Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
What if I told you there is a school where you learn how to become a Wizard? Well, it all happens at a very prestigious and secretive school- only known to the families who have magical ancestors or relatives, rests the vast castle called "Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." And how'd you react if you had a destiny all planned out since you were born? This is in the circumstances for a young boy named "Harry Potter".
The first film adaptation of the international bestselling book series, "Harry Potter" is filled with tons of wonder, magic, and fun. It is no doubt to be a hit with younger audiences and to those who've read the novel will alike be engrossed in the film from start to finish.
"Mrs. Doubtfire, Home Alone" director (Chris Columbus) swiftly and gracefully executed something that will be treasured for generations.
Bursting in the film, is a delightful composition by (John Williams). His work is absolutely magical, and it is as perfect as this treasured film.
The film boasts with a tremendous cast, which makes it all worthwhile. They all are terrific on screen and their grace never loses its spark of perfection.
Being that-as-it may, there is no actual such a place where people go to learn how to become the world's greatest witch or wizard, everyone just needs a little magic as a distraction, to boost their spirits. And author of the novel, (J.K Rowling) has written something utterly imaginative. Film fanatics and bookworms will be in awe of the creativity of this cinematic wonder.
"Warner Bros. presents a Chris Columbus film. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Tom Felton. Rated: PG(for some scary moments and mild language.)" Runtime: 2 Hours & 39 Minutes.

Imperium (2016)
It is no doubt that racism has plagued our society, and that there are actually people out there who believe on race is superior to the other plus minorities. But, what if there was an actual legitimate way to cease racism? Well, "Imperium" details how one guy (with the FBI's assistance) took down a major racist cult in order to prevent a catastrophe.
Probably shocking to some, this film is based on real-life events that most likely occurred within the past decade, maybe in the late years of the last century. It is also terrifying and unfathomable that someone could be so hateful, (But then again, you've got: Adolf Hitler, Bin Laden, and Saddam). Today's racism is just as evil as these followers mentioned earlier, but it does match up to the supremacists that everso plague The U.S.A and the entire world.
In the film, it depicts at extreme lengths, how racism is a major global problem, therefore racism is an epidemic and it must be vanquished.
"Imperium" offers an authentic and knowledgeable ensemble. Its stars (Daniel Radcliffe) and (Toni Collette) deliver in this chilling drama.
An (EDM) styled score perfectly executed, is just as thrilling as the film itself. It's haunting, fast-paced, and got that sense of terror.
If racism isn't a problem, then what is? When you've got fascists, hard-core traditionals, and as far right people on the political spectrum you can possibly go, it's hard not trying to not avoid such a volatile topic, because it is so important. And one film, "Imperium" chronicles the horrors of (and the history) of the satanic word: "Racism", ever so brilliantly, and has to also be viewed not just as a "True-story" film, it's also a "Horror" movie.
"Tycor International Film Company presents a Daniel Ragussis film. Imperium stars: Toni Collette and Daniel Radcliffe. Now playing in select cinemas. Rated R (for language throughout) Runtime: 108 Minutes."

And it is magnificent.

Sausage Party (2016)
It's "Toy Story" gone rogue to the highest degree. But only this time, delectable edibles are the main culprits of insanity. The film takes place on the Fourth of July weekend, and you know what that means: Barbecues Fireworks, and endless amounts of consumption of food. The latest comedic attempt from mediocre funny man Seth Rogen, is one of the worst things to ever come out of the bowels in Hollywood.
Food, Drinks, and other forms of consumption live in harmony at a grocery store called "Shopwell's". Each and every morning when the store opens for business, all delicacies burst out in a song about the "Gods" also-known-as Humans. The plethora of delicacies are so determined, confident, and rambunctious as they anticipate to be taken off their respective shelves and come home with us to "The Great Beyond". Little did the very enthused decadents know that they are in for an extremely rude awakening.
This was certainly a massive decline from other raunchy, sexualized, and racist animated "R" rated feature films, such as 1999's "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut". "Sausage Party" fails big time at being consistent with its craft. As for the overall attempt to address major issues like: same-sex marriage, immigration, politics, and race & ethnic background is simply crude and jaw-dropping. It's mockery of all these issues is just unbelievably dry and not the least bit amusing.
While the film also tries to mock real-world issues, the film also pokes fun at and mocks disability. A very stupid and not relevant character "Gum", is being portrayed as if it is science enthusiast "Stephen Hawking". The movie portrays the character as an invalid and weakling. The team on the film tried to make this secondary character funny as-can-be, however, it's just another piss-poor attempt to accurately and genuinely portray and interpret disability in Hollywood in the cinema and on television.
As if it weren't already sexually provocative, offensive and widely racist enough, the flow of the film is utterly choppy. Meanwhile, the film is occupied with a very low quality screenplay and stupid characters. As it appeals to older audiences and not to ever be witnessed by youngsters. While "Sausage Party" suffers tremendously, there are some light spots of goodness audiences will appreciate. It has moments of well delivered action sequences and some good jokes. But this will not suffice for it's a very poor excuse for an adult feature film. Therefore, it is one of this years worst films.

