Sparkle (2012)
One of the best of the year
I absolutely loved this movie. All the actors did a great job. What a great way for Whitney to end her career with a such a beautiful project. She did a wonderful job. The story has a lot of differences from the original, but I loved these changes. I actually think this movie is superior to the original in many ways. The highlight for me was to see Whitney singing her gospel song, probably the best song performance ever captured in a movie. I read some people complain that the movie is different from the original, and I ask everyone what would be the point to copy the first movie? It would be boring. I actually find the remake more satisfying. In the first movie, the roles of the mother and also Dolores were almost non-existent, also the lighting and editing were bad. Also it was a very sad film, and while in the remake they still have sadness, it's actually more uplifting. This movie improves on everything. I'm actually planning on seeing it again.
The Bodyguard (1992)
Romance, thrills, comedy, action, music. The Bodyguard has it all.
The Bodyguard starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston is one of the most successful movies of all-time, grossing over 410 million dollars worldwide. Why? There are several reasons:
First of all, the chemistry between Kevin and Whitney is great. Whenever they are on screen, you can't take your eyes off them. They are very talented and very attractive.
Second, the music in this movie is incredible. Whitney's voice soars on ballads like I Have Nothing and I Will Always Love You, and she brings down the house with the rocky Queen of the Night. No wonder that the soundtrack is the biggest selling soundtrack of all-time (37 million copies sold worldwide).
Third, the story is fun and the characters are well developed. There are so many funny one liners in this movie, I don't know where to start. There's plenty of romance for the girls and plenty of action/suspense for the guys. The Bodyguard is a classic. Highly recommended.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Wow
This movie lived up to my VERY high expectations. It's very well done, great special effects and action scenes, very entertaining, very good characters and it moves at a very good pace. To me, it had everything. I rented it and now I will definitely buy it.
I'm especially happy that it didn't turn out to be a cheesy movie like Independence Day, or a stupid idiotic movie like Armageddon. Personally, I found The Day After Tomorrow to be perfect. It was serious, meaning there weren't moments like "Will Smith lighting a cigar and acting like some cool tough guy in the face of immense danger". Here, the people take everything seriously. Also, the acting is solid, unlike for example Godzilla were the acting was ridiculous. The special effects are out of this world, with the exception of the cgi wolves that could have been better. But otherwise, I am very happy and relieved how the movie turned out. Highly recommended.
P.S: It's also by far the best disaster movie that I've seen. It's up there with my other favorite movies (Jurassic Park trilogy, The Mummy (1999), Pirates of the Caribbean, Planet of the Apes (1968), to name a few...)
