There are many movies in the past few years that I either did not like, or I found their trailers too boring to even waste time on watching the actual movie. I wouldn't consider myself a movie snob. I am just like everyone else when it comes to knowing what kind of movies I enjoy. I don't have a specific genre of movies I prefer, because I can watch almost anything. So, even though I am were cautious when it comes to going to the movie theater and paying $12 for a movie ticket, I am going to agree right now to go see three movies this summer. These movies can be of any genre and I am allowed to decide which ones I am going to see. I will start by watching the trailers now and give my thoughts on them. Then, I will write a piece later on each movie stating my opinion and if you should go see them.
1. "Me Before You"
This movie is a drama about a girl who is hired to take care of a "recently-paralyzed" man. I saw the trailer a few months ago and immediately bought the book. I was very intrigued in how the author would end it, so I finished it in about four-five hours. While watching the trailer, my eyes immediately take in the setting. The places the plot takes place in are beautiful. It may be a weird thing to notice, but I think it helps sell the story. I believe the overall plot is very sad and really captures the audience because you know there are only a few ways this story will go. I will be very interested to see how well the movie sets the story compared to the book.
2. "The Conjuring 2"
OK, so I have seen the first movie and I really liked it. I love scary movies and a lot of scary movies are coming out this summer. This is only one of the few that I really want to see. The coolest part about this movie is their ability to continue with the same cast. I believe it is awesome when they can get the original cast to stay involved and make more stories. There is also something super exciting about watching horror films in the theater. It is better than watching them at home. The thing that keeps me on edge during horror films is the scoring of the movie. If I jump or scream a lot in the theater, then I know they scored the movie well. It seems very strange, but I've watched scary movies before that did not scare me and I believe it is because of the music. I hope I leave this movie terrified, but we shall see.
3. "Finding Dory"
This is the movie I am most looking forward to seeing. I have watched "Finding Nemo" so many times throughout my childhood, that it is ridiculous. I remember going to the theater and watching it with my Mimi. I think it is only right that I go see "Finding Dory" in the theater. After watching the trailer, I can honestly say I am so excited! I cannot wait to see if Dory finds her family. My biggest fear with this movie is that it will not be as great as the first one.
Now that I have chosen three movies that I am going to see, make sure you check back to see my individual reviews on each movie. I'll let you know what I liked, what I didn't like, and whether or not you should spend $12 to go see it! Stay tuned!
