Sorry it's been so long! I have no good excuse, so I'll just get on with the reviews!
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World:
This movie was marketed as a comedy...the comedic solution to the "end of the world." It, however, was not. I left the theater crying and declared that it was more sad than The Titanic. It had amazing acting, great splices of comedy, perfect hues of irony, and a beautiful story.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes Keira Knightley's acting style--just don't expect to leave smiling because you just saw Steve Carell.
Brave:
Such phenomenal animation. I saw bits and pieces of this movie's promos starting last summer on Tumblr. I was intrigued immediately by a fiery, redheaded princess. Honestly, you'd be crazy not to. It isn't just a story for kids either--there's a lot more to it than just another princess story. The main character, Merida, is one of the spunkiest, tomboyish creations that Disney has produced. Loved it (setting, voice-acting, visual effects, etc.)!
It's a great story and I'd reccomend watching it with your mom---it would make a great Mothers' Day present!
Spiderman:
Best part: Emma Stone! Just kidding, although she was great, this movie had a lot more to offer than just one of my favorite actresses.
The origin story of Spiderman in this is what really made the movie great. It's different from the other recent movies, but I don't want to give away too much! The character of Peter Parker and the life around him seemed to me as though it could have flown directly from a comic book onto the big screen--colors popped, the action was fast, and the story was entertaining--what else would you expect from a Marvel film?
Perfect summer movie!
