Now i won’t reveal what happens so i urge those who haven’t seen the movie dont watch this scene. It has both Morgan freeman, brad pitt and a soon to be two time oscar winner named Kevin Spacey. To the people who has seen the movie, you’ll know what i am talking about. Enjoy the final scene

Warning (strong language included)

Carell is a big star now!

Well after his success with Foxcatcher it appears that Steve Carell will be paired up with Brad Pitt, Christian bale and Ryan Gosling for the Big Short. The story is about a crash with in the stock market crash in 2008 but one that took place within a year before that and how they didn’t tell the others and probably profited from it. He will reunite with director Adam McKay and Ryan Gosling after Crazy, stupid, love. I think it’s incredible on how his career will grow even more and will star with A-list actors. No word has been said on when it will start filming or release date. As soon as I hear of it, I will post it.

Benjamin button is very curious

My recommendation for today would have to be The Curious Case of Benjamin Button that is directed by David Fincher. The film tells the story of a young man who was born of old age and when he gets older he grows younger. The movie stars Brad Pitt as Benjamin and Cate Blanchett as a long lasting love Daisy! What’s remarkable about the film is the story of how this character de-ages into young age in his 80s and it is a very sweet story but sad also. Brad Pitt is tremendous in the film and probably my favorite role that he has done. Cate Blanchett is an electric force in the film and is very exquisite. It’s funny that these two actors were in the entire film as both young and old with performance capture, voice over work, and fantastic prosthetics. I just think that it’s brilliant it went from the late 1919 all the way up to Katrina in 2005. The documentary is pretty fascinating to watch as well. Very detailed and intriguing. If you get a chance to see it, you won’t miss a thing 🙂 a highly recommended movie.

They kill Nazis

Tonight after seeing Fury I kinda thought the similarities of the characters Wardaddy and Aldo the Apache both played by Brad Pitt! They both get the job done, they take care of their crew, they do the mission till they are finished with it and They both do a main big that they love: THEY KILL NAZIS!! I enjoy the hell out of Aldo in Inglorious Basterds and I love his little signature that he leaves for the surviving Nazis which is disturbing! Wardaddy was a good role for Brad, it had a different quality in the film which I was pleased with!

Be sure to check out Fury in theatres now and Inglorious basterds is out on DVD and Blu-ray!

I think it wasn’t his masterpiece.

Tonight I got to see Fury, and I thought a pretty good movie. I appreciated a good WWII film and wasn’t sure it was gonna turn out in the end! The film takes place towards the end of WWII and a small battalion of 5 soldiers to take down Nazis in a war tank called Fury

Brad Pitt had a pretty busy year last year from winning an Oscar for best Picture plus being in four films as well and I thought he did a good job as The Sargent Don ‘Wardaddy’ Coller. I was a little worried of Pitt having an Aldo Raine quality to the role, but luckily this was different and didn’t tarnish Quentin’s role in Inglorious Basterds, it was much more serious and he led his troops to battle. Jon Bernthal played a similar role to Shane from Walking Dead, I did think he was good though! I liked Shia Lebeaouf as the religious saint soldier in the film. Michael Peña and Logan Lerman both were decent in the film! (Lerman played the rookie soldier for the battalion It was strange seeing Jason Isaacs with an American accent but he did a fine job.

This was the first David Ayer’s film I had seen of his and I can see the similar quality he has done for his other films. He has very violent scenes and explicit dialogue in his films which seems to work for him! I think that this film had a lot of good battle scenes and I really liked his final battle with the whole last man standing aspect of the film! It wasn’t as powerful as Saving Private ryan and didn’t seem to be quite impactful as the other film was! I kinda called the ending of the film which seemed unfair for me to do but I did and I didn’t mind it! Their was a scene I really enjoyed when the small platoon had a rest and they all sat and had dinner at a German woman’s house with her cousin staying there and it seemed the only peaceful time in the movie away from the battle for about 15 minutes. I didn’t really like the new kid in the film, I thought he seemed kind of annoying and seemed to not fit in with the group. I did like the end of the film, but sad as well, it had a nice resolution

With the title of the post, I can agree to what I said, it wasn’t Brad’s masterpiece but it was a pretty good and violent picture! In my opinion his masterpiece was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I think the cast was a fine group in the film and the action was pretty good to see. If you are a WWII fanatic and you enjoy a good action film then you will like this film!
