WALL·E (2008)

IMDB: "Wall-E"
On IMDBs Top 250 Movies

This is a solid proof that Disney can do SO much with such little dialogue. I have a friend who says this is the most romantic movie she's ever seen, and I can't argue with her. Wall-E is cute, charming, adorable and awesome!

It's way into the future (2805 to be exact) and the Earth is so littered and ruined it's not even livable anymore. The humans are gone and are now living on a ship beyond the stars, but there's one little guy living on Earth, and that's Wall·E. He's one of the robots who was put on Earth to clean it up and the only one left standing.

One day, he discovers a spaceship coming down and leaving a beautiful white robot called Eve. They meet, but she's a little rough around the edges. He shows her what he found, a living plant and that's when it all starts. Somehow he ends up on the spaceship and him and Eve have to try and protect this plant who is the savior for the humans.

So if you're looking for a date-movie, a good time with your family and friends, you should embark yourself on this magical love-journey.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

IMDB: "Mad Max: Fury Road"

I haven't seen the old classic Mad Max movies by George Miller (yet), and that's because over-the-top-manly movies are not my kind of thing. I love action and all that awesome stuff, but you know.. I have my limits. So you can easily say I only watched this movie because Tom Hardy is in it. Yes, I am that kind of girl. But it has led to hundreds of cool movies because of it (not just by Hardy).

Mad Max Rockatansky earlier portraied by Mel Gibson (and others), nowadays, the hard(y)core, Tom!

Max is a little mad, he's lived in the desert for too long it seems. His mind is playing tricks on him from the past. He is somehow "kidnapped" by the War People and this is were Nux (Nicholas Hoult) comes in. Nux is what you call a hands down crazy person. They all are, but this guy is really good at it!

One of the War People, Furiosa (Charlize Theron) has taken the leader Immortan Joes (Hugh Keays-Byrne) wifes (or trophies, whatever you want to call them) and now she's taking them to a safe place somewhere beyond the desert. Joe is not happy about that, so he goes after them to get them back.

And there you have it. A mind blowing chase. Crazy people following mad people. Things get blown up, whiped out and destroyed. I wouldn't even dare to think how this movie would have been if Michael Bay directed it..

Furiosa was my favorite, and it felt like the movie was about her to be honest. Max was like "the third character", because both Furiosa and Nux stole the show!! Nux was so over-the-top-suicidal and perfectly mad! I was so surprised by how much I liked it and the more I think of it, the cooler it got.

* 7/10 *

Sequel of: "Mad Max", "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" and "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome".

Big Hero 6 (2014)

IMDB: "Big Hero 6"

I saw the trailer a hundred times where I work, so much that I became sick of it. When I saw it.. it blew my mind!! I fell in love with Baymax like I did with Wall-E! And what is the coolest about it all: It's both Disney and Marvel! 

Hiro (Ryan Potter - (Please, Ryan.. Have a kid and name him Harry!)
and Baymax (Scott Adsit) getting to know each other strengths.

Hiro loves to enter his robot in robot fights, because although he's young and his robot is a tiny, smiling, non-threatening little guy, Hiro is a really smart kid. Spoilers: He dominates!

His brother, Tadashi (Daniel Henney) is also pretty smart and he attends to San Fransokyo Tech where he builds and invents things and this is where we meet all his friends, but also Baymax!

Fred (T.J. Miller), Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), Hiro,
Go Go (Jamie Chung) and Wasabi (Damon Wayans Jr.).

Something horrible happens so Hiro wants revenge, and somehow ends up with Baymax and they start investigating. Luckily they get some help from Tadashis friends and they all become super heroes!

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'm just going to say that if you love Disney and/or Marvel (who doesn't..) you should check out this movie! Like I said, I was sceptical when I started out, but after "5 seconds" I was all in! This movie is beautiful, funny, awesome and heartwarming!

Armageddon (1998)

IMDB: "Armageddon"

Another childhood movie that I love! And no "offense" to the movie, but the best thing about this film is the music. It's one of my favorite soundtracks, Trevor Rabin knows his way around my dreams! Anywho, the movie itself is cool. I mean, they're in space, they're amateurs.. And the fate of the world is in Bruce Willis' hands!

Steve Buscemi, Will Patton, Bruce Willis, Michael Clarke Duncan,
Ben Affleck and Owen Wilson suited up to save the world!

Harry (Willis) is working on an oil-rig with his boys. And his daughter, Grace (Liv Tyler) lives there as well among all the oily, dirty men. While they're doing their job, NASA finds out that a meteor is on its course for planet Earth and they have to do something.. FAST! They have to drill the meteor in two, and who better to drill than the best driller in the country, Harry and his men! But they have little time, will the training they receive in so little time be enough to save the world?

