Mirror Mirror REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the movie "Mirror Mirror" starring Julia Roberts. In this film an evil queen stole control of the kingdom. She wants Snow White dead so she stays the fairest of them all, and also so she continues to be queen. After Snow White is exiled into the dark forrest she befriends dwarf bandits who help her regain her birthright.

So I think I should start with the positives that come with this movie shall I? It's going to be a short list. There is humor in it that maybe and I mean maybe makes you smile. Julia Roberts is just different in this film which in a sense I kinda love, and just the cast all around are enjoyable in this film.

The rest of the film is just crap I am going to have to say. The whole plot is just childish and completely unoriginal. You just sit their thinking, "What did I get myself into?" When I said this movie is childish, well I am not saying it is for children either. It would be a good children movie if it wasn't trying so hard, but instead we get a sorry use of film. The whole film is just over the top goofy. The cinematography too is just different and over the top. Its a strain on your eyes.  The humor I said maybe makes you smile but most of the time it is just so childish you just sit their and think, "Was this supposed to be funny?" Throughout the film you should develop with the characters and care, but in all reality you just want the movie to be over. The whole movie goes over in a blur and the whole time you were just bored out of your mind. Then the ending is just terribly quick and seems extremely unnatural. Plus it was a sad moment to see the actor that was in this film . . . really you can do better than this film.

So all-in-all I can't even create a normal sized review for "Mirror Mirror" because I have already said all I can say about it. For the ratings I will give it the last-minute rent worthy rating. Want some humor and your really can't find ANYTHING else you might as well choose this. You might find some enjoyment. As for the rating, "Mirror Mirror" is going to get a 1.5/5 star rating, just cause I loved the cast and some of the humor. Plus it's Snow White with a twist.

R.I.P. Micheal Clarke Duncan

I am sure you have already heard the sad news about the passing of a great actor, Micheal Clarke Duncan, but I thought in honor I should do a blog post. He passed away Monday after a two month long struggle with a heart attack. "He suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered," said Micheal's personal representative. Micheal Clarke Duncan was 54 years old and engaged to marry Osmarosa Manigault-Stallworth. I am saddened to report this news to you all. It saddens me to report the loss of someone who had so much talent, especially since he was still pretty young and had a lot of life before him yet.

Micheal's motion picture history includes "Planet of the Apes (2001)" as Attar. He was also nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting role for his performance as John Coffey in "The Green Mile." He most recent work was in the TV series "The Finder." His most recent work in the movie industry is in the film "In the Hive" which has been completed and is expected to be released in 2012.

Dwayne Johnson had this to say about Micheal's passing, "I will miss you my brother." Its sad to see that he had to leave this world. All I want to say is thank you Micheal Duncan for your amazing contribution to the motion picture industry. You will be greatly missed, and I send my condolences to his family and close friends. Rest in peace.

I would like to say that I am extremely in shock right now with what has happened, and if I could I would love to express my deepest sympathies to the families of the victims, along with the victims themselves. Finding this out really saddens me and terrifies me. Can you imagine going to a movie you have been waiting for years and then having someone shoot at you during it? Why would this man do this? What drives you to do something like this?

Well, rest in peace victims of this mass shooting. I am sure you will all be missed. It is terrible what has happened to you, and I hope to never hear of anything in the future. Rest in peace . . .

Pixar going to far?

Have you been waiting for a continuation of Marlin, Dory, and Nemo's story told to us back in 2003? Well its for sure that you will get that chance! Pixar has confirmed that "Finding Nemo 2" is officially in the works and has an expected release date of 2016. They are ready officially announced also that the director of the original "Finding Nemo," Andrew Stanton, will return his throne as director of the sequel.

This is not the only sequel that Pixar has officially released it's being in the works. They have also officially announced that the "Toy Story" franchise will be getting a fourth installment. Apparently a sequel is already in the works. No information on expected release date.

