The Maze Runner

I went and saw this movie this weekend and it was fabulous. Although I have not read the book, so I am not quite sure if it followed the book, but I thought that the movie was fantastic. Throughout the whole thing you were on the edge of your seat hoping for the good guys to win. There were a lot of great characters in this movie including Thomas, Newt, Alby, and Minho. 

Now I know that one of your questions is why would I want to watch this movie. And my answer is why would you not want to. It has everything you could ever want. Betrayal, suspense, action, and a hint of romance. What more can you ask for in a movie?

I'm sure your other question is why can't I just wait for the movie to come out. Well you will be waiting for a very, very long time. It would be so much easier to just go to the movies and see this wonderful movie. 

If you are not convinced to go watch this movie then I do not know what will convince you. So go watch the Maze Runner!!!

The Fault In Our Stars

This movie is definitely on my top 5 favorite movies. Now it is based on a book but the movie does a beautiful job of reenacting the book. With a tear jerking story line you are sure to shed some tears. Although this movie is more targeted for teenage girls, anyone can enjoy this movie! Hazel Grace Lancaster is a teenager with lung cancer who reads the same book over and over again. When Hazel's mom makes her go to a support group she meets Augustus Waters who is unlike any guy she has met before. He cares about her and wants to get to know Hazel for who she is. This begins the epic story of Hazel's and Gus' love story.
 
Why should you watch this movie?
This movie is just plain amazing. You may think that it is some cliché chick flick, but I am here to tell you that you are wrong. Now, let's say that your friend completely ruined the ending for you and you don't want to go to the movie. Well don't let that stop you from seeing this movie. Even if you do know the ending you should still go see!
 
 
If I see this movie will it completely ruin the book?
Absolutely not! The makers of this movie did a fabulous job of creating this movie to match the book. Sure, there are some things that they couldn't fit in the movie, but they did not leave out any huge parts. Also they didn't really add any parts that they shouldn't have.
 
 


Things That Will Happen While Watching This Movie
  1. You will go through at least one box of tissues
  2. You will develop severe character attachment
  3. You will spend you whole life looking for an Augustus Waters
  4. You will be at a loss of words by the end
  5. You will use metaphors a lot more
  6. You'll want to visit the literal heart of Jesus
  7. You will want to go to the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam
  8. You will develop hate for Peter Van Houten
  9. You will cry every time hearing okay? Okay
  10. You will want an okay or always

Frozen

      With this post I thought I would do something a little different. I'm sure almost everyone has seen the iconic Disney movie Frozen. With it's catchy songs, tear jerking story line, and enough girl power to fill a teenager's Starbucks cup. This movie is great for every age, from 5-30 years old. With so many lovable characters you'll have a hard time choosing your favorite one.
     
      The story starts out with sisters Ana and Elsa. Elsa unfortunately is cursed with ice powers that she has to keep from her sister Ana after an unfortunate accident. When the sisters parents go on a trip and never return they are locked in the castle and live a life of seclusion. When it is finally time for Elsa's coronation day the gates will finally be open for the whole village to come. Ana is overcome with joy, Elsa on the other hand is extremely terrified about accidentally showing her powers and revealing herself to the world. After the coronation goes smoothly there is the after party where Ana breaks the news to Elsa about wanting to marry a guy she just met. Elsa is appalled by the idea which causes an argument between the two and causes Elsa to accidentally reveal her icy powers. All the guests are terrified as Elsa runs away  up to the mountain. While she thinks she is free, she has cast an eternal winter on Erindale which she can only reverse.

      Ana then goes to chase her sister up the mountain, on her journey she meets Olaf the famous snowman who loves warm hugs, Sven, and Kristoff who help her find her sister. I highly recommend this movie with famous tagline "Some people are worth melting for" I would say that the movie is worth melting for. Even if you have already seen this movie, it's a great movie that you could probably watch over and over again. Another great plus of this movie s the songs, which include: Love is an Open Door, Let it Go, For the First Time In Forever, and Summer. By the end of the movie you will have these songs stuck in your head and refusing to get out. You will also get tons of Frozen merchandise all around your house. You'll also being quoting this movie 24/7. You're probably thinking that this doesn't sound very delightful, but it is very delightful, the gift of Frozen if beautiful!

No Good Deed

      No Good Deed is coming to a theater near you on September 12th 2014. Maybe a good deed isn't  always as good as you think. When Terri offers her phone to a stranger in need, she quickly learns that no good deed comes without a price. When the stranger enters her home, it becomes a deadly game of hide and seek, where only one winner shall prevail. No Good Deed is a thriller that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat till the end. With the tagline "First he gets in your house. Then he gets in your head" this movie is expected to impress. Main characters Terri, played by academy award nominee Taraji P. Henson, and Colin Evans, played by Golden Globe winner Idris Elba, this movie not only has an impressive theme but an impressive cast.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2011159/
     

There have been many intruder films in the past, I feel like this movie will be unique, partly because the intruder was invited in. It will be a spin on any other scary movie. I also believe that this film will appeal to a lot of adults emotions, parents will imagine this happening to their own home, which it is scary in a whole new way, not with monsters or things that aren't real, but things that could happen to you in your own town, in your own home. This movie is rated PG-13, so it's not to inappropriate where only a small crowd of people can watch it, although it is definitely not for small children. I am very excited to see this movie, I have very high hopes for it. I hope that everyone considers this movie and goes to see it!
