The Perfect Guy (2015)
"The Perfect Guy" a movie to make your entire body shiver with goosebumps.
"The Perfect Guy" a movie to make your entire body shiver with goosebumps. I would give this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. This movie is filled with action and suspense, but it is a bit predictable. A movie that makes every girl wish that she had a "perfect guy" in her life, but as all good things seem so right, most of the time, disaster is right around the corner.
Leah Vaughn (played by Sanaa Lathan) is a 36 year old lobbyist in L.A. Everything seemed to be in order until Leah decided to end things with her boyfriend, Dave (played by Morris Chestnut) after he tells her that he's not ready to get married and have children. After two months of being single, Leah meets a young man named Carter Duncan (played by Michael Early) and they hit it off right away. As time progresses, Carter continues to charm Leah and before she knows it, she believes that she has finally found the "perfect man" for herself. Little does she know, Carter is far from perfect.
During a night out, Lean and Carter are apart just for a few minutes before Carter spots another man talking to her and he becomes overly possessive. His possessiveness nearly lands the other guy in the hospital. As Leah witnesses this behavior from the man she thought so highly of, sh realizes that she wants nothing to do with him and she tries to end everything with him. Carter won't let her end the relationship and he ends up stalking her, which in turn leaves her scarred and seeking help from the police. After some unfortunate and very obsessive behavior, Leah is forced to place a restraining order against Carter, this angers him even more.
After some time, Leah ends up back with her ex. Carter isn't too thrilled with her choice and starts to sabotage her work and her relationships with others. He goes as far as to taking people's lives over his obsession with her. His actions cost Leah her happiness and before long, she is forced to take matters into her own hands. She decides to play into his games which later ends up paying off. As the movie comes to an end, Leah has finally won her battle with Carter, but in the entire process she has lost people she cared about.
This is a thrilling and an action filled movie with a predictable plot. A movie that will leave you at the edge of your seat with anticipation. I would rate this 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this movie to people who like thriller movies. This is a movie to remind you that there is no such thing as a "perfect guy".

There have been times where I have felt like I have wasted my money and time on seeing a movie. This was not the case when seeing "We Are Your Friends."
"We Are Your Friends" Movie Group Review
There have been times where I have felt like I have wasted my money and time on seeing a movie. This was not the case when seeing "We Are Your Friends." This movie should acquire 3.5 out of 5 stars for their excellent music choice and well organized plot. Any viewer could follow the plot easily, yet it was still complex enough to not get boring. I would suggest this movie to any viewer who enjoys EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and somewhat of an action movie. This is a movie that makes one question the society we live in and points out the daily events of everyone who tries to build a successful lifestyle, but ends up having setbacks.
From the previews that were advertised, "We Are Your Friends" looked scattered and without a set plot. After seeing a preview like that, not many people would have wanted to spend the money on seeing it or even take time out of their busy schedules. Surprisingly, this movie had other plans. This is a movie that is filled with drama, romance, and music.
The main character, Cole Carter (played by Zac Efron), is a simple young man who has a passion for music, but in specific, making electronic music. Due to not having a college degree and a set job, Cole is forced to make his living out of playing random "gigs" at nightclubs. All this changed when Cole met another DJ who took him under his wing and tried to help him build up his music skills. Everything was going smoothly until Cole chose selfishness over loyalty and has relations with his new friend and mentors girlfriend, ending his friendship with the other DJ.
Cole is then forced to make a living for himself, going back to playing his night gigs. One night, as he and his close set of friends were partying, his friend ended up using drugs and alcohol and he wound up dead. WIth this tragedy upon Cole and his friends, he is then faced to make a choice to continue to live the way he is living, or make something better out of himself. With the memory of his friend and his treasured DJing skills, Cole ends up making his one big hit track. Not only that, Cole ends up realizing that there is so much more to his life than what he has been settling for.
Seeing "We Are Your Friends" was well worth the time and money spent. I would definitely go see this again and would recommend it to all my friends who enjoy electronic music, a love story, and somewhat of an action movie. This movie should acquire 3.5 out of 5 stars for their music choice and well organized plot. The movie makes one realize that no matter what is put in their path of success, with determination, they can battle through their setbacks. Everyone has the chance to make themselves better, when a person takes that chance, that is when they build success.
