Hanna 2011

A 16-year-old who was educated by her father in the outcast of Europe to be the perfect assassin.  While being tracked down by a CIA agent and her operatives.  I believe this was one of the movies of 2011 that was hyped up than when you see the movie it basically felt like a letdown.
When I went to saw this movie trailer it was amazing thinking it would be like HITMAN with Timothy Oliphant where the story and the concept would draw you in wanting to know more about the lead actor in the movie and the history.  Hanna accomplishes some of that but at the end it left you wondering and confused.  And then the movie hit a curve and went in a total direction of science fiction movie Species.

The little girl was running away from the CIA agent and then finding out that her father is not her father.  Suddenly it ended really fast, people dies and my conclusion was how they could make this movie better if they are planning a second film. This movie is a big disappointment for me due to the fact I was so hyped to see it. The cast was great, brilliant acting but the dilemma was in the concept.

Kung Fu Panda

The Movie Kung Fu Panda 2 was one of the animated films this year that just wasn’t as exciting the second time around.  Was incapable of bagging the unique feeling you sense from the characters and the sparkle that the characters portrayed in the first film.   

The concept in this movie depended more on the action thrills/scenery.   This movie although started very slow for me, it had some things I could appreciate.  The animation was very good, action packed, and the comedy.  The movie was improved due to sensible and well-adjusted pieces of comical events.  The action sequences were great, amazing, and superb conserving an effortless animated style continuing the energy, drive and interest in the movie.

The cast for the movie was brilliant; their voices were well defined for each character.  This made it more enjoyable to just watch the animated characters.  Like I said Kung Fu panda 2 wasn’t as good as the first movie, but wasn’t a total wasted.  If you want a family movie to watch this film can be a good choice.

Arthur 2011

This weekend , I really wanted a movie that would make me laugh and since I was watching old stand up shows of Russell Brand on Youtube. I thought I would just go and see the film Arthur.


 As seen in the trailers.   Arthur is a alcoholic playboy, who was black mail by his mother ( he would have to marry Susan and gain his wealthy inheritance) a woman he doesn’t like and totally isn’t attracted to.  Meanwhile, he falls in love with a common woman. In the main-time he would try to juggle a relationship between both women and in the end would have to decide Love over wealth.
I thought this movie was amazingly brilliant. The cast which include Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, Greta Gerwig, and Jennifer Garner was great in every way and the acting skills was impressive.  The writing was well done especially the humor was never lost, right on point.

The scenes of New York City was beautiful and the scene of Grand Central Station at night, I love it.
 The showcase of jokes was brilliant never a dull moment. Some of the jokes was classy well others you probably never forget. But don’t get me wrong the reason I love Arthur isn’t only because of the comedy, although that what I went looking for. It was the story line of the movie which wasn’t shown in the trailers. That although you may be wealthy, and you can buy all the material things, it can’t buy you happiness.( However, I would like the opportunity to try).

Furthermore the conclusion of the movie to me was epic. How he had to lose everything to gain himself.
Overall, I enjoyed this movie Arthur and wished I seen it earlier.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 - On Stranger Tides

The fourth installment of the movie The Pirates Of the Caribbean begins with the misconception of the capture of Jack Sparrow and than Jack Sparrow found himself in London trying to save his first mate Mr. Gibbs and in return got captured by the English.

According to the English, they have heard of Jack Sparrow in London trying to find a crew and a ship and they want him to lead them to the Fountain Of Youth before the Spanish discovers it. Like always, through advance planning, Jack Sparrow escapes from the English and encountered Fraudulent Jack Sparrow who was recruiting a crew to take on a new voyage to the fountain of youth. After revealing this another Jack Sparrow to be Angelica whom Jack Sparrow has some history with.

Suddenly, he found himself recruited on Black Beard's ( Edward Teach) ship as a crewman ( not the captain). Later learning that probably what he knew of Black Beard wasn't as it seems, and to his surprise that Angelica is Blackbeard's Daughter. Furthermore at every turn things become more complicated in his plans to find this Fountain Of Youth.

All this at the same time Mr. Gibbs ( Jack Sparrow First Mate) found himself making a deal with Barbarossa the Captain of the English Ship to show him the path to the Fountain Of Youth in turn to spare his life from the hangman's noose.

The Movie then intensifies with now a race between 1 to 2 or probably 3 ships on there way to finding this mystical Fountain Of Youth.

The movie was just as amazing as its predecessors with an amazing cast even adding the beautiful Penelope Cruz adding some femininity to some of the scenes and great creativity. Johnny Depp cranking out another superb Jack Sparrow. Even the scenes with the mermaids and there lovely singing was very intense and the scenery was beautiful, another story line started to develop and flourished giving this adventurous movie another love story one we haven't seen coming. Pirates Of The Caribbean On Stranger Tides although it the 4th installment, the chemistry in this movie worked, was everything I wanted and more, great acting, creativity, action packed, Jack Sparrows charms and Mermaids. This is a Movie you need to see.

So You Think You Can Dance Season 8

Thursday night was the premier of the season hottest dance show So You Think You Can Dance(SYTYCD) on FOX.  They started season 8 auditions in Atlanta Georgia and than  San Francisco that span for two hours showing highlights of their best and worst dancers, in the various aspect of dance from lyrical dance to TURFING( which was explain as taking up room on the floor).

The dancers was certainly diversified and equally excited as many dancers take to the stage showing more skills than the seasons before. With Cat Deely hosting the show, some of the dancers was more excited to be interview by her. And how can we forget the return of the one and only  Judge Mary Murphy who was present in Atlanta for the auditions. Which it was very delightful to see her due to her absent last season.
For more on Cat Deely interview about the return of Judge Mary Murphy.
Overall, it was and exciting night for the many dancers who would be going on to Las Vegas, and for the many who didn't get a ticket to Vegas. I am sure you can always try next year.

THOR

The powerful but arrogant warrior name Thor was cast out his magnificent world known as Asgard by his Father Odin, and sent to live amongst humans on Earth, where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.
I have had the pleasure of watching The Movie Thor on the release date. An outstanding action, adventure, drama and in some instances a comedy. Although, it’s a marvel comic and movies similar to it’s predecessors. Thor presented us with the best graphic and a writer with exceptional story telling skills. I found this movie of Thor profoundly intriguing.
In this movie there were moments you felt empathy for Thor, Loki and even the hard decision made by Odin, their father. It is an emotional roller-coaster ride with some pit stops of many humorous events. Even though it maybe a nice action movie to see with friends, it would also be nice to see with the family.

2011 Summer Movie Programs for Kids »

The actors portraying their different characters, I must say added strength to every scene, you become drawn in not by the marvelous scenery of graphic and sounds/music, but by the individuals and their struggles. How one son struggles with the idea of acceptance and the other son, with a strong personality (arrogance) that can bring about the fall of a great planet.
If you think the writers would stop there, you so wrong! You never have a good movie until someone fell for a girl. Events unfold that helps our hero Thor, (although I was cheering for Loki, love the under dogs) learn about life, love and what he have done wrong, through a deep connection with the ‘earth people’ he now know as friends.
This is a brilliant Movie. Thor!