Harry has got a case of SFFMWSWHD.. Also known as:
Short Fuse For Men Who Sleeps With His Daughter.

The Lion King (1994)

IMDB: "The Lion King"
On IMDBs 250 Top Movies

I remember watching this movie as a little girl at the cinema and I refused (*spoiler alert*) to leave the room if Mufasa didn't come back. I cried rivers.. and I still do! There's no doubt that there's a big spot for The Lion King in my heart and it'll always be one of my favorite movies, along with "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast".

Simba is born and his father, Mufasa is passing on all his knowledge on life. Mufasa has a brother too, Scar. Not the sweet, cool uncle that many has, but a bitter lion who wants Pride Rock for himself and he does whatever he can to obtain that power. Simba is forced to run away from home and somewhere out in the African land he meets Timon and Pumba who becomes his new best friends. His former bestfriend, Nala finds him and tries to convince Simba to come back and take back what's rightfully his. Will he take matter into his own paws?

Nala and Simba, best friends forever!

Scar and Mufasa.. not the bestest of friends.. or even family..

Timon and Pumba's motto is: "Hakuna Matata" which means "No worries"!

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

IMDB: "Beauty and the Beast"
On IMDBs Top 250 Movies

Yes, it is the most beautiful love story ever told. 

If there's something Disney knows how to do, it's love and magical moments. Disney nowadays still knows how to truly touch our hearts, but nothing can enchant us more then the old Disney movies like "Aladdin", "The Lion King", "The Little Mermaid" and this fantastic love story of "Beauty and the Beast"!

We have the beauty..

.. the Beast..

.. and the creepy, crazy and cocky man who wants the beauty for himself.

Belle lives in a little cute french town with her father, the inventor. She drifts off to dreamland whenever she can in one of her books. Her father ends up by mistake by a big, mysterious castle in the woods and is taken as prisoner by the Beast. Belle, as good-hearted as she is, trades places with him and is now trapped at the castle. The reason why Beast agreed to this is because of a magical rose he "earned" from a beautiful enchantress who cast the spell on him so that he would remain a beast until he finds someone who can love him before the last pedal fells by the time he's 25 years old. Is Belle the rescue he needed?

The Little Mermaid (1989)

IMDB: "The Little Mermaid"

If I had to choose between my four Disney favorites ("Beauty and the Beast", "The Lion King" and "Aladdin"), a gun to my head, this would be my pick. This is as magical as it gets for me. I love Ariel, I love the ocean, I love the animals, I love the music, I love every single sparkle in this movie! When I was a kid, my dreams were to be just like Ariel. And I'm still sitting here waiting for science to come up with a way so that we can become mermaids.

The most beautiful girl in Disney history!

Ariel is one of the 7 princesses of Atlantica. She's adventures, happy and curious! King Triton, her father hates humans and everything above water, but Ariel can't help it but to explore everything, not just under water. One day, she discovers humans in a boat, and Prince Eric is one of them! Something goes terribly wrong and she has to save him! When he wakes up, he gets a little glimpse of her cute face and is instantly drawn to her. Will he ever find her again?

Yes, he will. But she has to make some big sacrifices for him, and for that she has to go to the evil sea witch, Ursula! She's not asking much, just .. her voice in return for legs. Because, you know, "she's got her looks, her pretty face, and don't underestimate the importance of body language"!

Even the water looks magical!

The famous sea castle of Atlantica!

Aladdin (1992)

IMDB: "Aladdin"

I have four Disney favorites that no new Disney or any movies can triumph over. It's "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "The Lion King" and this exotic and magical fairytale "Aladdin"! There's not a chance for me to love Disney more than I do, and these four is what represents pure Disney magic in my eyes!

Aladdin is a street rat and he does his best to survive in the little town of Agrabah with his little furry companion Abu. In the palace lives the Sultan, his beautiful daughter Jasmine and his "trustworthy" Grand Vizier, Jafar. Princess Jasmine is sick of staying behind the walls of the palace and she escapes one day and walks around at the market, where she meets the charming and handsome Aladdin! Jafar doesn't like that, because he's suppose to marry Jasmine so that he can take over. So he comes up with a plan to get Aladdin out of the way. But thanks to little Abu, his plans goes up in sand..

"This is it? This is what we came all the way down here to......"

Thanks for the laughs, Genie.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

IMDB: "Guardians of the Galaxy"
On IMDBs Top 250 Movies

People have been looking forward to this film forever it feels, and I understand that.. I try to not have any hopes for any type of movie, but it seemed really cool from what I've seen.. And as a fan of Marvel (I mean, they have a lot of awesome movies!) I gotta say that this film did not hold up to my standards. On the poster it says it's from the creators of "The Avengers" and for me, if you put that as a comparison, you're aiming high enough.

