This Is the End

Cast: James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen
Director: Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen

When this was announced to be released, I knew I had to see it. I'm willing to bet a lot of people had to see it too because I caught one of the night's earlier show times and the entire theater was packed. I'm not a big fan of dirty humor, but with this cast, I knew what kind of material I'd be expecting. It certainly did not disappoint, even when conforming to the apocalyptic craze. In fact, it helped with their whole comedic craze. I'd say this now: the entire movie was entertaining! It had a ton of laughs and the chemistry of the cast was stupendous. I left the cinema with people who were applauding (the applauding part annoys me in theaters, sorry) and definitely were satisfied with what they saw.

Oz the Great and Powerful

Cast: James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis

Director: Sam Raimi

The Wizard of Oz is a classic, and frankly, is placed into so much watch lists. I do admit, it is certainly a must watch. It’s not insane to try to reboot the movie by showing a prequel, and hopefully if all things work out, would probably receive a remake of the original film. While Oz achieves the prequel to give light to the origins of the great wizard and the wizard of the west, it does not do it in the same light as the original film.
