MALEFICENT
FANTASY/ADVENTURE
PLOT: The untold back story of the witch of Sleeping
Beauty.
Angelina Jolie is
GREAT as the witch of the classic fairytale.
She’s much better when she is evil but she does have her reasons. The rest of the cast is good and the special
effects amazing. It is very well done
for kids as well as adults.
EDGE OF TOMORROW
ACTION/SCI-FI
PLOT: Tom Cruise has to live one day over and over
to save the world.
This must have
been some pitch to the studio that produced this: Groundhog Day and Starship Troppers. Cage (Tom Cruise) must repeat the same day over
and over to save the world from spider looking monsters. It is a confusing but thrilling
adventure. Emily Blunt plays against
type but she is very good as a tough officer going through what Cage is. The film is not doing well in the US but it
will do very well on video to understand more of the story.
BRICK MANSIONS
ACTION/SCI-FI
PLOT: American version of the French thriller
District 13.
I didn’t want to
see this film because of the death of the handsome actor Paul Walker. He is very good and could easily be a new
action star. The story is still the same
for this film. In the future Detroit is
so violent they build a wall so the poor can’t get out. The action doesn’t wait long!!! The frenetic pace starts
within ten minutes!! David Bell who was
in the original French film and in this one and he is AMAZING with his Parkour
skills!!! It didn’t do very well in
theaters but DO watch on video!!!