Are you excited to see a second "Finding Nemo" story come to the big screen? How about another "Toy Story" film? I mean yeah sure they all have been great, but is Pixar going to far with all these sequels? I mean "Cars 2," all the "Toy Story" films, and now "Monster's Inc." with its prequel due out next summer "Monster's University." I feel like they might be screwing with something they have that is already good. I am afraid of "Monster's University." Pixar's "Monster's Inc." was my favorite Pixar, and now I feel like they might ruin it with the prequel.

What do you think though? Let me know in the comments section below, oh and stay tuned . . .

2001: A Space Odyssey REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the classic film, "2001: A Space Odyssey." This film is about a team set out to research more on a mysterious object found buried upon the lunar surface. Well shall we talk about this film?

Lets talk about the positives first today about this film. For starters I really could only find a few of them. I know this movie is very well critically acclaimed, but for god knows what reason I HATED THIS FILM!!! Ugh I realize almost everyone loves this film but not me. This is supposed to be about the positives though. So the only really think I liked was the message or the plot of the film: which was about trying to find out more about aliens within our universe. Only real thing I liked, besides music (but more on that below) otherwise . . .

This film was extremely boring. Ugh there were these scenes where it was just a ship moving within space. Nothing happened really at all. They were just long boring, and in my eyes completely pointless and just dragged the movie on forever! I do want to say though before I finish the review, I never watched the whole movie, WAY TO BORING! I read about what happens, and I still feel like the movie never would have picked up at all. Just seemed to last forever those long pointless scenes, especially the ones in space and with the apes. One thing I do want to say too is that the music for some scenes just seemed to be extremely overdramatic for the certain scene. Don't get me wrong, I loved the score but I feel like it didn't fit this movie at all. Ugh and just again so slow of movie, I felt like nothing ever happened the hour and half I watched. With the synopsis I read I still feel like I missed nothing. So this really is the first movie I really never finished, and I couldn't it was SO boring. If you have never seen it and don't believe me, try it yourself. Fair warning though you will be extremely bored with it by 10 minutes in.

Well now you are probably wondering what the rating of this movie will be right? Well I am giving it and UGH never watch and on the scale it will be getting a 1/5. Don't go rent, buy, or ever watch it is just extremely boring. Just get the soundtrack, a really good one it is.

Well thanks for reading, you are now even closer to becoming a "Motion Picture Buff" too. I want to mention that I really wanted to watch this film to the end, but literally I couldn't it was just literally the most boring thing I have ever read, it only gets a 1/5 because of the soundtrack and plot (even though it was portrayed terribly). So don't think I never not watch the whole film, I do just not this boring thing Now make sure you have subscribed by email so you know when I update the blog next with another review or important information in the motion picture world. Comment below on your thoughts about this film too if you have seen it. One more time now, thanks again for reading, and stay tuned for more . . .

Don't mess with the Zohan REVIEW

Okay I can't even start this review with my usual start up. HOLY FU***** CRAP. Adam Sandler what the heck is wrong with you? Lets just say this I hated this movie, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan." As one of my favorite movie reviewers would say, "This film is Dogshit!" Ugh so yes this film is going to get the lowest rating I can possibly give it, 1/10. Lets talk about all the stupidity that this movie brought.

I first would like to say that I thought I would never be able to fine the worst possible film ever (sure I do have LOADS of other films to watch. As of right now though I have found my least favorite film of all time, and it would have to be HANDS DOWN this film. It just irritated me so much. There was not one thing, not one single little thing about this film that I liked. I think I remember smiling at one part, but I don't even remember what it was. Now I like stupid funny,  "Austin Powers" for example, but this crossed the stupid funny barrier. This film was just plain old dumb, and a huge waste of film in the motion picture industry. The acting, plot, and the fact of it being completely ridiculous in every single aspect of the movie just made this film terrible. Sure there was a message in this film, but nope this film was to ridiculous to even help it get a better rating.

