My Oscar Predictions

Hello movie fans!! It's that time year again, where you go to the Internet look at all the nominees for the Oscars and try to watch all the movies you can before the Awards. (It's okay I do it to) but everything is not awesome this year, with our new major yellow headed friends not making an appearance this year. *cough* the Lego movie *Cough*....

 It's still okay!!! Its a hell of a list this year and I'm only gonna cover the big 3 topic; Best Movie, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Although I would talk best Animated Movie, but I'm still recovering. This is how I'm going to do it I'm going to show you the nominees and then give you my opinion on who should win and then give you my prediction on who's most likely going to win it.

Anyway! 

BEST ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE!
Here are the nominees 

Marion Cotillard for “Two Days, One Night”
Felicity Jones for “The Theory of Everything”
Julianne Moore for “Still Alice”
Rosamund Pike for “Gone Girl”
Reese Witherspoon for “Wild”

Should win: Julianne Moore
Here performance in still Alice was beyond amazing, she helps tranform this movie and even pushes other actors to there best. 

Who's going to win: Juliannne Moore
I strongly believe Juliannne Moore will take home the award this year for her amazing performance in "Still Alice".

Next up!

BEST ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE!
Here are the nominees

Steve Carell for “Foxcatcher”
Bradley Cooper for “American Sniper”
Benedict Cumberbatch for “The Imitation Game”
Michael Keaton for “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)”
Eddie Redmayne for “The Theory of Everything”

Should win: Michael Keaton
Wow, Michael really preformed in this movie. He blew me away with his characters multiple dynamics and in movie constantly changing characters. He really Deserves an Oscar for that incredible performance.

Who's going to win: Eddie Redmayne
This was a really tough one , I think Redmayne and Keaton are neck and neck for this award. But it felt like Redmayne became Stephen Hawking. He became this world class Genius, fighting for his life against the worst possible disease. He played it so amazingly that I no longer could tell if I was even watching Redmayne or the Real Hawking himself.

The Best for last!

BEST MOTION PICTURE!
Here are the nominees

“American Sniper”
“Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)”
“Boyhood”
“The Grand Budapest Hotel” 
“The Imitation Game” 
“Selma” 
“The Theory of Everything” 
“Whiplash”

Should Win: Whiplash
Maybe it because it's the most recent movie I've seen out of all the nominees, but this movie blew my mind, I loved the interaction between Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons characters. I loved the depth, the emotional trauma, and how the focused the story on those two characters (where as most movie try to fill your mind up with 10 other character developments) everything about this movie was amazing and wish there was two winners because this movie really deserves it.

Who's going to win: “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)”
This year has really been a tight race, but I really do think Birdman is going to take it this year. This movie did everything right from the cast, to the solid totally relatable story and characters. I really enjoyed this film and if you haven't seen it, don't hesitate any longer and go watch it. 

That's the list guys, are you just as upset as I am that the Lego movie got snubed? 
What the Hell Academy!?

Whiplash Review

My god this movie is....just... Boom!! (Mind Blown)

Hello movie fans, this is a review fresh out of the oven. Wow this movie is Spectacular...NO! AMAZING!! Wait not quite right on tempo.... This movie is DAMN Oscar worthy! Where do I even begin with this movie!? Okay, Miles Teller really shows that he can ACT in this movie. There's a fine line that separates GOOD actors from Talented actors. Good actors can make it believable, while the Talented ones can make me Feel it's real! This movie with Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons made me feel it! J.K. screaming and yelling!! He made me feel the Rage and the desire for greatness!! He made me want to try harder and push further. Although slightly under J.K.'s shadow in the film, Miles Teller really showed the world of his acting capabilities and won't be surprised to see him blossom into one of the best in this new generation of actors. Wow!!! What are you guys doing!? Go see this movie!!

Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies of 2015

Happy New Years fellow movie fans! I figured, what better way to start of the year then a list of my top 5 most anticipated movies for 2015. 

Here are some Honorable Mentions Before I get to the list:

TED 2
After the first hilarious family guy type movie that Seth Macfarlane brought to the world, it left me wanting more. Through the whole movie I couldn't stop laughing and the chemistry and comedic timing between Seth and Marc Wahlberg is unlike anything I've seen in awhile.

SPECTRE
Skyfall had become one of my favorite all time James Bond film, and with this new film it feels like there going back to little old school stuff. Which I couldn't be more interested in seeing. 

THE FANTASTIC FOUR
The New Fantastic Four film has been widely kept under wraps, but with the actors that are on bored I can only feel high hopes for this new rebooted franchise. 

TOMORROWLAND
Another film I don't know to much about. This film is based on the Disneyland theme park attraction (which is already a pretty awesome idea). The first trailer blew my mind and I can't wait to see more.

Alright now to the Top 5 list:

5: ANT-MAN

Yes although this movie has hit its rough patches, with losing director Edgar Wright. I strongly believe this movie will be good and will change the feeling of the marvel universe (hopefully) make it better then it already is. Specially with the cast behind this movie with Paul Rudd and Michael Douglas.

4: JURASSIC WORLD

Yes, Finally another Jurassic park film! Ever since I was a kid I was fascinated with this franchise, it blew my mind to see these creatures that I could only see in books in the big screen. Although the last two were not up to par as the first of the franchise, this new film feels like we're going back to first movie which excites me even more.

