Penguins of Madagascar

I always appreciate a good funny animation, especially if it has cute stuff in it.
I am not sure if this movie is a sequel to Madagascar, but something parallel to that about those ninja penguins.
Very well made animation with cute penguins and funny little things happening and actually if you pay enough attention, there are a lot of references to random things.

I would definitely recommend watching this movie if you are bored, sad or have nothing else to do, you won't be disappointed with a 6/10.

P.S. Definitely pay a lot of attention to the dialogues , I was rolling on the floor laughing the whole time

Into the Woods

I think I waited too long for this movie to come out which resulted in an enormous amount of expectations built up. With Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp ,  Emily Blunt, playing the red riding hood, jack and the beanstalk, Cinderella, Rapunzel , all these does sound really exciting, well ...

To begin with this movie is a musical with amazing songs and singing from professionals and amazing scenes , but it is a very long movie, too long maybe. It could end three times and still we knew the story.

The little red riding hood, jack and the beanstalk, Cinderella, Rapunzel all cross paths into the woods and the want to teach us to be loyal, compassionate, wise, decisive and all those good things,

But who knew the little red riding hood was such a brat who got raped by the wolf, Cinderella had no idea what she wants from life and only wanted the prince charming to chase her, prince charming was ladies' man making out with everyone and Rapunzel was simply an imbecile.  Well thank you whoever made this movie, now I know it all,

If you are really bored and are obsessed with fairy tales maybe you should go watch this movie,
just be careful, the theme song is SUPER catchy , 5/10

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

hallelujah, I still get goosebumps thinking about the movie. HOW are they so good at making movies?!?

During the whole 2.5 hours of watching movie, I was just asking HOW? this is too good.
This was the last part of hobbits and I am so sad about it. I hope with all the skills and technology they got during past years they start making LOTR again or something similar, because this is too good to end.

The only thing that happens in this movie is the battle of the five armies and that is it, but who cares. All the scenes, sounds, special effects, 3D effects , all are so good that no one needs a story to follow.

I would definitely recommend EVERYONE to go and watch this, Please, tonight, 9/10

Hunger games, Mockingjay part 1

There is a point when you feel that you are done with a movie and I feel I am at that point with Hunger games. After the second movie I was very excited to watch the rest and I tried to keep the excitement alive but When I watched it I was sure I am done.
There is only so much you can keep making new parts and keep people excited , but you got to stop somewhere.

President at district 13 is trying to get everyone to help fight against the capital (who I still don't know if is a good guy or a bad guy, well girl) and they have Katniss to be their voice and their mockingjay.
By going to different districts and showing how miserable everyone is and then hacking to the capital system and broadcast these videos for them they are building their army.

It kind of is very obvious what is going to happen but I don't care anymore.

I would recommend this only to the very enthusiastic fans and give 5/10 to it.

This is where I leave you

Two months ago my mom was visiting me and since she arrived she was bugging me to go watch movies (I should mention my movie watching habits directly comes from her). Her obsession with family drama was the reason I picked this movie to watch with her.

The father of a family dies and all the kids gather at their childhood house for the funeral. The sister with her super busy husband, the brother who is trying but can't have a baby, the brother who has recently been cheated on and the smallest son who still needs to grow up. All of them bring their own problems and drama and on top of that , their dad's last wish was for them to stay for a week at the house. 

Many dramatic events and encounter happens and of course at the end they realize how much they love each other. Family drama in general can be a very cliche subject, I seen some good movies with this genre, my favorite is "Parenthood" tv series. In general this movie was a good one because of the cast and all the funny things that happens in it, but is not a very deep movie. There is specifically one thing I did not like was how cheating is pictured so ordinary and an every day habit, which pissed me off.

At the end, I would recommend this for a feeling good movie to watch maybe with family, or when alone and with low expectations , giving it a 5/10.

The book of life

Animations have always been my safe , to go choice when I want to watch a movie in the theatre. To my surprise, this year we have a good number of animations (good animations) out which I only got to watch this one so far.

Though this movie is about Mexican myths and legends, It is produced so amazingly that would keep everyone interested. I only chose to watch it by checking the poster, and for the first 5 minutes I was very doubtful, but soon It got a very smooth tone to it.

The story is about two young boys in love with the same girl with their own struggles.
Everything about this movie, from the pictures, to the music, the voices , they are all perfectly beautiful and heart stealing. It is obvious that a good amount of skills, thought and time have been spent on making this animation. I can even go further and say this animation was an absolute piece of art for anyone to enjoy.

I do certainly recommend this animation to everyone and would give a 8.5/10 to it.

Fury

It's been such a long time since my last blog and I know you all have been counting days for a new post. your WELCOME ;P

Honestly it was a pretty disappointing summer and only recently they realized if they wanna keep the theatres open they need to start showing good movies.I still watched a lot and I do have a couple of them that worth sharing.

The most recent movie I watched is Fury. A WWII Brad Pitt movie which I liked very much.They did a pretty good job in keeping the movie almost race neutral, even at some point (which I didn't catch and my friend reminded me :P) Brad Pitt says this is not about being good or bad , this is about killing or getting killed (I should add a disclaimer that I am VERY much against any form of violence and at some point thought maybe you didn't need to cross an ocean to make this choice, BUT, at least they didn't try to portrait a heroic American action to save the world)

The movie is about an innocent young type writer who is sent to the front in Germany as a replacement in Brad Pitts tank. He tried to keep away from the whole killing thing but of course it is inevitable in a war. from the very beginning Brad Pitt likes him and becomes some sort of a mentor to him and they bond very well. They also have 4 other people in the tank and their interactions is what a big part of this movie is about.

This movie has a lot of very violent scenes when I had to barricade myself behind my coat for a good chunks of time and I (very embarrassingly) had some tear shedding. To my defence where were lots of very strongly emotional scenes where you see how this innocent young boy changes into a killing machine or when you see Brad Pitt's role has softer sides to it also.

I do recommend this movie to watch to anyone who is even remotely feels interested and I guarantee they won't be disappointed. 7.5 is a very fair point to Fury.
