Movie Review(s)!

To be quite honest with my readers, I am not a constant movie go-er. Movies are ridiculously priced these days, and I have a hard time justifying spending all of that money when I could just watch it later from Redbox or on Netflix. But alas, thanks to a gift card and free movie passes that my mom got at work, Benjamin and I have been to the movies not once, but TWICE in the past week and a half. The last two Tuesday's we have gone to eat and then seen a movie (date nights are RARE, so this has been AWESOME!!!).

On June 11th, we went to see The Purge. This movie was CRAZY. It was set in 2022, which was weird, because it seems so close to now - and basically, once a year, all crime is legal for 12 hours... including murder. This family comes under attack and... well, you'll have to see it to find out how it ends! What I can tell you is, after leaving the movie, Ben and I spent the entire drive home saying "WTF, that was SO CRAZY!," "I can't believe that movie!," and "It's weird to think that could really happen!" It was totally a mind blowing movie that made you think! I'd only give it 3.5 out of  5 stars though!

On June 18th, we went to see This Is The End. This movie had an all-star comedic cast, and let's face it, I'm game for any and every movie that has Emma Watson in it because she's perfect. I would say that the story line was kind of stupid, in my opinion. But all of the cameos from various celebrities, the chemistry between the main cast of actors, and the one-liners made up for that. In addition, my favorite boy band in history, The Backstreet Boys, show up not once, but TWICE in the movie. That alone made it worth seeing for me! I would give it 4 out of 5 stars!


There are definitely still a number of movies that I want to see though! Some of which are:

1. The Great Gatsby
2. Now You See Me
3. Fast 6
4. Man of Steel
5. The Internship
6. The Wolverine

What movies have you guys seen lately and LOVED? Any tips or suggestions?!
