SYNOPSIS: Norah meets Nick in a bar and asks for him to pretend to be her boyfriend for 5 minutes. RATING: 5/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I didn't really like this movie. The cinematography was alright and so is the story but I felt nothing for the characters. I didn't particularly enjoying the casts because I think that they aren't suited for high school character roles (probably because I just watched this now and I keep thinking of their current roles). I felt nothing for Nick and Norah together especially since the story just lasts for a whole night and it seems absurd to fall in love in such a limited time (especially since it's only just a few hours because it's a movie). Plus, I really didn't think that the music was the main focus of the movie. Still, I loved Nick's friends. They were hilarious.
I loved how supportive Nick's friends are towards him moving on. They really disliked Tris and I could see why. She was a bitch. I was glad that Nick left her on the road.
I was cringing every time they passed the bubblegum that Caroline dropped in the toilet. It was so disgusting and I don't understand why they kept eating it all throughout the night.
It was weird seeing Jay Baruchel as a asshole type character because I kept thinking about him as a nerd/geek in the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
KING ARTHUR: THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD
SYNOPSIS: A retelling of the story of King Arthur. RATING: 7.8/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
You should not watch this movie when you are sick. Everything moves too fast. Just kidding. The movie was great. The cinematography, effects, and background music were amazing. To be honest, I don't really like the story of King Arthur and Merlin but I was intrigued by this movie. Their version is an interesting one and seeing it unfold was very entertaining. Plus, there were funny moments too.
It was interesting to see Roose Bolton (Game of Thrones) here and he wasn't really a bad guy which was shocking. Even Baelish was here and he also wasn't a bad guy.
I was very devastated when the girls from the brothel were killed by Vortigern.
Jude Law was amazing as Vortigern. He was scary, creepy, and powerful. Plus, his voice was amazing to hear. Vortigern was a really greedy character. He killed most of his family just to gain and power.
It was amazing that Bill could shoot an arrow that far but he managed to get Back Lack killed which was terrible.
Omg David Beckham!
The appearance of the Lady of the Lake was really creepy. Something just dragged Arthur through the mud like omg. I mean, sure she got the job done, but it was still pretty frightening.
Seeing Arthur use the overpower mode of Excalibur was amazing.
The giant snake that the Mage used was amazing and creepy at the same time.
The final confrontation felt a bit weird for me because it seemed like it occurred in a different realm.
NAOMI AND ELY'S NO KISS LIST
SYNOPSIS: Naomi and Ely, who's been friends for years, goes through a rough patch after their No Kiss List pact was violated. RATING: 8/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I really enjoyed watching this movie. It focused more on friendship, family bond, and character development. It was very entertaining and you would really care for the characters. Naomi is a bit of a bitch in the beginning but as she matured, you begin to grow fond of her. Her friendship with Ely was adorable and funny. They were really cute together. Pierson Fode was amazing as Naomi's gay bestfriend. Also, he's really handsome. Matthew Daddario is also a wonderful addition to the cast. He was handsome and adorable.
It was terrible that Bruce 2 cheated on Naomi with Ely but Naomi didn't really care for him much as her boyfriend. They could have just told her the truth. Still, it worked out for the best because Naomi began to rely on no one but herself. She began to mature and take care of herself rather than relying on Ely.
Naomi and Ely were adorable together. They were really cute and it sucked that Ely was gay.
I was glad to see that Naomi managed to get along more with other people like Robin. They were also cute together. I also like the fact that Robin is Monique Coleman (Taylor in High School Musical)
I found Naomi and Gabriel together really wonderful and adorable. I'm glad that they got together even though it kind of broke the No Kiss List too.
13 GOING ON 30
SYNOPSIS: A thirteen year old girl makes a wish on her birthday to become thirty. RATING: 8/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I really liked this movie when I was young and I still like it. The movie was entertaining and heartfelt. There were fun, cringy, and heartbreaking scenes. Jennifer Garner did a good job portraying the 30-year-old Jenna Rink. You could really see her act like she was still 13 years old. I also really love the fact that Mark Ruffalo portrayed Matty. He's an adorable man who deserved to get his happiness.
