The Good Dinosaur

      The Good Dinosaur ( 9.5 of 10 stars)

   This movie was more than good; it was amazing! This is one of my new favorite Disney Pixar movies. It was emotional, adorable, and beautifully animated. I loved how the backgrounds looked so realistic and the characters were animated so awesome! Yes, this movie made me cry like every other Pixar movie.
     I really like how the characters are so simple with awesome personalities. Arlo is so cute and his problems with the chicken things are pretty hilarious. He develops a lot throughout the movie, but I won't give any spoilers. Spot is probably my favorite character besides Arlo because he's so protective of Arlo and will do anything for him. He also looks like my little brother, so that makes me like him a bit more. What I think is cool is how the dinosaurs act more like humans and the humans act more like animals. Ramsey and Nash are really funny and act like how a brother and sister really do act: fighting almost all the time. Butch is serious at first, but softens up when he spends more time with Arlo. The T-rexes act and are animated like cowboys, how they have thick country accents and they run like they're riding on horses. Thunderclap is a little creepy to me with all of his "The storm provides" thing, his freaky facial features, and how he always wants to eat Arlo and Spot. I think Arlo's family, his dad, mom, brother, and sister, are pretty cool because they have their own little trait that I like about them, even though they're kind of mean to him at first.
     I love the scenes with the fireflies, when they run through the grass, making them glow. Spot and Arlo's relationship is so awesome because they are always there for each other. By the way, I did not expect the ending here. I was almost freaking out in the theater because I didn't know what would happen! Pixar has definitely done it again with this amazing movie, making it far more than good in my mind.

 

 

Love Actually

        Love Actually ( 9.5 of 10 stars)

 

    One of the best romance movies I've ever seen = THIS!!!!!!!! What makes it even better is that it's a CHRISTMAS movie! I'm not a huge romance fan, but this got me into it. It's emotional, funny, romantic,( of course) and has some of the most awesome actors in it. I love this movie because, and this is one out of a hundred, all of the love stories are tied together perfectly and are all related in a cool way. I've only seen the TV version, but I still think it's amazing.  

      Now, this movie has like 20 characters, so I might not talk about them all, but I'll say my favorites and the ones that really stand out. Jamie ( Colin Firth) is such a sweet guy and is a writer, which I want to be, too, and I love how he learned a new language just to go to the girl he loved ( which she did too) to go and ask her to come back and marry him. The Prime Minister ( Hugh Grant) was so unsure about himself and Natalie ( Martine McCutcheon), who is his secretary, being together even though he's the Prime Minister. Seeing him dance around his house and getting caught was one of the funniest parts of the movie. Karen ( Emma Thompson) is so nice and beautiful, but you feel so bad for her when you see her husband ( Alan Rickman) get an expensive necklace for this ugly lady that he works with and when she thought he got it for her. Sam ( Thomas Brodie-Sangster) was and still is the cutest part of the movie with his desperate love for this girl at school who's going back to America, him and Daniel ( Liam Neeson) posing the trust scene from Titanic, and how he plays the drums at a concert for his school. Billy Mack ( Bill Nighy) was just way too weird for my taste but was funny every now and then.

    Mark ( Andrew Lincoln) and his love for his friend's wife is really cute and I love it when he can't talk to her and shows her poster boards with what he wants to say, that's so sweet! There are so many other amazing characters, but it would take forever to talk about them all.

    I love the part when Sam is running through the airport chasing down his crush. Some of this movie is really sad, for example, Sarah's ( Laura Linney) brother has mental problems and always calls her, so she feels like she can't not answer no matter what she's doing. Either way, this is an amazing movie and was definitely worth watching. I don't just like it, I love it, actually.;-)

The Maze Runner

    The Maze Runner ( 9 of 10 stars)

      This is a movie worth running for! It is really different from the book, but it is still really good. It's thrilling, action-packed, and full of amazing, complex characters. Plus, all the boys in it are super cute. The CGI in it was so realistic from the maze walls to the grievers.

       Now, the characters; these are some of the coolest characters because there's so much to them that you need to know more about them. Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) is curious, wanting to know everything about why he was put into the maze, surprisingly fast, and pretty cute. Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) is by far my favorite character because of his kindness, hotness, and his protective style, and we fangirls can't forget his tragic backstory. Minho (Ki Hong Lee) is extremely sassy and that kind of guy you want to fight at your side. Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) is the only girl in the maze, and a tough one at that, very pretty, and definitely has feelings for Thomas. Gally (Will Poulter) is the one who wants to be the boss of everybody, isn't a man of change, and his eyebrows are one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Chuck (Blake Cooper) is super sweet with a cute personality and is always at Thomas' side.

       I really don't care that it's different from the book because you can tell they still used the base of the original and shows you what the maze, the characters, and the scenes look like. The acting in this is awesome in here too, with so much emotions put into it. But here's a tip: if you want to see this, you should read the book first so you're not confused about the story or anything. This is definitely one a-MAZE-ing movie!
