Malawski's Movie Mania

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--hole...

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...

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. Starring: Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Bonnie Hunt Director: John Lasseter MPAA Rating: G Runtime: 1 Hour & 57 Minutes Rate: A-

The latest remake to one of Walt Disney’s undeniably charming works, “Beauty and The Beast”, roars and shines with delightful charm. Walt Disney would be just as obsessed with the new film as we all are. Walt Disney had once tried to conjure up the “tale as old as time” in the 1930’s, but we ended up with “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs”. The “tale as old as time” is not only an achievement for Disney, but, an achievement in family oriented cinema. It is just as magical as the 1991 original. Though the film is exactly like the animated feature, this tale adds new zing to the story with additional scenes and new emotional ballads. Through the scope of the original, its remake fills in the plot holes of the 1991 original. Not only is that a classic, but this one make a major mark in cinema. She has certainly made quite a living after bidding adieu to Hogwarts. The one, the only, Hermione Granger, (Oops, I mean Emma Watson) can seriously sing. Not only that, but, her fellow cast mem...

Shakespeare was one hell of a dirty minded brit. If he were alive today people would be amazed at his humor and how it translates to modern English. His works don't particularly get me excited, but when I learned that this film was based on his "Taming of the shrew", I was curious enough to give it a chance. I never knew that a movie of this kind of background could be so amusing. Particularly, Heath Ledger. He made this film so enjoyable and entertaining, that even the Shakespeare haters will like too. If you haven't seen the Baz Luhrmann adaptation of Romeo and Juliet this is film is more enjoyable then that sorry excuse for a rom-com. Also starring in the film, Julia Stiles. She is quite the character, just saying. She is just as enjoyable as her on screen love interest played by Heath Ledger. The two share an amusing connection on screen, viewers will find to their liking. One of the most prolific literary figures, who I am dubbing the English Literature...

As Mike Wazowski put it or should I say exclaimed, "THAT THING IS A KILLING MACHINE!". There are lots of those in the farewell to X-Men wonders Charles Xavier (Professor X)  and "Wolverine" AKA Logan. This film is a great final hoorah, however, it leaves viewers confused. I have no doubt I wasn't the only one leaving the theater scratching my head. You should definitely not take your kids to see this. Why? The entire film depicts realistic bloody violence. So, no matter how much they beg you, just say no. On the other hand, for teens and older audiences the action sequences are some of the best in a film of this kind. The action is one of the few things that keeps this film on its feet. But what I had a problem with was the story. It was good don't get me wrong, it just had some things missing that I expected answers to. One of the best things about the film was the awesome action sequences involving young mutants. The best action of any superhero fi...

For over twenty years, the enchanting "Beauty and the Beast" has thrilled and captivated audiences. It's the tale as old as time, one of Disney's   most magical film since 1938's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" . This film captures the essence and amazement that all started with films like Snow White which paved way for the fairy tale film craze. Be Our Guest! The films greatest moments are in fact, with the talking house objects. From a candle to a talking dresser, this film has it all. The film has these characters all scrambled amidst chaos in the castle. Comedy and Hospitality? Those two things are the yin-and-yang of this film. If only I could get lively and animated hospitality like this the next time I stay at Holiday Inn . Some of the most catchiest of songs from a Disney film to date are in this film. And I have to say some of the coolest of animated dances are here too. Each and every actor in the movie makes it so much more entertaini...
