Review: Maleficent (2014)

Reviewed: Maleficent – Digital 2D

At first, I was skeptical of Angelina Jolie playing the role of Maleficent but, after watching the movie, she did a pretty good job with the role. She was evil, funny and loving which made the movie both entertaining and memorable.

If you were a fan of “Sleeping Beauty” as was I, Maleficent is slightly different from what you may remember. Although the storyline may have a few twists and tweaks here and there, it still has the feel of a classic Disney movie without too much kid stuff (if that makes sense). The movie, in my opinion, appeals well to all audiences — although some moments may be a little tough for children to watch but, then again that is why its PG. I was surprised by the sheer number of times I laughed during the movie and the quality of the graphics — I really regretted not watching it in 3D.

Want a good movie to watch this weekend with the kids (or not), then make sure to catch Maleficent in theaters, its definitely a summer-must-watch.

Review: Godzilla (2014) [Action / SciFi]

Reviewed: Godzilla (2014) in IMAX 3D

To sum it up in one word (or two), Godzilla (2014) is BAD-ASS.

The 2014 adaptation of ‘classic’ Godzilla is based in the Pacific Ocean and surround areas, unlike the 1998 version based in New York City. At first, I was a bit skeptical, hearing a lot of negativity from fans but, after watching it, I would definitely go back and watch it again.

The production quality and especially the graphics were superb — almost elegant in nature. The most memorable moment where I was in awe of the graphics was when Godzilla emerged from a plume of dust and debris. There were a lot of moments, especially during the fighting scenes, where the sheer quality and badassery of the scene made me laugh followed by a “holy sh*t” or “wow” afterwords.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, I did have some personal/fanboy issues with the story line; some characters don’t last as long as I imagined and there was a ‘way too dramatic’ scene where Godzilla is pronounced ‘Gojira’. It should of been a dramatic scene but, I couldn’t help but to chuckle at it. Other than that, I had no issue with the movie. The production team did a really good job of finishing the movie with a slight cliff hanger leaving the audience prepared for a sequel which is a good thing because no one likes a forced sequel either. Some may find that Godzilla needs to hit the gym, a bit thicker than the usual Godzilla everyone imagines, but it isn’t really an issue at all. This Godzilla is still pretty badass.

At the end of it all, ‘Godzilla (2014)’ is a must-see movie — a great way to start off the Summer/Spring of epic movies. If you get a chance to, watch it in IMAX 3D. I’m not much of a 3D lover, some movies just don’t need it but, Godzilla is one of those movies that watching it in 3D just makes it that much better.

In Theaters tomorrow, 05/16/2014.

Washington, D.C. – A big budget Godzilla movie hasn’t been made since 1998, back when I was just a toddler. Now Legendary and Warner Brothers have teamed up to create a new version of the Japanese classic, as cliche as it may sound, IN 3D! Pictured above is a snippet from the Comi-Con 2012 teaser showing the “new” Godzilla.

According to a Comi-Con 2012 teaser of the movie, Godzilla will face a new enemy — a giant insect believed to be a centipede (still no confirmation from the production team). The new Godzilla movie will be released on May 16th, 2014.
