Everything, Everything is Not Everything. It is Not Bad Though.

We had another Friday night movie but we added more people to the party. My sister, who does not live here, was in town so she was able to watch the movie with us. My youngest sister really wanted us to watch Everything, Everything. 

One thing that you should know about me, is that after I watch a movie once, I am more prone to talk during that movie afterwards. This is the second time I have seen it and there was definitely more talking as well as a lot of laughing. We had to pause the movie multiple times because we were laughing so hard. One thing that makes movies fun is the home commentary. 

Romantic movies are not usually my genre. Action movies are more up my alley. I sometimes have a hard time watching kids movies or romantic movies. They have to be really good for me to like them. This one is not my favorite movie but it is better than most. When I watched this the first time, I compared it to Space Between Us. I hate Space Between Us so Everything, Everything was a big improvement. 

Double the Movies, Double the Fun!

Usually, I only have time to watch one movie in a week, but this week, I was able to watch two. 

Movie # 1

Robin Hood

On Friday night, my mom, dad, younger brother and I decided we wanted to watch Robin Hood. This is the second Robin Hood I have seen, the first being the Disney Robin Hood. I need to watch the Kevin Costner one but that will be for another blog. Interesting fact, this movie made the second most money for a medieval movie ever, only beat by the Kevin Costner Robin Hood. 

When I was younger, if a movie looked scary in any way, I would not watch it. Looking at the poster, it kinda has a scary look to it. It took me a long time to get the courage to watch this movie but I am glad when I finally did. This is the second or third time that I have seen this movie but the excitement stays no matter how many times you see it. Russel Crowe makes a great Robin Hood and the other members of the cast makes the movie even better. They picked the right person for each part. The reviews for this movie might not have been great but it gets two thumbs up from me. 

Movie #2

Premium Rush

Warning: This movie does have a good amount of language in it and we watched it with the ClearPlay filters on. 

On Saturday night, after we got home from evening activities, we all decided that we wanted to watch a movie. Since we probably have over 200 movies in our house, it was hard to pick one. We went back and forth for a while then I remembered that I own Premium Rush. When I mentioned that movie, everyone agreed. So we popped in the movie, turned off the lights and started the film. 

This thriller is awesome. It has one of my favorite actors in it and it is not too long of a movie so we had time to finish it because it was so late when we started it. The story is told in different parts and goes back and forth in time which makes the movie more interesting and it makes everything flow together in the end. This movie is not one of the most popular movies out there but it is definitely a good one. 

Both of these movies are so different from each other but they are both equally good. You might not watch them back to back like I did but each movie makes a great movie night flick. 

We interrupt this blog for a public apology. Sorry again that I did not post on my blog last week.  I usually start writing my blog on Sunday night then edit and post on Monday. Last week, I did not write on Sunday and forgot about writing amidst school, chores and a little bit of relaxing during my day off of work.

A Visit to China

This weekend, I went to a friend's house for a night in China. We had Chinese food and we watched Disney's Mulan. It was a really fun and exciting evening. 

Mulan

This movie was not one that I grew up with as a child like Sleeping Beauty or Beauty and the Beast. I was at a friend's house when I was maybe ten and saw it for the first time. We own this movie now but I have not see it in a very long time. 

I forgot how much I love this movie. This Disney princess who is not a princess shines in this story of bravery, excitement, and humor. While I was watching this on Saturday, I caught things that I did not before. For instance, when the ancestors have their discussion, they talk about cross dressing. I did not know what that was as a child but now that I am older, I know what that is. 

One of my favorite things to do during movies, is that I love to talk. I like to add my own commentary to the story. During the movie, I had so much fun talking about some of the random things that popped into my head. I have to be careful with this though. Some people don't enjoy this.

If I had to pick, this would be one of my favorite Disney movies. I think it is one of my top ten. After watching it after not for so long, I want to watch it again. I might even watching again today.  

