SYNOPSIS: A man inherits the house of his uncle who passed away which contains 12 ghosts. RATING: 6.5/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I remember that I loved this movie when I was young but now that I watched it again, it wasn't super amazing but it was still good. It was scary because some of the ghosts were really violent. I would have loved it more if each of the background of the ghosts were told in the movie. Things escalated pretty quickly. The story was fast paced and interesting.
I felt bad for Dennis. Even though it was his fault that the ghosts were captured, he only wanted his share of money and he tried to help the others escape. He even died saving Arthur.
Cyrus is an asshole. He led his relatives to die just so he can gain knowledge.
I felt bad for Arthur's family when they found out that Jen was there. They were all heartbroken by her loss but I loved that she tried to save them from the other ghosts.
Ben was to blame for the things that happened. He was greedy and trapped everyone in the house. I'm glad that he died.
Maggie was the best nanny ever. She saved everyone in the end even though she wasn't really supposed to be there.
SHREK
SYNOPSIS: Shrek agrees to rescue Princess Fiona in order to get his swamp back. RATING: 8/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I really enjoyed watching this film. The humor was amazing. It made me laugh out loud. There was depth to Shrek's character and Donkey was annoying at some parts but at some he was really fun. I also liked that it made fun of other fairytales and that it has it's own beauty standards. Plus, the songs are fun.
I love the puns regarding Lord Farquaad's height.
I love the romance between Shrek and Fiona because she fell for him even though he is an ogre. She didn't care for her appearance after she turned into an ogre because she loved Shrek.
Donkey is a wonderful friend to Shrek. Sure, he is annoying at times but he accepted Shrek for who he is and did not judge him.
I love the scene where it was pointed out that Donkey is colorblind.
I found it funny that the dragon devoured Lord Farquuad.
SHREK 2
SYNOPSIS: Shrek and Princess Fiona get invited to visit her parents in the kingdom of Far Far Away. RATING: 7.8/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I liked the first movie more but I still enjoyed watching this one. The humor was still amazing especially in the beginning. The story involving Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming was interesting. Puss was a wonderful addition to the cast. I'm glad the Fiona's father and Shrek got along.
I found the scene where Fiona threw Ariel back to the ocean really funny.
Donkey was really adorable but kind of annoying when they were on the way to Far Far Away. I felt bad for Shrek and Fiona.
Julie Andrews as the Queen was amazing.
It was adorable and funny when Donkey was transformed into a horse. He was fabulous there.
Poor the giant gingerbread man. He lost his arms and fell to the river.
I was glad that Harold understood his daughter and decided not to make her drink the tea and that he sacrificed himself to save Shrek.
Omg the dragon-donkey babies! They are so cute but how did that even happen.
SHREK 3
SYNOPSIS: Shrek went out on a journey to find the next heir to the kingdom of Far Far Away while Prince Charming plans his revenge. RATING: 7/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW: This is the Shrek movie that I liked least. It's still fun and enjoyable but not as much as the first ones. One of the reasons for that may be because I don't like Prince Charming and I don't care what happens to him. Plus, Arthur is not really that interesting. Still, I liked the scene where the princesses were shown.
It was funny seeing Shrek try to be royalty when he was a regent. It sucks that things didn't work out there.
I loved the princesses and I loved Doris the most. She was funny. I also liked that Queen Lilian headbutted the walls to escape their prison.
I loved the scene where Snow White uses the animals to attack the guards.
Omg Rapunzel is a traitor and is bald.
I loved that Artie managed to convince the villains to change their ways. It's like seeing Rapunzel (Tangled version).
SHREK FOREVER AFTER
SYNOPSIS: Shrek decides to make a deal with Rumplestilskin so that he could get a break from his family. RATING: 8/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW: This movie was better than Shrek 3. It was hilarious but with a dark twist. It was very interesting to see an alternate version of events from the first movie. I managed to see the characters in a new perspective and it was fun. Seeing Shrek and Fiona's interactions in the alternate version made me fall in love with their relationship all over again.
The scene where the kid kept saying 'Do the roar!' was really fun and annoying.
It was amazing seeing Shrek try to befriend Donkey since Donkey didn't trust him in the beginning. You could see how much Donkey's friendship meant to him.
It was funny that Puss was very fat in the alternate version. He was so cute and fluffy.
It was very entertaining to see that Fiona managed to free herself but it was terrible that it was at the cost of true love. I'm glad that Shrek managed to make her fall in love with him all over again. He was willing to sacrifice himself for Fiona's cause which was amazing.
The scene where Pied Piper made the ogres dance was really fun.
I'm glad that Shrek was able to appreciate his family and friends after his experience.
THE HITMAN'S BODYGUARD
SYNOPSIS: A professional bodyguard was assigned to protect a hitman that he loaths. RATING: 9/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I really had an amazing time watching this. It was really funny and full of action. The interactions between Michael and Darius were hilarious. I like that they managed to set aside their differences and work together. They even bonded.
PS: Children should not be allowed to watch it because it's full of cursing.
The romance between Sonia and Darius was hilarious.
I loved the scene where Michael was thrown out of the car after he didn't wore a seatbelt.
It was funny and endearing that Darius killed Dukhovich because Dukhovich shot Michael.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
SYNOPSIS: Andy, a simple and smart girl, was hired as an assistant to a demanding editor-in-chief of a well-known fashion magazine. RATING: 6.3/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I don't really get the point of the whole movie. Sure, it was entertaining to see Andy rose up and get recognition from Miranda who is really demanding but what really is the point? Don't be ambitious? Focus on caring more about yourself and not what others want you to be? Don't be a bitch? Anyway, the cast was amazing. Anne Hathaway was really beautiful and the outfits she wore throughout the movie were stunning. Meryl Streep was scary as Miranda. She nailed it. I loved Stanley Tucci's character. He was really supportive towards Andy. He helped her a lot and it sucked what happened to him.
I don't like what happened to Andy's relationship with her friends and boyfriend. Sure, it may be her fault for following Miranda's every whim but they could have tried to understood her more.
It wasn't fair that Emily blamed Andy for the Paris thing because sure she got replaced but Miranda threatened to fire Andy if she didn't come.
I don't like the Christian character. He was just there to seduce Andy or something. Sure, he helped her but still nah.
I'm glad that Andy managed to free herself from the Runway industry. She made a choice to free herself and do what she really wants.
BABY DRIVER
SYNOPSIS: A young man was forced to be the getaway driver of several crimes. RATING: 8.5/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I really liked this movie. The main thing to know is that it doesn't focus on the heists. The story was very entertaining to watch. The cinematography and the car scenes were amazing. I loved the songs that were used. My friend described the movie as a big music video and it seems like it was true. I love how the story panned out. It kept me on the edge of my seat.
I love seeing Baby and Joseph's scenes. They were adorable together and I loved seeing how much they cared for each other.
I liked Doc's character in the end because he helped Debora and Baby. Still, he was the main reason that they had to go through that.
I still don't get why Miles decided to use the name Baby as his nickname. It's kind of disturbing and weird.
I really find Eiza Gonzalez pretty and Jon Hamm handsome.
Jamie Foxx as Bats was amazing because you would really be scared of how crazy he is. I'm glad that he wasn't the main villain in the end. That would have made things predictable.
I felt bad for Darling's death because Buddy was really heartbroken.
