I got emotional over a tree and a raccoon

Guardians of the Galaxy
Times I cried cause of tears : Three
Times I cried of laughter: 15 +
Soundtrack : CRUNCHYYYY like totes amazeballs

I went in expecting your very typical super hero movie. Full of action , saving people, seriousness because clearly the world is about to end , you know the whole deal. But it was all of those things just replace the seriousness with sarcasm. I haven't laughed so hard in so long, it was quiet refreshing to be honest.

I found my spirit animal in a raccoon. Rocket( played by Bradley Cooper)  by far was my favorite character and the absolute sassiest. If i were a talking raccoon , I'd be Rocket I can tell you that much. He was one of the two animated Guardians , the other was Groot. Groot (played by Vin Diesel) was actually a very expressive character for being a tree that said four , of the same , words the whole movie. NEVER WOULD I EVER IMAGINE that I would get emotional over a tree. I CAN'T GET OVER IT. Both Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel should get awards for portraying these characters. I completely forgot that they were animated too! Hats off to the animators because that was some flawless work.

Also , the soundtrack added that extra layer of just pure badassery to the whole film. I have no idea what it was about hearing these retro tunes in outer space but it really did it for me. I am absolutely going to add some of the music from that soundtrack onto my August playlist.

Enough rambling , I vote you go see this movie. I probably will go see it again to be honest.I don't want to give away any spoilers so I am not going to do a summary of the movie. SO GO SEE IT!

Bye people of the internet.

Review : The Scary Movie that Surprised Me.

Deliver Us From Evil

Rated : R

Run time : 101 minutes

Rating 2.5 out of 5

So going into this movie I was expecting a supernatural horror. From the weird hooting owl rolling across the floor in the commercial , I’m assuming that’s something that you’d also expect , Right? WRONG! This movie is about a possession. WHO THE FLIP WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT FROM THE COMMERCIAL. Granted there was a priest in the commercial but I honestly did not get any sort of religious connotation from the commercial. Loads of scary movies add priests because they assume that the horror in their house is cause from some sort of evil presence and the priest is like “nah man, y’all are screwed” and he usually leaves as fast as his character is introduced.(source : see ever paranormal activity movie) I ASSUMED THE SAME FROM THIS MOVIE BUT I WAS VERY WRONG.

This movie had loads more of religious point of view than it did super natural. Overall the movie wasn't that bad, but it surprised me which was good.[Spoiler] The characters were rather weak , along with the overall plot. I mean honestly, soldiers go into a cave in Iraq and get posessed. I think I held my breath for the entirety of the last scene. There were some scary scenes but nothing too traumatizing. I slept well after the movie if that matters to you or not.

Tl;dr – Movie was Okay, wouldn't see it again but wasn't a horrid first watch either. Also , the priest looked like Jon Snow.

p.s. after looking at the movie poster it has crosses and stuff on it. Okay maybe it was meant to be religious but I totally didn't get that from the trailer. So , I blame the editor of the trailer for that.

P.S.S. Also , i have no idea when i will have time to go to the movies again. :( I am in the middle of packing my life up right now and preparing for my move to Denver. But not to worry , more reviews on the way I'm sure. If anyone reads these. 

The one movie with the apes on the horses with machine guns

“ That one movie with the apes on the horses with machine guns” - Hannah

Yes , I know this is not one of my better quotes but it happened none the less. The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the longest title known to man so please forgive me if I couldn’t remember the eight word title. 

I was forced to see it last friday as a birthday present to one of my friends. Naturally it was his idea and of course he wasn’t down to see The Fault in Our Stars… again.. 

So as I sit in the massive theatre with the Dolby sound system , that costs like 4 dollars more but it totally worth it in my opinion, I’ll tell you why later , I contemplate how the hell I am going to keep my mind preoccupied during this film that I honestly have no desire to see.  I decided to give it a chance because if anyone can play a wild ape named Cesar it’s Andy Serkis(dude who plays Gollum). 

Turns out that I actually quite liked this film… ALOT. It wasn’t based on romance, it had romantic undertones but seriously what movie doesn’t anymore. It was a really political movie if i’ve ever seen one. Also very balanced and symmetrical, you'd understand if you watched it. It was shot really well considering 90% of it was CGI and monkeys. There was one point in the movie where it literally sounded like an ape was breathing on my shoulder, freaked me out (damn that dolby system).  Cesar was awesome as usual , minus the ever so good looking James Franco. There was an orangutang called Maurice who could have been from Colorado he was so chill. 

This is the chillest ape i've ever seen and i wish we were friends

tl;dr -  It was a good movie.. go see it now.

As a person expecting absolutely nothing from this movie, it was fantastic. I highly recommend seeing it if you haven’t already for it is genuinely a good film.
