Gimme Shelter

Gimme Shelter (2013) Cast: Vanessa Hudgens, Brendan Fraser, Rosario Dawson, and Ann Dowd Director: Ron Krauss Vanessa Hudgens brings to this film a character much different than her previous work. The film Gimme Shelter is based on a true story. Vanessa Hudgens who plays “Apple” is a pregnant teenager who runs away from her abusive mother in search of her father with hopes of starting over. Along her journey she faces many obstacles until she find a kind person to help her find herself. Without any spoilers here is what you should expect. If you picked this movie because you’re a fan of Vanessa Hudgens, you’re in for a big surprise. We all know the Vanessa Hudgens from the High School Musical series. However, her character in this movie is radically different and unforeseen. Apple, who is played by Vanessa Hudgens, is rebellious, disrespectful and careless. She has jumped from home to home and her character represents her struggle. I was able to easily understand h...

The Terror Live

The Terror Live is a Korean movie about a once top news anchorman, Yoon Young Hwa, played by Ha Jung Woo, who gets demoted from prime time news to radio news. One morning, during one of his radio broadcasts, Yoon receives a call that threatens that a bridge (Mapo Bridge), located near the studio building, will be blown up if everyone does not do as the caller requests. The call is first taken as a prank call, so Yoon does nothing but dismiss him. However, Yoon and the people of Korea soon realize that the caller truly wants to terrorize. This movie is a suspense/thriller, and one of the things that I really think made this movie do so well is that the whole movie took place inside the broadcasting room (with a few short scenes located directly outside the studio building at the Mapo Bridge). Because the plot remains mostly in one room, it's dialogue-heavy. However, even when words aren't said, Ha's phenomenal acting will cause you to sit at the edge of your seat. Ther...

The DUFF

What do you get when a teen movie tries to be the new Mean Girls of this generation? You get a whole lot of cliches and sadness. The DUFF is a movie about a teenager Bianca (who seriously does not look like a teenager) who has been named the DUFF by a jock named Wesley. After being labeled a DUFF she tries her hardest to get rid of this title, and in the process she finds herself and what the meaning of life is (okay joking over here but it low key is). Having read the book, I was really disappointed with how different the plot was from the movie. From the trailers I could tell it was going to be different, and at first I was okay with that, but after watching it, the authors message just felt insignificant. The message was just stated throughout the movie, but I didn't really see them apply it to the film. What I liked about the book was that the message came about after Bianca has a revelation/epiphany about life. In the movie, it was stated from the beginning, which left no ...

Kingsman

Kingsman is a movie about an undercover spy ring that is independent from any government agency. the movie, overall, was amazing! 100% would watch gin! The entire film had a James Bond aura about it (seeing as it's a spy film and most of the actors are British and all). Director  Matthew Vaughn did an amazing job with the film. There were a few drawbacks, of course, but overall I would definitely recommend this movie to any action movie  aficionado. With Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Firth, and Michael Caine on cast, the film went from "I might want to see this movie" to "WHERE ARE MY KEYS WE'RE GOING TO THE MOVIES RIGHT NOW!!!" Kingsman is Colin Firth's very first action movie and I feel that he did an outstanding job in this role since he usually plays the uptight Englishman or romantic interest. I would honestly dare to say that this role is definitely a career changing role. This movie brings a twist on the usual action movie. in Kingsman, the comedy ...
