The Maze Runner

Yesterday, my family and I got to see The Maze Runner. One word to describe this movie: AMAZING!!! I absolutely love the book and now love the movie. The movie was about Thomas waking up and finding himself in this place full of boys ranging from little tweens to young adults. This place, named the Glade, is in the center of this maze that the boys have been trying to find a way out. And as soon as Thomas comes into the picture, everything starts to change. I would definitely recommend this movie to everyone who's into science fiction-y type movies or people who liked Divergent. This movie would definitely rank at my top 5 best movies list. This is a 10 out of 10 for me and I really can't wait to see Maze Runner: Scorch Trials that's supposed to be coming out next year!!!

Guardians of the Galaxy

Yesterday, my dad took Gracie and me to the movies. We watched Guardians of the Galaxy. The movie was basically about Peter Quill, known as the Star-Lord, that was taken away from his family after his mom died from cancer. He grew up to become a famous thief and comes across this orb that he later learns has enough power to destroy the universe. Quill along with his four friends find themselves as prime targets of Ronan the Accuser when they discover that his main goal is to destroy the planet of Xandar. This movie was just absolutely awesome. I can totally see how this movie was the number one blockbuster. This movie had the action, the adventure, the witty comments, and a touch of romance all put together. I would definitely rate this movie a 5 out of 5 for it's humor and action.

Ender's Game

Earlier this week, my family and I got to watch Ender's Game. The movie was about Ender Wiggin being recruited into a International Military program to defeat the Formics, a alien race that nearly destroyed the human race years before. Throughout his time through the different schools, Ender is faced with choices and is called up to be trained as the commander of the fleet that will go and annihilate the Formics race before they can complete their unfinished job. This movie was a 5 out of 5 and for several reasons. I, for one, love science fiction and this movie was packed with science fiction. The movie had some sentimental parts. One being the part when Ender's sister Valentine convinced Ender to go back into the program after he quit. I would definitely go to see the second movie if it came out. I just hope they don't leave a big cliff hanger like this one.

Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters

Earlier this week, my family and I went to the movies for my sister's birthday. We watched Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters. The movie is a sequel to Percy Jackson & The Lightning Theif. It was about Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson embarking on a quest to find the magical golden fleece that would save their camp. While doing this, they have to try and stop their old friend Luke to save Olympus and keep Kronos from rising. I think that the movie was good, but I would say that from a scale from one to ten, it would be a five. I would say it's a five because the movie didn't really follow through with the book and the acting wasn't really good. Though there is talk about a third movie.

Gravity

The first movie that we saw yesterday was called Gravity. Gravity is about medical engineer, Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), and astronaut, Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), working together to survive an accident that involves them being stranded in space. This movie was one of the best movies that I've watched. I was so emotional in this because one I'm a girl and I just kind of get emotional in these really sad movies and two because I thought that at some parts it was just very sad. This movie was really good, but I think that it could have been better. Sandra Bullock did an amazing job being the main character, Ryan Stone. One of the most saddest parts is when Ryan is in the ISS space shuttle and she sees Matt (George Clooney). He tells her how to get to this Chinese satellite. What makes this scene sad is he is practically told her to not give up and that she was going to make it. From 1 to 10, 1 being horrible and 10 being awesome, I would rate this movie a 9 because the ending kind of sucked because we know that she was alive, but you didn't know if someone found her.

My Sunday

Yesterday, my dad took us to the mall to watch movies. We went to check the time of the first movie, then we went to walk around the mall. We went to a shoe store and my mom and sisters all tried on stilletos. Gracie was walking around in black five-inch stilettos. She's almost 3 feet, so adding five inches makes her look like a little giant. We went to Bath and Body Works next. I absolutely love their lotions and candles. Some smell so good that it makes you a little hungry. We tried on this sugar scrub and it felt great. I love their perfumes so much. My favorite one that I saw yesterday was this apple one. It smelt great. We spent so much time in there that we didn't get to go anywhere else before the movies.

Elysium

Yesterday, my dad took the family to the movie theatre. We got to watch Elysium. Elysium is about a Max (Matt Damon) who undergoes this mission to bring equality to these two planets, one of them being a polluted Earth and the other the luxurious Elysium. While doing this, Max reconnects with a childhood friend, Frey (Alice Braga). This is probably one of my favorite movies that I've watched this year. I would rate this movie a 9 out of 10. This movie would be a good movie for more older kids because it does include some language throughout the movie.

World War Z

Last night, my family and I went to the movies to go and watch World War Z. The movie is about how the virus is spreading across the world and is pretty much turning the people to zombies. Brad Pitt is the lead character in this movie and takes you on a journey of all the places that he goes to try and find a cure for the living people. I would rate this movie a 10 out of 10 because it has lots of action and is a perfect family film, only if you like to watch movies with zombies.

The Wolverine

Today, my dad took my mom, sisters, and I to the movie theatre. We watched The Wolverine. It takes place in modern Japan where Wolverine reconnects with his old acquaintance, Yashida, and faces things that he's never faced before; both emotionally and physically pushed to the maximum. During this journey that will forever change his life, he meets Mariko and Yukio, both grand daughters of Yashida. I would recommend this movie to somebody who can watch movies that move slowly, but still have that little bit of action every now and then. I would rate this movie, from a 1-10 scale, a 5 because it started full of action and ended really dull.
