Movie Review: E.T.

Yup, never saw this one before as well! Still digging into the 80s and finding good movies and this is defiantly a cute and magical classic! It would be even magical if I saw it as a kid, cause it’s perfect for kids and such a family movies, but I still enjoyed it and learned why E.T. became one of the most loved famous aliens. He’s so adorable!

So, if you’re like me and didn’t see it; it’s the story of a kid, Elliott (Henry Thomas) who finds a short and ugly, yet very cute alien that he names  E.T. He takes him in and bond with him till he realizes that E.T. needs to go back home. NASA however wants the alien, so it adds to the plot and makes it a bit adventury in the end.

Like the other 80s movies, I rented the HD version (which I LOVE) and believe me, it’s worth the extra money, because it makes it tolerable and feels ok to watch. And this movie did have some lame special effects (especially when the kids flew in the sky and it looked fake) but it didn’t affect me that much. I just brushed it off. Still you can see the great work of Steven Spielberg. I mean talk about a sci-fi genius in the 80s when they didn’t have much to work with! I mean the movie won 4 Oscars including Best Effects! 

You gotta give it to him, the man with the alien obsession brought us the most exciting aliens movies ever. Though he always tend to make them ugly. That’s disappointing. Aliens could be pretty if you allowed them to be, Steven.

Anyways, even though E.T. is such an ugly little fella, he’s still so freaking cute! So cute, I want one!  And you know who else was cute, Elliott sister, Gertie who was played by the cute tiny Drew Barrymore. She was so good and adorable you can’t but smile when she speaks.

This movie is really super cool and every child should watch it! A great movie option for family movie night!  Though the movie is a bit long, 2 hours, but we’re used to long movies these days, so it’s fine!

Movie Review: Edge of Tomorrow

The newest Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt’s movie is just amazing! I loved watching it in Cinema and it’s a movie that I will watch again and will remember for a while!

It’s the normal story of aliens (the ugly kind, not cute Thor kind of aliens) invading Earth and how the National Army is planning for one big hit that they think will destroy the aliens. Officer Cage (Cruise), a previous ad guy, is the army’s PR representative, but when he has a disagreement with the General, he finds himself in the front getting ready to fight. In the day of the battle everything goes wrong, but somehow Cage manages to kill one of the aliens. Killing this one unique alien gave him the power to reset time. Whenever he dies, he starts the day all over again.

I was like, OMG, that is like a dying in a video game, getting a Game Over then just rebooting and starting all over again! It was super wicked! I really loved it. There’s a lot of movies that had time traveling and days repeating, but this one is gripping thrilling and “OMG when this is gonna end, but I don’t want it to end” kind of movie.

Tom Cruise was beyond brilliant in the movie. He nailed the development of the character from just wanting to promote the army and into having to face the strongest and most horrible enemy humans have ever faced. And I can’t express how impressed I was with Emily Blunt! She really can play the action movies! The chemistry between her and Tom was so good! They were badass warriors yet so cute together. And funny!! There were some really funny lines coming from Tom!

The movie doesn’t only have romance, but it’s full with sick combat scenes! It was just awesome! The special features weren’t mind blowing, like it’s what we are used too, but it worked! The suits that the soldiers wore for me, were yes, good, but I felt they were a bit heavy and it kind of made me feel nervous for the soldiers hahaha. 

However, the whole movie experience was just aaaah, AMAZING! I mean … Live. Die. Repeat … what more can one say?!

The movie is also based on the novel, “All You Need Is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. All the best movies are based on books <3

So, this is my last review before Ramadan.

Till August ;),

Movie Review: The Amazing Spider Man 2

NOW YOU’RE TALKING!! 

Wow! I finally forgive them for making that boring first part, because you know what! It’s WORTH IT!! The Amazing Spider Man 2 is just freaking awesome! I was literary frozen in my seat! Seriously! Didn’t move! It was so intense and just AMAZING!!!  

In this part Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) graduate from high school and becomes the people’s protector in New York. The Villains in this part is Electro (Jamie Foxx) and the Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan). I don’t want to get into the story too much, because it’s your typical superhero story so I’ll focus on other things in this review.

First of all the cast is just freaking BRILLIANT! I mentioned in the previous review how much I love Emma Stone and she is one of the best actresses of this time! She flips from one role to the next and brings something new to each character. Andrew as well, I love! I think he makes a better Spider Man for me. I just like the sarcastic fun side of him. For me, an actor that can deliver the character’s emotion in such ease is a great actor. And OMG! Dane DeHaan, where did he come from?? My sister thought that the old Harry in the old trilogy is better, but for me I prefer Dane. The way he moves and just the way he looks makes a better Harry Osborn.  Also, choosing Jaime Foxx to play in this movie made me go YAY! The moment I saw a still from the movie with him in it, I was dancing!

To talk about other things, the story! I was told many times from some of you readers that this version is more true to the comics. I never read the comics, so I can’t be a judge of that, but I can sense that the movie was more comic style than for example Man of Steel or the Dark Night. I did prefer with Batman the tilt to reality more than comics, but I think for Spider Man, this time it works! The story has a lot of better details and the story like I said before is more refined and structures. I mean it makes more sense.  The script is smart, sharp and funny. It’s entertaining and emotional!

I’m still crazy about the sound track! I love all the songs in the movie. It was fun and light and serious and intense when needed. The special effects is great. I always said this is the time for sci-fi movies. I can never say that enough, because I’m super sci-fi fantasy fan nerd so I’m always cheering for it hahaha.

I highly RECOMMEND this film! It’s just awesome! It’s been a while since I felt alive after watching a movie.  Can’t wait for the third movie, coming out in 2016!

Go watch it!
