the mockery film Jack The Giant Killer.  it was made by  Asylum  studios(I think can't remember.)  Anyways, the story itself was ok, could have been better, the acting was not very good, the bad actors from the new Disney channel are better then some of these actors. You could see the monsters were fake, they looked like monsters from a video game that had a low budget.  the only good part about the film( in my opinion)  was when Jack and his father where up above the earth in the land of clouds.  all in all, it was an alright film. 3/5.

MAN OF STEEL

Greetings my friends,

Yesterday, I finally saw what Clark did...

I will not compare Man Of Steel with the Richard Donner's version.

The first Superman movie was good in its own way. But this time, the
way is different, because this is the Zack Synder's version. You just
have to understand it. This is not a remake, for god's sake!

Do not expect to see Kal-El saving a cat stuck in a tree. This is a
more serious event. An emotional, philosophical, stylish and
action-packed film (Although I laughed a few times).

In the real world, the life of a super-powered alien would probably not
be always happy.

''What if a child dreamed of becoming something other than what society
had intended? What if a child aspired to something greater?''

The dialogues are well written and works perfectly with the well-chosen
cast. The plot on Krypton was really interesting, and was magnified by
the beautiful cinematography, music and special-effects.

The only con is that the second half of the movie was maybe too focused
on the action, but the fights were impressive and the film ended on a
good note.

Overall, it is not as good as the The Dark Knight trilogy, but I must
applaud the cast & crew, because this is, in my opinion, an almost
perfect reboot for a comic-book character like Superman. Create a film
based on that type of ''god-like'' character is not an easy thing.

I hope the sequel will be less based on the action and more focused on
the story. I'm waiting for it.

In the end, I give it a strong 8 out of 10.

Man of Steel

A decent film. Visually, it was outstanding. The special effects were extremely well done and the cinematography was excellent. And Hans Zimmer did a fantastic job with the soundtrack (as usual). My problems with this film were scenes that drug on waaaaay too long (mostly action scenes) and could've ended sooner without the film being affected. Also, nothing was really memorable about this film. Yeah, it was entertaining, but nothing exactly stood out in it. I could've seen this film going way beyond what it put out. But it was a good film nonetheless.

3.5/5

I meant nothing story-wise, but yeah, the soundtrack was memorable.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2

This was utterly fabulous. I enjoyed the first one a little better than than the second one, mostly because of the House of Blue Leaves showdown; particularly the part where the lights are turned off, I loved the look of the Bride's and the Crazy 88's shadows fighting in front of the blue light, that was just beautiful. The acting was great of course, and the twists were some of the best. And the beginning fight scene of volume one was just perfectly done.

You've Got Mail (1998)

Let's get one thing straight. I don't like romantic comedies. I just like Tom Hanks. Anywho, it was a good little film, and I liked how the events played out in the end.

6.2/10

Monsters University (2013)*

Pixar has kind of had a dry spell lately. They haven't really released anything good since Up in 2009. So I kinda grew up with Monsters Inc., being just a tot when the film was released. Then, having to wait nearly a whole year before the film was released on VHS--holy cow, I feel so old. It was like my favorite film at the time; one of the only films that I liked when I was little, I grew up with it, and I still like it today, as a teenager (I was just a silly little kid back then, and I thought Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) was "awesome").

Anyways, I'm gonna start the review now, and go no further off-topic. This film was arguably good, and it was a blast for me to see some of the funniest animated characters ever return to the silver screen. I loved MU, and I would love to be a student there.

8.9/10

*The Blue Umbrella (2013)

This is the short film that came with Monsters University, and I loved this little short! It was interesting, and the animation seemed real...and kind of unlike Pixar. Hmm... But, it was good, yeah; and the storyline seemed similar to Paperman*. Like how Character A is pushed towards Character B, and the two are together.

9.7/10

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls

I came two hours to see this movie with a friend.  He had very low hopes, but he decided to watch it anyway.  At the theater, there was another brony named Tony, to whom I talked for a little bit, along with another brony, a pegasister, and several families with little girls.
My friend, despite having low hopes, thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I.  It was really funny, with several good songs as well. Albeit a tad cliche in some aspects.  It's kinda like just a really big episode of MLP.
Scootaloo should have spoken more, though.

I'm really glad I got to see it in theaters.
Make sure you stay for the credits if you see it.

The Bling Ring (2013)
Great look at the desire to be rich and famous. Emma Watson was great as Nicki and Leslie Mann was hilarious, and completely spot-on as her real life counterpart. Katie Chang though, stole each scene she was in with a brilliant performance (and it was only her first film). Editing and pacing bugged me though, the first act going by very quickly without examining the relationship between Marc and Rebecca to the depth I would've preferred. By the time they became friends, it was nearly right after that they were checking for unlocked cars. One decision cut very soon to another. Also, each shot felt so short that you really couldn't appreciate it. There wasn't a bad performance in this film, the entire cast did provide a lot of humor without making their characters into a parody. Overall, this is my favorite film of 2013 so far.

Rating: 4/5
