Asa's Movie Reviews

Our opinions about old movies, new movies, and movies that are yet to be released.

Billy Madison

This is one of my all time favorite movies. Adam Sandler is a hilarious actor and the plot is amazing. I maybe watched Billy Madison twenty times and  Iwas able to laugh at the jokes every time.

Source Code

This was an excellent movie but it is no longer in theaters. It is kinda like Inception in that you have to think if something is real or not.  If you still want to see it, you can buy and download it from Amazon.com. Click the image below to go to Amazon.com

Cowboys & Aliens

This movie seems like it will be pretty good but not a must see. Wild West movies are no longer the main focus and trying to cross one with an alien syfy is a risky thing. Personally, I don't plan on seeing the movie but if my friends see it and say that it's good, I will write another post movie review.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes 

If anyone saw the original Planet of the Apes, they should see this. I was born after the original movie came out but I saw it later and I loved it. The one thing that always stayed in my mind was, how did monkeys take over the world? Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the prequel so it should be good.

Super 8 

This was a pretty good movie but when I searched for trailers, I saw one from 2010 so I'm guessing it was under production for a while. There was an interesting plot, great special effects but an unrealistic ending.

Green Lantern

I never read the DC comics so I wouldn't know the original story-line for this movie, but on what I do know from reading tons of articles on Wikipedia, its about right. The one bad thing about the movie is that it goes by so fast. This two hour movie felt like 30 minutes. Lastly, stay after the credits, there is something added at the end.

Captain America

This movie looks like it will be a good one except that they used the same actor to play Captain America as they used to play Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four. It is especially annoying because he played different people in two Marvel movies. Since the Avengers movie will be released after all the small introductory films to the characters like Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and the rest of them, there probably wont be another Fantastic Four movie.

Apollo 18

Based on the trailer, this movie looks horrible. In my opinion, it is just a paranormal activity taking place on the moon. Of course I will have to wait for the movie to be released in theaters but honestly, I don't plan on seeing it in theaters.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2

So far, I have seen all the movies in the Harry Potter Series except for Harry Potters and the Deathly Hallows part 1 because I plan to watch it later on DVD or on Demand. Based on the trailer, part 2 looks like it would be a great movie. If you read the books or saw the majority of the movies, I would recommend seeing this series closer.

Transformers Dark of the Moon

Transformers Dark of the Moon is a great third part of the Transformers series. There is tons of action, convincing actors and a great plot. Unfortunately, Megan Fox was not able to join us for this movie but the replacement actress, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is able to fill the part.

Movies in general (for teens)

Personally, as a teenager, I think that movies are enjoyable but should be a little less expensive. One way to avoid the high cost of tickets and concessions is to watch movies on DVD and buy concessions at a near bye gas station or pharmacy. CVS is an excellent place to get candy that would cost $4.50 at a movie theater, for around $1.  

For movies, there are specific types of movies for large groups, couples, close friends, and solo people. The type of movie I recommend for groups is horror films and action thrillers. These are good because other people's reactions are freaking hilarious. Paranormal activity is a perfect movie for this because the "pop outs" make people scream which makes the movie even more enjoyable.
