Easy A-Review


Easy A is about a girl named Olive and she tells a fib. This fib spirals out of control when its overheard by the wrong person, and spread all over school. Just goes to show you how fast rumors really can travel. Olive then is approached to help some guys out with their lame reputations. Olive agrees to it not thinking nothing much of it, other than she is helping out and being nice. The Scarlett Letter is woven all through the plot, and they are even reading it in English. Olive is just hilarious and witty, and Emma Stone as Olive is just fantastic. The entire cast is great so many good people, Lisa Kudrow, Stanley Tucci, and so many more. I really loved this one, and don't want to give away to much, but its worth the trip to the theater. There are some serious notes to the movie, but nothing to heavy. Like I said a totally fun movie, I saw it with my Mom its a great mother/ daughter movie. Some elements might not be cool for young kids but tweens and teens for sure should go. I've also heard lots of other good things about the movie. Did I mention the dude who tried to kill Bella from Twilight is is in it or Dan Humphrey (Pen Badgley) swoon worthy eye candy to rot your brain ladies... Ahh! I just can't push this one on you guys enough! Just trust me on this one.

Alice in Wonderland




I saw this today in 2D no 3D for me that would give me a major headache. I loved it I know a lot of people are skeptical but I'm a pretty big Tim Burton fan. You kind of know what your getting yourself into with him honestly. I was really surprised with this because it had the Tim Burton feel but I found parts of it to be completely original. Plus he is telling a really old tale that almost everyone on the planet is familiar with, but to me it didn't feel stale. I actually loved all the characters. Some people claim that the only thing that saves this movie is Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, yes, he is really incredible, but the other characters are great as well. Johnny Depp was genius he seemed crazy, but you could relate to him. He seemed utterly mad but then he seemed utterly sane at the same time. The Mad Hatter, and all his friends are Revolutionists basically trying spread mutiny throughout the land. They want to knock the bloody red Queen off her throne and restore peace. They all wish for the White Queen to rule but she needs Alice as a champion. Alice is great and the girl who plays her is really perfect in my opinion. Anne Hathaway as the White Queen was a perfect fit as well. The entire movie just worked for me I was completely entertained and so was my brother. I was for sure he would be passed out in his chair snoring, but he loved it. Its a Disney movie I saw a lot of little kids, and none of them screamed or cried but it has some kind of creeptastic moments. I mean it isn't disgusting, but its a Tim Burton movie. Like I said though no kids screamed or cried its no worse than a Harry Potter movie.

Percy Jackson (The Lightning Thief)-Movie


I finally saw this movie I just finished the book not that long ago, and I must say I was happy with the movie. I mean YES they did leave things out, but I expect that with movies. I just really wish a few memorable fight scenes would have been left in..I'm just saying. I was happy with the casting, and Grover the Satyr had some funny one liners. The Gods were great they were HUGE, and when in Godlike form they were awesome. Logan Lerman as Percy entertained me I really like him as an actor. I don't know if it was just me but I thought some scenes were kind of dark and hard to see. Still really great scenes I just had to squint a little bit I might just be getting old haha.
