Update and thingsssss

I am so sorry, you guys! It's exam period again, so things have been really busy. Also, christmas, so this have also been really broke. Hopefully, next week I can find some time to see something in theatres. Be patient, my friends!!

Big Hero 6

I've been looking forward to this movie for quite some time and, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. Oh, sure, it was a good film, but it lacked originality.

First, the 6 characters resemble The Avengers quite obviously. I mean, the design of Baymax (Scott Adsit) 's super suit was pretty much a complete copy of Ironman. Also, the fact that Hiro (Ryan Potter) pretty much rides him like a dragon is kind of a copy of How to Train Your Dragon. They also have a similar bond to Hiccup and Toothless #Unoriginality

Second, I'm PRETTY sure the villain is either a copy, or maybe just a reference, to one of the bad guys in Star Wars (can't saw which one because I actually haven't seen the films....). Also, on a side note, THAT IS A FREAKING CREEPY VILLAIN FOR A CHILD'S FILM, DISNEY!!!!! And that sparrow symbol was a direct copy of the Mocking Jay film/book's symbol!!

And, third, failed teleportation? I'm pretty sure something like that happened in a game called PORTAL. Also, it kind of looked like that futuristic battle teleportation television show that was on in the 90s....what's it called? Stargate? Something like that. Anyway, No originality.

On the plus side,the characters where decently rounded, and the plot flowed nicely. Although they focused on Hiro and Baymax, the divided the rest of the character-focus equally amongst the other 4. Also, there was a significant moment where I thought they may have written themselves into a corner, or forgotten something that resulted in a flaw within the story, but they found a way out of it rather gracefully, so there's that.

I can't decide if I liked Big Hero 6 or not. although there were definitely parts I really liked, there are aspects of the film that just make me angry. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's unoriginality,especially when it comes to film. Disney has become such a disappointment to me, lately.

I give Big Hero 6 6 out of 10.

The Judge

I don't think this is even in theatres anymore, which is really unfortunate because it was good enough to be placed onto my top 10 of 2014 list. The moment it is either on DVD, BlueRay, or Netflex, you all need too watch it because, holy guacamole, it was - IS - fantastic!!

The cinematography was wonderful. Very unique, at times, but it worked. How it was shot gave the audience a clear view of the plot, the details of the characters and scenes, what a specific character may have been thinking in certain scenes, it was just all around GOOD.

Hank Palmer (Robert Downey, Jr.) was a rather deep character, and Downey does an amazing job playing it off. This film has allowed me to respect him as an actor on a whole new level. Moments where Downey was crying in a scene, or holding back tears, I fully believed Hank was genuinely crying or wanting to cry. The realness was just so beautiful.

If I had to pick a favorite moment, it would have to be the very last shot of the very last scene. Hank is in the courtroom, after the trial had finished, he goes up to the judges chair and spins it around. As it spins, he stands there, staring at it. I honestly wondered if the chair would ever stop, but as it spun, it was almost like I could see the gears turning in Hank Palmer's head as he continued to star at the gradually slowing chair. I knew that he was contemplating whether or not HE should be the town's judge. As the chair slowed and eventually ceased, it stopped with the seat of the chair open towards Hank, as if to invite him in. That, mixed with the look on Hank's face, told me that he had just made his decision. BOOM. That's good filmmaking!!

I could say so much more, and I really should have written this last week so that I could recall all I wanted to share about this film. It was just so good, honestly, one of the best I've seen. Please, watch it.

I give The Judge a 10 out of 10
