The Divergent Series: Insurgent is a 2015 YA Action Adventure Film. To start off if you have not seen Divergent leave now or forever hold your peace... I am going to begin with that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, most critics and fans would seem to disagree. I in fact have read all the books and are aware of the plot changes. To all the Fangirls and Fanboys who are rolling their eyes right now going "hmmm I didn't like it blahblahblah..." GO F*** YOUR SELF.(sorry) As a reminder most of Insurgent was in Tris' mind and we did not need an inner monologue or narration for the whole movie I mean we've all seen how well that worked for Twlight...(did you catch the sarcasm?) Overall Insurgent was well acted and well directed and I am overall enthusiastic to see Allegiant part 1.The added humor made for an even better and more rounded film. I give it a solid 3 out of 5 for minor but important issues with the film.(*Spoilers*)

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!!Non-Stop is a 2014 mystery, action, thriller film. Non-Stop hmmm I'm just going to jump right into the review I mean this movie doesn't even deserve a plot summery. To start off Non-Stop was one of the worst movies I have ever seen and it had so much potential! With actors like Julianne Moore , Lupita nyong'o and I guess Liam Nesson it could have been great...but it wasn't. Here is how it fell through , first off an Air Marshall would have had more power than he had and at the same time less power, if that makes sense. Liam Nesson's character was very undeveloped, the plot was quite predictable (we all know it was the guy who asked for a lighter I mean really he has no other prevalence to the story). The plot was not only predictable but defiantly so unrealistic I was zoning out of the movie and back into real life. If you're confused by what I mean I will explain while Bill is getting the threats he consults with his commander and tells him of the death threats, the bombs and so on unlike in the movie these threats would not have been so disregarded but taken to a defcon 5 situation. If the story had a different screen-writer and was shot another place other than a plane it may have been an ok movie but the fact that you could not trace the number , Liam Nesson had another cliché of daughter. I mean god damn I'm not even naming everything wrong with this movie and there still a ton of things that stunk! Over all I would give this movie a flat 1 out of 5.
This movie literally sucked the life out of me and I didn't even mention that whole bomb BS.

How I Live Now is a 2013 British drama/thriller film. How I Live Now is a modern apocalyptic film about a teen named Elizabeth "Daisy" whom is sent to live with her cousins in England. While first Visiting "Daisy" is spiteful and cold it is then reveled she is anorexic and neurotic. This is then seen to first complicate any form of bonding that she could have with her cousins but eventually warms up to them and forms a romantic relationship with the eldest cousin Eddie. Throughout the story it shows the effects of the apocalypse in ways such as PTSD , overall shock , and grief. I would give this movie a 5 out of 5 in the apocalypse film genre and a 4.5 out of 5 overall as a Hollywood film. This reasoning was the way each indivual character reacted to the trauma they faced in real ways that real people would have reacted. The characters although were not happy go lucky I believed they were defiantly 3 dimensional instead of the usual Hollywood complacent 2D persona. The dialog was diverse although at times there was unnecessary cussing. Saoirse Ronan had a stunning performance in this production also adding to the 3D character aspect. I would most defiantly consider this one of my favorite films of recent. Tell me in the comments below what you thought of How I Live Now!

Rubinrot or Translated into English as Ruby Red is a 2012 German film. Rubinrot follows the Story of Gwendolyn Shepherd an average young teenager who finds herself caught between the past and present with time travelling powers. This modern day teenage take on time travelling is compelling and quite interesting, as the plot thickens throughout the story there is a romantic relationship developed by Gwendolyn and her time travelling partner Gideon. For a low budget German film this was quite good for it had romance , action , adventure and at times humor. If brought to the Hollywood box-office this may have been a different story for the cinematography was only okay , there were some odd jump cuts , the screen writers German to English translation had quite basic language diversity. The audio actors on the English version were satisfactory and mediocre. For full enjoyment it may better to watch the German version with English subtitles. As a teenage foreign film it was alright I would give it 4 out of 5. As a foreign film overall a 2.5 out of 5. As a teenage Hollywood film 4 out of 5 as well.
PS. MPAA YOU SUCK!