I was glad to see that Jenna found out more about what happened before she became 30 through Matty. He was able to give her a more down to earth details.
I felt terrible that Lucy stole Jenna's idea. It was a fun and innovate way for the magazine.
I was glad that Jenna realized the more important things in life like caring for your family and being nice rather than being a successful but a bitch.
I felt devastated for Jenna when she found out that Matty went through with the wedding. I was very glad that she got back to her 13 year old self and did the right thing with Matty. The ending was very adorable and wonderful to see. I'm glad that they got together and even managed to get her dream house (their house looked like the dream house that Matty built for her).
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
SYNOPSIS: Alice wanders through wonderland where everyone was waiting for her to slay the Jabberwocky. RATING: 6.8/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I have already watched this before but I didn't remember enjoying it as much. When I rewatched it, I managed to enjoy it more (since I liked the Through the Looking Glass movie very much). This movie is very entertaining but it's very weird. The cinematography is very beautiful. The way that the story panned out was kind of slow but it was interesting. I liked how the story panned out. It may have been better if Mia Wasikowska was not Alice (I really didn't like her much). On the other hand, every other cast was entertaining especially Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. I liked his dance.
Hamish is a very weird person and I am glad that Alice didn't go through with marrying him. I'm glad that Hamish's father was able to give her the freedom she wanted by letting her be his apprentice.
I liked seeing how Alice became friends with the Bandersnatch. Sure, they were the ones who stole his/her eye but it was amazing that he/she was still able to trust her afterwards and even became loyal to her.
I liked hearing that the voice of the Jabberwocky is Chistopher Lee. That's amazing.
I liked seeing Mad Hatter and Alice's interactions. They seemed to have a real bond and it was wonderful to see.
EVERYTHING EVERYTHING
SYNOPSIS: Maddy, who's not allowed to leave her home because of SCID, falls in love with her new neighbor. RATING: 5/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
The interactions between Maddy and Olly were cute and adorable but I really didn't feel much for them. I found the story quite predictable and because I kind of spoiled myself of what happened in the ending, I really didn't enjoy it. Nothing much happened all throughout the movie and some of the things that happened kind of annoyed me. Plus, the movie kind of bored me.
I was glad that Maddy had Carla. She was very kind towards Maddy and she took care of her. She wanted Maddy to be happy and supported her.
I hated Pauline. Sure, she wanted her daughter to be safe but it didn't seem like a rational person would do what she did. I'm curious as to how she could continue being a doctor without breaking down. I was glad that Maddy left her. What she did was not something you could forgive easily.
It seemed irresponsible of Maddy to go to Hawaii with a guy she just met. I mean, she knew that she could probably die, but she risked for one day of flirting?? Does not seem rational to me. Seems stupid.
MAMMA MIA
SYNOPSIS: Sophie who is about to get married tries to find her father so that he could walk her down the aisle. RATING: 8.5/10 NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:
I am truly amazed that they were incorporate many ABBA songs in the movie and it didn't feel forced. The movie was really fun. It seemed a bit weird at some points but it was very entertaining. It was very warm and cheerful to watch. The casts were amazing especially Meryl Streep. Her role her was really different from the one she had as Miranda from the Devil Wears Prada but she still nailed it. I was also amazed that the other five casts (the three maybe-dads, and Donna's friends) were also famous people. I was also amazed to see Pierce Brosnan singing. He wasn't as good as the others but it was still fun. Plus, I really like him.
It's funny that even Donna doesn't know who the real father is. I really want to know who the real father is!
If it's true that there is a sequel, I can't wait for it! Hopefully, they'll finally confirm who Sophie's true father is.
It was fun seeing Donna and Sam get married. They finally resolved their issues after all these years. It was fun seeing them got back together and knowing what happened in the past.
It was fun to see that Rosie is also Molly Weasley, Tanya is also Beverly Hofstadter, Bill is Bootstrap Bill, and Harry is the guy from Kingsman.
I really thought that each of Donna's friend would end up with her ex-lovers. It was funny that Harry was opted to be gay rather than be paired up with Tanya or Rosie.
