The Young Victoria

This is the first historically-accurate movie I have seen that does not have any bad scenes or language in it that I can remember. And wow, was it good! Starring Emily Blunt (The Wolfman) and Rupert Friend (Pride and Prejudice), to name a few of the many and very talented actors and actresses in this film. It starts out with Victoria telling about her childhood, being one of seclusion from almost everything normal, being a prisoner in a palace, never being able to do what she wanted, really, and all was found out with she turned 11, to be for her protection, since she was the only heir of brothers, either kings or dukes, and would inherit the royal title as queen when the last king died. She meets a prince (Albert), and they become friends instantly, though his uncle had first had him in the 'friend' position as a main way of getting information to help Germany, but since Albert really was a friend and really did like her for her, his 'mission' failed. x) This movie was so well-made, it is a photographer's dream to be able to see all the true colors, all the focus-changes, all the beauty of England presented as it was. I loved it. =) It is around 105 minutes long, rated PG for smoking, brief violence and incidental language, and some sensuality. No scenes whatsoever, and I did not notice the 'language' being harsh or anything like that. Most of the things in this movie are accurate, though some were put in to add some thrill to the movie, and that they did. It is an AMAZING movie, I would give it more than 5 stars. =)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Theif

Wow. haha This movie really caught me by surprise, yet it didn't. Okay, so this past month I have been hearing lots about the 'gods' and such, and we watched a couple movies with them, including this one. But this one is by far the best. Not only because it was made by Chris Columbus (Director of Harry Potter =D). Percy, an average teenager, lives with his mom and rather annoying 'step-dad' in an apartment. He spends his free time hanging out with his best friend, Grover, at the swimming pool. Most of the time. Percy suffers from what everyone thinks as ADHD, and several other problems as well. He always sees words swimming in his head that he is reading, which, if in a certain language, are translated for him. After a substitute teacher turns into a beast one day in a museum and threatens him, trying to make him give up a 'Lightning Rod', his whole life changes. Percy finds out that he is the son of a god, Poseidon, and is himself a demi-god, a half human half god. He meets many people, some friends, some not, and travels across the United States to find certain things to take him on a certain journey to save the whole world. I will not give it away. Though I am a Christian, and do believe in only one God, the true, real God who created this world and everything in it, I still find this movie a very good, very amusing one, a good education for learning about the Greek mythology and such. I had lots of laughs. heheh I like laughing at various random things, and this movie was packed. =D Rated PG for lots of action violence, peril, suggestive materials, and mild language, and is around 118 minutes long, starring Logan Lerman, Brandon T. Jackson, and Alexandria Daddario. =) Great movie, I would so give it 5 stars. =D

When in Rome

=D I like this movie. x) This chick flick is about a gal (Beth) who has her job going well for her. She is a great modern art shower, and just adores her job. The thing is, she is single. And none of her friends are happy with this. They want her to find a guy, but she says she doesn't want to get a guy unless she loves him more than her job. After a bad day at work, her sister comes to her apartment and tells her she is getting married to a guy she has known for a couple weeks, but just knows that he is 'the one'. And guess where they are getting married? Rome! Beth flies over there for 48 hours, and while over there, meets the best man, Nick, who is a lot like her in many ways. She thinks she might like him, and then boom, she sees him with another girl outside. So while everyone else is partying, she goes to the famous fountain of love and takes some coins out just to 'aggrivate' it. Little did she know that those coins were thrown in by some guys who would then pursue her aggressively with no mercy till she either accepted them or really just gave them the complete foot. haha It was very well made, the actors were chosen well (at least Beth and Nick), starring Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel (in the Transformers movies). Rated PG-13 for some suggestive content, though I would really say it is for some disturbing things. It has that guy from Napoleon Dynamite, and he is as weird as ever, but the parts with the pursuers are just really weird. 91 minutes long, very good, I would give it a 4 1/2 star rating, because of those weird scenes. I really like this movie, though. =D
