Top 5 Thursday: Movies I Watched for My Challenge (July 2015)

I didn’t see a lot of new ones this month, but I did see lots of great movies this month, so let’s get into it. (I’m sharing it today, because tomorrow I’m going away for a couple of weeks. I wanted to get this top 5 out before I left).

5. Terminator Genisys
The long awaited sequel (or prequel, or reboot… lots of messing with timelines) and it was especially a lot of fun because of the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I read a lot of bad reviews, but I really liked it.
 
 
4. Paddington
What a sweet movie. I remember the stories of Paddington when I was a kid and it was quite nice to see him come to life in a movie.
 
 
3. Ruby Sparks
I like unconventional love stories, and “Ruby Sparks” definitely is one. From the makers of “Little Miss Sunshine” so you know what you can expect. Well, actually you don't because it's a pretty strange story.
 
 
2. John Wick
Totally unexpected, but this movie was seriously awesome. Anyone who still says Keanu Reeves can’t act, please watch “John Wick”. So kick-ass!
 
 
1. Inside Out
Surprise, surprise, a Pixar movie is number one! “Inside Out” is so much fun and it’s very original. All the emotions where just great, I think sadness was my favorite of them all. People with kids, go see it! People with no kids, also go so it!

100 Movie Challenge 2015 - # 88: Paddington

Director: Paul King
Genre: Comedy/ Family
Runtime: 95 minutes
Year: 2014
Starring: Ben Wishaw, Imelda Staunton, Michael Gambon, Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walter, Nicole Kidman, Jim Broadbent, Matt Lucas

Description: A young Peruvian bear (Ben Wishaw) travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he meets the kindly Brown family, who offer him a temporary haven.

Review: A movie about a talking bear. Is it like “Ted”? NO! “Paddington” is a family film, based on the stories of Michael Bond.
Paddington is a young Peruvian bear, who travels to London. He is taken in by the Brown family. Paddington is ready for a new adventure, but there is also a woman after him to put him in a museum.
The story follows the classic good versus bad routine, but this works especially for the younger viewers. The movie has great (visual) humor and a very strong cast. And Paddington bear himself looks amazing and recognizable.
“Paddington” is a real fun family film. It’s heartwarming, funny, adventurous and entertaining. It’s really worth every minute of your time.

Rating: 4/ 5
