Movie Review: The Breakfast Club

So, since it’s going back to school week and I’m still on my Must Watch Classics series, I thought to watch The Breakfast Club. This is “The” classic Teen School movie that in an hour and a half portrayed the main stereotype of high school students (of course in the American culture).

The story about 5 students who had to spend Saturday day in detention. You have the Princes, Claire (Molly Ringwald), The football player, Andrew (Emilio Estevez ), The brain, Brian (Anthony Michael Hall ), the shy and awkward, Allison (Ally Sheedy) and the criminal to be Bender (Judd Nelson ). They’re all stuck together all day, so they start on getting on each other nerves, but   then the situation changes.

I’m really getting into the 80s time, the music and the cloths, but not the hairstyle. Anyway, the movie is really good. It’s more than your normal teen movie, that’s why its timeless. It talks about different adolescent issues as each character portray the positive and negative parts of their lives and showcase how they became the way they are.

It shows the pressure they face and the hardship of everyday simple life and the decision they have to make and the uncertainty of their future. It’s a very good movie to be watched by teenagers and parents to understand them more. We were all teenagers one day, but as we grow older we forget the confusion of that time.

To portray all of this through just sitting in a library all day long without using any effects or setting is just brilliant. Just by the use of words and script with some behaviors makes the movie clean and to the point. It’s the strength of the cast as well that made us believe them.

So, this is a great go back to school movie and a for sure a MUST WATCH CLASSIC!

Movie Review: Vampire Academy

This was a really fun movie!! I didn’t expect it at all!! I really enjoyed it! And it’s based on a book series so I’m gonna buy them and read them hehehe!!!

The story goes in a Vampire Academy obviously where the mortal royal vampires the Moroi go to school with the half vampire half human Dhampir who are trained to be the Moroi’s guardians. Rose (Zoey Deutch) is a Dhampir who is trying to protect her best friend Lissa (Lucy Fry) who is hunted by unknown bully. 

Again this movie was really fun! It’s gothic and vampy in a very colorful and modern way. It’s a bit silly and cliché, but in a very good and entertaining movie. The movie had a commercial angel to it, but it was done in a positive way. The way it should be.

I loved Zoey’s acting! She was really good and she had funny lines that she pulled it off! Lucy was a bit meh, but its ok, I guess it’s the way she needs to be.

The ending was predictable, but whatever the plot was, the movie was just plain FUN and it put me in a good way. I keep saying it’s fun, because it’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie like this.

Do watch it! It’s really fun :p

Till Wednesday!

Movie Review: Life of Crime

As I was planning my weekend review, I discovered that Life of Crime is released in Cinemas in Qatar, but it’s an old movie from 2013. Nonetheless, I rented it in iTunes to tell you whether to watch in in Cinemas or not. Let me tell you, it’s not worth the movie cinema experience. Don’t waste your money and only watch it by renting it or when it’s on TV.

The movie is the story of two guys, Ordell and Louis (Mos Def and John Hawkes) who kidnapped Mickey Dawson (Jennifer Aniston) in the 70s. Things don’t go as planned and they have to deal with it.

I don’t know why they categorized this movie as “comedy”, because it wasn’t funny. It felt more of a drama movie to me. I only laughed a tiny bit in the ending. The movie however was appealing. I don’t know what it was, but I kept watching and it put me in a daze, in a good way. Maybe it was the 70s theme, the beautiful outfits and music.

Daniel Schechter, the director, did a good job with it. The plot however was meh and again not funny, so it could be better.

Again this is not a movie to go to the movies for. Even if you don’t see it ever, it won’t be a loss.

Well, this is all I can say about this movie. For more info and the trailer, click here.

I hope The Maze Runner is released next week!!

Till then!

Movie Review: Labor Day

Unfortunately I’m that kind of person that doesn’t have so much time to watch movies. Or better, I usually spend most of my evening at home, but watching TV is really soporific for me.  Except when I travel.

So during one of my last flights I decided to watch Labor Day, a drama movie which I discovered later is based on the novel of the same name written by Joyce Maynard in 2009.

Protagonist of this movie is Kate Winslet who plays the role of Adele, a depressed single woman and mother of Henry (Gattlin Griffith) a 13-years-old-son. Co-protagonist is Josh Brolin, who played Frank Chambers, a convict, broke out of jail and wanted by the local police. While Adele and her son are shopping in a clothes store, a bloody Frank “asks” them to take him home and look after him. It’s the Labor Day weekend and in five days the life of Adele and Harry changes completely. Frank reveals to be an incredible man with an incredible past.

Now at this point I don’t want to reveal to you the final. I really suggest you watch the movie for this.

What I want to add is that I loved this movie because yes, it’s romantic but not in the classic way.  I loved it because it talks about love, about second opportunities in a different way. Labor Day talks about hot themes like depression and the effects of prejudices and misunderstandings. But it does that through the eyes of love, the love of a son for his mother, who always try to protect her, the love of a man who lost his better years and his freedom and the love of a woman who has been hurt and she has become the shadow of herself.

But no matter what happened, life always gives second opportunities even if not in the way we expect.

In the movie Kate Winslet is a great actress and again she played Adele's role with a strong personality and a deep impact. I didn't know Josh Brolin as an actor, but what I know is that both Kate and Josh made me forget that I was sitting on a plane while I was watching Labor Day. They were able to keep my attention from the beginning to the end of the story.
