The Lorax was a film that I had been looking forward to ever since I saw the first trailer late last year and it didn't disappoint. You know I am hooked when by the time the film is over I am crying. I have to admit I am not as familiar with the the lorax as I am with some of Dr. Seuss's other staples like the Cat in the Hat. I have to say I am surprised at how well Dr. Seuss was able to accurately predict what the future was to look like, its almost scary how ahead of his time that he was. I know that there has been a lot of debate about the message this movie gives to children and its a good one at that but instead of people looking for a message to brainwash young children how about enjoying the movie for simply what is.
My next film was the highly controversial Project X, I fell for all the silly ad campaigns all over twitter and facebook. I didn't expect much and I din't get much in return. 3 teens throw an epic party in order to rise in popularity at their school. Except said party goes completely out of control with houses on fire the destroying of a 100,000 dollar car and utter chaos that teenager can cause. Two things came to mind while watching this movie one being hat I felt that I was gonna be sick during the entire movie, one would think I would learn my lesson after watching cloverfield. Maybe I am just getting old but no more films that are strictly shot by a hand held camera. The other thought I had was I wish growing up I had been to a party like this. I wouldn't want to throw it but I wouldn't mind attending it.
The best film out of the 3 I saw was 21 Jump-street. I don't remember much of the show I know that my aunt watched it every week and I caught glimpses of it. The only thing I do remember is johnny depp. The great thing about the film is that you don't have to be a fan of the show to get into the movie. The only thing that is the same is the premise. Grown adults who look younger then there years take part in a police program where they infiltrate high schools and find some kids who are running drugs. Jonah Hill co-wrote the script as well as co-produced it with Channing Tatum. The real standout here is Channing I didn't think he would really be able to pull off a comedy but he did a terrific job, sometimes being eye candy can work against you as an actor but if anything it works to his advantage. There has already been a green light on a sequel to the film which will more than likely follow them as they head to college, you can count me in.
That is my review for march I will be back later with more reviews.
See you at the Movies
