American Sniper
My Movie Grading - A
Bradley Cooper did one hell of a job portraying Chris Kyle. Like after seeing his story on Access Hollywood with his wife narrating and then seeing the movie...I highly recommend it. It was def a crowd pleaser and one of very few war movies, I actually enjoyed and wanted to watch. Great film, great story about an American Hero!
Selma
My Movie Grading - A
Everyone has reviewed this movie to death so I'm going to keep mine short and sweet. Excellent portrayals, wonderful acting, a good wholesome storyline and really good directing. This movie was well worth the wait and the hype.
The Gambler
My Movie Grading - F
Now this movie just didn't have any real rhyme or reason as to why it was created. The acting was piss poor, the storyline was boring and uneventful and the film was just not very entertaining. I was extremely disappointed and not at all happy with what I saw. This was one of those films that Hollywood wasted money making. Not worth the money or time put forth to have this on the big screen.
Into the Woods
My Movie Grading - C-
Not at all what I expected. This was a little too corny for my taste and was another film that didn't necessarily need to be bought to the big screen. The songs are cute and quirky but other than that - it was actually all over the place and from what I understand is better as a play rather than a film. It all made sense though because I think again - Hollywood has not realized that not everything needs to be made into a movie - some things are better left alone.
The Book of Life
My Movie Grading - B
This was a really cute film. Animated but really adorable storyline that made sense and was well worth the wait. I quite enjoyed the film and would definitely watch it again. Good movie for small kids.
That's my take,
