OZ the Great and powerful Review:
Last weekend I went with a couple friends to see "OZ The Great and Powerful", so here's my two cents.
(I'm going to try not to have too many spoilers)
The movie is about A man named Oz (James Franco) who un-intentionally travels to the land of Oz where everyone thinks he is the great wizard that is supposed to save them from the Wicked Witch's evil reign. It's light-hearted and funny, making it appealing to the 9-13 age group, but some elements and characters may be a bit frightening to that audience as well. So I'm not sure what crowd Disney was gunning for. The film goes from black and white to color which I am not a fan of, but it's only in the beginning and doesn't last long. It's a fast-paced adventure and the story quickly develops. The acting wasn't fantastic and some parts seemed a little corny but it was still enjoyable. Awesome graphics and stunning visuals make it very immersive and they drop little hints to the Wizard of Oz movie which makes it a cool prequel. Overall I give the movie a solid 6/10.

Looper Review:
Saw Looper so here are my two cents.
(as always I'll try not to have too many spoilers)
GREAT MOVIE! Looper is an action-packed adventure that takes an assassin (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who kills people that are sent to him from the future and tests his heart when he has to choose between a life that he's always wanted and saving a relationship that could literally save lives. I'll admit the movie does seem to drag a bit in the beginning but its totally worth it. It has a very surprising ending that I love! Overall I give the movie an 8/10.
