The Rise of the Planet of the Apes


I love both the original and the remake of Planet of the Apes...but this movie was AWESOME!!! It was not only beautifully directed, the acting was absolutely remarkable! This movie is for both Sci-Fi fans and non Sci-Fi fans.
The movie is basically the opposite of the Planet of the Apes and also explaining how the earth turned into Planet of the Apes. There was a guy, who was a scientist, trying to cure alzheimer, so he used this formula on chimps. Once he finds a female chimp who gets a puzzel right, he tries to show it to the board to get more funds, but the Ms. "Bright Eyed" went postal. They thought her animalistic ways kicked in but they didn't know that she had a baby and she was being protective. The scientist ended up taking the baby chimp home after all the others were put down. Then that baby chimp turned into Ceasar. The formula was pasted down into his dna and not only did he become smart, his IQ increased by double over a few years...faster than humans. Ceasar also had bright eyes, like his mother. Ceasar grew up in the attic and learning things. The scientist taught him how to sign so they could communicate. One day the neighbor was picking on the scientist's father (who has alzheimer), who accidently crashed his car (mind you he left the door opened). So Ceasar came to the rescue and ended up not only terrizing, and beating on the man, he also bit his finger off. Feeling bad, Ceasar went to the father to make sure he was ok. After that insident he was forced into animal protection where they locked him in a cage and treated him and other monkeys horribly. Ceasar started to think, and became a leader. Mission one was to show the other monkeys who's boss. Mission two conduct a plan to break out. Mission three become free. Ceasar achieves all of this and he spoke his first word "NO!".
The best part about the movie is when the fact they played into Planet of the Apes. I don't know if many people caught it, but they lost men in outter space. There for going into Plant of the Apes. The orginal movie the astronaut came back to earth after being lost and to find that monkeys ruled the world. :) Another way they played into the orignal is naming the chimp "Bright Eye" and also when Ceasar said "NO" the "gate keeper" said "Get your hands off me you dirty ape." just like in the original.
The sad part in the movie is how the guy treated Ceasar and how most of his stay at the horrible "animal jail". Not only was he attacked by another monkey who felt he was "the man" but also by the "gate keeper" who obviously felt threated by Ceasar because he was smart and cute.
The ending was too cool! "Ceasar is home."
If you like Sci-Fi movies this is the movie for you. If you like a movie that makes you think about how not only you treat others, but also animals, this movie is for you. If you like a good story. This movie is for you. Hell this is an AWESOME movie...it's a MUST SEE movie. And if you don't see this movie you are so missing out!!! I give this movie a 10 out of 5 stars!!!

Captain America: The First Avenger


This movie was THE SHIT!!! It is best seen in 3D. Most 3D movies kinda sucks, but you MUST see Captain America in 3D!!!

So basically the movie was about how Steve Rogers becomes Captain America by this formula that was "believed" powers came from the gods. The trick to the gods' power is your heart. Steve Rogers started off as a loser trying to get into the WWII and gets denied several times because of his health and his size. The thing about Steve Rogers is...HE NEVER GIVES UP!!! A German doctor who worked for the United States decided that he is the perfect person to inject the formula into. Steve Rogers didn't immediately become the heroic Captain America. He started off as a mascot for the US defeating Hitler and the German army. He became Captain America when he found out his best friend was taken into capture. He not only busted out his best friend, he also saved thousands of US troops.

The best part of the movie in my opinion is when Captain America busted out the troops that were captured and one of the troops picked up a gun Hydra's scientist created and zapped one of Hydra's men. But that whole break out scene was AWESOME! Best action scene throughout the entire movie!!!

The sad part of the movie is when Captain America goes underwater with Hydra's ship. He was talking to Peggy, and he was finally going to go on a date with her and be with her and finally dance. He finally found the right partner and at the end, he couldn't be with her. I mean, him loosing his best friend was pretty sad, but I think when he sunk the ship into the ocean was sadder.

This Marvel movie was AWESOME and I like how at the end they show how the next movie The Avengers is coming out and how it's all going to play out. Can't wait for next summer :D!!!

I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars!!! If you like great action and Marvel, you will definitely love this movie. See it in 3D though. I saw it both in 2D and 3D and 3D is way better and worth the money.

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 3D


On Friday, July 15th, I saw this Harry Potter movie. Mind you I DO NOT LIKE HARRY POTTER, but my best friend, Deyonna, forced me to watch it, so I decided to start writing blogs about my thoughts on movies. If you are a fan of Harry Potter, you might not want to read this blog :)

I saw it in 3D. It was ok, I guess. If people who like wands blasting as action instead of fist fighting, this is the perfect movie for you. I mean only once I saw someone use their fist, and it was that guy Voldemort hit Harry Potter. That was the most REAL action I've seen in the movie. It sort of made me laugh because they were blasting their wands as if they were actually attacking each other in a real fight. It was too funny!!! Like what kind of fighting is that? I guess the "magical" kinds...lolz

Another thing about the movie I thought was funny was is that Professor McGongall is COCK EYED!!! I mean on the wide screen it is SUPER obvious!!! That was beyond funny.

Also, dude haven't Harry Potter and Ron heard of SUNLIGHT! When they escaped from Ms. Strange's bank they had jumped into a river, I guess, and when they took of their clothes, they were SUPER DUPER PALE! I mean they were white. I mean I know their race is white, but goodness. I guess sun doesn't shine in Harry Potter-land...lolz

The touching part of the movie is because when Professor Snape died and asked Harry to contain his tears and Harry saw whatever happened in Snape's life and how he loved Harry's mother very much. That was the best scene of the whole movie. It makes Snape look completely different. He was supposed to be the bad guy, to only know he was working under cover as a good guy.

Another scene I liked about the movie was when Molly waved her wand at Bellatrix saying "Not my daughter you bitch." and puffed her away. I mean it would've been better if it was a chick fight, but yea, it was still total badass!

I was hoping Harry Potter dies, but he doesn't stay dead...which totally sucked! But at the end it showed his kids, and his friend's kids growing up going to the same lamo school they went to.


Well for people who likes witches and wizards and adventures, this is the movie for you. If you don't...then DO NOT WATCH HARRY POTTER or you will suffer like me.
