X-Men: First Class

X-Men First Class is about a team of mutants led by Charles( James McAvoy) and Erik( Michael Fassbender) to stop a nuclear war.

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, some sexual content including brief partial nudity and language. 2 hours 11 minutes.

Pirates of the Carribean: On Strager Tides

Pirates of the Carribean 4 is about pirates (Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush ) who are in search of the Fountain of Youth. I think Pirates of the Carribean 4 is better than the third, equal to the second, and worse than the first. I thought there were moments that were disturbing but I really enjoyed the movie.I recommend this movie to people older than 7 yr. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action/ adventure violence, some frightening images, sensuality and innuendo. 2 hours 16 minutes. Starring Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush, and Ian McShane. Directed By Rob Marshall. Grade B.

Just Go With It

 Just Go With It is about a guy (Adam Sandler) who has his friend (Jennifer Aniston) help cover a lie he told his girlfriend(Brooklyn Decker). I think Just Go With It was funny because everybody has moments where they say or do something funny. I liked that most of the movie they were in Hawaii. Sometimes people would steal the stage but it all turned out well. I recommend this movie. 1 hour 50 minutes. Rated PG-13 for frequent crude and sexual content, partial nudity, brief drug references, and language. Starring Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, and Brooklyn Decker. Directed by Dennis Dugan. Grade C-.

Gnomeo & Juliet

      Gnomeo & Juliet is about two garden gnomes (James McAvoy, Emily Blunt) who love each other but their families are rivals. I think Gnomeo & Juliet is a family comedy because there was nothing inappropriate and there was a lot of laughs. Sometimes the talking lost me, but I still liked it. I recommend this movie. Rated G all ages allowed. 1 hour 24 minutes. Micheal Caine, Maggie Smith, Emily Blunt, and James McAvoy. Directed by Kelly Asbury.Grade B.

The Eagle

  The Eagle is about a young warrior ( Channing Tutam) and his slave (Jamie Bell) who try to get back a piece of Roman pride a.k.a the eagle. I think The Eagle is a movie of battles and twists because the whole movie they were battling people and tricking some others. This movie did have trouble holding back on the violence with cutting off heads and torturing people. I recommend this movie for older people. Rated PG-13 for battle sequences, and some disturbing images. 1 hour 54 minutes. Starring Channing Tutam, Tahar Rahim, and Jamie Bell. Directed by Kevin Macdonald. Grade B-.

True Grit

  True Grit is about a girl's (Hailee Steinfeld)  dad who was killed so she has a man of true grit (Jeff Bridges) to hunt him down and kill him. I think this classic movie: True Grit is fantastic from the comedy to the action because the gun shots and showdowns were awesome. But the comedy was unbeatable. I highly recommend this movie. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of Western violence, some disturbing images. 1 hour 50 minutes. Starring Jeff Bridges, Hailee Stiefeld, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin. Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Grade A.
