Popular for a reason...

Yes I know... You don't hear from me for a long time and then I post twice in the same day. But I just realized that I saw possibly the biggest blockbuster of the year (TWICE) and I didn't write anything about it!
The Avengers (2012)

The Avengers was the culmination of just about every super hero film, that was based off a Marvel comic that is, and it was FANTASTICALLY done.
My best friend and her husband invited to go see this film on the day it was released and I agreed to go because I had thought that it looked good and I had basically nothing better to do. Plus I had figured I would see it eventually anyways.

I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!

It had action. It has sex appeal. It had humour! I really couldn't believe it.

So lets name off the extensive list of heroes in this film:

1. Tony Stark/ Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.)

2. Steve Rogers/ Captain America (Chris Evans)
3. Bruce Banner/ The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)

4. Thor (Chris Hemsworth)
5. Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson)

6. Clint Barton/ Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)

and there is also the leader of S.H.E.I.L.D who brings these heroes all together -- Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson)

The team of the Avengers are brought together when Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Thor's brother who was featured in the film Thor, comes back to Earth to steal the Tesseract which would allow him to bring an alien army to help him take over the planet.

I'm not really a super hero film kind of girl, although I have seem many of them, typically with the person that I'm dating, and I do enjoy them. But I have never enjoyed a film like this like this one. I laughed so hard at times that I thought that I was watching a great comedy and not an action film. I left the theater feeling very satisfied with this film.

After the movie I was able to see my boyfriend who was very bummed that I saw this movie without him. But the thing is that the movie was so good that I was legitimately good with seeing it with him-- and I did! I loved it just as much the second time as I did the first time, maybe even more!

So see it once, twice, however many times you want. But see it! Very much worth it!

Surprisingly good!

Hello everyone that I haven't spoken to in a while! Hehe :)
So my boyfriend and I spontaneously went to the movies yesterday and we saw a movie that I was not all that excited to go see. But never-the-less, I wasn't against seeing it, my boyfriend wanted to see it, and (while this may sound kinda bad) he was paying so I couldn't complain too much! Hehe, but in the end the movie was very very good!

Battleship (2012)
Yes, Battleship. Yes, it is based off of, or more inspired by, a board game. That was the first reason why I wasn't all that thrilled to go see the film. Also, the two main female characters are not even actresses. Rihanna is, as I'm sure nearly all of you know, is a singer, and Brooklyn Decker is primarily a model. In my book, hiring non-actors automatically gives some points against it. But Decker was actually a very good actress in this and, while Rihanna was not the best actress, she had minimal lines but some great one-liners and some good action which covered it up well.
Anyways, the premise of the film was a less-than impressive man named Alex Hopper becomes a lieutenant in the Navy through the encouragement of his older brother and a girl, Sam played by Decker. While this is going on NASA sends out signals to another world that has very similar climate and atmosphere to Earth. With these two story lines in hand, the main point of the film develops:
"A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals."
There was great action in this film, the storyline was well thought out, and there were also some rather funny moments and one-liners in the film.
While I would not put this as the BEST film I have ever seen, my boyfriend seemed to enjoy it a bit more that I did, it was still very good! I think just about any man would love it and it was done well enough and was entertaining enough that any woman would enjoy seeing it with her man.
I would definitely recommend seeing it and already have to one of my friends.
