Even if you don't believe me, this film review has been requested by many of you and that makes me ecstatic and everything happy-adjectives related...
I'm like a week late, but here it is! X-Men: Days of Future Past review!
I went to see it last Sunday, and I was not expecting anything, I had my mind clear, without any hopes up and just went it to soak it all in, of course I have heard and read that the movie had exceeded a lot and I was like excited, but not like piling up all my thoughts on it.
Here I go: (a mini list of course and again, since I don't read the comics, I'll mostly write about my favorite scenes and/or geek out because of the effects and acting.) Also, SPOILERS AHEAD.
The acting: this cast, people, this cast is pure perfection. Come on, Mystique's decision was the one who changed the X-Men's fate and who better to play that role that the fantastic Jennifer Lawrence. Unlike her acting in First Class, which she didn't shine that much, in Days of Future Past, she went to infinity and beyond. I love Hugh Jackman, he's the best Wolverine and the only one that should exist and his dynamic with young Charles Xavier and Erik (Magneto) was tremendous. McAvoy, Fassy and Jackman should do more movies together. Peter Dinklage, enough said. Nicholas Holt (Beast) such a cutie and his endless love for Mystique makes me cry every time. Finally, James Mcavoy and Patrick Stewart's scene just killed me. Perfect motivation for a perfect plot and it made an amazing film.
Favorite scenes: I loved the whole movie. Totally difficult for me to write about the whole movie don't you think, but here's a few that stood out:
Quicksilver rescuing Magneto: YAS, can we have more Quicksilver in the future?
Obviously, the future war and the past's feud in where Magneto lifted the baseball park and used the Sentinels to declare war on humans. LOVED THE TENSION and the future/past transition.
Loved the many times Xavier was on Mystique's head and she didn't want to be convinced to not kill Trask...
And when Mystique shot Magneto. Yup.
Finally, you have to see this newest Marvel masterpiece, made it short to prevent any more spoilers lol, but enjoy!
Here is the trailer and comment whatever you feel, if you saw the movie already! Give me your opinions! Write to you later, lovelies!
HELLOOOOOOOOO!
Long time no writing about things I've been loving lately so here I am!
The music I've been loving recently and that I desperately need you to know about is Coldplay's new album, Ghost Stories, is perfection. All of their songs are the definition of love and it is so calming and soothing to listen to! My favorite songs are Always in my Head, A Sky full of Stars, Midnight and of course, their hit from the album, Magic. You can listen to their album on Youtube, or buy and download in iTunes, or buy it on a music store near you!
Listen to Midnight here!
I've also been listening to the band CHVRCHES quite a lot this last month! I love their electronic-indie music and they sing fantastic, especially Lauren Mayberry's voice. So awesome! Their album, The Bones of What You Believe have been an obsession for the last month, and my favorite songs are The Mother We Share, We Sink and Recover.
The Mother We Share
Yesterday, I FINALLY decided to watch Orphan Black a Canadian TV series starring Tatiana Maslany, that airs in BBC America, where this woman returns to her home ten months later when she witnesses the death of a woman who looks exactly like her and the events that lead her to discover what is going on! I don't want to spoil that much, but it is fantastic, and Tatiana's acting is phenomenal and I'm in episode 4 still! I can't wait to get to know the story more and I love that the series resembles BBC Sherlock's atmosphere, and it makes the show have that suspense and element of surprise! I love it!
Trailer of the series:
THERE YOU HAVE LOVELIES, I'M ALSO GOING TO WRITE A REVIEW OF X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST! STARRING MICHAEL FASSBENDER, JAMES MCAVOY, NICHOLAS HOULT, HUGH JACKMAN AND JENNIFER LAWRENCE!
I've been called crazy to write a whole post about three different movies, but since my time has been limited, I shall now have the opportunity to write about the latest movies I've seen.
FIRST, (I just got back home from the movie theater, because I had to see it on its opening weekend) is The Amazing Spiderman 2!
I've never cried so much in a movie before, not like 4 times in the same night with true sentiment.
1) The cast: I mean come on, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone's chemistry is off the charts, I mean they are boyfriend and girlfriend in real life so of course we have this perfect combo of feels, because of them. Jamie Foxx as Electro, Spidey's new nemesis, was truly perfect, him from being Spiderman's obsessive fanboy to a badass villain was a great transition. Dane Deehan as Harry Osborne/Green Goblin, I mean I loved how James Franco played that character in the older movie versions of Spiderman, but this amazing actor brought his game and truly gave it a more darker and even scarier side, I wanted to see more of his evil plans. Aunt May (Sally Field) I mean come on, this woman on her beautiful scenes, just makes me cry because her performances are always key to Peter Parker and I just can't handle the perfection.
2) THE SPECIAL EFFECTS AND THE SLOW MOTION SEQUENCES AND THE COLORS AND SCENERIES. THAT IS ALL.
3) I loved that the movie just surprised me, because I wasn't expecting anything in particular, just something about Gwen's (SPOILER), but other than that, I wanted this movie to blow my mind. AND IT DID. RACHEL'S MIND WAS BLOWN.
Go see it, I want to watch it like a million times more!
Here is the trailer and Andrew Garfield's face is worth it all.
The second movie I want you to check out is The Spectacular Now (no spoilers, I promise):
I watched this one last week, because I wanted to watch more of Shailene Woodley's acting, since I've read she is a badass actress who really captivates, and I finally made time to watch the movie, who also stars along with her, Miles Teller. Both of them are also in Divergent, so this movie was bound to be seen.
1) Plot was genius and refreshing: it is a coming of age movie. We have this cute protagonist, who likes to party and live in the now, quoting him, Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) while Aimee Finicky (Shailene Woodley) is a girl who does have dreams and believes that things have a purpose and even if she faces obstacles, she has a smile on her face, she isn't selfish, but thinks of others before herself.
2) Since we focus on Sutter's point of view, we truly suffer along with him and how he faces his truths, how he falls in love with Aimee, and how he begins to think of his future. We normally thought like him in high school, doubting about our abilities to become someone important.
3) I think everyone should watch this movie, because it can give you new sides to see your life, how ordinary things make life so precious and how we need to value ourselves no matter what obstacles we face.
CHECK IT OUT, Definitely a new favorite of mine:
Third movie: DON JON. Joseph Gordon Levitt's masterpiece.
For this movie, I wanted to see it ever since it was in the movie theaters, but since Netflix uploaded it recently, I finally had the chance to watch it.
I love Joseph Gordon Levitt, and I would go ga ga for him in anything he does. This is his HitRecordJoe (his film business) first legit film directed and written by him. Basically it is centered on Jon's life, his ordinary and boring routine with that secret of his obsession with porn. I think this movie was beautiful, because it is not this typical film where we see that this guy has a mediocre life and this woman comes and sweeps him of his feet and he becomes a sweet and pure guy, no. We see how this affects him, how he tries to become this thing he's not when he's with Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) and then he meets Esther (Julianne Moore) who has survived, even though a secret is killing her and Jon never actually cares for her until the end, where he's invested in his curiosity for her, an older woman who may just have changed him a bit, not a complete change like in typical romantic comedies, but we see the beautiful process in the movie.
A great flick to watch on your free time:
Happy movie watching lovelies!
Until the next post!