Suicide Squad (2016)
It is amongst fans and popular culture as one of the most anticipated films to witness this year. A group of talented yet menacing and psychotic villains tries to attempt to rid the world of the evil "Enchantress" played by "Cara Delevingne" and all that her character possesses.
Like other superhero ensemble films, this one is absolutely breathtaking, when it comes to the characters. The characters add lots of humor, seriousness, and depth throughout the film. Therefore, the action sequences are very splendid. "Suicide Squad" has all the pizazz and brightly depicted colors that a film should have, and it's another reason this film is fully entertaining.
"Fury" director "David Ayer" is no "Joss Whedon". but his work with the film is respectively enjoyable, memorable, and fun overall. "Ayer" in his own right, made something wonderful, and very exciting.
It is depicted with a very talented and quite humorous cast, led by: "Will Smith", "Margot Robbie", "Jai Courtney", "Jared Leto", "Joel Kinnaman" and "Viola Davis". Such finess, zeal, and witty executions are delivered in the movie.
Academy-Award winning composer "Steven Price" makes the film's score. It goes really well with the pace of the film, and it does not make the film muddled or dogged. His score for the film is fast-paced, mesmerizing, and gripping.
It has been considered as movie-goers most anticipated film of the summer, perhaps this year. Action, humor, color and presence of depth make "Suicide Squad" a whirling of a thrill to witness.

The Dark Knight (2008)
For its prime, it is one of cinemas most sinister action films of its generation. "The Dark Knight" crafted by "Christopher Nolan" is unique for a superhero film, and is absolutely menacing. A marvelous cast, riveting and dramatic screenplay, with stellar action sequences and a gripping score are the very vital reasons this film excels.
Christopher Nolan returns to erect a "Batman" film, previously the start of the Christian Bale "Batman Begins". It is very much so evil, sinister and diabolical is this film. As the "Joker" portrayed so demented like by (Heath Ledger). His performance of the iconic superhero villain is utter genius. While "Christian Bale" delivers a menacing performance as the billionaire/superhero
It sticks with the flow of the film. A dramatic and haunting music score by famed composers "Hans Zimmer" and "James Newton Howard" is jolting and edgy.
There is so much action sequences and spectacular special effects throughout the film that make this film stand out extremely well. If you even blink the slightest, you could perhaps miss some of cinema's most thought-provoking action ever.
"Maggie Gyllenhaal", "Aaron Eckhart" and "Gary Oldman" also star in the film. They give sensational and intense performances in the film.
For over fifty years, one of comicbooks most popular and influential characters "Batman" has been at the attention of both cinema-goers and those who have indulged in the comic book. "The Dark Knight" shows that there is a hero in us all, we just have to be brave enough to take a stand for those who aren't willing to or are afraid to have their voices heard.

Star Trek: Beyond (2016)
The revival of the “Star Trek” films continues with its third chapter. The follow-up to 2013’s “Into Darkness” is unquestionably weak, and relies way too heavily on special effects.
Justin Lin who's best known for working on the “Fast and The Furious” franchise, erects a “Star Wars” esque film. Characters, settings, and costumes all encompass the similarities between these film franchises.
“Star Trek: Beyond” features a wonderfully talented cast, but they lack in depth and perception. Especially with Simon Pegg’s Montgomery Scott character, which is highly irritating when he uses repetition of the word “lassie” throughout the film.
The film has been at the height of praise and controversy, due to its storyline involving
the character Sulu, played by John Cho. Reason for the praise and controversy is because Cho's character was written in the film as a homosexual man. This story also caught the attention of original Sulu actor George Takei,who disapproved of the films decision to make his classic character a homosexual, even though Takei is gay in real life.
Composer Michael Giacchino saves this film despite its profoundly negative qualities. He creates a classical, brassy, and whirl-wind of a score that is highly enjoyable.
“Live long and prosper” is the mantra of the entire “Star Trek” universe, as this is a new generation of “Star Trek” films, it does not prosper or live long enough to receive the positive attention of the fans, because it utterly disappoints.
Rate: D-
Paramount Pictures presents a Justin Lin film in association with Bad Robot Productions and Skydance Media. Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban. Runtime: 2 Hours and 2 Minutes Rated: PG-13 (for sequences of sci-fi action, and violence. In theaters now.
The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
Children, pet owners and adults have come to bare witness to a new film from the studio that brought audiences the “Despicable Me” films. “The Secret Life of Pets” is similar to that of the “Toy Story” films but only this time in animal form.
Helmers of this exciting film, Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney make this film positively appealing to all pet owners and animal fanatics. Audiences will highly appreciate the animation approach which is precious, cute and magical.
Taking place in “New York City”, the film shows a vast portion of the “Big Apple” in great detail. Being an animated motion-picture, the movie is filled with wonder, spectacle, and magic.
The film offers up a wonderful ensemble consisting of: (Modern Family's) Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart (Ride Along), comedian Louis C.K, and Jenny Slate (The Lorax). Each and every character portrayed by the actors in the movie are humorous and whimsical. Younger viewers will definitely get a kick out of this film.
Alexandre Desplat (Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows) composes the music for this kid-friendly motion picture. The music is happy, jolting, and riveting, therefore it keeps the movie
interesting.
“The Secret Life of Pets” unleashes the wild, goofiness, and utter shenanigans that animals do. It is without a doubt a very accurate portrayal of animals behavior.
Rate: B
Universal Pictures presents an Illumination Entertainment and Chris Meledandri production, directed by Chris Renaud and Yarrow Cheney. “The Secret Life of Pets” stars Louis C.K, Jenny Slate, Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Lake Bell, Albert Brooks, Bobby Moynihan with a runtime of 1 Hour and 30 Minutes.
