I mean, Gerard Butler isn't bad to look at, but this movie wasn't anything that special.
This movie a man who loses his family, wife and daughter, in a home evasion. They're killed in front of him, brutal way to start the movie really. The story moves on to follow the man watching the trials of the killers, one is let go and one is going to be killed.. He doesn't like this so he obviously takes the situation into his own hands.
This movie has some good action scenes, blowing up, people getting killed by cell phones... He kills people while he's locked up in solitary confinement, I mean that's pretty intense.
I wouldn't really recommend this movie if you're looking for something to deep, but the story is easy to follow and visually pretty cool.

Sherlock Holmes

I wasn't expecting something new or original, just something that would hold my interest and make me laugh. This movie did just that.
If you don't know the story of this movie, you got a drug addict of a detective who has a best bud named Dr. Watson who helps the police solve crimes that otherwise had them stumped. His love interest is also a crook, oh the irony.
I don't really have much to say about this movie, I recommend it if you want to see a movie and be entertained. I wouldn't recommend it if you are wanting it to be mind altering.
Nine

I didn't know much about this movie going into it, but I did know that it had an all star cast of babes and some singing. I saw this movie with my mother and I have to say, it was very excellent.
This movie is the story of Italian director Guido Contini who has made 6 world famous movies and 2 major flops is trying to make his 9th film, with a life full of sex and infidelity he struggles with trying to keep everything together and to make a comeback. Along the way the women that have molded Guido's life come to him in song form. When his wife finally has enough, you see Guido slowly start to realize what he's losing.
There is some singing, some laughs, some sad moments and a lot of scantily clad women in this movie.
Highly Recommended
Did You Hear About the Morgans?
Posted by kp at 10:42 PM Labels: hugh grant, not recommended, sam elliott, Sarah Jessica Parker 0 commentsIf I was to ever get in trouble for sneaking into movies, I could only blame my mother. After seeing Nine with my mother, we snuck into Did You Hear About The Morgans? It was everything you probably think it would be
it's a classic tale really, couple who is on the outs, finally ready to get a divorce and they witness a crime, have to go into witness protection and then obviously fall back in love. come on, if that really spoiled it for you, then you probably don't see that many movies. I'd have to say my favorite person in the movie is Sam Elliott (the stranger in the big lebowski)
I'm not a huge Hugh Grant fan, and I don't mind SJP, this movie didn't bother me, and I wouldn't say I loved it. I never have to see this movie again, and really, if I wouldn't have snuck in with my mom, I more than likely wouldn't have seen it at all.
not recommended.
Precious
Posted by kp at 10:23 PM Labels: decent, drama, Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe, mariah carey, Mo'Nique 0 commentsIf you haven't heard about this movie, you probably live under a rock...
This movie is obviously depressing, we have an overweight young girl living with her alcoholic/abusive mother, who has been raped by her father and then having two of his kids. Teachers just pass her so that no one has to deal with her. She starts going to another school and meets a teacher that has faith in her and the rest of the delinquent girls in her class.... slightly Dangerous Minds-esqe.
Although this movie is winning tons of awards and highly acclaimed, I didn't come away with feeling that this movie would make my top ten of the year.
After seeing Precious, I don't feel like I ever need to see it again, it sorta knocks the wind out of you, kicks you in the shin and spits in your face... and that's how Mariah Carey looks in the movie.
I would recommend you to see this movie if you're looking to be depressed
