Finally, A sequel that lives up to it's very own hype!

Movies that are remakes of others are bound to be compared to its original and unfortunately, most fail to live up to their very own standards. However, the Walt Disney produced film proved differently. With its technological-futuristic graphics and upbeat electronic themed music that emphasize the story hand-in-hand, the film brought a fantasy-like story line that was a reminiscent of Avatar. And yes, guys left the thearte starry-eyed daydreaming about the sexy Olivia Wilde.
Tron: Legacy is the sequel to the original Tron released in 1985 starring Jeff Bridges, whom also played a reoccurring role in this film, and I might add flawlessly as well!
Kevin Flynn (Bridges) is the CEO of a multi-million dollar company called ENCOM and the creator of Tron, an arcade game that takes place in a secluded world full of fighting and dangerous circumstances that seem impossible to survive. Sam played by Garrett Hedlund, is the son of Flynn who finds himself trapped in his father’s own game 25 years after his father had disappeared from his life. As the movie continues, Sam is labeled as a “user” and is obligated to fight other “users” in order to proceed into the next round.
After two successful rounds, he is captured by a woman named Quorra (Wilde) who takes him to his father’s home in the game. Twenty five years later, his father tells him why he never returned home and it was because he was trapped in his own game.
As the story continues, the three of them attempt to find a way to overtake the city which is full of corruption but to also find a way out. Will they find a way out? I guess you’ll just have to see it for yourself but there is a catch! All I will say is that the movie is quite captivating and makes you feel like you’re actually in the game. Tron: Legacy deserves all four stars and I really encourage everyone to watch it! This is definitely a movie to take a girl out on a date! Especially if your trying to get past first base!

No Stars Attached is More Like it!

The romantic comedy No Strings Attached starring Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman was like going through a two hour detention in high school starring at a wall. Can I say BORING? The film, which was directed by Ian Reitman, is based on a friendship with “no strings attached” between two childhood friends. As life separates them several times within the course of their lives, the two always find themselves meeting each other in random circumstances.
After each encounter, the two friends begin to reconnect and use each other for sexual pleasure. Since their last encounter, Adam (Kutcher) begins to fall in love with (Emma) Portman but his desire to be her lover doesn’t go as planned. Emma refuses to get serious with him because of fear of getting hurt and losing the benefit of just sex with no obligations.
While she doesn’t allow the relationship to go any deeper, Adam walks away and finds another prospect. Months later she realizes that her insecurities have only prevented her from being happy and at the end she his heart. Although it didn’t come as easy as she had hoped, the two live happily ever after.
Even though the storyline seems quite intriguing and hopeful to the typical lovers, the movie seemes like an over-fabricated fantasy that has been duplicated many times before since the beginning of time. With a little bit of a Notebook feel, the movie does have potential to bring one closer to his or her mate but guys BEWARE! If your girlfriend makes you see this film stash a few drinks in your bag because you don’t know what torture is until you see this! I give this film 1 star out of 4.

Mickey shows them what he's got!

The Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale is an inspirational piece based on a true story of successful yet struggling journey in becoming a world renowned boxer. Mickey Ward (Wahlberg) starts off as an amateur fighter under the shadow and management of his older brother Dickey and mother. While the journey is filled with elements of heartbreak, drugs, jealousy, and disappointment through the ups and downs of a brotherhood and relationship with new girlfriend Charlene, Mickey reaches for the sky with a title shot that no one will ever forget. Through the trials of failing almost every fight and seeing his brother fall to drug addictions and incarcerations, the victory is almost hard to believe!

The movie’s suspense and various comical moments grant this film five out of five stars leaving audiences full of hope and optimism in their very own situations. Hopefully this film will be nominated for an Academy Award!
