American Reunion

Nine years after American Wedding, the third installment to the hit franchise, comes the much anticipated American Reunion.

The whole gang returns for the reunion, the cast members that weren’t in all the movies have returned for this one. Who would miss this right? Reunion has everything you look for in an American Pie movie…Come on it has Stifler, it has stay true to the franchise right.

American Reunion is about the gang returning to East Great Falls, Michigan for a high school reunion. The gang may have grown up, some of them may have gotten married and some may have become parents; however they are all still the immature people that we have grown to love over the years. Jim is still that guy that stuck is…Uh…Junk into pie and Michelle is still that girl from band camp that stuck that flute up her…Well you know. This movie has a reference to everything that means anything; I mean they talked about Twilight.

As great as all these kids are in this movie Jim’s Dad, played by Eugene Levy, stole the show as he does in all of them. His performance was fantastic and really a sole reason to go see this movie, really go see this movie just to see what Jim’s dad is going to do.

Now we American Pie fan know that in every movie they always make some sort of reference to Jim’s man areas, things have been stuck to it, it has been stuck in things and it’s been talked about. Well this time not only do they refer to it, they show it. That’s right people, they finally went there. On a side note Jason Biggs, who play’s Jim, was very happy about it.

I would like to make an announcement, this is one great movie to the old Pie fans and is a movie that will get new Pie fans, it was definitely worth the nine year wait I truly hope that they will make another one and if it’s as good as this one I won’t care how long it takes. It’s obviously not a movie to take your kids too, but take time out of your day and go see this movie.

Mirror Mirror Review

 Snow White seems to be the new craze in the world right now and Mirror Mirror is just one of many to cash in.

“Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” it’s the up and coming actress Lilly Collins, who was cast as Snow White, alongside big time actress Julia Roberts, who plays the evil queen. The movie is not 100% the fairy tale, with the seven dwarfs becoming the seven rebels.

After being exiled, Snow White enlists help from the seven rebels and fights to win back her bright light from the evil queen, who has taken control of the kingdom. Snow White’s love interest Prince Alcott, played by Armie Hammer, is also there to help her win back her light.   

With the Hunger Games opening the weekend before it was almost certain that Mirror Mirror would not take the number one spot, the movie opened up at number three. It grossed in 19.0 million for the weekend. The movie had been scheduled for a March 16^th release and then a June 29^th date; it had been rescheduled twice only to land n March 30^th. They would have had better luck at getting a number one spot for the weekend had they stayed with the March 16^th date.

If you’re a fan of the story than go ahead and try this movie, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Although this movie is good it is not that much of a difference from all the countless adaptation before it, which is a little bit disappointing. Aside from that it is a generally alright movie and I do recommend it for any Snow White fan; it’s based off the Brother’s Grim version of the tale.

Kids Choice Awards

March 31 was the KCA’s, sometimes I wonder what people are thinking where they put together the KCA’s. People get nominated and I am almost 100% certain that kids don’t even know who they are, so sometimes I wonder what the heck goes through their mind.

This year’s KCA’s were not that entertaining, Will Smith did his best to keep everyone laughing and he did a well enough job; however every time Smith was not on I was wonder why I even bothered to tune in. Though I must admit the winners were very surprising, there were a lot of upsets throughout the night, others were pretty obvious.

Some of the surprise were, Adam Sandler taking best actor over Johnny Depp and Daniel Radcliffe and Alvin and the Chipmunks taking best movie over Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. An obvious one was Selena Gomez taking best actress and Justin Bieber taking best male singer.

The one thing that did keep me really entertained was the mystery of who was ‘creepy voice’ the voice that was preventing Will Smith from doing a great job at the KCA’s, I spent the whole night trying to come up with people that I thought it could be. In the end it was no one I guessed, it turned out to be Celo Green which was awesome because come on, who doesn’t love Celo right? Another fun thing to see was after Taylor Lautner won for best butt kicker, he did ‘1000’ push ups and right after he was done got slimed.

The slimes for the night were done very well; the crowd in front of the stage got it bad when balloons filled with slime exploded above them. Halle Berry got a bucket of slime dumped on her when Will thought she was ‘creepy voice’. Chris Colfer got some slime right in his face when a blimp exploded and covered the young man in the green substance and Justin Bierber and Smith got the worst of it when Justin got voted as the person to be slimed. The slime came from every part of the stage and soaked the two as well as the crowd in the thick green slime.

Happy Hunger Games!

Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor.

The much loved book has finally been adapted into a much anticipated movie, opening up as the third biggest opening weekend in movie history with $155 million; only behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and the Dark Knight. The movie stared Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, this movie was 2.3 hours of nonstop fun and excitement.

A boy and a girl are selected by the Capitol from twelve districts, once chosen they must fight to survive. It’s a game of kill or be killed. Katniss takes the place of sister, so to save her of having to go through this event at such a young age.   Katniss is joined by Peeta, the boy from her district, together they head to training before the Hunger Games. Their biggest challenge comes from district 2, Cato played by Alexander Ludwig.

The movie is filled with stars like Lenny Kravits, Cinna, and Donald Sutherland, President Snow, this movie doesn’t disappoint in any form. For those fans that have read the books by Suzanne Collins will see that the movie is a very close adaptation, one of the closest book adaptations ever. If you have not read the book don’t worry, the screenplay does a very good job of having everyone understand exactly what the Hunger Games are about without the questions.

J. Lawrence’s work of the girl on fire should be raved; she took a tough role and made it look effortless, Hutcherson pulled off a believable job as Peeta as well. However as good as they were individually they were not as great together, the chemistry was a little bit off between the two. That was the smallest flaw in a phenomenal movie.

To summarize this review: Miss the Hunger Games and miss the movie of the year.

21 Jump Street Review

The hit TV show from 1987 just turned into one of the best comedies of the year, 21 Jump Street is going to leave you holding your stomach in pain from laughing so hard.

Channing Tatum throws off his normal serious role to take on the role of Jenko and Jonah Hill slims down for his part as Schmidt. The movie is written by Michael Bacall who has written other hit comedies such as, Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Project X. This movie was setup to succeed from the start with no room to fail.

The movie adaptation follows the TV show as far as young officers being sent to a high school in order to solve a crime. The movie has Jenko and Schmidt, two of the academies underachieving officers, blend into a high school in order to bring down a drug ring.

The movie opened at number one in the box office at $35 million and as of March 30^th has made $115,300.00 million worldwide, though the movie isn’t number one anymore it remains the number one movie in the world right now. The movie also had a guest appearance by the star of the TV show Johnny Depp as Tom Hanson, the same character he used to play in the TV show.

There are already talks about a sequel, having Hill and Bacall writing the screenplay this time around. Tatum and Hill are also both expected to return and star in it once more. If you’re having a bad day do yourself a favor and go see this movie, if your bored do yourself a favor go see this movie...Just do yourself a favor and don’t miss this movie please, you will leave with a smile that you will have to force off your face.
