Guardians of The Galaxy (2014)

It's the comedic version of Star Wars and Star Trek. Marvel Studios latest intergalactic feature (Thor was first of its kind) is undeniably hilarious and well, action packed. This film will no doubt be an immortal treasure etched into cinema.


For starters, Marvel doesn't disappoint here. They go above and beyond with this film. Making an achievement in  sci-fi films and the superhero cult of movies, is director James Gunn. He succeeds so well in the visual aspects and the action sequences. Gunn also wrote the screenplay, which is also a tremendous success for laughter and effectiveness.

The cast of the film, is undoubtedly one of a kind, authentic, and extremely enjoyable. Lead Chris Pratt steals the show as the human, (half alien) thief. While, on the other hand, you've got the humorous talents of Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel. They're just as hilarious as Pratt. It's just enough ammunition to keep the ball rolling.


"Showtime A--holes!" It is quite possibly the best sci-fi movie. It may even be just as good as the legendary Star Wars and Star Trek. This may be even better than both, I'll let you decide.



Rate: A




Despicable Me 2 (2013)

They're back! The sequel to the 2010 smash hit "Despicable Me", is here and it is bigger and funnier than before. More Minion madness and tons more action. "Despicable Me 2" is one of the best animated films of the decade.

It's an overall feel good movie, (not because of Pharrell singing a happy song) it's still all the while, burst of excitement. You'll try and emulate the actions of Gru and his loyal minions after watching this. DON'T! You haven't seen anything like this since Disney and Pixar's "The Incredibles". It's that good. It's not better than it, it's similar story is what makes it awesome.

Returning to the voice cast, Steve Carell as the Felonious Gru, is as funny as ever.

The animation in the film is eye-poppingly good. It almost makes it look like the characters will jump off screen.

It also offers some great emotional aspects too-(aside from the comedy.) The conflict (emotionally speaking) is one of the other great elements of this film.

What happens when you get James Bond and Mission Impossible and Get Smart rolled into one? You get Despicable Me and it's rewarding sequel of course!

Cars (2006)

Another unique world where something from Toys to Bugs are created and talking and thriving in a society as one. Cars is another prime example of this.

“Cars” seems to be following in the footsteps of predecessors “Toy Story” and “a bug's life” seemingly enough all three films are bringing creatures/objects to life at the amusement, awe of children and adults.

Director John Lasseter, previously helming the “Toy Story” phenomenon, was profusely inspired by old-school California culture, the cars and its designs.

From Toys to Bugs, and now a thriving society of “Cars”. This seems to be a trend with Pixar in recent years, and that's why it's so fascinating to witness such a thing.
