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.

Kinda Watching a Movie


HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE! Celebrate the day with a new blog post.

This Friday, my family and I had another family movie night. My dad was off and we all wanted to see King Arthur. When I got off of work, I went to Redbox and we rented it for the evening. 


King Arthur



This movie was an interesting one. I don't know what I was expecting. The only exposure  I have had with King Arthur was the Disney movie The Sword in the Stone. This movie was really different then that one. Plus the fact that I have not seen that Disney movie in years.The only thing that was the same was the fact that he pulls the sword from the stone which makes him the rightful king. 

I watched the movie with half interest. When I was watching the movie, I was into it and liked it. Then there were parts where I got bored and started playing a game on my tablet. I thought I could multitask but apparently I was wrong. One of the big problems with this movie is the very heavy accents. Usually if they are hard to understand, we would turn on the subtitles and everything would be fine. But because of the language, we did not put them up. I think that is when I lost interest. When they where talking and I could not get what they were doing. 

There were moments during the movie that I was confused about the movie plot. I was thinking, "If this is what the movie is like, I don't like it." Then they revealed it, and  it consisted of the shocking moments that I liked. I suddenly understood and it made sense. 

After watching this movie, I am not sure what I think about it. When I was focused on the movie, I liked it but when I got distracted, I lost the the plot of the movie. My family liked it but I am not sure about me. I will have to watch it again but pay more attention to it. My brother fell asleep again during the movie so maybe he will watch it with me. Maybe then, I will have more concrete thoughts on the movie.
