Kirsten Stewart is Annoying AF, And She’s Not Even In This Film.

  
I have so much love for Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain. They are my favorite actresses ever and I seriously just love them to death. To see them in one film is just an inspiring treat. And Charlize Theron is as brilliant as ever. She’s literally the definition of gorgeous. 

Now, Snow White and the Hunstman when it was released a few years back, wasn’t that bad, but it was also not good. Kirsten Stewart, though beautiful as Snow White, took her stony Bella Swan acting to a beloved princess and ruined it. It was Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth who ran that film. 

This film however, is both a prequel and a sequel. We find Ravena pretty much alive, and Emily Blunt brought Elsa to life. It is possible that they were inspired by Elsa the ice queen, as Frozen was released when production for this was about to start. I may be wrong, but it’s too good to be true. Emily Blunt is so charming that she could never ever play a villain. She can be bitchy, yes, but never evil. I believe I already said that Chris Hemsworth acting is always the same for everything he’s done do far. That’s not good, but that’s how he is so we just need to make do with him.
I adore Jessica Chastain so bad. I love her on The Help, Zero Dark Thirty, and she was Cooper’s Murph on Interstellar, which is by the way, my favorite movie ever. She’s one hell of an actress. 
The plot however, although sincere and pretty straightforward, fails to deliver. I really cannot put my finger on why but it’s just dull and uninspiring. If the characters were played by different actors this would’ve suck big time. So that’s probably why they’re chosen. 
The winner on this one is of course, the very eccentric, talented, Oscar winner Colleen Atwood and her gorgeous costume design. Why so genius? She definitely outdone herself with this one and her designs just made my eye popped. Not only the queen’s costume but even the supporting characters. 
Overall, Hunstman Winter’s War is saved from it’s dull plot by a stellar cast, and the only good thing about this movie other than the cast’s effort is that Kirsten Stewart is not in it. 
Grade: 3/5 stars

Mad Max: Fury Road Movie Review

I really have no idea about the whole Mad Max thing. I heard it’s a reboot, or a new vision, but the trailer when I saw it, suggested eye-gasm. Then Tom Hardy is there, then there’s Charlize Theron, and I was sold.

I expected gore, the usual gore you see especially on a post-apocalyptic setting, but this had gore, but not too much. We all know too much gore is cheating, to distract you that hey, there’s no story here let’s just show some guts.

But Mad Max is full of guts. The good kind. The kind of guts that translates into bravery and fearlessness. That is what I admired most of all on this movie. When all hope was lost, when all that’s left is the drive to survive, you gotta have guts.

Charlize Theron, as always, is lovely to watch. She carries a lot of weight for being the reason there’s a story. Driven by the power of hope, guided by her enormous and powerful (truck?), she drove the fury road. Tom Hardy, whose charisma works very well when he’s dirty and ragged, helped her. I must say, though Max is shown to us with his hallucinations of that child, whoever she is, is not enough to make him look mad. Is he mad like angry mad? Or mad mad? He’s neither on this movie but that doesn’t matter because he’s Tom Hardy. Nicholas Hoult reprised his role as Z.

Yep. Eye-gasm. The use of explosion here is well done and really has that power to put you on the edge of your seat. The first desert chase was so beautifully done. That was pretty much the movie was all about: running away and going back. All there was was something chasing them, one way or another.

It was a pleasure going inside George Miller’s head. He is maybe the mad one here.

Eye-popping, emotionally resonating, and with Hardy and Theron’s charisma and power, Mad Max: Fury Road is one of those movies you know is weird but is truly enjoyable.

Grade: 5 Stars
