Movie Reviews: Minions

Evolving from single-celled yellow organisms at the dawn of time, Minions live to serve, but find themselves working for a continual series of unsuccessful masters, from T. Rex to Napoleon. Without a master to grovel for, the Minions fall into a deep depression. This is the part in the beginning of the movie that was also in the trailer. I was out buying popcorn. 









Sandra Bullock as Scarlett OverKill was one of the funnier characters, the duo of Jon Hamm as Herb Overkill was a great dynamic. I didn't know that all the Minions were voiced by Pierre Coffin.


I'll have to watch this movie again to determine with was the better film, Inside Out or Minions. Though I believe Minions will make more money and take the top spot till Ant-Man will make the cut. My prediction for the week. Minions are number one, Jurassic World will take number two spot and Inside Out will be third.

***SPOILER ALERT***



The biggest surprise that I could have waited for was the return of Steve Carell as Young Gru. I was okay with it but I felt that it was too soon. If Minions spawns a sequel I would have rather Gru come then. But I can see that were leaning towards the adventures of Gru and Minions from the younger years.

Through The Trailers: Bridge of Spies Official Trailer #1 Review

Tom Hanks plays (James Donovan) an insurance lawyer recruited by the CIA during the Cold War to help rescue an American pilot detained in the Soviet Union. Directed by Steven Spielberg, that's when I knew I was going to watch this movie. You had me at Tom and you had me hooked on Steven. The key point of that gave this trailer gravity was when Amy Ryan (Mary Donovan) tells James to lie to her. Tell her that he's not going to be in any danger, even if its a lie, just give her something to hold on too. Wow! I do not like to use movies to teach history. But I suspect to learn a lot about certain events that I never paid attention in at school. The raising of the Berlin Wall for example, the tensions between American and how mob mentalities rage like wild fire when tension are this high. This movie will speak to a lot of current events. History is a rerunning events. This movie will reflect that upon us today.

Everyone deserves a defense. Every person matters. But lets be clear, no body is safe. These are dialog that comes from different scenes in the movie but the way this trailer pieces them together makes this an amazing work of marketing. I can't wait to check this one out. The band that played hits like Catch Me if You Can & Saving Private Ryan is back in Bridges of Spies.
