Superfan Has No Idea He's Going to Meet Emma Watson

Joven from Smosh is one of Emma Watson's biggest fans, and when the team has the chance to interview her for Noah, they tell him he's going to interview Logan Lerman, when in reality they're interviewing Emma.  The look on his face when she walks in a kisses his cheek is priceless. It's actually a very charming video and she's so sweet about the whole thing!

Movies I'm Excited To See In April

I haven't been to the movies in a little while, which is quite odd for me, but in the next few weeks there are a lot of movies to be excited about.

The Lego Movie - April 3rd

I am so excited for this one, it's coming out this Thursday and has been receiving great press. There are so many big names in this movie including Morgan Freeman, Jonah Hill, Elizabeth Banks, Will Ferrell and Channing Tatum.

Chris Pratt voices unlikely hero Emmett who finds himself having to save the world from Ferrell's villain, President Business. Characters from Star Wars, Harry Potter, as well as super heroes like Batman and Superman all make an appearance to come together and save their world from President Business.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier - April 3rd

Big weekend coming with Captain America: The Winter Soldier also being released. Chris Evans is back as Steve Rogers and stars alongside Scarlett Johannson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford and Sebastian Stan.

After the events of The Avengers, Steve is living a "quiet" life in Washington D.C., but that of course doesn't last long before he's faced with a new threat, the Winter Soldier. Apparently the film is an excellent sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger and is also one of the darkest stories from Marvel.

Divergent - April 10th

I've been meaning to read this book since 2012 and have only just started, at least it'll be fresh in my mind when I see the movie! Shailene Woodley has been everywhere lately, she stars as Tris in Divergent and she'll also appear in The Fault In Our Stars (another book I need to read) and was recently in The Spectacular Now (not sure if this ever got a theatrical release in Australia, but I saw it in the US and it's worth a watch). The movie also stars Theo James, Kate Winslet, Zoe Kravitz and Miles Teller (who's also been everywhere lately!).

Divergent is another dystopian flick like The Hunger Games (though I've heard it doesn't quite reach that level of greatness) where the world is divided into factions based on virtues like bravery and selflessness. Those who don't fit in are known as divergent and threaten the system, Tris learns she's divergent and finds out there's a plot to destroy them. She has to find out why before it's too late.

I've seen mixed reviews, but lets hope it tides us over until Mockingjay Part 1 is released in November!

Marni Sees...Ride Along

 

If you’re looking for a movie that gets you thinking and has a deep meaning behind it, then Ride Along isn’t the movie for you. If, however, you’re after a couple of hours of laughs, no thinking required, you’re set!

Ride Along stars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube as Ben and James. Ben is a high school security guard who loves playing shoot-em-up style video games and hopes to make it into the Police Academy so he can finally feel worthy of his girlfriend, Angela, and in turn ask her to marry him. Angela’s big brother, James, who happens to be a police officer, disapproves of Ben and makes it no secret. James decides to take Ben on a ride along with him to see what he’s made of. Making sure he gets all the annoying cases for the day, James hopes to turn Ben off joining the academy. It works at first, until Ben realises James is working on a much bigger case, tracking down crime kingpin Omar, who happens to have never been sighted by anyone…ever.  It doesn’t take long for Ben to start sniffing around and the boys end up with more than the joyride they bargained for.  

Kevin Hart is his signature fast talking and over the top idiot (not a far cry from his Think Like A Man character), and Ice Cube, well he doesn’t go too far out of his comfort zone either falling back on scary/funny persona (pretty much exactly his Captain Dickson character in 21 Jump Street).

I went to a screening attended by Kevin and he had the cinema in stitches before the movie even started, so it definitely can’t be said that the guy isn’t funny.  He even did a huge group selfie with everyone, similar to that of Ellen’s Oscar’s selfie…OK it was nothing like that, but he tried!  The movie isn’t completely terrible in terms of action/comedies, it’s a predictable film that probably should have quit while it was ahead rather than tacking on more and more “action” scenes. Having said that, Universal have already got a sequel on the way, so they certainly believe in the franchise’s ability to make money. You won’t be disappointed by this movie if we’re going by the reactions of the audience at my screening who laughed hysterically for most of the film. If you liked 21 Jump Street, then this movie should tide you over until 22 Jump Street is released.

2.5/5
