Now You See Me

 

Directed by: Louis Leterrier

Starring:

Jesse Eisenberg as D. Michael Atlas

Morgan Freeman as Thaddeus Bradley

Mark Ruffalo as Detective Hobbs

Isla Fisher as Hennley

Dave Franco as Jack Wilder

Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney 

Oh you'd never guess the twist in this movie. Haha!! I bet no one did. 

 

 

'Always be the smartest one in the room'

What a neat trick Michael Atlas! Jesse Eisenberg is so perfect for arrogant, smart-ass roles. He suits them so much! The talking fast, know it all act is something he has definitely mastered. Hoorah! Well thinking about it kind of versatile. He can also do the shy type, never been kissed roles like in Zombieland and Adventureland. (haha both titles got the word land in them) Right? Well he's adorable and applause to him!

Seriously. The closer you look....

The less you will see. 

Overall though the movie was pretty good. Pretty spectacular cause of the neat tricks and all that, the secrecy in everything and the mysteriousness in why they are doing all of those. They certainly weren't in it for the money but for the fame, success and just purely to entertain the crowd. The story though was a little bit too short? Well for me it was. It lacked the "story" itself in the movie that it needed a little bit more details on how it leads to the end. I mean we all got why all those happened, connecting this in that but it really lacked that umph in it.

But still great actors in one film so who would not want to see it? Plus their trailer is just amazeballs! 

 

On this scene gosh. What a neat trick! Dave Franco definitely did a great action scene here. Bravo to you. You do look handsome by the way hihi. With that slight cowboy -ish accent of your. Rarr!

 We are the four horsemen and goodnight!

(I can always here Isla Fisher's voice standing out when the four of them say this haha!)

Movie Review: The Call

The Call

Directed by: Brad Anderson

Starring:

Halle Berry as Jordan Turner

Abigail Breslin as Casey Welson

Michael Eklund as Michael Foster

What a thriller! This just kept me on the edge of my seat which was good for me. H a h a. The story itself was pretty interesting since the start but the pacing was pretty fast. It kinda lacked details on knowing more about the lead character which is Jordan Turner played by Halle Berry.

In this film she plays the L.A.P.D. 911 call responder and she's great at her job but something unfortunate comes her way which traumatized her and made her quit her job. Halle Berry for me is still the Catwoman haha! But Anne Hatthaway also played a great job in the Dark Knight as Catwoman. What an impressive role they both played. Thumbs up!

I have seen this girl in a couple of films where she acts all bitchy and stuff but job well done!! She played her role so well though she looks so mature now! What a big change haha. But as to her acting she was really good :) She kinda reminds me of Emma Roberts 

Though the ending of the story was such a crack header. It would have been better if it was the typical okay yay you're saved but then that thing happened errrr. But oh well. Ok film :)

Movie Review: Star Trek: Into Darkness

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Directed by: J.J. Abrams

Starring:

Chris Pine as Kirk

Zachary Quinto as Spock

Zoe Saldana as Uhura

Kalr Urban: Dr. Bones

Simon Pegg as Scotty

Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan

This installment was so awesome! I felt the value of feeling, family and love for friends, mentor, family and also your lover.

I was a little bit on the edge of my seat all throughout the film. It was really entertaining and good! Nothing much to say about it or else I'd be totally spoiling (which I hate haha). A definite must watch! No connection with the first one but gotta watch the one before this installment before watching.

 
Their scene in the end just proved how much Spock could really feel and how their friendship is strong. I did hope that gfdsagdsf died in the end cause it was such a great exit already but then again twistidy twist!

Anton Yelchin is such a cutie patootsie! I love him and his character! He is such a jittery panick-er and it makes him so much more adorable! He's also cute looking hihi. Love him especially in Fright Nigh. Hottie much?

Zoe Saldana's role in the movie was pretty brief but good job! Her and Spock do make a kinda good couple hehe

Movie Review: The Butterfly Room

The Butterfly Room

Directed by: Jonathan Zarantonello

Starring:

Barbara Steele as Ann

Erika Leerhsen as Claudia

Ellery Sprayberry as Julie

Julia Putnam as Alice

 

What a waste of time and money! This was such a bad movie. I did not like it AT ALL. CORNY is the perfect word to describe it. 

The film was all about a mother obsessing on children that she just want them to not grow old especially for her daughter, Olga. So then her daughter got all traumatized and when she grew old she moved out. So the mother lived in an apartment and she suddenly had a neighbor who had a teenage girl and they kinda grew close and that's when the mysteriousness and weirdness showed. No spoiling I guess but then that's just the main story and it's like 'history repeats itself' thing.

Movie Review: The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia

The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia

Directed by: Tom Elkins

Starring:

Abigail Spencer as Lisa Wyrick

Emily Alyn Lind as Heidi Wyrick

Chad Michael Murray as Andy Wyrick

Katee Sackhoff as Joyce

 

This movie was pretty ok. The story is pretty realistic since it is based on a true story but there was not much thrill with the movie. It's kinda predictable and light. Didn't really suite my taste in horror films. 

 

Good thing Chad Murray's given another job in the movie industry! It has been too long since he had a film and all that acting haha! Though the daddy role did not really suit him but oh well

This little girl is such a great actress! I first saw her as little Amanda Clark in the television series Revenge and she is just adorable and great! I bet this little girl will definitely be more famous in the future. I do hope she be given more roles in a big film.

Over-all just a fine movie. It was a just to kill time to watch movie. Nothing special or anything more.

Movie Review: Olympus Has Fallen

Directed by: Antoine Fuqua

Starring:

Gerard Butler as Mike Banning

Aaron Eckhart as President Asher

Morgan Freeman as Speaker Trumbull & Acting President

Absolutely brilliant and thrilling! An action filled movie that is a must see. Kinda brutal that is why it is rated R-13 but what the heck! A still must watch especially if you are a dude you would definitely enjoy this film.

Okay so this movie just kept me on my bottoms the whole time! So much action and you just want to stare at Gerard Butler and hope he shows his perfectly built, muscular behind! hihi. And damn how he moves! He is perfect for action film. I was actually for hoping for him to flash his perfectly built muscular behind! It is so perfect his girlfriend Madalina Ghenea is way too lucky!!!

Gerard Butler's character in this film is so smart and slightly cocky at the same time. He loves working in the White House and he would do just anything to keep the job and keep the safety of President Asher and his family and of course the United States of America. Though Aaron Eckhart as the President of the United States does not really suit him (well for me). I still kinda see him as the villain in every film like in The Dark Knight. He just seems like he has the anti-superhero a.k.a. bad guy look! But job well done in portraying his character.

There are some parts that need something kaboom-ing but still!! What a great film.  I won't go to deets anymore but I definitely love this film and recommending it to everyone!

Star Rating: 8 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ out of 10 ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
