Movie Review: White House Down

So, I finally started watching movies from my DVD piles! I’m still into Channing Tatum and so I watched the only movie with him in it in my pile :p! And it was really really fun! I really wasn’t expecting it to be this good. It’s action packed, thrilling and true entertainment without being too action. 

The story of Cale, (Tatum) an ex military solder who goes to the white house for an interview to be part of the secret service with his daughter (Joey King) by his side. The interview goes bad, but to make his daughter happy, they stick around for the white house tour. They meet the president (Jamie Foxx) and everything is cool until it’s not! The whole house is invaded by unknown terrorist. And I think you can guess the rest :p.

It’s a really good movie! Like I said, it has good action scenes, but without being over the top. There are some big booms, but we’re used to that by now hehe. I really enjoyed Jamie Foxx’s performance! From all times I’ve seen him in a movie, he always brings a new life to the character he plays! He’s brilliant, even as he played the soft heart peace wanting President Sawyer, he still managed to capture the strength in him.  And Channing is as good as ever! I love how he brings soft emotions to his tough characters.

Funny thing this movie came out the same tine as, Olympus Has Fallen who had the same exact idea (with minor differences). I watched Olympus at the theater and it was still good. But I think this one wins it for me. Though I don’t remember that movie very much, which isn’t a very good sign hehehe.

And that’s about it! It’s a good action movie to watch when you’re bored! For more info and the trailer, please click here.

Movie Review: 22 Jump Street

In Instagram I announced that I’m not buying or renting any new movies or even old ones that I haven’t seen until I watch ALL the DVDs I bought and forgot about! This also include the movies I piled up in my iTunes hehehe so today I’m starting my #KemzDVDpile with this funny movie!

The movie picks up with the 21 Jump Street police squad who manly send young looking cops to be under cover students (see 21 Jump Street Review) and the main partners are Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) who this time go to collage and try and bust drug dealers.

I love this new series. I laughed from the first scene! Yes, it’s not as good as the first, but you should never expect that. That’s the secret of enjoying a movie; go with low expectations hehee. But it’s still so much better than other comedy sequels. There are a lot of funny references in the dialogue about so many things, including the actors lives outside the movie and how sequels are bad sometimes and you should wait till the end credits! It was a funny thing they did hehehe.

I’m so so in LOVE with Channing Tatum these days, it’s hilarious and in this movie Jonah and he have a great chemistry together and they work the comedy bromance really well. You believe that they are best friends and you want them to keep being friends and not fight!

Yes, this is not 21 Jump Street, but it’s still good and it’s still made me laugh so I for sure recommend it!

Till the next movie I piled up in my list!

Movie Review: The A-Team

OH God. Here we go

I grew up watching the A-team TV series and when I heard back in 2010 that the movie version is coming out, I could not wait to see it. However, now I wish I didn’t. Because when I watched it in the movie theaters I screamed from the top of my lungs from shock and fear of what they did to my memories and to this day, I feel like I should have demanded a refund after the movie was finished. Away from my personal feelings the movie was horrible I mean it really was. What they were thinking when they were in post-production phase of the movie? I wish if I was there to stop this madness.

Like of the series, the movie is about 3 guys: the old wise one, John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Nesson); the kind handsome playboy, Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradly Cooper) and the black dude, Bosco Albert (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson) who’s all about ass kicking  and fighting with Charissa Sosa (Jessica Biel). In the movie they are in Iraq and are trying to retrieve stolen U.S. Treasury plates with over 1 billion dollars in cash. The mission is a success, but they discover that there is more to those plates than they think and they all end up in jail. Then they try to seek revenge from those who betrayed them and take back the plates once again.

That all what you need to know about the story. It’s short simple over used by a dozen of action movies and it kills me that if someone thought this plot is new or original.

When I 1^st heard that Liam Nesson was in the movie, I knew instantly that someone will be kidnapped even if it was him. I am sure when Liam’s agent brings him scripts to read he makes sure that someone will be kidnapped so Liam can feel he is in the zone. Bradly Cooper, you should be ashamed of yourself for participating in this low commercial movie . We,  the people, expect you to make better life choices and as for Rampage Jackson big mistake when you left the UFC to become an actor. You can’t act you sir are insult to Mr.T you destroyed the legacy of the character and we all pity the fool who decided to cast you in this role. Jessica we love you but you left no choice. I watched you in this movie at your worst behavior and your character was so mundane and forgetful. I wish if I saw Justin Timberlake reaction after witnessing his wife performance in this horrible movie. 

If you decided to watch the movie please don’t schedule and make an effort to watch it. Just watch it like whenever you are free and have nothing to do, so you can appreciate the value of time .

Movie Review: The Equalizer

I saw the trailer of this movie ages ago and I really wanted to watch it and so, I did! I very much enjoyed it! I love Denzel Washington and his movies are always good.

The story of Robert McCall (Denzel) who works in a store and lives a routine quite life as he goes from work to home then to a dinner in the middle of the night when he can’t sleep. There he reads a book quietly and chat to a girl, Terry (Chloë Grace Moretz) who work as a prostitute for a Russian gang. When Terry gets hurt by the gang, Robert calls on his past forgotten skills to help her out.

From the beginning the movie has its own rhythm, one that moves with Roberts mind. We feel what he feels and see what he sees. The way he struggles between his past and present and the details of his thoughts are all reflected in the way the movie was shot. I was so hooked and mesmerized. 

The movie not what you’d expect as its not a typical fast action packed movie, no, it’s more of a Drama thriller. It focuses on the psychological aspect of Roberts personality rather than big action scenes.

Denzel was as amazing as always. I love how he acts! He was so composed in the movie and mysterious, but yet you can read his emotions that flash on his face. It was just what the character needed. And Chloë! I love her. She is so beautiful and so good in her performance. I have high hopes for her, so let’s see where she takes it from here.

So, this is what I think. I did liked and enjoy it, but be aware that the movie is a bit slow. It should be shorter, but for me, I appreciate the details and the development of the character in a movie, so I felt it was good that we got to know Robert more.

The only thing that was funny was when Robert is about to hit someone he calculate the movement and time like Sherlock in the Sherlock Holmes movies. I thought that was a repetition, but its still cool.

Movie Review: Into The Storm

Now that’s what I call a THRILLING movie!! OMG!! I was holding my breath and clutching on my sister’s arm through the storm scenes!! OMG!!

It’s the story of a bunch of people who were caught in the storm, including high school students and tornado hunters. It’s so so so good!! I gasped so many times and CRIED! I felt dizzy after the movie!

It was shot in a way that it’s like a Documentary, but don’t let that get to you. They made it in an AWESOME way! I didn’t even feel it! The footages were super clear and you could see every angel. The director, Steven Quale, did a great job.

The movie plays with our emotions, oh boy! You will cry! I felt heartbroken as you see the people stuck in the storm and others looking for their loved ones! It’s so INTENSE! Oh, man, what a ride! It’s like seriously being there with those people and living through the storm and the big humongous tornado!

The cast is great! No big names, but it doesn’t matter. They all played their part well and didn’t ruin the movie on us! That was amazing, because you know what one bad casting call can do to a movie.

Let me not forget how FUNNY it was as well! It made me laugh as much as it made me cry! It just so so freaking GOOD! It will put you in the edge of your seat, holding your breath and waiting for that scary moment to pass!

I can’t believe I haven’t seen this one before! It’s still in the movies, so go watch it! It’s really good for movie night with friends.