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer (Official)

Star Wars The Last Jedi Trailer

The new Star Wars trailer is here. After waiting months for a new trailer, they finally released one during Monday night football. 

I will need to watch it a couple of times because I have not gotten everything out of it. The Force Awakens is my favorite Star Wars movie so I am looking forward for the story to continue. 

Watching a Movie with My Brother and Mummy

For the past few weeks, since I started school, I have not had much time to watch movies. Last week was a little different. I got my school work done early so we decided to watch The Mummy. One of my sisters did not want to watch it so it was my brother and my mom. 

I have seen this movie before. One of my other sisters and I had gone and saw it months ago when she was in town. When I saw it, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time. I usually do not watch scary movies so I am proud that I got through the whole thing. My sister, who likes scary movies did not find this movie scary at all. 

When we watched it on Saturday, I was still on the edge of my seat. My mom who also does not watch scary movies joined me on the edge. My younger brother, who like my sister likes scary movies, thought this movie was not scary either. He ended up falling asleep at the very end. 

The critics were not a fan of this movie and I will say this is not Tom Cruise's finest acting job but get past that and this is a pretty good movie. I liked it enough to buy it. If you want a movie that is kind of intense but won't make you pee your pants. this might be the next movie for your movie night. 

Maze Runner: The Death Cure | Official Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX

Before I start this week's blog, I want to apologize for not posting a blog post last week. Last week was so busy. I went  out of town for a few days, I was busy with school and I was exhausted.  I hope to be able to still do my blog this semester.

Now onto this week's post 

The Death Cure Trailer is HERE!!!

Recently I have wanted to do other things on my movie blog besides movie reviews and one of my ideas was movie news. I was never sure what news to do but today I have some exciting news. 

Last night, after the Teen Wolf finale, they released the first trailer for The Death Cure, the third and last installment of The Maze Runner Series. I have been waiting for this trailer for so long. This movie has had a lot of set backs. It was supposed to be released January of this year but the Dylan O'Brian, the actor who plays Thomas in this series ended up getting injured on set and they had to push the release date back to January 26, 2018. 

Now the trailer is finally here and it can feed our excitement till we see this movie next year. I was so excited when I saw it last night. I don't know how I will wait till January to see this movie.

I attached the trailer above. 

ENJOY!

Pizza, Ice Cream, Mario Cart, and The Maze Runner

On Saturday night, with our parents having date night, my younger brother, sister, and I decided that we wanted to watch a movie but first we had to eat dinner. While we ate pizza and bread sticks, we tried to pick a movie but could not agree on one. We all went downstairs to look at what we had. We then got distracted and ended up playing a couple rounds of Mario Cart. We finished but then decided we wanted frozen custard so we  went to Culvers and  got $2 pints. After working through all the distractions, we finally all agreed on a movie. Drum roll please.......

The Maze Runner

A little backround on this movie. I first saw this movie on a Christmas Eve or Day when Hastings (RIP) had a  rent free movie day and we had rented about 10 movies. When I watched this for the first time, I did not like it. It was kinda sad and it was not what I was expecting. Then my sister bought it and I watched it again and I found a new love for the Maze Runner film series. 

This movie falls in the category with movies like The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Giver. It is based on a YA book written by James Dashner which I have never read. It is about a group of boys who have no memory of their life before they were put in a maze and them trying to find their way out.

After watching this movie more than once, I now love this movie. It has action, suspense, and of course a lot of running.  You will be out of breath from just watching them run through the maze trying to escape and getting away from the creatures called the Greivers.  At the end, there is something called a cliff hanger. It puts you at the edge of your seat and already waiting for the next installment. When my younger sister watched it for the fist time, we ended up watching the second one that same night. 

If you like The Hunger Games and Divergent, you will probably like this one. I would definitely  recommend watching this nail bitter. So what are you waiting for, get off the computer and run to your closest rental store and watch this movie.