I am going to suggest that you never even watch it, seriously you will 100% lose some brain cells after this. I know I said that in my "Jack and Jill" review, but this time I promise you! No way does this film get a recommendation from me in any aspect what-so-ever. So if you ever think of picking up this movie at a store, renting it, or clicking on it for Netflix (if it is on there), DO NOT DO IT!!!! You will regret that decision for the rest of your life. (Dramatic I know ;)

Well thanks for reading this review, I know its shorter but nothing good to say about this film so it would make it shorter. I hope you enjoyed the review, and continue to check back here for more reviews or important movie information.

Jack and Jill REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" presents a review for the feature film starring Adam Sandler, "Jack and Jill."  Well what to say about this film? Well lets just make it simple shall we? I gave it a rating of 2/10. Wow I seriously lost some brain cells watching this film, that I will never EVER get back. Lets get this over with shall we?

To start lets get the positives out of the way, which only include like one . . . two might count, most likely not though. I liked the message of the film, not the way it was delivered. Just how it says we should stick close to our family, the way this film brought it out was just dumb. The other tiny thing is that it made me chuckle at a few things but thats it, a few.

Now for the long list of negatives from this film. First I want to clear the air on why I actually watched this film tonight. I watched it because I wanted a comedy for once to watch, sad to find out (even though I already knew this was going to be terrible) that it killed some of my brain cells along the way. Now Jill was so annoying, and sad to say that I could tell every minute of the film that it was Adam Sandler under that big buffoned outfit. The script of this film was just downright DUMB. I feel like they were just shoving funny down our throats the whole film. I am disappointed to see that Al Pacino and Katie Holmes were in this film. Sorry, but your career must have been pretty desperate to choose this film to star in. Al Pacino and Jill's love story was just freaking WIERD!!! Ugh seriously, I mean it when I lost brain cells from this film. I will also say that some scenes in this film didn't even seem at all realistic with the sound effects or whatever. Yet they were meant to be funny, when in reality they weren't at all. This film deserves the 2/10 I gave it, probably could get away with a 1/10, but I will leave it here at 2.

All-in-all, if you want to lose some brain cells at any point in your life you can go out and buy this film because you definitely will lose some. No one in there right mind would choose to watch this film if they had to. Like with Al Pacino's TV ad at the end of the film, "Burn it, every last copy!"

Rock of Ages REVIEW

The "Motion Picture Buff" would like to present a review for the musical "Rock of Ages." For this film I would have to give it a 4/10 on my scale. This movie was absolutely ridiculous, but there were a few things that kept me somewhat interested in the film.

So lets start this review with the positives of the film. The music in this film was absolutely the greatest. I love 80's music, and this film had the best of the best from that era. I thought that some of the acting from some of the actors/actresses was very well done. For example: Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx, Julianne Hough as Sherrie, Alec Baldwin as Dennis, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Patricia Whitmore. Those were the only things I really liked about this film.

Now for the negatives of this film which as by the 4/10 rating, has a lot of them. This film seemed to want to be everywhere at once. The singing didn't just stay in one place when it came to a song. They went to every story line in the film basically for every song sung. So it wasn't just one person singing a song, it was almost the whole cast. Now back on the topic of story lines, this film seemed to have a lot of them. One with Tom Cruises character, then one with Catherine's character, then one with Julianne's character, and also one with Alec's. The love stories in this film were crazy in my opinion. Two of the love stories were about a couple who just met and apparently they were in love like a blink of an eye. I do believe in love at first sight but this film just stretched its limits to far. Then the other love story came out of nowhere, but was a somewhat normal love that had developed over a time period. One other thing I had hated about this film was that there was this one lady who was in a lot of shots for some songs, but really had NO relevance.

Over all, I just felt like this movie was all over the place and didn't do it well at all. The music in this film though was absolutely excellent, along with the singing. Oh I forgot to mention that I do not know how this film was only PG-13 too, that floored me a little. Back on topic though, so all-in-all "Rock of Ages" deserves its 4/10 rating.
