White House Down

Okay, Okay, Okay... let me start by saying that as a female of course I am a fan of Channing Tatum and his lavish acting in Magic Mike...but as far as a great action movie star I was eerie of his capabilities, but bravo to Tatum he did a great job in this film. White House Down is a action movie about the compromise of the White House by ex military invaders. No, Jamie Foxx is not the most realistic president figure but he does add a fair amount of comedy to the film. I was very impressed by the acting of young Joey King, she plays Tatum's daughter an admirable character who exposes the invaders and risks her life for her country and her father. I would recommend that it is worth watching but not until you have seen a fair amount of better films that are out there waiting to be viewed right now.



My Overall Rating:   71/100

Monsters University

EXCELLENT MOVIE! Yes, I am already a Disney addict but I didn't have high hopes for this film. It takes a lot to impress me when movies have prequels or sequels as the story lines typically lose their appeal. But not Monsters University! The characters are just as lovable as the first film and the new characters introduced such as Art the furry purple arch shaped hippie character are equally adorable. The quality of work produced in these films never ceases to amaze me as they steadily look more life like each and every time. Pixar always manages to produce wonderful heartfelt story lines and Monsters U inspires us to always achieve our dreams, having strong friendships, and the power of determination. If I were a parent these are the types of films I would feel proud for my children to view as I know they would be learning great qualities while being amused by brilliant characters. If you haven't seen this film it is a must see!