3: INSIDE OUT 

Recently Pixar films have been a little less then amazing as were used to seeing, but with this New Pixar film I think will capture the greatness of Pixar again.   Bring back kid friendly adult humor so everyone has a good time in the movies. Can't wait!

2: AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

OHHH BOY!!! After watching the first trailer my mind was blown! With James Spader voicing Ultron, I can generally feel the terror that that he brings to the the table in this movie. Some serious stuff is brewing in the Marvel Universe and I'm first in line to see it! 

1: STAR WARS VII : The Force Awakens

Yes.Yes. I know this most likely the top of everyone's list, But I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!!! It's been to long since a
GOOD Star Wars movie and I feel like J.J. Abrams bring allot to this movie. Just based on the trailer, I feel like we're going back to the original trilogy. Which hopefully brings back hope to the franchise after those terrible pre-qual movies. I have hope that Disney has Steared this franchise into a one way road to success and I'm already in line to see this movie.

The Interview not being released????

Hello fellow movie fans. As we all must know by now Sony was Hacked by a team of hackers; that were ordered to do so by North Korea. North Korea is offended by the plot of the now cancelled  Sony film The Interview, that stared James Franco and Seth Rogen. I've been avoiding talking about this Sony hack because it's ridiculous, I personally dislike talking about politics behind movies and now a days it's like a different company is getting hacked every month. Yes, Yes I know it's a big deal, but I choose not to cover the acts of (Horrible Bosses 2 reference from Kevin Spacey) Balless Men that come from generations of Balless men who were to scared to stand up and take what's theres , who chooses to show that there upset behind a computer screen like cowards. Sony now also has shriveled up balls for not releasing my most anticipated comedy of the year, because of a hackers threats. Come on, really ? REALLY? Cancel a movie a week from its release because they made threats. Sony also (according to Variety) has no further plans on releasing the film via DVD nor VOD. Sony should have stuck with this film they must have known something like this would happen come on , the plot of the movie is to kill the leader of North Korea!!! Isn't it obvious you would offend them? Sony should have had the balls to release this film and not run for the hills, this is American where we have freedom of speech and film is an art that should be expressed freely. I'm disappointed Sony.

Exodus: Gods and Kings Mini-Review

This movie felt like I've seen it a million times, it felt boring... I felt like it was anti climatic, and although Christian Bale had a good performance it was like watching The Dark Knight Rises all over again (I get the feeling he misses being the Bat). Oh and my personal comedic moments were with Aron Paul, I wanted him to say his famous line from breaking bad so bad haha. I'll give this movie a 7.

-It was good just felt like another generic anti-climatic Moses movie

Sony should give up Spider-Man


If you don't already know, the movie rights to Spider-Man are owned by Sony. Which is the reason why you most likely haven't seen him in an Avengers movie, but this post isn't to announce he's coming to the next Captain America movie Civil War. It's a post about my thoughts on Sonys future with the Spider-Man fanchise and why I think they should let the right reverse back to Marvel.

Firstly, Sonys Spider-Man fanchise is in a bit of a rough patch, with the last Amazing Spider-Man Sequal not being very well perceived by critics and fans. Sony seems to be lost on where to go next with the franchise, putting on hold 2 already announced movies (Venom and The Amazing Spider-Man 3). Recently Sony had been in talks with Marvel to share the Franchise, with marvel planning on Spider-Man appearing in Civil War and have three stand Alone movies. Well, thanks to some leaked information we now know those conversations didn't fall through. I think Sony should lend Spider-Man to marvel not just for the obviously huge amount of money it'll bring them, but for the image of the Spider-Man character as a whole. What I mean by that is there's only so many Spider-Man movies you can do and so many that can fail. With so many company's like Marvel and DC building there cinematic universe, the public Seems to want to see more team up movies then standalones, and that can't be good for Sonys Spider-Man because well, they don't own any other characters but the ones known in the Spider-Man universe. The demand is growing more and more by marvel fans to see this character in the Avengers  is growing stronger and stronger. I'm scared for the franchise as it seems to only be heading into deeper waters, with Sony scrambling around unsure of there next move. Waiting to long and even worse making bad movies will rant the image of Spider-Man, and if we ever do see Spider-Man in the MCU (Marvel Cinimatic Universe) the audience may no longer be intrested in the character due to its previous history. In light of this conversation I still believe there's a chance a deal can be struck between Sony and Marvel and see the team up we've all been dying to see.

The Theory of Everything Review

 "However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." - Stephen Hawking

Wow, this movie was so inspirational. From walking in thinking it was going to be just another love story, I walked out with a great time at the movies. The Theory of Everything takes you on the journey of Stephen Hawking's life as he changes the world with his scientific mind, all while battleing the Fatle Lou Gehrig's disease. Don't get me wrong this is still a love story, but not one of those sappy happily ever after story's. You see the hardship of Stephen and his wife Janes relationship, you see all there troubles and all there difficult moments (which is a real tear jerker). Oh and the actors in this movie are so good, Eddie Redmayne (who plays Stephen Hawking)  was so talented and nailed that  part everyone thing he portrays every stage of the disease so perfectly with only getting worse and worse It made me believe he had ALS! But he also looks the part , towards the end of the movie I thought they switched him out with the real Stephen Hawking! This was an amazing movie and I know this is my first movie review so I decided that my rating system  would be 1-10 (1 being the worst movie ever to 10 being the best movie I've seen in awhile). I give this movie a 8.5 , this movie was inspiring, it made me laugh and made me cry this movie is definitely one I'd recommend to watch.
