Movie Review: Mr. Peabody & Sherman

I always enjoy a good animation! This is not the ultimate best one, but it’s fun and entertaining with beautiful historical scenery. It has time travel, soo it’s good hehehe!

It’s the story of super smart genius dog, Mr. Peabody (v/ Ty Burrell) who adopts a boy, Sherman (v/ Max Charles) and Mr. Peabody is so smart he invented a time machine which he calls, The Way Back (I thought that was pretty smart). Everything is great until Sherman starts school and in the first day he ends up in a fight with Penny (v/ Ariel Winter). To fix it Mr. Peabody invites her and her parents (v/ Stephen Colbert and Leslie Mann) and during dinner Sherman and Penny go into the Way Back and get into a lot of fun trouble!

Other than the flawless animation, the movie highlight so many important events in the history of mankind and its entertaining and educating for kids to see, though as an adult you have to explain what really actually happened hahaha. Also the movie sends a great message, which is the acceptance of the difference between people and how the normal life to someone is unnatural to someone else, but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I like that. It’s a good thing to teach the young generations.

The only odd thing in the movie for me was how, Ty portrayed a very smart and poised character in the movie hehehe I’m used to him being funny and clumsy in Modern Family, so it took me a minute to get used to it. But the movie is still a good fun!

Movie Review: Source Code


I can’t believe that I had this movie on my DVD shelf for years now and I just saw it!! It’s so so so so good!!! I couldn’t even look away throughout the hour and a half! Such an awesome thrilling suspense!!

Jake Gyllenhaal brilliant performance as Colter Stevens, a soldier in the military army who wakes up one day to find himself in another’s man memory of an exploding train. Colter will learn that he is inside a military device called Source Code that allowed him to relive that man’s memory in order to find out who bombed the train, so they can stop him from doing it again.

The movie is so entertaining and exciting! It’s one of those movies that make you on your edge wanting to know what will happen next. I was going back with Colter to the train trying to solve the mystery and guess who is the bomber. I mean it even had funny moments here and there. It also talks about time travel and how it has more effect than we already think we know. It plays with the mind a little and I liked that.

What I loved the most was how it’s not a commercially angled action movie. No, it’s more than that. It takes you deep into the confusion and disorientation of being in the source code and all the emotion of seeing those people on the train die over and over again.

Jake was beyond great in this movie! He really delivered his role and I can’t imagine anyone else doing it as well as he did! He seriously carried the movie on his shoulders. I loved him! I always enjoy his movies, but this one is one of his best.

If you liked Edge of Tomorrow or just looking for a fun action movie, this is for you! I recommend it completely! You won’t be bored with it at all!!

Movie Review: Back to the Future

Like Jurassic Park, I haven’t watched Back to the Future growing up! Even though I heard about it and wanted to watch it, I never got the chance. So, I rented the HD version from iTunes like with Jurassic Park and its so much better all renovated in an HD version!

So the movie is super fun! It’s the story of the young Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) who always assisted the crazy scientist Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). One day when he went to meet Dr. Emmett, he found him with a car that worked as a TIME MACHIN! And in the first try something goes wrong and Marty is stuck back in time in 1955 where he has to get his parents together or he won’t exist anymore!

The movie is so awesome!! I always enjoy time traveling! It’s very interesting to see the ripple effect you leave when you mess with one little detail of the past! And it’s so fun having a crazy scientist! We haven’t had one of those in a while! Not one that turned into a super hero.

The script is a bit funny and the special effects are of course dated (though it won an Oscar for it back in 1986), but that’s fine. You can still watch the movie and get excited and happy! It really got me into an 80s mood!

This movie is not only a classic, it’s one of the landmark of sci-fi movies! The car alone became an icon! And it also took me back in time where the story and the plot was the focus of the movie, not the special effects. These days everyone want to make bigger, louder movies while people look for the original stories. I think probably that's why people are going to the Hunger Games type of movies, because it's a bit new. I love how simple the story of this movie! I mean just a time traveling machine experience went wrong. It's still fun and entertaining. Like Jurassic Park, it's just a park with Dinosaurs in them, but it's stick in your mind and make you a fan without even realizing it. It's like the same thing with the 90s romance movies and what I said in While You Were Sleeping review.
The special effects these days are mind blowing! If those guys in the 70s and 80s got them, they'll go crazy, so it'll be fun to see something simple and original with a little bit of Special Effects fairy dust ;)


This is a MUST SEE CLASSIC! Highly recommended!

Now, I’m gonna rent part 2 now!! It’s super fun!
