This was an incredible April Fool’s Joke!! HAHAHA! 

YES! Deadpool will be a “R” rated film which means no limitations and their imagination for this character can run freely.

                            Fantastic 4 2015 Trailer (teaser)

After seeing this teaser trailer for a couple a times, I realized that I'm not too excited for this film. I was never a huge fan for the Fantastic Four franchise and the earlier films SUCKED!!! Yet, I'm intrigued towards the tone/vibe I felt from this because it didn't seemed and cheesy and ridiculous as the first few.

Ghostgirl Movie

I’m not surprised that they’re making another YA novel film adaptation, but why this one. I’m sorry for any fans of the Ghostgirl series by Tonya Hurley, but, this wasnt my favorite. Years ago, I’ve tried reading this book and about half way in I couldn’t finish it, I lot interest.

Matthew Vaughn who directed both Kick-Ass and X-Men first class will be producing this book adaptation. After reading this in a recent article, I am interested on what they will be bringing to the big screen in the next few years.

[movienerd101]

To be totally honest, I’m a little disappointed I guess I was expecting more but this is just the teaser trailer so I’ll understand but thats just me. However, that new lightsaber looked AWESOME!

[movienerd101]

I am so excited for this movie Ah! So many memories watching Charlie Brown for every seasonal holiday. Out of all the animation movies that are coming out this year, this knocks it out of the ball park.

[movienerd101]

This trailer reminded me of a mini series I saw on ABC, (I think) called Neverland, it was a 4 episode series that told a origin story of Peter Pan. Peter was a ordinary boy that was raised in this foster home and his guardian was Hook until they went to another realm.  

Anyways this trailer reminded me of that series which I liked, and after seeing this trailer, I smiled and said to myself," Wow, this looks amazing." I cannot wait for this movie release, 2015 has a great line of releases and I will go broke.  

[movienerd101]

OMGAH!!!!

Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME!

After seeing this trailer, this is on my most anticipated movies of 2015 list and is the best way to celebrate my birthday, hopefully. I don't doubt that Chris Pratt will deliver, I'm more concern of the script than anything, but for now this looks BADASS! I cannot wait.

January 2014 Movies Reviewed....

Let's say goodbye to January with its tradition of displaying horrible movies every year.

1. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones: 5 out of 10

                    This movie was absolute terrible but, this was more enjoyable the Devil's Due. I don't know why they keeping making these type of films; especially this franchise. I'm very confuse where this story headed since their another Paranormal film coming out this Fall. This movie introduce time traveling within the last few minutes of the movie. I literally gave up; I can't even believe I watched this in the theater. WHY! I didn't even get scared once instead I was laughing throughout this movie for being so dumb. I am left speechless.

2. The Legend of Hercules: 2 out of 10

               This movie should have never happened. This movie was the worst of the worst. This movie portrayed with the worst acting, story direction, production design, cinematography, costume design, and pretty much everything else. I saw this movie due my mom since she thought this was like her Ryse: Son of Rome video game from the Xbox one. Dam, this movie was terrible, this had so many slow motion battles scenes that you can literally tell that the sword went under his armpit making the other guy overact is death, during one of the scenes where he was slave fighter. I was laughing throughout these scenes. Overall, this movie looked so fake like they made this movie for the hell of it. Hopefully, Dyanne the rock Johnson's, version of Hercules could be more than better.   

3. Devil's Due:  3 out of 10

               I only saw this movie due to my friend who made me watched this, and oh boy! She owes me big time. The funny part was that there was only 4 other people in the theater to seeing this nightmare. So anyhow, this was super boring to the max, I literally wanted to walk out of the theater but I didn't. The last 3 minutes of this movie was the only part that left me on the edge of my seat. It was actually cool how everything all went down but then, it got terrible again. I'm just going to spoil it for you guys because you shouldn't have seen this in the first place. So, after a few credits I believe, the same thing happened to another newlywed couple on their honeymoon. I just hope they are not planning for sequel. Yikes!  I can't believe I'm saying this but I'd prefer watching Paranormal Activity than whatever this is.  

4. I, Frankenstein: 6 out of 10

               Why Gargoyles?...... I gave this movie an "6", because I now how hard they tired to make this movie good as possible. First, I really liked the overall concept of the story they tired to tell. I'm a sucker for these type of films that involves with the creatures of darkness. Maybe because I read too many YA novels. The reality was that it had nothing to do with the old Frankenstein that we all know and love. I think when we all read the title we thought it was going to be like a reboot sort of film yet, we were fooled in the end. He didn't even look like Frankenstein; he just looked like a sexy fit man with stiches, sorry Eckhart but its true. The CGI which was displayed throughout the movie was so early 2000s yet, the battle scenes were badass which left everyone ripping each other heads off. Many of these characters didn't even applied much to the story. That includes some badass gargoyle warriors you meet in the beginning that helps Frankenstein a.k.a. Adam, and Yvonne character's,Terra, that has romantic feelings for Adam and her scientist partner thinking he's so much more than a monster. She only appears a few times with some short unmemorable lines. This movie has many flaws yet, it was a bit enjoyable for me.

  5.  The Awkward Moment: 5 out 10

              Basically, this movie is about three guys Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, and Miles Teller; making and sticking to the bet they made to see who stays single the longest. Yet, it all comes cashing down when each of them falls in love secretly with their best friend, ex wife, and a total stranger. This movie is so PREDICTABLE and UNORIGINAL. Like c'mon, at least give the audience a plot twist, something we weren't expecting; but like always the guy gets the girl. Even though I laughed throughout some parts of the movie; many of them were repetitive and just tiring after awhile. I love romantic comedies but, this movie didn't make me care about their characters or the outcome of their story.

Goodbye January. Thank god. :)
