Maleficent is a re-tale of the classic sleeping beauty told from from the point of view of the witch played by(Angelina Jolie). How she actually came to the point of putting the hex on Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). With a strong leading female this film has no chose, but to be good! Also with a remake of Once upon a dream done by Lana Del Rey. The one negative thought I have about this is Disney has a tendency to squeeze the living death out of "classic" tales, which turns me off to some "new" Disney movies that have been made over-and-over again. Ignoring the negative, this movie will be on my list to see May 30th!

Misfits is a British show that aired in November 2009. It follows young adults who have a history of criminal activity, and are charged with community service. Trough a storm they get super powers, which they have know idea what to do with, so obviously they misuse and abuse their new found powers. Nathan (Robert Sheehan) is the main joker in the situations that this rag tag team finds themselves in. After killing their probation worker (several of them) the show begins to show us what happen in their past, and how it affects their future. Depicting some sexual scenes and a strong plot that definitely carries you till about the 5th season, that's when the switch out the people for a poorly put together cast! Overall, not a bad show oozing with strong dialogue and powerful acting skills! Available for watching on Hulu below: www.hulu.com/misfits
Admit it, we love the man in the blue and red spandex, bringing us wonder-lust and above all hope, but shouldn't the cast live up to the same expectations put forth by the cast in Spider-Man 2 ? I know new people take some getting use too, but Tobey Maguire will always hold a special place in my heart! The movie wasn't different from the others memories of his father, out-of-touch relationship with the girl, and (our favorite part) the villains. I liked how the person he saved would come against him. This cast, what to say, this cast did not give me enough passion and grit. Andrew Garfield's (Peter Parker) performance lacked at times, and didn't leave me wanting to be spider-man, however, he did bring charm to the character. Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) shined through majority of the film, she had her problems, yes!, but overall she is what I imagined Mary Jane to be like, and for this reason, this movie is a pass! Rating: 6/10 http://www.theamazingspiderman.com/site/ ...
The Skinny is a movie that has been one of my few favorites. This movie is about a group of 5 gay (one lesbian) getting back together after the drift life creates to party and create mistakes. The movie takes alot of getting use to if you're not into very racy films. Magnus (Jussie S omllett) is the host of these eventful nights; with his boyfriend which his friends think is a little shady. The movie only gives us a glimpse into the life's of the characters without giving us any strong background information. Which I hate! But the characters are very real and believable. Alcohol, parties, drama, sad moments, and craziness is a definite in this film. With all that said should you go see it? Yes, the plot is solid enough to hold you for the time period and give you a quick glance into the fast, crazy, and sometimes questionable life of the gays. This movie is available for streaming on Netflix and Amazon.
