Temple Grandin Movie Review

This movie was highly informative on the life of Temple Grandin and her work on cattle and animals through her autism. It's a biology of her life, that even Temple herself says portrays her almost exactly. 

She was always seen as a freak, and her accomplishments were frowned upon due to her interest in exotic and lesser known topics. She is fascinated in cattle and other herd animals, and she has a wonderful insight to the emotional lives of, and behavior of animals. She is thought to be not as good because she has a masters yet works at a cattle ranch. 

This movie is very relatable, and shows things very well through the eyes of Grandin herself. Her photographic memory, and her intense interests. It is very informative not just on a viewpoint about her life, but on a psychological viewpoint into the minds of animals as well. She bends and twists rules in order to work with cattle, which is fascinating to watch. 

The video itself is nicely made. The characters have a ton of personality, and Grandin really seems to suit the part. Even speaking similarly to the real deal. The music involved really seemed to fit the part as well. 

I personally really liked this movie. I don't see much wrong with it at all. It was very emotionally involved. I'd definitely recommend it to anybody who is interested in biographies, or animal psychology.

Review: The Incredible Burt Wonderstein

Just watched this movie, not entirely sure I got my 9 bucks worth. But I'll give you a brief synopsis of what I did, and didn't, like of the movie.

Pro's.

1. They did good with some magic tricks, I was rather fascinated at watching them get to work. illusionment is something most people would find interesting.

2. It was funny! Kinda. It had parts that made me chuckle, and parts that made me cringe, gasp, and be bewildered.

Con's

1. Grotesque. It has a bit of gore, and pain in it. They show this, and amplify it tenfold for gasp-worthy responses. I personally don't mind grotesque, but the way it was portrayed was... SUPPOSED to be comedic... but I think it fell a little short of *chuckle+OMG!!!*

2. Predictable. You could see what was coming a mile away, not much of what happened was really a surprise besides the shock factor mentioned before.

Not a movie I would recommend, unless you want a first persons perspective. That said, the funny parts made it laughable, and the shock factor made you want to look away. Overall, I would say this movie was mildly entertaining. Giving it a 5 out of 10.

Pokemon The Movie 8: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew Movie Review!

Nothing makes you feel better than watching a movie for the second time! This time with a better appreciation of the story, plot, and characters!

I <3 Lucario! He is just the coolest pokemon I have ever seen, so this movie has earned itself a high rating just for that! His batman voice was slightly annoying, but I guess beggers can't be choosers.

The storyline about the past and of a pokemon that lived a thousand years beforehand trying to figure out why his “master” trapped him in a staff is an eye catcher. I will not tell you the whole thing, but pikachu is taken to this “tree” by mew and ash goes to find his friend. Ash and Lucario's master, sir Aaron has the same aura. Go figure. It seems like anything that can go wrong during ash's lifetime does go wrong, and ash is always the one to save it. What a rotten time to be alive, and the chosen one.

The ending kinda threw me off, if it takes an aura master years to learn how to use aura, than it puzzles me how ash was able to use it on a whim like that and never knew of it before, nor ever uses it later. But the ending was also really adorable at the same time (crying Lucario, awwwww!).

I also didn't know mew had the ability to transform into other Pokemon O.o But hey, screw the rules! They have money!

The storyline and everything else made the movie deserve a 7 out of 10, but since it has Lucario in it, I give it a 8 out of 10! It didn't make me stand on edge, nor did it have any truly shocking points, but that's Pokemon for you.

I recommend it! Watch it... NOW!

The Avenger's Movie Review

I just watched this movie today, and I have to admit that it was a pretty good movie. In the theater some of the scenes flashed a little too much and the sound was booming in many scenes, but I guess that's just the cinema for you.

The plot was great, I don't want to go into too much detail and ruin it for anyone. Basically the earth is under attack and they have to college these super-hero's to save the way, which, of course, they do. The main enemy in this movie is Loki, Thor's brother. The characters were also pretty well established, and I enjoyed many of the costumes the characters wore, showed off the muscle and butt <3  they were really well made.

The humor in here is really well established, witty comments and "ownage" galore. I laughed at many of the scenes. There was also lots of explosions, so if you like funny and explosions, watch this movie.

Iron man seems to be the focal character in this whole movie. Although the other characters all get their 15 minutes of fame, it just seemed that Iron man hogged most of the time. Not that it was bad or anything, just an observation.

But I am infatuated with Thor, and Hawkeye was pretty cute too, I would rate this movie as a 9 out of 10. I liked it. And I assume you would too if you watched the previous movies, so you don't get confused.

Howls Moving Castle Review

LOVED IT!

Just like in Kiki's Delivery Service, I was able to fit in quite nicely when the main character. A dress-wearing, depressive, young female who wants more out of life but can't get it. Falls in love with a (pretty hot) guy but does not think she is pretty enough to be able to have anyone like that attracted to her. Sounds like me so far... I would love for a storybook ending like this.

I really liked it, the humor, the fire, the story line, the magic, everything! The only things that puzzles me is at the end when she still has grey hair, I don't remember her spell being broken, even though in many cases she turns from old to young and young to old. But I thought that was mainly for clarity. I also don't understand the premise of the war, they don't seem to mention what exactly the war is for, except the fact that it is happening. All the bad guys are ugly, vile creatures, while all the good guys are very good looking, cliche, but not shocking.

I love romantic movies, and this one had me gasping, and sighing all the way through. I watched this once when I was young, but back then I was not all that interested in the romantic stuff. But if you are not a romantic person, than watch it for the explosions! As entire towns are being blown up, who knows how many dead, by gigantic warships equipped with missiles and flying. creepy, wizard, monster things. So you have the best of both worlds!

I would give this movie a 9 out of 10!
