Battle: Los Angeles

Welcome back fellow bloggers!

    The movie that we will be talking about today is, Battle: Los Angeles. Like always we will start off with predictions, storyline, characters, and finally the rating! I chose to discuss about Battle because it has to do with aliens! WHO DOESN'T FIND ALIENS INTERESTING? OBVIOUSLY NO ONE. Let's face it, if we don't die from killing ourselves, aliens will come and kill us. In addition, I would really like to see what this director thinks about aliens, and how he pictures them. Some basic information about this film, well I already told you but just in case you weren't paying attention, ALIENS.

    From my point of view this movie looks like a day in the life of any other human being. They are relaxing, hanging out with friends, doing activities whether it is indoor or outdoor, but there is a twist! Suddenly, all hell breaks loose and before you know it, ALIENS are invading the earth trying to demolish everything that is around you, including people. On the poster we see people witnessing meteors and lots of destruction. I'm not sure about them but if I was in the water, I would probably freak out and get to safety A.S.A.P. Instead we see that they are still in the water, watching gracefully pretending like the meteors are big butterflies......embarrassing. I predict that this movie will take place in Los Angeles because it says so in the title, but other than that I'm predicting that some people will survive........?

    Basically the storyline is about a retired marine that comes back into the army to help another marine as they fight off the strange forces attacking Los Angeles. Im not too sure how I can explain more about the storyline without giving it away, so I guess you'll just have to watch it!

    Now onto the character of this film. In this film, Aaron Eckhart plays the main character Sgt. Michael Nantz. I personally think that this is a strange fit in characters but I guess I'll have to see the movie. Michael Nantz played "Two Face" in the Dark Knight, and this character was evil! So, my point is I have only seen this person star as an antagonist, and never a protagonist. Some of the themes in this movie include sci-fi, action, thriller, and adventure. This content might not be suitable for younger ages as it shows pretty scary stuff in the eyes of a young one. This movie definitely falls in sci-fi and thriller because it is talking about ALIENS, and really  we have no "intel" in human history that explains them in detail. The rating of the film is 7 out of 10, PG 13. I think that this score is perfect for this movie, just because there are not any big actors in this film, but it doesn't mean I don't like the story! Overall, I think this will be an interesting movie.

Thanks for listening!

Limitless

Welcome back movie fans!

    Today we will be discussing about the movie Limitless. As usual we will begin with Predictions, then the storyline, Characters, Themes, and finally the Rating. I chose to pick this movie today because the first post was about animation, the second was about thriller, so I decided to mix it up and throw in some action! Some basic information you should know about this film is that the main character is Bradley Cooper, and he is one funny guy!

    After looking at the movie poster, I predict that this movie will be about a wealthy man that parties all the time, and is at the top of the world. I think that maybe this movie will be split up into three categories, because the poster is cut into three parts. The first part seems to show that this man is having a blast, whether it is with the ladies, a nice sports car, or playing poker. The second part shows that the man is reaching his climax of fun, and is a bit bored of it all. The third part shows a man about to jump of a building! Well as you can see this might turn out to be a very interesting movie because there is such a big change up of emotions. I also predict that there will be drugs involved in this movie because of the blurry effects put on the poster. Usually the street lights and color are not smudging around in your perspective unless you are intoxicated. Now the title "Limitless" definitely tells another story. When people think about this word I presume they think about unreachable destinations, or something that can never be achieved. I think that Limitless really means there is NO LIMIT to what something can be, do or become. Anyways these are just the predictions we have the real storyline coming up next.

    Basically, this movie is about a writer that is on the brink of getting fired because he slacks, and can't get his book done. Out of the blue, he meets an old friend that introduces him to a NEW drug that enhances the human mind. Some people believe that humans today can only use about twenty percent of their brain power, and what this drug does is it lets you use your whole 100% of your brain power. This of course lets the writer, Eddie Morra become superhuman. This new life begins to take over, and before Eddie knows it, he is rich, famous, smart, confidant, and in his mind, unstoppable. However, drugs do have side effects. Eddie begins to lose his mind, and his supply of this drug is beginning to run low. On top of all this, there are people that want Eddie because like any field of business, people want to be at the top. Danger now lies ahead of Eddie as he must escape the forces that are trying to kill him.......... -So there is the basic picture of the story.

   Bradley Cooper stars in this film as the book writer. He is one of my favourite actors because he is funny, stylish, and he makes the movie talk to you. Bradley was born on January 5th, 1975 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He also starred in the movie The Hangover, and soon enough there will be a Part 2 to the movie, which I am VERY EXCITED TO SEE. In addition to Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro also stars in this movie. Robert was born on August 17, 1942, in New York City. Some of my favourite movies with Robert De Niro in them are, Meet the Parents, and Meet the Fockers.

   The themes of this movie include mystery, thriller, and action. I think that this movie is considered mysterious because  we are always wondering what will happen next. I predict that there will be a lot of scenes where Eddie Morra is running away from the forces that want to take his gift away because the trailer above really sets the tone about the people that are after him. The rating of this film is 7 of out 10, PG 13. I personally think it is a 7.5 out of 10 because I am interested in this storyline, and I really wish to find out what happens in the end.

