Lionsgate Films Presents: The Hunger Games
May the Odds be Forever in your Favor...
I was probably one of the last people to discover the cinematic version of "The Hunger Games" The title just sorta turned me off, don't know why but I was last to the party. And what a party it turned out to be, I'm reminded of The Fast and the Furious, I was the last to that party as well, and look what that turned out to be. When I watched this for the first time I was somewhat overwhelmed by the idea of what was actually going on, not so much because the plot it confusing, but just because the film was nothing what I expected it to be. It doesn't take me to tell you that this film was a blockbuster juggernaut, I'm going to do The Hunger Games and Catching Fire in a pair, so the next review will be the sequel. My only reason for reviewing this film is simply because I want to see if it blows me away with my critical eye looking at it the same way it does when I watch it for simple entertainment. I'm sure if this film gets anything less then a 5 outa 5 from me I'll probably be eaten alive, but I'll take that chance! May the odds be ever in my favor! So hey... Here... WE.. GO!

20th Century Fox and Marvel Comics Present: X-Men Days of Future Past (Spoiler Free)
Mini Review Spoiler Free
When I heard of this film coming out it was just after I had finally seen "The Wolverine" that directly lead up to this film. To be honest I really wasn't all that excited because this makes X-Men:7 all but one of the films centering pretty much around Wolverine (X-Men: Origins) My only thought was how will they mess up the continuity this time? Because... X-Men... However for my Birthday I did "Treat" myself to this film simply because of a little teaser at the end of "Amazing Spider-Man 2" (Which was Amazing) So with hope that this film would land somewhere between Amazing Spider-Man 2 and The Wolverine I went in with pretty low expectations because for as much as I do enjoy the X-Men franchise I absolutely HATE when sequels don't follow continuity. So with that being said I'll give you my first impressions (Spoiler Free) of X-Men: Days of Future Past.

20th Century Fox Presents: Son of God
Their Empire... His Kingdom
First thing's first, "Son of God" is a film taken directly from the critically acclaimed miniseries "The Bible" This is the Chronicles of Jesus throughout the bible as it played out in that context. Now, that being the case, this film as a stand alone movie is one of the biggest budget motion pictures for a biblical film since "Passion of the Christ" and is the first of many to be released by major motion picture companies to hit the big screen, which for me as a christian is a great thing to see some real money getting put behind these films, rather than straight to video low budget christian films we are accustomed to. This is the first film to focus on a story about Jesus since the controversial "Passion of The Christ" and has every bit as much muscle behind it. This time the film is spoken in English, which isn't accurate, but for the viewer makes the film easier to follow. This film is something I feel everyone who is a christian should see and if you're not a christian i suggest watching it, it may change your life forever... Here... WE... GO!

Columbia Pictures and MGM Presents: Robocop (2014)
Dead or Alive... You're Coming with me
When Columbia Pictures announced that they were going to be re-making the 1987 Classic of "Robocop" people were less than pleased. In a sea of remakes, this was one no one wanted to see. But with a little bit of aggressive marketing people were starting to garner some interest in our new crime fighting machine-man. In a world of marketing to a younger audience the PG-13 rating might leave fans of the series feeling like they are missing something with the remake that they had with the original. The thing is, this isn't your grandfather's Robocop, this is a Robo for the new age, the ever fan favorite ED-209 is back, along with some other droids to rival our new Robocop. The original Robocop was fighting an X rating because of the excessive violence in the film, and anyone who has seen the unrated director's cut know that the violence is just over the top for the sake of being over the top. This Robocop isn't toned down to get a broader audience, it's a totally different Robocop from the one you know, and it's not just the black armor. This movie screams more Iron Man than 1987 Robo, but it is really something to be reckoned with, its impressive special effects and original storyline keep the franchise fresh and ready for Reboot... and with that said... Here... WE... GO!
