Guardians of the Galaxy

i got to see Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) yesterday! i took my nephew with me. i mean, there really was no one else better to see a Marvel movie with. haha. i love when i anticipate to see a movie so bad and it turns out exactly how i expected it.. awesome! GOTG was straight up fun, funny and action packed!

Chris Pratt did such an amazing job as Peter Quill. He has always been a very well liked actor and extremely hilarious, so he fit the part so well. i think its great that he has become apart of the Marvel family. I was also so siked to see Lee Pace' performance as Ronan. im such a huge fan of his! Pace (to me) just never disappoints. and i think thats why he's able to play such a variety of characters (a pie maker, vampire, elf). it was great seeing him as a Marvel villian and im pretty happy he has become apart of the Marvel family as well. That being said, id have to say Peter Quill and Ronan were my favorites from the film.

But i mean, that doesnt mean i didnt like Rocket and Groot. those two.. amazing freakin characters. tell me why i couldnt picture Bradley Cooper every time Rocket talked. haha. so weird. Rocket was seriously a bad-ass character! Groot, a lovable character and its pretty funny how Vin Diesel only had like two lines (repeating one of them). haha. oh yeah, and theres Drax! i liked his character but i think he stood out the least, for me.

Zoe Saldana as Gamora, she was fantastic. i loved her fight scenes. most of all, i was seriously digging her green makeup. haha. which steers me into the direction of... She-Hulk. is anyone else hoping they'd do a She-Hulk movie? i am! i mean, if theres already talks about this, please send me links. im not sure who would make a great She-Hulk but i would love for her to get her own movie and join the Avengers!

i have to say that i was also excited to see Peter Serafinowicz in the movie! he stared in Spaced, Star Wars Episode I (as my favorite, Darth Maul) and Shaun of the Dead ( my favorite Cornetto film). Hes such a handsome lad! :)
ok, overall, this movie was seriously amazing!! i enjoyed it from beginning to end. i really want to see it for a second time! if you have no seen it, please do!!!

Her

Took me a while but i finally saw Her (2013). It was quite intriguing when i first saw the previews to this film. i mean, intriguing and interesting. i love movies like this. out of the norm and unexpected! I also wanted to see it because of Joaquin Phoenix. im a huge fan of his and hes really such a fantastic actor. I think this might be my favorite character of his :)

If you havent seen Her, i really suggest you do. i watched it with my brother and brother in law and the both of them were really hard headed about it. haha. they were completely weirded out by the whole story (i mean i'd have to agree, its out of the ordinary). i kept telling them to look past it and see the movie for what it actually is, its creativity! i was so in love with the cinematography, the style, music, the futuristic technology, the incredible acting and.. the story! if this movie was made by any other than Spike Jonze, it probably wouldve been a failure. in my opinion. But it just had that Spike Jonze feel to it!

The story is basically what you see in the previews.. Theodore; a lonely, introverted man, who is going through heartache over a divorce falls in love with his operating system, Samantha, and everything pretty much revolves around that. I love that through it all (having a relationship with the operating system) he becomes different and more alive. more happy. even though the whole idea of dating a computer is just plain weird, i really liked seeing his transformation.

rent the movie and watch it! just fyi, theres a few sexual encounters. haha. even though my niece and nephew were in their rooms, the sound was a bit awkward.. kind of had to do the mute button a few times. haha!
