A fun and fast ride which has all of the gang chasing down Dom who went rogue for no reason(to them). Stunts are getting to be too over the top, but it is still a fun trip. Ending is begging for a sequel. Action scenes are very good and intense. Don't like that the franchise wants to keep killing characters that you love. Jason Statham was great as always with good performances by Vin Diesel and the Rock. I would recommend this movie and it adds to your collection of Fast and Furious.
3 movies which shows 2 strangers fall in love in Vienna, get reacquainted in Paris 7 years later and married life 7 years ago. What is amazing there are long stretches where there aren't any cuts and that you feel that you are actually there watching the drama unfold. It shows how chemistry is developed, how chemistry is reignited after a long time and how chemistry needs work to keep everything together. A must see for any romantic. Definitely Ethan Hawke's best performances. Julie Deply is amazing as the understated Celine. Love is real, just needs work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Duff is about the "ugly" girl with the popular friends. She is the approachable one who you can get the "scouting report" on her friends. The girl wants to be noticed by the "musical" kid and get tips on how to become more aggressive/talkative from her next door neighbor who happens to be the "hot QB" who needs help in chemistry. It is about being yourself. I would recommend the movie
Hansel and Gretel is a story of witch hunters who spend their lives killing witches. Action is good, but storyline/script is horrible. Hansel and Gretel become the hunted. Not recommended.
You either love him or hate him, Vince Vaughn. He was a little too much over the top in his acting and trying way too hard. The Dilemma is about 2 buddies who own a startup engine company. Kevin James seems to have the perfect relationship with Wynonna Ryder until Vince Vaughn catches her making out with a "strange man". Does he tell his best friend who is having health problems and dealing with the pressure to get a special motor out by a deadline. Jennifer Connelly is adorable and Wynonna Ryder puts on a solid performance. It is OK, but I would classify it as a Saturday movie which can wait until it hits network Saturday afternoon matinee. semi recommend if you are a Vince Vaughn fan.
A great twist on the Hercules myth. It is more important on the perception of your reputation than the actual reputation. Hercules and his band of mercenaries take a job to defend a corrupt kingdom. They are double crossed and work to correct the situation. Many interesting perceptions (i.e. perception of a boy to the legend of Hercules). Teamwork is stressed and the chemistry between the characters is EXCELLENT, if not magical. Pacing of the movie can be quickened, but good story line. Recommended especially if you like ancient folklore.
the second installment of this franchise. The group, minus Jon Cusack, go BACK TO THE FUTURE, to solve Rob Corddry's murder/shooting. The group stumbles across Jon Cusack's kid and runs around aimlessly to find clues to the shooting. Not very clever or interesting. Jon Cusack's son was useless. Many laughs, but not cohesive storyline. It is OK, but better off as a Saturday afternoon movie than a DVD in your collection. Only if you are a collector. Not much replay value.
A great movie which shows that things can be worse and be glad for your family. Sometimes timing and luck are only things that separates you from others. About a boy who wishes others can understand that his life is one "terrible" day after another. His family seems to have good luck and great lives. One day, each has a "bad day" or bad luck. A very funny movie and a great kids movie. Much better than expected and a movie which can be watched over and over. Teaches kids to appreciate their lives and how to walk in someone elses shoes. Very recommended.
Adam Sandler is a player who lies to women to hook up with them. He finally falls in love with Brooklyn Decker who is about 20 years younger than him. He has to lie about his wedding ring and gets his office manager, Jennifer Aniston to follow up on his lie. Jennifer and Adam have been friends forever and know each other inside and out. Her kids are apart of the lie and all end up going to Hawaii on vacation together as a "married but separated couple". Lots of funny things happen. Finally, Adam and Jennifer are meant to be together. Kids were fantastic, and the chemistry between Jennifer and Adam are good. My biggest problem with the movie was that Jennifer is too pretty and it really does not work. Someone like Melissa McCarthy or Emily Mortimer would have been better. Good solid date movie. A shocking surprise because i did not expect it to be this good. Came in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Recommended
A fun movie about a group of guys who vow not to get marries. They get a pool of money and the last man standing will get the money. As time goes by, one by one, people drop like flies until 2 people are left(Jerry O'Connell and Bussey). Jerry falls in love with Shannon Elizabeth(one of my favorites) and the struggle begins between love and money. Bussey tries his best to get Jerry to lose the bet. Very funny and a lost gem. Pacing is solid, but script can be better. Friends are goofy enough to be likable and Shannon Elizabeth is FANTASTIC in her role. Recommended.
