Writer: James Cameron

Favorite Character: Neytiri

 

Tagline: Return to Pandora

 

Rated: PG-13 for intense epic battle sequences and warfare, sensuality, language, and some smoking

 

Quote: “All I ever wanted was a single thing worth fighting for.”- Jake Sully

 

Fun Facts: James Cameron originally planned to have the film completed for release in 1999. At the time, the special effects he wanted increased the budget to $400 million. No studio would fund the film, and it was shelved for eight years.

 

Some CGI scenes took an average of 47 hours to render.

 

First movie to ever cross the U.S. $2-billion mark worldwide (and later the U.S. $2.5-billion mark), making it the highest-grossing film in history (not adjusting for inflation).

 

The movie is 40% live action and 60% photo-realistic CGI. A lot of motion capture technology was used for the CGI scenes.

 

Zoe Saldana’s Star Trek (2009) co-star Chris Pine and her future Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) co-star Chris Pratt unsuccessfully auditioned for Jake Scully.

 

The year is never stated, but the video log shows that the year is 2154. The final battle takes place during August 2154, 200 years from the date of James Cameron‘s birth.

 

Summary: In the future, on a planet called “Pandora,” a paralyzed marine receives a mission to be linked to the minds of creatures called “Na’vi” but soon feels as Pandora is his home.

 

The Review: Cameron returns to the screen only this time, with his imagination. How was I supposed to know that most of the stuff is CGI? That means they are really that good. Especially the climax, that was so entertaining!

Rating: Few Burnt Kurnels

 

Cast: Tony Danza, Ami Dolenz, Catherine Hicks, Wallace Shawn

 

Director: Stan Dragoti

 

Writer: Seth Winston and Michael J. Nathenson

 

Producers: Robert Kaufman and Stephen Deutsch

 

Music by: Alan Silvestri

 

Favorite Character: Katie Simpson

 

Tagline: Girls go wild, boys go crazy, and dads go nuts!

 

Rated: PG

 

Quote: “You teasing little bitch!”- Timothy

 

Fun Facts: The film is included on the film critic Roger Ebert‘s “Most Hated” list.

 

Ami Dolenz, was 20 years old when she played a 15-year-old Katie Simpson.

 

Film critic Gene Siskel hated this movie so much that he stated on “Siskel & Ebert” that it almost made him quit his job. Yet he stated that later the same day he saw a better teen comedy Say Anything… (1989) and it encouraged him not to quit.

 

Summary: A radio station manager becomes more overprotective when her 15-year-old daughter went from awkward to a hottie.

 

The Review: What kind of teen film is this? It’s boring and pathetic! Tony Danza completely failed as a father. It’s basically ‘Say Anything’s’ evil twin.

Cast: Dacre Montgomery, Niomi Scott, RJ Cyler, Becky G, Ludi Lin, Bill Hader, Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Banks

 

Director: Dean Israelite

 

Writer: John Gatins

 

Producers: Haim Saban, Brian Casentini, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey

 

Music by: Bryan Tyler

 

Favorite Character:

 

Tagline: It’s morphin time!

 

Rated: PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction, language, and for some crude humor

 

Quote: “Are we more like Iron Man or Spider-Man?”- Billy

 

Fun Facts: Jason David Frank (the actor of the original Power Rangers) was kicked out of a theater for trying to record his cameo during the premiere of the movie.

 

Bryan Cranston, who plays Zordon in the film, also voiced the monsters Twin Man and Snizzard in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

 

The film opened wide in the United States on March 24, 2017. In The Breakfast Club (1985), which the filmmakers call an influence on the film, the students met for detention on March 24, 1984, 33 years earlier.

 

It is the first Power Rangers film to include multiple foul language in its dialogue. “Turbo: A Power Rangers: Movie” only featured the “H” word which was spoken by Divatox.

 

Summary: A group of High School students are exposed to powers from strange looking coins and have abilities to save the world from Rita.

 

The Review: It may not be like the TV series but it still would satify the fans out there. The movie’s suits are really descent. Lots of action and stuff. You would say ‘GO GO POWER RANGERS!’

Quote: “You don’t have to make us feel safe… because you’ve made us feel brave.”- Emma Bloom

 

Fun Facts: The two dolls that Enoch created, are filmed with stop-motion, something used in almost all of Tim Burton’s films.

 

The house where the children live, is an actual house. It’s called “Torenhof”, and can be found near Antwerp, Belgium.

 

Tim Burton makes an appearance as a man on the amusement park ride.

 

The twins in the film are not central characters in the novel and are never featured with the rest of Miss Peregrine’s children in the book.

 

Summary: Jacob discovers a clue to the island that stretches across time and there, he meets Mrs. Peregrine and the very unusual children but soon, the children are in danger.

 

The Review: As peculiar this film is, I say this one totally is one of Burton’s goes big and the result was pretty good. Some designs will defiantly tell you that it’s a Tim Burton movie. It is certainly a very peculiar film as its visuals to the characters.