The Adjustment Bureau

Hey bloggers it's time for post number 2!

    Today we will be talking about the movie The Adjustment Bureau. Like the first blog, we will begin with predictions, then the storyline, then characters, themes, and finally the rating.Some interesting information about the film is it's got romance, even though its a thriller/sci-fi kinda movie......I hope you enjoy!

    From my point of view I predict that this movie will be about a middle-class, working man that ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time witnessing something he was not supposed to witness. I believe that he will find his wife, and run away from the people that want to kill him, and his family. In the poster we can see that there are shadows of people on the buildings, why is that? Well I think theses shadows represent the people that are after the man! If you pay close attention, you can see that they are wearing hats, and trenchcoats. This type of clothing is mainly seen on business people, and government agents. The facial expressions given off by the charaters indicate that they are scared, and that they want no part in whatever is going on! Hopefully the woman in this movie wont be running, and jumping over things with high-heels on because if she does, well she diserves an award. The background image of this movie poster has a lot of buildings, therefore I think that this movie will take place somewhere in New York! -Predictions

    Okay well basically a man named David Norris is a politician. He is closer to winning the seat in the US Senate than ever, and he meets a ballet dancer Elise Sellas. He finds out about a government force that changes the fate of the future, and this does not please the Adjustment Bureau as the movie would call it. And so, the men of the Adjustment Bureau are sent on a mission to keep apart the two lovers. In the end David must choose between being with the woman of his dreams or living a fake life. Personaly, I believe that once you do meet your life partner you will do anything to be with them. In this case I think that Mr. Norris will choose the right decision and be with his true love forever. How does this storyline relate to our society today? In our society today many people don't believe in fate, and this movie shows that even though your fate may be determined for you, in the end you are the one that has to choose to live it or make your own. However, some people wake up everyday believing that something special will happen to them. This is a very good attitude towards life, because believing that something will happen to you is as good as making something happen.



    Now on to the characters of the film. David Norris is played by Matt Damon. I think that Matt Damon was a good choice for this movie because he looks like a political guy. Damon has been starred as very important characters, and also main character of very inspirational films such as Invictus, The Bourne Trilogy, The Ocean's Saga and many more. He makes the movies that he's in very intense because of his way of speaking, I think. Also, it's very interesting so look at things in life because you can never really tell if something that is present could, would, should be any better if given different circumstances. So I guess like the overall storyline, fate is never predetermined, but instead you need to figure it out yourself.

    The themes of this movie include, romance, action, thriller, and sci-fi. Many of the scences of the movie involve running, car chases, and possibly explosions. I think that this movie did an interesting job of choosing theme attributes to mix them up together because you don't usually see romance, and action together! Other than that, I can't really think of anything else to say about themes! The overall rating of the film is 7.2/10, PG-13. I would personally give it 8/10 because the soundtrack of the trailer makes the movie seem very intetesting, and some of the special effects look awesome aswell. I also think that this movie could work really well if you wanted to just watch a movie with a friend or somthing like that. All in all, a good movie.

RANGO

Hey bloggers and movie fans!

    This is the first blog post of "movieswdf", and we will be talking about the movie Rango. First off, we will begin with predictions, then the storyline, then Characters. After we will talk about themes, and finally the rating. Some basic animation about this film is that it is animation, and fiction!
    So, from my point of view, I predict that this movie will be very fun, interesting and humorous. If you look at the movie poster above, you can see that there is a lizard holding a fish. I can already tell that this movie will be humorous because of the expression on Rango the lizard's face. The fact that the lizard is holding a fish implies that he is lost, alone, and very curious about himself. Also, in the background you can see a town with a lot of different reptiles, mamals, and even amphibions. Most of the expressions given off from the characters however, look very serious. These are my main predictions but I think that this movie will be about a lizard trying to find its own identity.

    Now that the predictions are over, time for the storyline. In short, Rango is a chameleon that winds up in a town called "Dirt". In this town, many problems present themselves to the townspeople because the sheriff doesn't really know how to do his/her job. I believe that this storyline is realted to our society today because many people struggle to find out who they are and what they want to do with their life. As a chameleon, you need to blend into you surroundings because it is your lifestyle, as humans we need to make everyday choices for the greater good of mankind. As you can see, Rango isn't just an animated film about a chameleon.

    Equally important, the Characters of this film. Rango is played by Johnny Depp. Other than Rango, Depp has been many important characters over the past decade! He starred in Pirates of the Carribean, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Tourist, Alice in Wonderland, and many more. I think that Depp was the perfect actor for the character Rango because like the curious chameleon, Depp is odd, funny, dramatic, and bold. The themes of this movie are adventure and action. The whole movie is really a place to place adventure for the chameleon. There are long journeys, missions and funny parts that make this so entertaining. The action part of this movie is not big explosions, or teeth rattling knock-outs but things like eagles trying to eat little animals!

    The actual rating of this film is 7.7/10 and it is rated PG. My personal ratings are 8.5/10. I chose to give this movie a 8.5 because I think that it is a very good movie. Its perfect for a family night movie, it's interesting, funny, and kids will love it. The animation part of this movie is absolutely amazing, and the special effects are cool aswell. All in all it is a cool movie!

Thanks!
