Despite the CO tragedy my brother-in-law and I went to see this. One word: epic!
I sat down and watched "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight." This movie accompanying this really made its mark. Yes it's a combo of the two...it's even Batman Begins in reverse, but still the movie works on so many levels.
Once again I have to eat my words...Anne Hathaway was incredible. Why? Because she wasn't CATWOMAN (in fact they never call her that throughout the movie) she was Selina Kyle a cat burglar. I believed Anne as Selina. Catwoman aka Michelle Pfeiffer cannot be redone. She was an amazing Catwoman and I loved loved loved her in the role. Thankfully that wasn't Anne's play. There wasn't a cat in sight either.
Being a closet cartoon geek the movie was a combo of Batman the Animated Series and the Comic. I remember a specific scene in the comic that nerds will LOVE seeing (shhhh). But overall loved the movie, will buy it when it comes out.
At almost three hours long the only time it dragged was the last half hour. That's when I realized my butt was falling asleep will this end? Some plot twists and turns, but if you haven't seen the first two I implore you to do so. They all tie in together and it makes much more sense. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen...despite your fears.
This is one movie I thought was STUPID! I did not go to see it in theaters, and was reluctant to watch it on DVD. Joked this shoulda been called JUST-In Time...and I was wrong!
This movie was innovative and fun! This is a world in which money is no longer existing...its time. Time on yoru life. Numbers on your arm tell you how much time you have left. The average person is born with 25 years. Once you reach 25 either your clock stops OR you can borrow from others. Even gambling is with time.
Rent this one if you like action/drama/romance. The love story is small but good. Whatever plot holes I'm not putting my shovel to dig that deep. I like the movie and the concept and it even made over $100m worldwide :)
I'll be honest I didn not wanna watch this. A movie about two spy best friends whom happen to fall for the same girl then practically destroy each other fighting over her? I'm all about bros before hos, or chicks before d*cks so I was turned off.
Then I decided "this is a comedy relax." So I watched it and enjoyed seeing these two guys fight over her. It was good and has a "bow" ending. Personally I feel she made the wrong choice, but I get it.
Worth seeing but don't expect HUGE surprises. Chelsea Handler was hilarious!
Yes I know subtitles are bad. You wanna go to a movie and watch not read, but coming from a lover of movies (subtitles are not) this was one of my favorite...mostly because it was SO tragic!
The story is about David's parents Diego and Shari (whom have a strange Kourtney Kardashian/Scott Disick type relationship) taking holiday (that's what Europeans call vacationing) in Italy. They ask their married friends Matteo and Francesca to join. While there Shari's brother Leonard visits as well as David, whom is a US model/college student.
The crux of the movie is that Matteo's gradual romantic feelings for David. They set it up perfectly as Matteo isn't gay nor has he seen David in MANY years, but when he does there's an explosion that occurs of emotion, tragedy, and not even necessarily romance.
Of all the remakes Hollywood has done this would be an amazing one to do. Here's hoping they smarten up :)
Typically I dislike the genre of "black comedy" because it's too stereotypical especially Madea. I did see Madea Goes to Jail and hated it. But loved her character in "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" ALOT! She was funny and tough on people that needed it. The same goes for this movie.
The premise is DA Brian (Tyler Perry) who's Joe's son (Madea's brother also played by Tyler Perry) needs a place to store his witness pre-trial and what better place than with his Aunt Madea? My favorite line is from the trailer...Boy (wakes up staring at Madea): You look like a giant bag of skittles. Madea: Well if you don't move yo butt off this couch you gonna taste the rainbow!
Love quick wit and humor. Clearly this line was set up cuz she wasn't colorfully dressed, but that's something I myself would say to someone if they called me Skittles haha The storyline, acting, and production values made this one black comedy I love :)
The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe was actually pretty good. It was like watching another installment of Harry Potter to be quite honest. Think Harry Potter grows up and is trying to find the mystery as to why kids are randomly killing themselves.
This movie was entertaining and sometimes a bit confusing but the minute you get a little confused a scene will pick up to explain it.
All in all I recommend...if you're a fan of Harry Potter. I know that sounds weird but once you see it you'll understand.
Colin Farrell as a vampire sounds hot right? Sure he's got a bad rap for being a player, but he's still sexy to look at. The vampire that Colin Farrell portrays is in no relation to Edward Cullen that's for sure. Of course his human form is still sexy as hell haha
The storyline is not bad. Keeps you guessing the entire time. My only caveat is how dark the lighting is. I know it's a vampire horror movie but I had to squint a few times to see what was going on in a scene. The acting is good as well.
Check it out. It's not amazing but not horrible either!
I did not want to like this movie. In fact going into it I kept thinking how they can top the trilogy.
Well they proved me wrong. I liked the angst and didn't even mind Gwen Stacy being in the movie (Mary Jane Watson was his high school gf. He didn't meet Gwen till college AND she died).
The backstory of his father helped fill in gaps the original trilogy didn't. And they hooked me with Sally Field!!!! Love her.
My one complaint is how they handled Uncle Ben. I won't reveal any spoilers but I just thought it could've been done better.
All in all a good movie that I will buy on DVD :)
8 year old John Bennett wishes that his Teddy Bear nicknamed Ted would come to life and be his best friend. It happens and throughout their lives they remain best friends. They both grow up. Ted grows into a foulmouth pot smoking former 15-minute famer (the world knows about him) while John is a 35 year old normal guy trying to find his way but allows Ted to hold him back. Their friendship interferes with John's relationship with his girlfriend of 4 years.
The entire movie is exactly what it should be "a guy's guy comedy." Laughs abound. The ONLY part I thought in joking went too far was when Mark Wahlberg says to someone he hates "I hope you get Lou Gehrig's disease." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
On the plus side though if you watch the scene they discuss how John and his girlfriend met in a flashback club scene watch the waitress in the upper left corner of the screen. She walks down stairs and up to two patrons. One patron is a black guy with purple sweater...THAT'S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Playing no favorites I did like the movie though. Not something I'd see three times in the theater but definitely a good comedy.
