Django - Unchained

"Django, the D is silent..." OMG this movie was flipping amazing. Tarantino got it completely right. I don't think I could see Jamie Foxx or Leonardo Dicaprio playing any other characters. And of course Samuel L Jackson, is going to do his thing and show out. I would have it no other way. And Kerry Washington, "Miss Kerry baby!!!" She's always "Scandalous." Although I'm a really jumpy movie watcher, I managed to make it through 85% of the graphic portions. Personally I am proud of myself. This was a great one, yes indeedy. A- (minus only because I heard rap in the movie, it threw me for a little loop; but not by much).

This is 40

This is 40, wasn't too bad. It had a fair share of comedy here and there. I was expecting it to be a little more funny like it's predecessor "Knocked Up," but it was not. Um, yep that's all I have to say. C+

Les Misérables

Truly amazing. I had not been privy to the storyline before seeing Les Miserables. I did not know if I would like this movie initially, seriously they sung everything (I mean everything). Surprisingly, I was still able to follow the storyline and enjoyed every part of it. I would recommend this movie to everyone. It is full of passion, of hurt, pain, love and even a tish bit of comedic relief. A- Can't wait for this to be released to Blu-Ray, oh the behind the scene footage to be seen.

Jack Reacher

Full of action with a tish bit of mystery, Tom Cruise in my opinion pulls of a great performance in "Jack Reacher." I must say I did have my movies mixed up when I entered the theater. Purely my fault alone, when I thought this was the "Oblivion" movie that is still upcoming in the future. Needless to say I stayed and watched Jack Reacher and was glad that I did. This movie has tons of action with the right amount of "sneakiness." I loved it even though it was a tad bit predictable. B- Rock on Tom Cruise.

The Hobbitt

I'm sure I am going to be outcast for this but the Hobbitt was ok. It was entirely to long for my liking. I won't go into details, but once was enough for me.

On to the next one.

Red Dawn

My very first review. Yay!!! Red Dawn was not what I expected at all. I went to this movie on a whim and had little to no expectations other than I wanted to see lots of action. This movie did not disappoint me. The characters were true to their ages for the most part playing the high school students 17-18 year old role while having to grow up fast. The movie flowed well for me, gave a little side romance and a lot of shooting and war. Pleasantly pleased. I will give this move a B-
