The Lego Movie

Starring
Chris Pratt
Will Ferrell
Will Arnet
Morgan Freeman
Liam Neeson
Jadan Sand


Legos were made to be fun for not only kids but for adults as well. Legos came in all sorts of collections from Military, Film adaptations, Nascar just to name a few. The best is when you would buy a big bucket of mixed items and use your imagination to make whatever.


This movie is just about what I was describing from above. The story of Emmet (voiced by Pratt) is the tale of a young everyday worker who is following the rules of life until he finds out he is the chosen one and has to save the lego land people. Emmitt is at a loss cause he has been told that he can stop President Business (Ferrell) plan to use the evil Krackle on everyone. All Emmitt has to do is use his mind and he can make any contraption come to life. Emmitt isn't alone in this quest. He has the team of Batman (arnet) Wyldstyle (Elizabeth banks) to help him along the way.


The movie moves along with us finding out that Emmitt cant form or build many things with his mind except for a double decker couch. Each superstar appearance made by superheroes, wizards and presidents try to believe in him and just lose face.


There is a reason why Emmitt is kind of inept and we see when we get a flash to real life and see who is controlling Emmitt and his adventures. It is a little boy whose has the imagination and will to make some great and fun things but he has to obey his dads rules and everything has to be kept neat and built properly. When dad finally listens to his son and sees that chaos can be had and he allows his sons imagination reignite his own we see another flash back to Emmet saving the day.


This movie was full of laughs has a great song and in conclusion "Honey, where's my pants?"

Were The Millers

Jason Sudeikis
Jennifer Anniston
Emma Roberts
Will Poulter
Ed Helms

There have been many movies over the years about drugs and ways of smuggling them all over the world. None of them have been as funny or entertaining as this film is. This is you classic story of a drug dealer who is work for a king pin (so to speak) who has an unforutniate problem in his life where he owes over $40k to the drug lord (yet again so to speak) He has been given the opportunity to smuggle a "Smidge" pot back into the US and bring it back and his debt will be for given. He will also be paid for his journey. However a one person crew to do this not possible. He needs a team or in this case a family. Lets Meet them

David Miller (CLark) played by Sudeikis is our Denver drug dealer who is in this jam and has to find three other people to complete this façade. He has never been more than a drug dealer in his life and only has his eyes set on the prize of drugs and brining back to save his own ass.

Rose Miller (O'reiley) played by Anniston is a stripper in a bar and lives in the same apt building as Sudiekis. She hates doing what she is doing and soon finds out her boyfriend has run off with everything and left her in a point where she is being evicted  and has to join this merry bunch and excepts a certain amount of money from what David will pay her to come along.

Casey Miller (Mathis) played by Emma Roberts is a loner slash as we interpret it homeless girl who fits the profile of being the daughter for this trip. Nora plays kind of a rebel bad ass and ends up finding the family she never had and gets close to them.

Kenny Miller (Rossmore) player by poulter is the funniest one of the bunch. He plays Kenny a sweet hearted love puppy of a kid who looks up to David as a father figure. He is a bit slow and gets talked into doing things he should do and learns some things for people in this film that a lot of us whish we could learn from. He wants this tightknit group to remain together but yet agaon David is only in it to win it so to speak.

Throughout the movie there are great funny scenes which prohibit them from reaching their goal of getting home, be it inscets, Mexican drug cartels, the US DEA or more antics but eventually it all works out. The movie rates a high 7/10 on my list. I have seen it over 50 times and it still as funny as it was from the first time I saw it.

Need For Speed 2014

Aaron Paul
Dominic Cooper
Michael Keaton


This is the take off on the classic game Need for Speed in which there have been five different titles of the past few years. The game has a huge following and the fan base keeps growing higher with each new release. One of the biggest releases was Hit Pursuit in which would could play as a racer that was trying to win many long distance races with the police bearing down on you or play as the police and stop the racer from completing his race. The game became so popular that they took it to the next level and made a movie.

Aaron Paul (Toby Marshall) was recruited after his success on the hit show Breaking bad. His demeanor and style of acting fit the character they were look for and it so works. Dominic cooper (Dino Brewster) plays the rival in this movie in which he believes  he his the best but knows that until he beats Marshal no one will look to him in that respect.

The movie begins with us finding out Marshall's father had passed of leaving him a business that is in bad financial debt. Marshall is given the opportunity to finish a car in which Ford and Shelby were working on themselves. A completion of this car could bring big bucks. Marshall gets one interested buyer and w/o Brewster's permission  he shows what it can do and sells the card for a substantial profit. Brewster hates the idea that Marshall drove it and offers him a chance to win Dino's share of the pot. Well I don't want to describe what happens but it's an amazing race which was driven on I 684 is Westchester NY  (I have driven this route but no where near the speeds they hit. I maybe broke 100mph.) Cause of the race Marshall ends up in jail and you have to watch to see why.

Keaton who plays "The Monarch" is a mysterious man who finances a race know as the Deleon. The most secret race on the west coast in which Marshall intends to get invited to get retribution on Brewster and clear his name. There are a lot of high flying stunts that are truly amazing and some wrecks that will make you cry for the car that was lost.

Enders Game 2013

Starring
Asa Butterfield
Harrison Ford
Ben Kingsley
Mosies Arias
and
Abigail Breslin



This movie is based off a book series which I have had the pleasure of reading the first book. I was really intrigued and captivated by the story line that I read it over and over again to try and find little things I missed. I have not read other books in the series cause I got backed up on other books with many different books in them. When I saw that they were making a movie about Enders Game I was excited to see one of my favorite book being brought to life.

The story is about a alien colony known as the Formics had attacked earth fifty years prior to the point we are now. They were defeated by a pilot know to us as Mazar Rackham (Kingsley) but the belief of earths defense is that the Formics will be back. The new attitude is that by the time the Formics return the experienced defense capable commanders will be long gone and begin seeking younger very talented youth who show extensive skill in strategy, logic, astro physics and co course leader ship.

Andrew "Ender" Wiggin is just one of those special individuals who has all these traits and is recruited to go to battle school to hone in his talents and try to make it to the ultimate challenge of command school, but like any challenge obstacles will be in his way. One the emotional challenges  he has to deal with is  his family especially the close relationship with his sister Valentine (Breslin), a over bearing and challenger commander Col Graff "Ford" and a another prodigy Bonzo "Arais" who is severely threatened by Wiggin that he will do anything to make him feel lower than dirt. Bonzo is the top dog for the top spot until Wiggin is traded to his team.

Wiggin has a lot of obstacles to over come to become the one who will or will not be the successor of the command school to lead an army against the Formics before they make an attempt to attempt to attack earth again. Wiggin had to find the inner leadership in his self but also learn to trust the people around him to work with him in his army to make it all happen. Does he do it you have to watch and find out.

All in all this movie followed the book to heart but like any transfer from print to screen little challenges arise. I suggest you watch the film first then the book since the book has a series and if you want to continue his adventure you can choose to at that time.
