Now, I know that it’s been awhile since my last post, but I
was getting multiple comments from people like, “When are you going to write
your next blog?” or “It’s been over a month since your last blog post.” Now,
were a couple of those my parents? Yeah, but that’s not the point. I was
enjoying the fact that people wanted to read what I had to say.
This past weekend, I was sick, so I took a couple of days
off work to recover which meant one thing: I was going to watch movies that I
would never have thought to watch before. Let me explain the type of person I
am once a sickness arises. Usually, I still go to work and I never see a
doctor. I can never understand what the doctor is saying and he always scoots
his chair freakishly close to me that makes me feel uncomfortable. Then, he
gives me this medicine that just delays the sickness for a couple of months. I
try to go the all-natural way by eating fruit and juicing like I’ve juiced
before. The reason why I didn’t go into work this time was because a few months
ago I caught a bug that literally got about 90% of our office ill. Our office
consists of around 40 people. You do the math. So, I learned my lesson this
time. I stayed home watched the entire season 2 of The Office and a ridiculous amount of movies. There were 5 movies
that I watched this past weekend so here’s my review on them:
·
Looper-
3 Stars
o
Bruce has finally got over the 1 star hump. 16 Blocks was his last good movie which
was in 2006. This movie really requires your undivided attention. Honestly, I
was lost for the first 30 minutes. The best way to describe the movie is this: Inception meets Die Hard meets Field of
Dreams meets Angels in the Outfield.
You will need to watch all of these movies to get this. Anyways, Bruce, you did
it man. Way to go.

Silver
Linings Playbook- 3 ½ stars
o
Bradley Cooper does a great job on his part.
Honestly, I believe he deserves Best Actor more than Jennifer Lawrence deserved
Best Actress. Not to take anything from Jennifer Lawrence, but Bradley Cooper
had me laughing the entire movie. A lot of people were surprised when I thought
that the movie was hilarious. Check out the genre it’s put in at Redbox. That’s
what I thought.
·
Jack and
the Giant Slayer- 2 ½ stars
o
Just because it’s 2 ½ stars doesn’t mean that I
thought it was a bad movie. I actually liked it and am liking it more as I
write this, so actually I would put this at a 3 star movie as well. Now, I don’t
remember this version of Jack and the
Bean Stock as a child, but if this movie was the original version of the
story, then it would have been added with Goosebumps
as the books that were banned for me as a child.
·
Pitch
Perfect- 3 ½ stars
o
Sweet movie. Hilarious and also pretty
impressive. Fat Amy is funnier than Melissa McCarthy, but I’m getting too
anxious to write my next review so here it is.
·
The Call-
4 stars
o
I know. This is a shocker. There are many
reasons for this rating. For starters, WWE Studios produced this movie, so I
immediately knew it was going to be awesome. This movie kept me on the edge of
my seat the entire time. Is it a classic? No, but it’s not supposed to be. It
did exactly what it’s supposed to, and that’s to keep people on their toes and
be able to predict the entire movie. Another plus was Halle Berry, who has the
gift of not aging.
I recommend watching all of these movies. They’re all pretty
good. None of them are necessarily classics, except for Silver Linings
Playbook, but they get the job done. You're welcome.
