The A Team

This movie was everything that an action movie should be. It was fast paced, full of good explosions, and hilarious moments that made you go hummm. This is a must see in the theater as I would hate for you to miss all the action it has to offer. Truth be told I preferred The Losers. My one complaint about this movie was that sometimes the action moved faster than my eyes were able to follow. But yes this is a go see, not a must see though.

Jonah Hex

Okay I am not the biggest Megan Fox fan, and though it appeared like sometimes her accent made me imagine nails scraping across a chalk board I have to admit she did a damn fine job. She is not an academy award kind of actress but she played it well enough. Josh Brolin really did Hex to life and though the action and story line were great, the movie was kind of short, just topping over an hour. It probably isn't worth going to see in the theater, you might as well save your cash and rent it on DVD.

Cyrus

This movie was comedic genius. Even if it was bad I would tell you to go and see it, because the more of these independent type movies people go see the less big budget remakes that end up coming out like crap will be released. John C. Reilly played the part effortlessly and he reminded me of a friend, the friend everyone has, who just can't seem to get it together. Marisa Tomei was amazing, but does that woman never age?! Go and see it, it is worth the exorbitant cost to go see it in the theater.

Twilight Eclipse

Okay I am totally biased when it comes to this movie! I loved it! If you saw the first two then you have to go and see the third one in the installment. Where the second one let me down and made me think we just needed to see it to get on with the story and make it to the end. The fight scenes were awesome and the whole cast did a bang up job.

Killers

So overall this movie was pretty good. It was funny! But I have to say Katherine Heigl played the exact same character as she always plays, and I for one am getting a little tired of it. Where is the depth? As for Ashton Kuthcer, the man has finally become a MAN! I think before he was just too skinny and just too young to really pull off the hot lead character. But his timing was perfect. And I now look forward to seeing him as leading man both in action and in romantic comedies going forward. As for the rest of the cast, it was good to see Tom Selleck back in action, he totally played the crazy controlling dad like no one else. Catherine O'Hara was a a bright star with her comedic timing, throughout the whole movie. So to bottom line it, do you need to see this in the theater? No, you might as well wait for it on dvd that way you have time to pause and count all of Ashton's abbs because those were worth more than a thousand words.

Sex and the City 2

Let me preface this by saying, that the clothes were lovely. The jewelry was all that I will never be able to afford or lift my hand or finger while wearing it. Every man in this movie had abs that would make my bedside table look saggy. And could hang a coat on each of their individual ass cheeks. With all that being said.... the story line SUCKED!!! They strayed too far away from the concept of the original Sex and the City. If it had been called anything else this movie would have gone straight to dvd. I as a true fan of the show expected this to be a check in on what my favorite girls in New York were doing. Instead it played in to every stereo type possible, and played upon all the generalities that the ladies have been labeled with over the years. So the sad fact of this is that you can wait for the dvd and you can wait until it is past the New Rentals section when you see it. Who knows seeing this might tarnish the image of the girls that we all know and love forever. I just wish they would have given me what I had missed, but I guess Mr King forgot how to do it, at least with these girls...

Just Wright

FINALLY!!! A leading lady that looks like a real person not a stick figure! I thought this movie was great. As it showcased my very own life. Always a friend never a girlfriend, and we also seem to keep sticking up for the liars. As is so aptly shown by this movie. Queen Latifah was wonderful, her comedic timing, and good girl acting really made this movie what it was. Common on the other hand I think was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that they gave him the part. His line delivery at most times was stiff. His joke making lacked proper timing. His kissing scenes were good but that was probably because he had his lips pressed up to Queen Latifah's. In any case this movie is totally worth going to see whether in the movie theater or at home on your couch it is always nice to see someone resembling a normal person on the screen so it should be something we support. Might I also add that this is the first movie other than the Tyler Perry Why Did I Get Married series with a predominantly black cast.
