Carlos Salas/Week 7/The Lego Movie

     Lego's are something that have been around for ages, they have lego land but I always wondered when they were going to make the movie... and it has arrived! I honestly did not choose this movie to watch but I am very glad I did because this movie has everything that a family movie should bring to the table and after watching The Lego Movie would definitely be my first choice.
    What I ultimately love about this movie, is its meaning, it follows Emmit a regular, follow the rules guy that takes a risk and becomes "the special" which is like "the chosen one" and this was given to him because he chose to be different. Being different just makes you special and unique. If that isn't deep it also has a backstory that shows parents that sometimes you are a little to strict with things you should be a little more lenient with.
     Who doesn't love a little Morgan Freeman or Elizabeth Banks or Batman, well guess where you can watch them.. The Lego Movie. They play characters that help Emmit on his journey to stop Mr.Business, our villain who forces people to follow extremely strict rules and allows no difference.
     The Lego Movie is a solid cinematic translation of the toys that come to life on our big screen. Although initially designed for children, Legos have become a way, which people of all ages can express their creativity. There are probably as many adults "playing" with Legos than children. This movie fits people of all age that have any sense of humor at all, I took my parents who don't speak English very well and now they beg me to buy the movie or rent it every weekend.

Carlos Salas/Week 6/Frozen

     Frozen is an unstoppable movie, grossing at over 300 million dollars and showing no signs of slowing down. I my self have watched the movie about a gazillion times and love it even more every time. Frozen is aimed for a younger audience but is amazing for anyone, it is  From cute characters, to some of the best musical numbers, and the most heart warming storyline ever, I have to rate this movie a 5 out of 5 stars.
     If you still haven't seen Frozen then hopefully this will give you a little bit of knowledge about the movie so you can decide if you want to see it or not.
     The movie takes place in the kingdom of Arendelle where we see two princesses Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel), Elsa has the power to control ice and as children the princesses liked to play together but an event happens that forces Elsa to grow up isolated and Anna to not know of her sisters powers. What I like about this movie is the information is delivered to us so sweetly in amazing musical numbers that warm your heart up. It becomes tragic when the princesses parents die in an accident and Elsa is forced to become Queen. The containment of her powers becomes hard for her and she accidently shows everyone her mystic power, leading her to run from the kingdom. Anna bravely goes on an adventure to bring her back to the kingdom and stop the massive storm that she spawned in her rage, which for us spawned an endless song "Let it go" which was used by Demi Lovato to promote the movi, and Idina Menzel in the movie.
    We see a lot of other characters like Olaf (Josh Gad), the adorable humor of this movie because what is a Disney movie without a cute character right? Gad brings just the right amount of wide-eyed enthusiasm to the voice of a character who doesn’t know anything about the world, but is eager to discover it, to a fault.
    Frozen is continuing to grow and for one am glad I saw it because it was just Disneys comeback, a classic tale , Frozen stands out for its old-fashioned story ;with its regal setting, its lonely princess in a castle, its kingdom under a spell — and for its visual pleasentness.

Carlos Salas/Week 5/Prom

   Going along with last weeks high school classic Mean Girls, I bring to the table something newish that I've barly seen.. Prom. Aimee Teegarden is Nova, a serious high school student who is particularly serious about the prom; she’s the main organizer and wants everything to be positively special and perfect for everyone, including her self. She’d also like a date to it, but the guy she has in mind doesn’t really get the gist. Destiny felt a little tricky and ruined the shed containing the prom decorations and she has to rebuild them quickly with the help of the school bad boy, Jesse (Thomas McDonell).The two fell in strange love. Lots of side plots about who’s going to ask whom to the big event propel things along, with Nicholas Braun making the best comic contributions as a hapless senior who has waited too long to snag a date. Anyway, in the end, tuxedos are rented, connections are made, and, of course, lessons are learned but all in all Prom to me was an entertaining but not all that great movie. 3 out of 5 stars for me.