I know I sound really disappointed, but it's not that bad. It was funny, cool and stuff, but there was just too much stories braided into each other. I really liked Chris Pratt, he's an up and coming star. And Vin Diesel as Groot, that was pretty awesome! I don't know the comics of these "heroes", but I hope, for the comic-fans that they did them justice. I just wish I liked it better..

Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Peter (Chris Pratt), Rocket (Bradley Cooper),
Drax (Dave Bautista) and Groot (Vin Diesel).

Peter (Pratt) is abducted right after his mother dies, and 20 years later we see him as he finds a ball that is actually a really powerful weapon. The bad guy, Ronan (Lee Pace) wants this really bad, so he puts a bounty on Peter, so everyone is after him. This is where we meet Gamora (Saldana), Rocket (Cooper), Groot (Diesel) and Drax (Bautista)! All of them wants to kill everyone, but they stick together after being captured. And now they gotta stay together to prevent Ronan getting that ball because that would be catastrophic! Well, they are Guardians of the Galaxy, right? They oughta do something.. 

The Collector (Benicio Del Toro)

Uhm.. well hello there! Chris Pratt.. I didn't even know..!

Back to the Future trilogy

On IMDBs Top 250 Movies

This has got to be my favorite films of all time!! It's the answer I always give when someone asks me "What's your favorite movie?". They're brilliant, funny, exciting and pure genius! Number ones for ever!

Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is a normal guy, goes to school, has a girlfriend, wants a nice car and all that. He also has a "special" friend, Doc (Christopher Lloyd) who is an inventor (and a good one I might add). He actually invents a time machine out of a DeLorean! And there's stuff to be fixed in the past (and the future). 

Doc, Marty McFly and his momma, Lorraine a couple of years after the epic trilogy!

I don't have enough words or cheerful screams to explain how much I love these movies! Robert Zemeckis really knows his stuff! 

This is the actual date of when Marty goes forward i time!
There's a lot of people who messes around with this date, but this is a printscreen of the movie.

X-Men: First Class (2011)

IMDB: "X-Men: First Class"

Here we meet all of the mutants as young and a few "new ones". And if that wasn't enough: Kevin Bacon is the bad guy!! He's a pretty cool guy and his face just works for being bad.

I smell Bacon.. and it smells good!!

Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) has hair, Eric Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) is .. just as bad as before. BUT they're friends?! Charles meets Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) when they're kids and develop a sort of sister/brother relationship. When they're older, they gather up a group of mutants and this is where they meet Eric/Magneto. They're teamed up to stop the war that's about to erupt, but there's also another threat: Sebastian Shaw (Bacon), who Eric has known his whole life, but he's not so fond of him, to say it mildly..

The gang of awesomeness:
Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones), Magneto (Fassbender), Mystique (Lawrence), Moira MacTaggert (Rose Byrne), Beast (Nicholas Hoult), Xavier (McAvoy) and Havok (Lucas Till).

* 10/10 *

Sequel of: "X-Men", "X-Men 2", "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

IMDB: "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"

I saw this movie 7 times when it was running in the movie theaters, 3 of them were by myself just because I wanted to see it again and again! I have it on DVD and Blu-Ray, just in case.

Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) Hubba, hubba!!

This is the story of Logan (Jackman) and his brother Victor (Liev Schreiber) and their way through life. Victor takes a wrong turn and Logan wants out of trouble so they each go their seperate ways. Logan is now (sort of) happy with his girl Kayla (Lynn Collins), but all of a sudden Victor shows up again and starts up trouble and the rest is pure awesomness!

Brothers for life (a loooong life!), Logan and Victor. Hardcore man-power!

* 10/10 *

Sequel of: "X-Men", "X-Men 2" and "X-Men: The Last Stand".

Thor: The Dark World (2014)

IMDB: "Thor: The Dark World"

I actually don't remember much from "Thor".. I only remember the hotness from The Mighty Thor himself: Chris Hemsworth, so of course I couldn't wait for this film too. Besides from being mesmerised from muscles, I loved the story and I fell in love with Loki! He's so funny, but bad at the same time.

Tom Hiddleston.. my new crush!

This time, Thor has been away for a couple of years, so Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) has sort of given up on looking for him. But you know Thor, he'll be back after saving the world and all that. And before he gets to Jane, she's "infected" with some red mysterious fog-type-thing that makes her very desirable for Malekith (the bad guy) because he wants what she has, it's not for her to play with.

This movie has humour, emotional moments, action, handsome men.. and it's Marvel! Gotta love those superheroes! Good or bad!

* 8/10 *

Sequel of "Thor".
