Caro the Movie Critic

Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner.  2014 NFL Draft Day. Each football teams want to obtain the best players to divulge what season every team presents during the exciting football season. The draft seems to predict who will be stars and who will become overrated stars during the season and who will become disappointing players that everyone thought that would be great athletes. You never know what to expect because each new recruit has to have chemistry with the team, coaches, general managers, and its fans. Sometimes, the consensual number one pick is just up for grabs. Every team would want that player, but, unfortunately, one can have him. The pressure is on for a general manager. And, I thought the pressure was on for the studio for them to release this movie what could have potentially been a disaster. But, this movie was not as bad as I thought. Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner) and his salary cap manager and girlfriend Ali (Jennifer Garn...

Karen Gillam is spooked by something. What do you see when you are looking in the mirror? Yourself, I presume. But, look at yourself and think deeply. What do you see? You see your inner flaws, your inner insecurities, your weaknesses, etc. But, sometimes, on a very bright day, you see your inner ambitions and your strengths. However, to take a psychological premise and turn it into a scary movie is extremely difficult as horror plots tend to go on "automatic pilot" or just become flatline ridiculous. This independent psychological horror flick is a good one. Now, I'm going to be very careful writing this review because two different plot lines interweave with one another with flashbacks: 11 years ago and in the present. In the past, computer developer Alan Russell (Rory Cochrane) movie into the house with his wife, Marie (Katee Sackhoff), and his two children, Tim and Kaylie (Garrett Ryan and Annalisse Basso). Alan purchases an antique mirror that makes both pare...

Blu and Jewel and their child in the Amazon. The next few years are going to busy years for Rio: The 2014 Fifa World Cup coming this summer. I will not reveal who will be the favorite, though. But, I am excited for that. And also, the Summer Olympics coming in Summer 2016. It is just going to "Carnival!" with much celebration and spectacle. However, we have another sequel about Rio coming out and even though its predecessor was a surprisingly fun and pleasant movie, the movie is great to look at but it is not backed up with an interesting central storyline. The movie begins with a grand celebration across Rio de Janeiro. Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) are married with three kids, Carla, Bia, and Tiago. They join their friends Raphael (George Lopez), Pedro (will.i.am), and Nico (Jamie Foxx) amidst their celebration. Things go amuck and ridiculously satisfying as the three children tie up Tiny (Kate Micucci), but Blu and Jewel prevent it. Blu accidentally...

Captain America (Chris Evans) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson). After the Avengers , any superhero movie, including The Dark Knight Rises , tries to have a plot that raises interest for the audience in various tones and themes. Even though Rises  was a great picture, the movie was more of a dark conclusion than a fun superhero film. The rest of the Marvel movies such as: Iron Man 3 , Thor: The Dark World , and The Amazing Spider-Man  tried a bit too hard to create some fun adrenaline, but the filmmakers do not create an imaginative plot or story. This time, this Captain America  sequel is on the top-tier level of Marvel superhero films in terms of action and story. The film opens with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) going on a quick morning run with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). After the latter is resting and the former catches up, they both formally introduce each other as Sam is a war veteran and he knows that Steve is catching up to know the ways of the 21st centu...

Joe (Gainsbourg) in a rather uncomfortable position. Volume II is a continuation of Volume I of Lars Von Trier's bizarre movies. And let's cut to the chase, the movie is not as good as the predecessor. Unfortunately, the movie is not well-known as a "stand-alone" film. The second volume begins with a teenage Joe (Stacy Martin) with her eyes wide open naked in bed as she is living with Jerome (Shia LaBeouf). All of her lovers are trying to contact her -- calling her, knocking on the door incessantly. But, Joe tries everything to get rid of her past. Then, the movie goes into another narration by present-day Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) when she tells of a story when she was 12 years old, she was lying on the grass and as the ground shakes violently, and she is up in the air levitating beside two other females, one with a veil and one with a child in her hand. Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) criticizes her dream as religious blasphemy relevant to the Transfiguration ...

Shia LaBoeuf on his way to work. Nymphomaniac: noun . - a woman who has abnormally excessive and uncontrollable desire In other words, it is defined as a person who really loves sex or who is always craving for sex. However, nymphomania is applied to women as satyriasis is applied to males. Individuals' sexual though interfere with their lives, relationships, hobbies, and the ability to work properly. It is debatable whether this sexual addiction is a factor of obsessive-compulsive behavior. Now, I do not to begin writing this review as a thesis in medical school for sexual behavior. I'm writing about Lars Von Trier's volumes of bizarre episodes relevant to the human condition of sexuality. I'm not a huge fan of Von Trier's work, even though I loved Melancholia , but this movie made me cringe and think and I think that's a compliment to Volume I. The movie starts with a man (Stellan Skarsgård) going out for a walk to get some bait and on his way back hom...

The summer is not really around the corner, but for big summer blockbusters, it is. Studios and filmmakers present their finished projects -- predicting that they will gross enormous amount of money in the box office -- in the first week of May. So, if one big movie is opening in the first week of May, that means the summer popcorn season begins. And, here are my top 10 anticipated films of Summer 2014. It was tough to pick the most anticipated movie because, in a long while, there's not one that I say that I'm really dying to go see and, at the same time, that it will received well by the audience and the critics. 10. Godzilla, May 16 I'm not a huge fan of Godzilla, but given the unknown clarity and skepticism that I got from this trailer, it looks eerily exciting. I just hope that the final result will not be as disastrous as the other movie directed by Roland Emmerich in 1998. God, that was a piece of junk. 9. Transformers: Age of Extinction, June 27 Ugh!...
