The last movie I saw was Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart. It’s a European movie and I really like it! I realized after watching the movie twice, that they are only 14 years old. The background of the movie is kinda sad, but it’s very interesting. I want to read the book, but I haven’t had the chance to buy it. I love this movie and I would recommend it!!

Evelyn Prentice (1934)- 7\10

A good movie, as always William Powell and Myrna Loy as always fantastic together.
This was the 3rd of the 14 movies they did together.

Let’s see, the last movie I saw was newer Carrie movies 1 and 2. The first one I’ll give it a decent enough rating at say a 8 out of 10 but I have to give the second one more of a 6 or 7 out of 10 because it just seems more like a remake of the original movie to begin with. Just a little bit different of a plot and new setting to go with it but same powers and same lifestyle that started it.

The Seven Samurai (1954 - Japan)

One of the finest movies ever made. 5 Stars - no question about it

Mine was the "Freedom Writers". It was about some highschool kids who were involved in gang life and how a teacher, "Ms.G" turned their lives for the better. What I love the most about that film is the strategies that Ms.G used to influence them for a better life. Her strength, courage and commitment is truly remarkable!

I would give it a 4 out of 4 star for the film. I also believe that the book is available

"The Last Unicorn" I would give it a 9/10 rating I feel it was a great adaptation of the novel.

Wonder Woman!! I hardly ever watch movies, let alone pay an arm and a leg to watch one at the theater. But this one was a goody! Women empowerment was the overall theme and I took in every moment. I rate this movie 4/4 stars. Hands down. :D

CAUTION: SPOILERS

The last movie I saw in theaters was Justice League. This movie was completely "meh" in most every way possible. Not offensively bad like Batman V Superman, but certainly not good either. Everything came across as shallow and the CGI bad guy is the absolute worst. Why on earth did they need to go all CGI and not use an actor?

I do totally agree with studio execs that forced them to keep the run time under two hours. Since everyone NOT Wonder Woman in this cinematic universe is terribly one dimensional, adding thirty minutes or more of mindless prattle would have been a terrible idea. Basically, there is no developing characters this shallow to start with... might as well go all video game cut scene action. As for Wonder Woman, THAT is the true ace the WB has going for them. Not the character so much as the actress they stumbled upon to play her. Talk about finding absolute gold. Gal Gadot hypnotizes and captivates on screen no matter what she is doing. Add action to her natural beauty and charm and you literally can't get enough of her in to the story. I'm sure they realize that the focus should be on her from here forward.

Of the new characters, only Cyborg has any hint of depth at all. Both Flash and Aquaman are cardboard wastes so far. So, the DCEU is truly stuck in the shallow end of the pool but maybe Wonder Woman can single-handedly tow the universe to deeper and more interesting waters.

Best overall quote I've read: "Justice League was the cinematic equivalent of watching a classmate give a presentation they totally forgot about"

So basically I’m giving this movie a 6/10.

I saw The Justice League about two weeks ago. It’s not as bad as the critics are saying, but I do feel a little burned out on superhero films. Perhaps I’m not the only one, and that’s why it hasn’t done very well.

You know, I was very disappointed in this film. It wasn't at all what I was expecting it to be. It was more of a historical film than a superhero film. Perhaps it's just me, though?

I hardly ever go by what the critics say. I usually don't agree with them. I haven't seen this one yet.
