Don't Breathe

                                                                Over the weekend I went to go see the film "Don't Breathe" starring Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, and Stephen Lang; the film overall left me speechless. The movie is about these three thieves Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex (Dylan Minnette), Money (Daniel Zovatto) who make money by breaking into wealthy people's homes and stealing what they can. They later on through a source hear that there is an old blind man (Stephen Lang) sitting on at least a million dollars. Their plan was to go in and take it from him; but some unexpected results has them fighting for their lives. Since I saw it in theaters it made the whole movie experience scarier, with all the surround sound, all the lights turned off, and the big screen. The movie will make you jump and cringe at the sight of the events going on. I went to go watch it with friends and we were all scared and creeped out a little bit. This movie is not so much of a horror film; but more of a thriller. At some point you think that everything is fine; but no there is still more to come. I have seen "The Call" which is also a thriller; but this is nothing like that movie, it is way more different. Just as a reminder too, the film is rated R, so this will explain why some of the actions in the film are allowed. Overall I thought the movie was good even though it was quite scary at times; but if I had the choice to go watch it again I would; because it was that good. If you are scared of films like this or don't like them I would not recommend you to go watch it.

Deadpool

   The movie Deadpool was released earlier this year so everyone should have seen it by now, and if you have not done so; you need to check it out. For myself personally I love superhero movies and this is not your average hero movie. Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) once worked as a special operative but when vicious scientist Ajax (Ed Skrein) has him transformed into Deadpool after Wade had found out about his cancer. Wade eventually meets colossus and teenage warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) who are mutants. They Wade into tracking down Ajax so Wade can get his revenge on him. The film is full of humor, action, and outrageous moments you would never expect. I really love who the casting directors chose to play Wade Wilson in the film. Ryan Reynolds has a way of making the character seem as if he is real almost. He takes on the role and puts his own twist on how Deadpool should be. I have seen the movie a couple of times and after each time, it feels as though the movie gets funnier and funnier. The jokes in the film some might find offensive; but they are hilarious. Since the film is rated R there is going to be very provocative scenes to be aware of; other than that this is a good film.

The Fast and The Furious

 For all those that like action, your going to love this movie. "The Fast and The Furious" movie with Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster; is about police officer Bryan O' Conner (Paul Walker) who has to go undercover to inspect the racing world and try to destroy it. He eventually gets caught up in the racing world with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel); throughout the film Bryan's loyalty to Dominic is going to be put to the test. My personal favorite part of the movie is the cars. The cars are elaborate withe intricate designs, lights, chrome paint, and spinners on some of the cars. Basically most of the movie revolves around cars; because it does take place in like a racing world atmosphere. Now if you watch it or if you have seen it you will notice something as soon as the first scene pops up; their clothing. Yes, their clothing looks baggy and like something  we would never wear today; but that was the style back then since the movie was released in 2001. That was the style at the time so it may look weird to us, but it probably wasn't to them, it was the norm. If you love this film then be even more excited; because there are six other movies that go with this one. These movies are a hug franchise that is for everyone. There's also rumors saying that they are gonna go all the way up to ten movies for the franchise, so only three more of the films and then that's it; but i'm not so sure so don't count me on it. The other movies from the franchise are just as good as the first or even better from my point of view; since I have seen all of them. There's even a few celebrities that you might recognize throughout not only the first film but also the other films too.

A Walk To Remember

A movie that I recently watched had me feeling really happy. The movie "A Walk To Remember" is about a girl name "Jamie Sullivan" an innocent christian girl and a popular bad boy "Landon Carter". Landon gets in trouble with the police and as one of his punishments has to participate in the school play. He then asks Jamie to help him study his lines for the play; along the way with them hanging out a lot he falls in love with her. The two then grow an attraction for each other. I'm going to stop here about what goes on in the film, I don't want to give to much away. Let's just say most of you will not enjoy the ending. The film makes it feel as if your part of their life and that you know them. It's very enjoyable, it kind of reminds you of a high school couple, but in a situation with more unexpected surprises. During the film I felt happy and excited to see what was going to come next in the story. The beginning may seem like another dumb typical high school movie, but keep on watching it gets better. Like most films, this one is also based on a book; this ones by Nicholas Sparks. I really enjoy his books each on of them are similar in some ways. They each have their own different story and their own characters. Though I highly suggest you read the book first, because there is going to be some context left out.
