Synopsis: Steven Strange is an award-winning neurosurgeon but on his way to some event, he got in the accident, preventing his use of his hands, yet, ending his career. He tries to find a way to get his hands working again but was unsuccessful so he traveled to Nepal for a miracle.

Review: Another exciting chapter of the marvel series as this is the ice cream treat for your eyes. Cumberbatch is a powerful sorcerer. Swinton is a wise ancient one. Stay through the whole thing as you get a surprise post credit scene. This movie will blow your mind. A marvel version of Inception. If you don’t see this in 3D, you are out of luck.

Quote: “Drop your nuts and move your butts! It’s time to get angry!”- Red

 

Synopsis: Bird island is an island full of happy, flightless birds but not all of them are happy. Red has anger issues, so he was sentenced to anger management class, hoping to fix his issues. There he meets Chuck, a speedy bird and Bomb, a bird who blows up (literally!) But a mysterious ship full of green piggies arrived on the island and offered their friendship but Red, becoming suspicious, tried to tell everyone that these pigs are up to no good but they refused to listen. He was proven right when the pigs stole all the eggs and they must travel to Piggy Island to get them back.

 

The Review: This animated film based on the iconic game is filled with colorful birds, hilarious pigs, porky humor (get it?), references and some inappropriate moments (like the mighty eagle going wee wee in the lake Chuck and Bomb just swam in). Josh Gad stood out as Chuck. The first half is fun while the climax and ending is ok. It has a meaningless message about how its okay to be angry. Love the fur and feathers though.

Quote: “I’ve got claws!”- Mac

 

Favorite Part: When Mac, Kelly and their divorced friends tried to get Delta Psi their third strike.

 

Synopsis: New parents Mac and Kelly Radner are worried that now they have a baby daughter, they are starting to lose their coolness. So, when the fraternity house brothers of Delta Psi moved next door, Mac and Kelly attended their first party to regain their coolness, but when the brothers’ party gets crazier every time, Mac and Kelly had enough. Learning that the brothers get three strikes at the university, the new parents successfully got them Delta Psi their second strike (the first strike is when the brothers burned down their last house) and they are not allowed to throw any more parties for the rest of the year. They know if they ignore the probation, they get strike three! So, with the help of their friend and his ex-wife, they send a fake letter telling them they are off probation and help them with the end of the year bash, hoping they will be gone!

 

The review: Neighbors is just getting the party started. Zac Efron went from the Disney star to the party animal while Rogen makes an interesting father. Great jokes and a hilarious diabolical plan. It will make you glad you aren’t neighbors with a fraternity house in this modern version of Animal House.
