San Andreas

I was unsure what I was getting into when I sat down to watch this film, and boy did I get an adventure! I have not seen a movie this tense, so full of non-stop action from beginning to end since "Speed."

Dwayne Johnson leads an incredible cast in a film that is frightening, intense, as well as full of honest human emotion and drama. I was riveted to my seat the entire time and I found myself very quickly relating to the characters and rooting for them.

The real stand out though in this film has to be Paul Giamatti as Professor Lawrence. His performance was so heartbreaking and touching! It made the entire film for me. I have always loved this actor, but I feel this is one of his best performances yet to date! As well, the lovely young Alexandra Daddano as Blake, Dwayne Johnson's character's daughter. What an incredible performance by a fresh new talent! I highly recommend this film to everyone!

Tomorrowland

When I'd heard about this film coming out I thought to myself, "Oh not another Disney movie based on a theme park attraction!" But this film turned out to change my mind as well as turning out to be one of the most intriguing and clever films of the year so far.

George Clooney gives one of the best performances of his career in this film. The script was well done, and it was also a fun adventure. The two breakout performances by the young ladies of this film: Britt Robertson (Casey Newton) and Raffey Cassidy (Athena). Both young ladies delivered strong performances for their respective ages and they both added so much to the enjoyment of the film.

Suffice it to say, the film entertains and enlightens. I loved the message of this film particularly. Empowering the youth of this world to look in the mirror and be the change they want to see in the world. I personally feel we all need to do this! Our world would be a better place for it! Don't miss this charming film!
