For Colored Girls 2010 review

What I Know: Each of the women  portray one of the characters represented in collection of poems, and was also an On stage act too. Revealing different walks of life that not only Black women go through in life but I guess all women in life as. 

After watching, I couldn't help but feel that much more emotion towards women as a whole and then those being Black. The different intertwining stories that be, to me, had an impact on my out look of coloured women. A rising star, falling pregnant and having an over baring, God worshipping mother and to add a sister who doesn't much like her. The sister who struggles with intimacy, sleeping around like ol' willy-nilly, the battered wife of a ex-military, drunken boy-friend, the social worker you longs for a child, the Building manager who sees everything that goes on (The on looker), the high achieving woman with an awkward struggle with her husband and the woman trying to be the best dance teacher she can be to young ladies in the neighbourhood. 

Why I felt so emotional watching this, well to say the stories of each hit home to me in every way. Knowing that woman, sleeping around with every Tom, Dick, and Rashawn, not knowing where the turntable is going to stop playing her lustful, heart-broken dove song, I know that woman striving to be somebody (and homosapiens we all are a "somebody) and fighting the pain of what a trusted man took advantage of. And all the others.

Although this is a rendered from a play and book of poems I have read that this is the east favorites for some critics, but I think you have to walk in, sit down with an open mind (Like Harry potter films, cause that too is a book duh!!!!!) and see the best in what it is, not summarize it to the best of the best, not every rendition can be the same and I think Mr Tyler Perry did a good job of making such a largely appreciated play/poem collection be transferred to the screen of mine over here in the UK. It is a a film to see but not a must see for everyone. Did you like 'Precious' or even 'The Color Purple'? Well if the answer is yes I have a slight feeling you will like this. 

I give this 7 stars out of 10. 

    

Rise of the Planet Of The Apes 2011 review

Hello Homosapiens..... I'm so happy to review this film.  

An original story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy (dare I say bVw?)

The Original Planet of the Apes Films (1968, 1971 and them two and the series I have only watch)(Planet of the apes and Escape from the planet of Apes) were sheer brilliance. They captivated the true essence (in what we could assume) would happen if ever did Apes become the dominant species, that did not evolve into the walking hairless Homosapien)

I'm so glad that 'Rise of the Planet of Apes has kept some what true the original films. From simple symbols to names and social status everything is how it was meant to be. Beware of any spoilers as I'm going to wing this one and write from pure memory and excitement. From start to end I felt as if that the story of the original films had left out an outstanding part of the story on purpose, now I know this probably has no truth to it, but if Starwars can go forwards to the beginning, why can't any other film series. So this being a prequel to the ordeal humans go through later on was gob smacking. 

For the special effects alone, one should go and watch this film, captured from the begin the emotions and tone of the film kept me wanting to get to know more and understand yet more of the old films and still be attached to the new segment to the series (Lets forget the reboot with Mark Wahlberg- Sexy but not that much of a great actor, please just pose in your undies and leave it at that hunnie). 

Caesar being the single child of Bright-eyes (His mother) who was genetically tested on, as a means to create cells that rejuvenate the brain, only to see that they made apes smarter and in turn, Caesar's case be born with the ever growing intelligence, more so than man's. 

Caesar grows up to be a loyal Chimp, and even begins to question Will Rodman (James Franco) if he is just an experimental pet to him and his family (brought on by  an encounter with a dog barking at him on a lead). Caesar longs for more than just being held at home in the Attic, he long to be outside, on skateboards, in the trees of the near by forest, he longs to be himself. I felt drawn him and his longing for something, fresh and new (maybe because I too have been longing for that new thing in life. And now have it whoop, Yay me). Caesar comes to the rescue of his father-like father's father (His grandfather in theory then I suppose). Caesar is sent by the courts to an ape centre where we meet Draco Malfoy, oops I mean Tom Felton (his name isn't very important he dies (thank fuck, I was waiting for that in Harry Potter, it just never came to past). I fear poor young Felton will be type cast. Caesar is not tried and test, badly, even by the other apes no surprise. 

Caesar takes charge and I grow to love him more. I have just realized I could spoil the film entirely if I go on... Lets say in the Originals films we hate what the Apes have become, but in fact Rise of the Planet of the Apes makes us hate what we have become as a superiour being on the planet (and should anything go like the film), you feel more for Caesar's freedom than you probably think you would, from seeing the first lot of films (assuming you have seen them if not go buy them now) Caesar in some weird way (I'm not a freak am ) is really attractive for a CGI Ape. Two Hand covering moments await you all. 

"Caesar is home."

I will go and see this film again and encourage you all to go out and watch it also. yes it has it's minor downsides, but to name them would have you looking for them and possibly might distract you from what a brilliant film Rupert Wyatt and Pierre Boulle have pulled off. Yes, i said brilliant because, as a child i grew up with Planet of the apes and Alien Nation, not Avatar (Which is great but seems to me a tad bit White supremacist MY OPINION) maybe that's just my warped way of thinking over the years.
I would definitely give this 10 stars with a Marbie Wow face. It's what i wanted and expected from a prequel.

    

Cowboys and Aliens 2011 review

In a time where I will never know what it must be like to live in New Mexico Territory. A stranger (Sexy ass Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. What he discovers the controller of the environment, Colonel Dolarhyde (Also Sexy Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. The Reject Craig only to be attacked by unworldly forces, he is now they're only hope (saw it coming). As this gunslinger (but not tobacco chewing) slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.


Now might be some spoilers in this but trust me that not going to matter in the slightest what is is that you maybe wanting your money back (for the ticket and travel). Firstly the I was left bored from the jump of, the first 25 minutes did nothing for me and although you saw loads of Mr Craig, I didn't fell as though his character was going to develop beyond this. And it didn't. Once I found out that the Aliens where on Earth to gather gold, I was left to make up my own reason as to why they wanted the gold (Not really explained apart from it being said it was valuable to aliens as to humans), No back story on why they were experimenting on humans no nothing. I'm not too sure why I'm writing this as I really don't have much to say that this film truly was a steaming pile of bullshit, that now makes me wonder if Daniel Craig can actually play another character other than James Bond and be good at it out side of his comfort zone. And as for Harrison ford from respecting him as a young Marbie (I'm still young Homosapiens don't get that twisted) watching him as Indiana Jones, to watch him acting as if he is doing improv at a theatre session. Sorry the two big names that were suppose to make this film didn't even make it worth me watching (and I barely did that).


Cowboys and Aliens is what we wanted (No, not really), and that's exactly what we got. Underdeveloped cowboy and Indian characters and an AI, I mean Alien squad that were as smart as any Hill Billy with an up-side down, wordless, picture book. If this is all Hollywood has to offer after the Big BLOCKBUSTER, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2, then this summer I feel sorry for them (Glee 3D? come on now). This film could I admit been a tad bit better with the whole genre-blending they attempted to do, but plastering Big names to a film with no real thought out plot and lack there of character development does not mean your gonna get shit. 


I give this film: A fifth of a star, out of Ten. Save they money to buy some drinks or go see another film, Homosapiens trust me on this one.
