A Million Ways to Die in the West

Seth McFarlane is a very talented man because he directed the great movie Ted and Family Guy.  However, this was a poorly written film that really only had a few humorous points.

Albert (McFarlane) is a sheep farmer that is always in trouble. He also is dating a girl who is played by Amanda Seyfried.  She suddenly decides that she doesn't want to pursue any further relationship with McFarlane, so she starts dating a snob, who is played by Neil Patrick Harris.

When Anna (Charlize Theron) comes home, her husband, Clinch (Liam Neeson) is the most feared gunfighters in the West.  And so, from here, the movie takes off.

I am sorry to say that I only gave this movie 1/4 stars.

Maleficent

Angelina Jolie comes in to Maleficent ready for action and she doesn't disappoint all, she comes in with high-energy and a real effort into something different with this sometime misunderstood villain from sleeping beauty and she does an excellent job in her performance.

This is a story of princes Aurora (Elle Fanning) becomes cursed at her christening by Maleficent who confronts her into the sleep. And just like all the stories only is forever through love can bring her to life. Suddenly here comes Prince replaces is right on her lip but nothing happened at all Maleficent feels is legally guilty as she looks upon the body of the the passed away Princess. She goes over and kisses the princes on for the last time, suddenly she comes out of  slumber the she in.

Maleficent is brilliantly movie to look at the highly recommend it.  Jolie and Elle Fanning among so good in their roles, and   probably nominated for the year movie awards.

The problem with this film is the script writing Linda Woolverton who promise them completely different story but it doesn't happen. This is hopefully a script that wasn't approved by her but by the Disney Corporation because this story is the same thing and that all they came out in 1959. The family met all on the Corporation for remember this and is the Disney whatever they say is once put on the screen.


Like I said before the look of the movie is amazing, Jolie and Fanning are terrific tremendous and their role but I just wanted more out of overall script but it just didn't make it. But I still gave this movie three out of four stars.

Blended

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore has starred in two great movies the Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates and I love those movies. And I love the chemistry between these two stars is incredible to watch because their first two movies were just the pleasure to watch. The other again with a movie called Blended.
Jim (Sandler) and Lauren (Barrymore) are hooked up to go out on their first date and the first date is at Hooters. And it turns out to be a complete disaster because Jim and Lauren call their friends to get out of this date. Once they hit home they don't want to ever go out on another date for the rest of their lives even though it was completely said in a joking matter.

Lauren is a divorce single-parent with two kids, and Jim is a man who lost his wife around five years ago and has three daughters to keep in line.

Lauren is offered a plane fly to Africa with her family for one week since her best friend (Wendi McClenon-Covey) can go because they break up with each other, but Jim also has the same idea because he works for the owner of the Dick’s Sporting-Goods and he also sells them this tickets. So all seven of them travel to Africa but they don't know that till they arrive to their arrival stop.

Jim becomes closer with Lauren two sons who attached to them completely by the end of the trip, and she is moving closer with his three girls. And that means that Jim and  Lauren are getting closer as well and that he is completely forgotten that first horrible date they just went on. Everything was going great film and they have a surprise dinner that was all planned by Jim and Lauren is so surprised by this wonderful gesture that he has provided. But when they're about to kick this Jim backs away right before it's about to be done and Lauren doesn't understand what's going on.

Once a they arrived at home their life continues but Jim decides to get dressed up and go and visit Lauren, but once he arrives her ex-husband answers the door and once that happens he doesn't even think about coming over. But he comes to Lauren son's baseball game with his daughters looks like everything is going to be perfect in their lives. And once the Lauren explains everything to Jim everything seems to be perfect in this wonderful ending story.

Sandler and Drew Barrymore are perfect in their roles together in this movie, and I hope they make more movies together and I think they probably will.  And I think this movie is as good as the first two once again I write this movie 3 1/2 out of four stars. 

X-Men: Days Of Future Past

The latest X-Men feature I think the best out of all of these terrific feature films. Prof. Xavier (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) all come together once again to battle the Sentinels.

Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) and Bishop (Omar Sy) and the ability to help their team go back and forth in time. Xavier has an idea to send Wolverine back during the days when the Sentinels were created, and once he agrees being transported in time a Kitty Pryde. Wolverine has the task of going back in time to talk to both Prof. Xavier and Magneto in their younger years to see the they will all work together even after the aftermath of the last X-Man movie where they ended as enemies.

With his ability to heal quickly Wolverine is has to go back in time is has to go back in time, and destroy the Sentinels, and these lifelong enemies back together again because when they started out they were good friends.

They must all put their powers together to go after Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) please out to assassinate Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) the creator of the sentinels being the set well conquer the earth once they're unleashed. Remember in the last movie they are all good friends concluding their friendship with mystique who lived this Prof. Xavier and he was on hand to try to help her with all the energy she has built up inside her.

Bishop, Quicksilver, Blink, Sun Spot, and others all comprise the world of the X-Men. That combined with Wolverine, Mystique, and classic Prof. Xavier play brilliantly by James McElroy, as a young played by him and Michael Fassbender are all great in their challenging roles they make an exhibition come alive so brilliantly.

Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Lawrence was and replies in their roles and everything else coming back as well made this movie is spectacular treat to observe because the acting was fantastic, the direction was excellent, and action scenes was outstanding as well. All that combined together makes sense of four out of four stars movie I love it every second of this movie that's why I gave it so many stars.


This movie also comes in the 3-D format I really scenes that much difference between 3-D and regular vision. I would just go in and enjoyed this movie that has a lot to add to your viewing enjoyment.

Her

A heartbroken and writer played by Joaquin Phoenix develops a unique relationship on the computer and sees only known as Samantha brilliantly played by Scarlett Johansson.

I think this is one of the best movies of 2013 the acting is spectacular including the performances of Joaquin Phoenix , Amy Adams and Scarlett Johansson who are all amazing and their parts and I would urge everyone to go out and rent this wonderful movie.

Spike Jones both wrote and directed this wonderful movie that I couldn't say enough of. Once again I urge everyone to go out and rent this movie and a party seen it watch it again is worth it.


I gave this wonderful movie four out of four stars

I, Frankenstein

Frankenstein's creature played by Aaron Eckardt gets caught in the middle of gargoyles and demons who wage war for the souls of mankind. I thought the action in this role was quite amazing and movie started out and I love it every second of it but suddenly the movie slows way down in the case also slowed way down. The movie also stars even on Yvonne Strahovski who also uses star on Chuck  series  used air on NBC. And I thought she was fantastic in a role as was Aaron Eckardt who played Frankenstein but overall I was left kind of wanting more.

Once again there are some great action scenes in this movie but none of them hold off to a really lousy written story.


I gave this story two out of four stars.

Mom's night out

Ally played by Sarah Drew who plays a mom who also works online and she wants to be heard from the public. She's married to her husband played by Sean Astin who is always on the road traveling, and she's barely taking care in of her family as well. Once again she just wants to writer, low about her real life existence and our she balances everything out. 
Astin once his wife to just go out on the town with their girlfriends go out and have a great time just hanging out with friends. I agrees to take  Izzy (Logan White) and pastors wife played by Patricia Heaton all gather to go out on the town. That advances agrees to stay home and take care of the kids with his best friend who also has children.

Then everything goes off-track where the men that have lost control of their children, and the women and  lost the reservation a beautiful restaurant. And then one incident after another affected the man and the women and it turns out to be not a real funny movie. There are lots of possible highlights in this film that another really comes about and I was totally disappointed by this film.

Once again I went in to movie thing again it would be a decent thing to watch but this wasn't one of them that I gave this movie one and a half out of four stars.
