Real Steel Movie Review

10/10/2011 By Sandra

The Fight Began on Friday (10/7/11)!

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, “Real Steel” stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

REVIEW:

I was lucky enough to be able to see an advanced screening on Thursday night and this is definitely a movie that you don’t want to miss. I knew this would be a movie that would interest my husband. He enjoyed it so much, he’s still talking about it and telling his friends they have to go see it! lol From the beginning of the movie, you are hooked on watching the robots fight! I felt like I was at a boxing ring instead of the movies. lol

Real Steel is LOL funny, filled with edge-of-your-seat action that has you really rooting for the characters, and has a heartwarming story of a father/son relationship and personal redemption at its core. It’s an interesting story and you’ll start to wonder who knows more about what’s going on, the kid or his father. One of my favorite parts of the movie was ATOM dancing with Max! I’ve never seen a dancing robot! lol

Another thing is that when the robot won my daughter and I both sort of tossed our arms in the air! When they were fighting, I caught myself giving a jab here and there in my seat! lol This truely is a movie for everyone! Kids will love it because it’s a ‘robot’ movie, Dads will enjoy because it’s a ‘guy movie’ and Moms will enjoy the whole movie! “It’s a REAL action movie that will tug at your heart”

You can visit the Real Steel website for some more information on the movie. In the meantime, here is a preview (visit the website to view if you are reading via RSS or email):

Movie Review: Fright Night in 3D!

08/23/2011 By Sandra

“Fright Night,” a DreamWorks release, is rated R for bloody, horror, violence and language, including some sexual references. Running time: 101 minutes.

Let me start by saying I don’t think I’ve ever seen a comical/horror film before! During the first 5 minutes of the movie I was scared and jumped 4 times! The first time was within the first minute of the movie!

In-between the ewww and ohh of the movie and the ducking out of the way of things coming at you or to you, you’ll be laughing! I love the nerdy friend Ed! Towards the end of the movie, he says something pertaining to sex and I asked my daughter “Now how would he know that?” and her reply “good question!” lol

The movie is a remake of the 1985 Fright Night, but with less gore in it! Its based around a vaguely nerdy teenager named Charlie (Anton Yelchin) who thinks his mysterious and seductive new next-door neighbor, Jerry (Colin Farrell), is a vampire. No one else believes him except for his even nerdier childhood pal, Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).

The character Peter Vincent (David Tennant) provides the film’s biggest laughs. He portrays a flamboyant but self-loathing fraud who peddles his illusions to the masses on the Strip.

The film takes place in the overly developed suburban area outside Las Vegas, where people come and go all the time. Those who do live there often sleep all day and work all night. With all the abandoned houses, this is the prefect setting for a bloodsucker to lay low.

Did you know if a house is abandoned, a vampire doesn’t need an invitation to go in the house? I didn’t, but do now!

A few suspenseful scenes:
The first scene was within the first minute of the movie! That’s all I’m going to say!

Second scene in which Jerry is standing outside Charlie’s house waiting to borrow a 6 pack, looking in and commenting at the kitchen, but not entering – because he hasn’t been invited in.

Third scene is when Charlie breaks into Jerry’s home to rescue the dancer he knows and heard scream!

The last is when Charlie is telling his mother not to open the door and Jerry goes into their back yard!
