Rating: PG-13 Director: Anthony and Joe Russo I'm kind of upset that I finished the Marvel phases 1-3 by finishing Endgame. Everything I have been waiting for in the Marvel Universe is basically *boom* over. I’m really glad Abigail forced me to start the Marvel movies and told me to watch them in timeline order because otherwise I would have been more confused. I have been watching these movies for a little under a year. I started in June last year and watched them with my dad and sister before she returned to Auburn for vet school. When she went back to school my dad and I stopped watching them until January when I knew I needed to get to Endgame, so I was very forceful about it. I could have watched them myself, but it was cool to have something like this to do with my dad. Endgame was a great ending to phases 1-3 and I am very pleased, besides Iron Man dying, but I understand why and it makes the perfect finish for those characters. I don’t know why I’m reluctant to continue watching the movies such as Shang-Chi despite the raving reviews I’ve heard about it. Usually movies that are 3 hours feel like forever and aren’t enjoyable, but this movie was the opposite for me. I never wanted it to end and it was the perfect time for that movie because personally I felt satisfied after it ended. I knew about what happened in the last hour of the movie before starting the Marvel movies because it was on TV one day and my mom wanted to watch it. I’m glad that I saw the ending beforehand because I was able to prepare myself for the disappointing death. I didn’t feel like it was ruined for me because I didn’t even understand what was going on when at first watching it, so it was ok that I saw it because I needed to see the backstories and who everybody was. There is so many things in this movie that was perfect and satisfying. When Captain America was able to grab Thor’s hammer, it was AMAZING. I think my jaw dropped when that happened because of how perfect it was to see on screen. I also teared up a little when everybody came back from being dust and they all huddled together to defeat Thanos. This film had great content but was also beautifully made. The colors in it and all the different shots and scenes were fantastic. This definitely is in my top 5 favorite movies because of how it is enjoyable for the entire 3 hours, which doesn’t happen very often. I thought it was cool how Captain America was able to get his dance with Peggy, but honestly every storyline and character had a satisfying ending. I have nothing but positive comments to make about this movie and could watch it many more times, it was wonderful and pleasing. Trailer: youtu.be/TcMBFSGVi1c

Rating: PG-13 Director: Rian Johnson This movie was absolutely fantastic! Sometimes murder mysteries can be boring because of their predictability or the way its played out in a movie, however that was not the case with Knives Out. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the entire thing and never found myself bored. I liked how they kept making you think it was a suicide because you truly couldn’t figure out who the killer was. I had a feeling it wasn’t a suicide but I went along with it because I thought the movie was playing a trick on the audience. I think the casting was incredible. Jamie Lee Curtis, Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Katherine Langford, Don Johnson, and Ana de Armas were all wonderful in their parts and really made the story come alive. I liked how they would give you parts of what happened that night through flashbacks and then go back to the present leaving you to question “whodunnit.” I’m not very good at determining the killers in a murder mystery, but usually my mom can. For this movie, she wasn’t able to guess which means the way this movie played the story out was very engaging. It was hard for me to see Chris Evans as the bad guy because of the Marvel movies I have been watching whenever I can, but what made it fun was to see him play a different role than a hero. I think his acting was impressive and embodied the villain part perfectly. The whole time I was fooled thinking he was the nice one helping Marta out when really he was trying to frame her. I really loved the ending when Marta was sipping her coffee peacefully looking down on the rest of the family showing them they no longer belong in the house. Harlan was such a cutie and I hate that it was the sweet elderly person who died, but the story between him and Marta was really cute. I hate that Marta was made to feel like she killed him when in reality Ransom purposefully tried to kill his own grandfather through Marta. In this story, money as a motive made sense, but it would be cool to see other motives for a murder mystery. I think it was brilliant to add comedy into the murder mystery because that made it all the more enjoyable. I’m excited to see the story for Knives Out 2, even though it will have a different cast.

However this past weekend I watched Dr. Strange with my dad and Strange’s doctor friend, Christine, is Rachel McAdams who I recognized from a movie but couldn’t quite figure it out. So I looked up the movies she was in and I saw The Notebook listed. Then I told myself why not watch it since it seems to be a movie everyone has seen before. I really enjoyed it. It took me a while to figure out the elderly man reading to the elderly woman was Noah and Allie. Once I figured it out, the movie just all came together. I know there was a reason they were showing the nursing home, but I couldn’t believe it was Allie who lost her memory. Ryan Gosling was perfect in this role with Rachel McAdams and somehow James Marsden played a role, but I guess he did a fine job. I just think Noah and Allie are so cute especially as an older couple and the fact that he reads to her to help her remember even just for a little, is the cutest thing ever. I can’t believe I have never seen this movie before, but I’m just glad I did this past weekend. I enjoyed the storyline, characters and how they switched back and forth between timelines and made it connect so well. I’m really glad Allie and Noah did end up together because I hate those movies *cough cough* La La Land where they are so made for each other and don’t even end up together. This movie made me sad and happy at the same time. The old couple was just so cute but the fact that Noah still put in the effort when his kids kind of didn’t care any more was the sweetest thing ever. I really enjoyed watching this movie!
