Despicable me 2- Once upon a
time, Gru (voice of Steve Carrell) dreamt of stealing the moon - these days
he's a single adoptive father of three precocious girls. Having given up his
spectacular life of crime, Gru now aims to produce a delicious new line of jams
with the help of his tiny minions and his old pal Dr. Nefario (voice of Russell
Brand). Feeling unfulfilled in his newfound role as a jam-maker, Dr. Nefario
announces that he will be departing for more evil pastures just as Gru is
approached by the Anti-Villain League to capture the mysterious culprit who
just stole a top-secret research lab filled with PX 41 -- an experimental serum
with the strength to transform harmless animals into ravenous monsters. The AVL
is certain that the culprit is covering his tracks by posing as a small
business owner at a local mall, and assign their best agent Lucy (Kristen Wiig)
to aid Gru in identifying him. Meanwhile, Gru's oldest adopted daughter Margo
(voice of Miranda Cosgrove) falls for rebellious teen Antonio (voice of Moises
Arias), the leather-jacketed son of boisterous Mexican cantina owner Eduardo
(voice of Benjamin Bratt). Now, with Gru's paternal instincts kicking into full
gear just as a dastardly plot begins to unfold, the devoted new father must
divide his time between saving the world from an enigmatic super-villain, and
saving Miranda from total heartbreak. All the while, a suitable mother for the
girls may have been standing right under Gru's pointy nose the entire time
I picked this movie

Wolverine-A
haunted Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) journeys to Japan to bid an old friend
farewell, and gets drawn into a conflict involving ninja and yakuza in
stand-alone spin-off set following the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, and
preceding the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past. The story begins in
Nagasaki. As a B-29 bomber appears in the sky and air-raid sirens howl,
panicked Japanese troops begin committing ritual seppuku. Terrified, yet
unwilling to sacrifice his own life, young soldier Yashida takes cover in a
heavily fortified prison pit containing the immortal mutant Wolverine, who
shields him from a deadly blast. Decades later, Wolverine has sworn off
violence after he was forced to kill his beloved Jean Grey (Famke Janssen).
He's confronting a hunter who has been using illegal, poison-tipped arrows when
the sword-wielding Yukio (Rila Fukushima) comes to his aid, and summons him to
Japan at the behest of the dying Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), now the head of
Japan's largest and most powerful tech giant. Just hours before passing away,
Yashida implores Wolverine to protect his granddaughter Mariko (Tao Okamato),
whom he has personally chosen to take over the family business -- much to the
chagrin of her plotting father Shingen (Hiroyuki Sanada). When the yakuza attempt
a high-profile kidnapping of Mariko during Yashida's funeral, Wolverine comes
to her rescue, and receives some much needed help from a ninja named Harada
(Will Yun Lee). Barely escaping with their lives, Wolverine and Mariko go into
hiding with the yakuza and ruthless mutant Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) hot on
their trail. But the battle is far from over, and with Wolverine's healing
powers mysteriously diminished, he may not be able to protect Mariko for long
I picked this movie because it was action packed with lots
of violence. I also liked how it took place in japan and you got to see what it
looks like in japan.
Elysium-In a future
in which the privileged reside on an Earth-orbiting space station named Elysium
and the less fortunate live on the surface of the overpopulated planet below,
one man dares to defy the strict anti-immigration laws that separate the two
different worlds in order to save all of mankind in this visceral sci-fi action
thriller from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp. The year is 2154, and the
division between social classes has grown wider than ever before. As the rich
enjoy a life of luxury and access to cutting-edge medical technology on
Elysium, the rest of the human race contend with poverty, crime, and disease on
the surface of planet Earth. Meanwhile, strict immigration laws ensure that only
those who have been approved will ever set foot on the elusive paradise in the
stars. 36-year-old Max (Matt Damon) lives in an L.A. shantytown and earns his
living by working on an Armadyne assembly line. He's had a rough past, but he's
struggling to stay on the right side of the law when he realizes that his only
hope for survival after being exposed to deadly radiation is to reach Elysium.
Should Max succeed, he will strike a major blow for equality in the eyes of his
fellow surface dwellers; should he fail, it will mean certain death. In his
quest to become the hero who can restore the balance between the rich and the
poor, however, Max must first do battle with Elysium's hawkish Secretary of
Defense Delacourt (Jodie Foster), who has devoted her entire career to maintaining
that division, and whose key enforcer Kruger (Sharlto Copley) is notorious for
his brutal tactics in driving out illegals. With the fates of millions hanging
in the balance, Max sets his sights on Elysium and never looks back.
I liked this movie
because they made everything look futuristic. I also liked this movie because
of how hard everyone tried to get to Elysium.
Iron man 3- Tony
Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) wrestles with inner demons while contending with
monsters of his own creation in this sequel from writer\director Shane Black.
The story in Iron Man 3 picks up shortly after the events of The Avengers.
Having previously entered another dimension in order to save New York City,
Tony remains deeply haunted by the experience. Unable to sleep, he throws
himself into his work with such intensity that it begins to take a heavy toll
on both his mental health and his relationship with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth
Paltrow). Tony has only started to appreciate the gravity of his problems when
an enigmatic terrorist named the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) hijacks the airwaves
and threatens to bring America to its knees with a painful series of
"lessons" that even President Ellis (William Sadler) won't be able to
ignore. When Tony's former security guard Happy Hogan (Favreau) is badly
injured in an explosion caused by one of the Mandarin's agents, the vengeful
playboy issues a public threat that results in his home being completely
destroyed in a devastating attack, leaving him to face his enemy with only one
badly damaged prototype suit. Fortunately, Tony isn't on his own, and with the
help of Col. James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) and a young boy named Harley (Ty
Simpkins), he pieces together the mystery of the Mandarin, whose final
"lesson" promises to be the most painful of all.
I picked this movie because I liked how many different suits
there were. This movie was also funny at parts and suspenseful at others.
Pacific Rim- When legions of monstrous creatures,
known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take
millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat
the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called
Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are
locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless
in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces
defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up
former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are
teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past.
Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
I picked this movie because I thought the graphics were
amazing to be able to have it look like a huge monster and huge robot stand
next to a person. I also liked the whole plot of the movie how things came from
the ocean rather than outer space.
