Day 133 continued - Naruto Shippden: 7 The Last (Japanese)

"Hyuuga Hanabi, the younger sister of Hyuuga Hinata is kidnapped by the alien Ootsutsuki Toneri, and a disheartened Uzumaki Naruto must put himself together to help his new found love save her younger sister. Naruto's abilities are put to the test when he loses his most powerful form - the Sage of Six Paths cloak" - IMDb

I was so looking forward to this movie, but it was a letdown. Not only was the art and animation questionable. The story line was weak! I was finally able to see the romantic duo of Hinata and Naruto! The best parts of the movie come in the middle of the movie and at the end. I did like how Hinata was portrayed, but I wanted something more out of the story. I thought fans were cheated because we didn't get to see their wedding until the credits started rolling, but even then we only saw silhouettes of the characters as the wedding was going on. I suggest only fans of the series watch this film as it's not that good animation wise. 

2/5

Day 133 - The Perfect Guy (American)

"After breaking up with her boyfriend, a professional woman gets involved with a man who seems almost too good to be true."

First off this film doesn't deserve all the hate it is receiving. I actually went to the opening day of this film and I found myself very interested in the movie (especially since someone else paid for my ticket). First off, there are cliches but I think that's kind of fine in movies like this as long as they don't take them too far. I also have a problem with the picture I posted as there is no reason for Sanaa Lathan to be wearing that kind of dress as she is not playing a seductive role. The advertising makes it look like she is balancing a relationship between two men. Michael Ealy was amazing in this film, I say it is his best performance in his whole career. Sanaa and Morris Chestnut also did a good job they made the movie even better. The use of sound was quite good as was the lighing in almost all the scenes. The director, David M. Rosenthal, did a good job with his direction but there are certain spots which could have been better. I did like the police officer and the messages behind the movie as well. I will suggest this movie to women of all kinds and for men who want to see a decent film.

3/5

Day 132 continued - Movie 43 (American)

A set of short skirts being led an all-star cast of actors and actresses. 

Well this movie is a complete piece of trash that is not worth anyone's time. Even with the talent of Richard Gere, Hugh Jackman, Chole Grace Moretz, Gerald Bulter, and many others this movie is a bomb. None of it is actually funny and at times it looks like it takes things too far. I did like the actors they chose for the skits but not the skits themselves. Even though I thought some skits were clever concepts but failed to be anything entertaining. Skip this movie at all costs.

Day 132 - Outcast(American/Chinese/Canadian)

"When the heir of the imperial throne becomes the target of assassination by his despised older brother, the young prince's only hope is the protection of his sister, and the reluctant aid of a war-weary Crusader, Jacob (Hayden Christensen), who must overcome his own personal demons and rally the assistance of the legendary Crusader-turned-bandit, Gallain (Nicolas Cage), to return the prince to his rightful place on the throne" -Wikipedia

I was looking forward to this movie because of the multiple cultures present in the film and fact is you don't see a whole lot of movies that are willing to do this in Hollywood. This movie was a great let down destroyed by horrible acting and a botched story as well as direction. Hayden Christensen simply destroyed his role, I can see why so many Star Wars fans dislike him. Nicholas Cage was alright but something in his performance was missing. Oh! I know what it is, it's heart! I felt nothing from his performance and I simply wish he would go back to seriously acting like he in the movie Leaving Las Vegas. It was nice to see Liu Yifei in the movie but I wish the director had used her better. I don't know what the director was thinking by making this film, it have no real value. It was directed by Nick Powell a stuntman who made his directing debut on this film. Maybe its already time for him to go back to doing stunt work. Overall skip the movie at all costs. 

0.5/5

Day 122 continued - The Deadlands (New Zealand)

After Hongi's clan is slaughtered, he commits to vengeance. With the help of a cursed warrior, the boy sets up to become a warrior and a true man. 

Not the worst film ever but clearly not the best. It was really interesting because it features a culture that I have never heard about. The Maori are an ancient people that reside in what is now known as New Zealand. I think the acting was there on the basis of the cursed warrior as his actor appeared to know what he was doing. I think the main villains and the star of the film were a bit lacking. The lighting was horrible, I understand that the director was probably going for natural lighting but it was really hard to see what was going on at times. Overall the movie is a not impressive enough to be anything better than alright. It's easy to say that this film is horrible because of the way the character act but that could be that you have never seen this culture and you find their actions repugnant. You have to take a step back and analyze not only this movie as a whole but also yourself.

2/5

Day 122 - Fame High (Documentary)

"Everyone dreams of fame. From the nail-biting freshman auditions to the spectacular year-end performances, Fame High captures the in-class and at-home drama, competition" -IMDb

Such a good documentary, It had a great subject matter with real people. Speaking on the style of the film, it had a lot poor edits and poor shots. The best thing was seeing the subject matter aka the students who were trying to either get into a good college or trying to start a career in such a hard field. Everyone present was realistic, nothing really seems forced. It was the kind of documentary that I really needed to watch. I suggest this documentary to everyone in college, high school that needs to be inspired. 

3/5

Day 121 continued - Dumb and Dumber To (American)

"Twenty years since their first adventure, Lloyd and Harry go on a road trip to find Harry's newly discovered daughter, who was given up for adoption." - IMDb

It was nice to see these two back but sometimes while watching the film I felt like it was a little late for a reunion. I also felt like the script was a little to simple which is funny to write. There was still chemistry between the two leads but it felt like the magic of the film was gone. Which is why I stated that it felt like the reunion took to long to do. If you are a fan of the original then you might like it even more. I will suggest this film to those people.

1.7/5
