New Website/Blog

I have updated my movie blog to a new website! Woohoo! I have also changed the name of my blog to:

MOVIE MUGGLE

It is no longer Megan's Movie Reviews. I tried finding a URL that was MegansMovies.com but... it was unavailable. So, I chose something else! I am a Harry Potter nut/fan/nerd and I thought this was rather catchy. Please go to this new URL for all of my updated posts and that is where you can leave movie reviews. Thanks for all of your fun support and reviews!

X-Men: The Last Stand

Stars:
4 stars

Take a Stand.

It has been several months since The X-Men stopped William Stryker, but that victory came at a price, they have lost Jean Gray when she tried to save them from the collapsed reservoir. Scott Summers (Cyclops) is still grieving about her loss. One day, he came out to the place which is where Jean Gray sacrificed herself. Then, Jean Gray appeared right in front of him. Though, it seemed that after that, Scott had disappeared. Meanwhille, the rift between humans and mutants had finally reached the boiling point. When humans discovered what causes humans to mutate, they have found a cure for the mutation. The X-Men were appalled at this idea. It was not long at all until the news about the cure came to Magneto. He decides to organize an army of mutants and wage his war against the humans. Then, it became clear that Jean Gray evolved into the Pheonix, her new mutant powers are so strong that she can not control her own body... (Source: IMDB)

Megan's Movie Review:
I really liked this movie. It was pretty intense and there were some things in this movie that I didn't expect to happen when I first saw it. For instance, *Spoiler* that the Professor died pretty early in the movie, and also Scott. I had never watched the cartoons so I didn't know that Jean was evil or that she was alive. I had hoped that she was alive, but I didn't expect her to turn crazy evil. I felt so bad for Angel when he was a child (the kid with the wings). How sad that he felt like he needed to try and cut off his wings. It was horrible. Maybe I'm more sympathetic towards kids now because I now have a child of my own. I just can't imagine my child having to say sorry for something they can't control. (This is how you know I get way too into my movies lol). Wolverine is my favorite, of course, but I really liked Beast. He was awesome and super cool! So at the end of the movie, do you think that Magneto still had his powers or that they were coming back to him? I kind of think that the cure eventually wears off and that they can get their powers back. Like I said, I never watched the cartoons so I have no idea if this even happened in the cartoons. The fight scenes in the movie were great and I loved the battle at the end. Very good movie.

What do you all think about it?

The Switch

Stars:
3 3/4 stars

The most unexpected comedy ever conceived.

Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) and Wally (Jason Bateman) are best friends. Being unlucky in love, Kassie has decided to have a child using artificial insemination. Wally doesn't like this idea, but he isn't capable of admitting to himself, let alone to Kassie, that he's in love with her. At Kassie's artificial insemination party, Wally gets very drunk and spies the sperm donor's sample in the bathroom. Wally was way too drunk to know what he did that night, and Kassie has moved away because she doesn't feel that New York City is a place to raise a child. Now 7 years later, Kassie has moved back with her son Sebastian. While she is looking to get Roland (the sperm donor) more involved in their lives, Wally can't help but notice the many striking similarities that he and Sebastian share. (Source: IMDB)

Megan's Movie Review:
Okay. So this movie was interesting. I didn't appreciate the sexual comments in the movie or how he donated his sperm to her. It was weird and dumb and we ended up fast forwarding through that part of the movie. I would say that this isn't for kids and adults only. Anyways, so the kid in this movie was so adorable. I just loved him! I know that you might think this is crazy, but my favorite part of the movie was when he had to take care of the boy and help him get rid of his lice. It sounds gross, but it was really sweet in the movie. He knew it was his son, but he hadn't told her yet, and he was being a real dad. It was just so cute. It did make me sad when the boy got beat up by these kids at school. But I really liked how he showed up at Wally's house. And I did like the part where they went to the zoo and they were looking at the penguins. Their conversation was cute. The ending was almost perfect. I was hoping that she would be pregnant again.

Comments please.
