Blackhat Trailer

I don't want to rabble on about how bad this movie looks. It's almost a guaranteed fail. Chris Hemsworth is the entire cast (not really, but only good cast member). It's directed by Michael Mann, who makes a good movie about once a millennium. And I don't know, it looks terrible. Sure, this trailer is certainly an improvement over the 27 others, but it's nothing special.

Insurgent Trailer

The first trailer for Insurgent was more a really shitty preview that no one was satisfied with. The second trailer, however, was the complete opposite. It was completely action-packed (impressive action, and not the shit from the first movie), showed better acting, and was backed off by a great soundtrack. I'm sold.

The Gunman Trailer

The Gunman could possibly be a great movie. Look at the facts. The cast has a two-time Oscar winner, a one time Oscar winner, and a one-time golden globe winner. Based on that, chances are the movie is going to have some great acting. Based on the trailer, I would say the genre of the film is crime-thriller. A dark crime-thriller. And that fits each actors resume, too. With perfect parts for each, solid casting, and strong action, it looks good.

Brad Bird Animation: The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille

The Iron Giant
The Iron Giant is one of my favorite animated films ever. At first, it doesn't seem too great, but that's because you haven't met the character who makes the entire film. The Iron Giant is an awesome, and he fills the story with emotion and adventure. But, great characters don't stop there. Hogarth, Dean, and the villain of the story, Kent Mansley, all play together perfectly and are enjoyable to watch. The story is brilliant, and filled with (inappropriate for an animated film) comedy, action, and adventure.
Movie Rating: A-

The Incredibles
I think the Incredible is overrated. There was really only one thing incredible about it: the amazing action. The action is just as great or even better than a great modern action summer blockbuster. But the rest of the film is so-so. The cast is mostly unknown, and the characters are very likeable, especially Elastigirl. I liked Mr. Incredible and Frozone, though. The villain is good, but the movie itself just isn't great.
Movie Rating: B

Ratatouille
Out of the animated films about animals and how they live, Ratatouille is the one the most original and one the best. Who would ever think to do it on rats? At first it's a funny, enjoyable ride into a rat's life. And it gets even better when he becomes a cook. The characters are great, it's funny enough, and the ending couldn't be better.
Movie Rating: B+

Limitless (2011) Review

What movie's entire plot is based off a very specific idea? The answer is: lots of them. In fact, there are too many to count. Plenty of them are science fiction. I'm not sure Limitless qualifies as Sci-Fi, but IMDB says it is, so why not? The idea in Limitless is that a drug called NZT exists and it lets you access one-hundred percent of your mind. It was a good movie, but it could have been done better. A similar idea, in the film Lucy (2014); a girl gets chemicals in her stomach and accesses 100% of her mind, was far too ridiculous and extremely weird to be a good movie. Limitless, however is an intelligent, fantastic view of Eddie Morra's mind. We get to see him move up the ranks, make tons of money and enjoy himself. Also, his life of crime and his neediness of the drug make the story even more interesting. The cast is great: Bradley Cooper has one of his best performances, and DeNiro is just as good as the hateable villain (?). But there are a few more things to would have liked to see. He could have done more with his increased intelligence, and I would have liked to see what happened in the year before his book came out. It's a fun, interesting, story that's lacks in a few ways.
Movie Rating: B+

Million Dollar Arm (2014) Review

After seeing the first few trailers for this movie, I wanted to see it in theaters. And it got decent enough ratings at the time of release as well. I ended up not seeing in theaters because I'm lazy. So I decided I'd see it when it came out on DVD. But, due to me watching less and less movies, I didn't watch until 2 months after it came out. I loved it. The entire film was so incredibly interesting and entertaining. All the characters worked perfectly together, and even produced a little comedy. The story/plot is great and it's even cooler to know that it was based off a true story. Disney sports movies are usually disasters, but this one is their best. I'm just not sure how great it will be for multiple viewings.
Movie Rating: A-

Terminator: Genisys Trailer

I've been waiting for this movie to come out. While all the Terminator films were disappointing to me when I watched them this summer, Terminator: Judgment Day was good. Also, I'm a huge fan of modern action reboots with ensemble casts. Some great examples are: Star Trek (2009), Star Trek: Into Darkness, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Prometheus, The Dark Knight Trilogy, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and The Amazing Spider-Man. I liked those films much better than the original films, even those considered to be classics. There can be bad reboots, though. The Bourne Legacy, Rocky Sequels, A Good Day to Die Hard, Superman Returns, The Matrix Sequels, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and The Hobbit Trilogy (I still loved it) weren't quite as good as their predecessors. I thought Terminator: Genisys would be on the better reboot side. It has a strong cast to back it up; Jason Clarke proved himself in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and in supporting roles in other films, Jai Courtney is becoming a next generation action star in each new movie he does, Emilia Clarke looks great on Game of Thrones (I've haven't seen it, but that's what I've heard), Arnold Schwarzenegger returns, and J.K. Simmons plays some in role in it too. The trailer didn't completely kill every positive thought I had about the movie, but it was definitely less than I expected. The action and cast looks good, but not as great as I hoped, and it looks too much of a Judgment Day remake. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but it has the exact same music as Jason Clarke's big action blockbuster of 2013 "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" trailer #2. With my new doubts about the trailer, I'm no longer thinking that this reboot can save the franchise. But, it is just a trailer.
