The Duff:
Summary: Frumpy high-school senior Bianca (Mae Whitman) has a rude awakening when she learns that her classmates secretly know her as the DUFF -- designated ugly fat friend -- to her prettier and more popular pals. Desperate to reinvent herself, Bianca enlists the aid of Wesley (Robbie Amell), a charming jock. In order to save her senior year from becoming a complete disaster, Bianca must find the confidence to overthrow a judgmental student (Bella Thorne) and revolutionize the school's social order.
Review: This was a fun movie. I thought it was about some high schoolers being stupid. There was a nice message to the movie but it was serious one. They played in a light that showed that you could be your own person and didn't have to be like anyone else. The movie was kept fun with jokes so it wasn't a downer. Good movie to watch with kids.

The Great Gatsby
Summary: Midwest native Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) arrives in 1922 New York in search of the American dream. Nick, a would-be writer, moves in next-door to millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) and across the bay from his cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her philandering husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton). Thus, Nick becomes drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy and -- as he bears witness to their illusions and deceits -- pens a tale of impossible love, dreams, and tragedy.
Review: I liked this movie a lot. It was visually pleasing. But I HATE DAISY!! She is a useless bitch. She killed a chick and then let everyone believe that it was Gatsby. She acted like she loved but went back to Tom and his money. It did get a little weird when he flipped between the hospital and the story. I thought I would not like the use of rap but it fit really fell it help show the meaning of the movie.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Summary: Brash space adventurer Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) finds himself the quarry of relentless bounty hunters after he steals an orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain.

But when he discovers the orb's true power and the cosmic threat it poses, Quill must rally his ragtag group to save the universe.
