Veronica Mars

On the scenes of her in law school graduation, Veronica Mars and turns once again turns amateur sleuth to get in to get her ex-boyfriend from going to prison.

And I thought this movie was so good in Kristen Bell does an excellent job at portraying Veronica Mars and the whole cast makes a comeback as well which means I love it every second of this wonderful movie. I gave this movie 3 1/2 out of four stars.

The Amazing Spiderman 2

Now the first series of Spiderman movies especially the first two were fantastic, now the third one wasn't so good because there were too many villains and it was a poorly written script as well. And then after a couple of years they started talking about making another Spiderman franchise, picking out with the first movie and they stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Emma and plays with all the Gwen Stacy which goes just like it does in the comic books, which they should've done and the first series of movies.

Director Mark Webb follows up what I thought was a terrific amazing Spiderman, but I think there's too many bad guys in this movie and the movie is too long.

The Amazing Spiderman 2 stars Peter Parker  (Andrew Garfield) is once again a complete and total hero daytime he puts on the Spiderman outfit. He is dating a beautiful valedictorian girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and they are just ready to graduate from high school. Once they graduate Parker is supposed to movie Stacy and her family to help celebrate their graduations. Parker has some desires did not attend the celebration because her father who passed away in the first movie made him promise did not include his daughter and him saying that will make her unsafe. So suddenly Parker breaks up with Stacy and they go on their separate ways.

Max (Jamie Foxx) is a techno-nerd with an ugly comb-over who suffers an accident and Oscorp the turns into Electro. The turns into a man who just wants to kill Spiderman to prove that he is the greatest villain of all time and also the that he's gone a little bit nuts as well. Spiderman and electro have a couple of awesome battles between the two of them.

Green Goblin /Harry (Dane DeHaan) is signed on board Oscorp to take over the position from his dying father. The son not only will get his father's fortune you also inherit our horrible disease the world eventually kill him. But once he gets the blood of Spiderman and everything will so then agreeing to learn is after Spiderman as well.

And then the third part of the story comes from Paul Giamatti who plays Rhino , because a lot of grunting and wailing and it's about all that he does. And once again Paul came only is one of the great actors working in today's films and he is completely wasted in this role.



Also Spiderman is still in love with Gwen Stacy and she is still in love with him, and they do get back together. So Spiderman is battling Electro, green goblin, and rhino plus the he's also trying to Gwen Stacy safe and unharmed. I saw everything is coming together in one painful drop were Spiderman is battling through the villains and particularly his girlfriend as well and the rest of the population.

And I thought this movie was half pleasurable because I thought the romance between Spiderman and Gwen Stacy is a beautiful thing to watch, also the action scenes are spectacular to view as well. Now the other side of the story is the fact that this movie is to long and the fact that Foxx has very little to say and he is one of the best costumes that I've ever seen but he has nothing to say and is completely under written role. Next up the role of rhino and green goblin whets our to the roles they shouldn't have been included over crowded film.

I gave this movie 2 1/2 out of four stars I like a lot of this movie but there's a lot of parts of it I dislike it is well.


 Also I would recommend you give this in the 3-D format because watching Spiderman flying around the skyscrapers of New York City was outstanding.

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

Friends and family try to save a teenager who is frightened by supernatural forces. You know I really loved the first three paranormal activity films but now it's just the same stuff over and over again. It’s really sad. I didn't want them to make another movie but you know I'm a film critic, and this isn't the worst movie I've seen, but it's not too far away. This movie made a lot of money the first weekend and just like most horror films the second week was pivotal.  This movie isn’t going to make any money.

I give this movie one and a half out of four stars

Jackass presents: Bad Grandpa

Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) takes he's young and impressionable grandson and goes all over the country, where they pull tricks on people who don't even know they're playing a joke on them.

Now the makeup in Bad Grandpa is terrific. There are a few funny lines in this movie but not enough to fill almost an hour and 40 min, because after a while it just turns in to another show just like Jackass. I loved the first movie.


I can only give this movie one and a half out of four stars

Noah

Noah ( Russell Crowe ) gets word from God that at tidal wave is on its way. He has to gather to animals of all species, and starts constructing a vessle that will hold all of these unique creatures. A battle takes place and an arc is built, they load all the animals and themselves and go on this journey.

Emma Watson, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins and of course Russell Crowe all star in the movie. As far as this movie, it is one of the worst films that I've seen in the last 10 years.

I can't even tell you how bad Noah is. It was horribly directed and I wanted much more than I got. The only reason I'm giving this one star is because of the Arc. I give this horrible movie one out of four stars.

Bears

Disney has made great movies about the earth, gorilla, chimpanzees, and lions. I think that these are important subjects. Now comes Bears and I think this one's the best one I've seen so far. Yes I have to admit, I love bears, I love the fact that they can kill you in instant, they're so cute and it looks like you could just play with them forever.

The movie stars a single Bear mom named Sky. She is in hibernation with her two baby cubs named Scout and Amber.  They go on a journey to find food and safety because remember she is a single mother and she has to protect these two young cups. There are a lot of battles with predators and fun things between Sky and her cubs.

I thought Bears was one of the most enjoyable films that I've seen all year. These are very lovable creatures. They filmed everything with two cameras and risked danger because humans are viewed by creatures as enemies.
I hope people will go see this movie because it’s highly educational and a lot of fun to watch. And I think Disney does an amazing job showing the good things about animals in the world.


I give this movie 3 1/2 out of four stars.

Transcendence

Johnny Depp is one of the best actors working today. No matter if he's playing a pirate, a scientist or just walking on the street, he always turns in the top notch performance. Depp plays a brainy individual and once again I love him in this part.

Depp plays Dr. Will Carter, a renowned scientist, who’s married to Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) another scientist. Their dream is to build a special independent network that transcends of all the problems in the physical world. At the encouragement of his wife Evelyn, Carter makes a speech to the public about all of their findings and to encourage people to agree on what the future holds. Dr. Carter gets done with this speech and is signing autograph, when he is shot by an assassin. He iss rushed to the hospital and it turns out there was no physical damages.

Dr. Carter returns home from the hospital the just goes straight to bed. But he wakes up he ends up in the bathroom with something wrong.  Evelyn decides to take him to the hospital because something is not right and they discover that yes they did remove the bullet, but  poison has run all through his body. They tell him he only has one month to live. Carter then just wants to get out of the hospital.

In a month Dr.Carter passes away, but he has all of his scientific work stored in a computer, where he feels he can return to life through the technology phase.
Kate Mara whose character runs the RIFT organization is wonderful in her role, I like the fact that somehow she makes sense but  she's out of control. They are being chased by Morgan Freeman another pioneer researcher and an FBI agent played by Cillian Murphy who starred as Scarecrow in the latest Batman series.

I thought that Trancendence was not  well directed. Wally Pfister will probably direct better movies but you never know. I thought that Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Kate Mira, Rebecca Hall and Cillian Murphy are all okay but this is a terribly written script.

I give this movie two out of four stars
