- Sucker Punch is an action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary.
- This is one of the biggest train wrecks I've ever sat through from beginning to end. Seriously. I saw this with WW and one of my best friends (that's right - I said it, guy) and we were about 30 minutes in where we all turned to each other and said "what the hell is going on". From that point on we did nothing but laugh at the absurdity of this movie. Apprantly, Baby Doll has magical dancing powers that when she dances it puts everyone in a trance and her and her overly makeup faced, tight clothes wearing posse can go to battle in some weird ass worlds to obtain the things necessary to escape. Following me? It gets better. To get advice from Scott Glenn (who I never noticed how much he looks like a short haired David Carradine) on how to get out she had to do battle with three Kung Fu Pandas in Pinnochio formIn order to get the map, they have to battle a squad of zombie nazis led by Freddy Krueger. In order to get fire they had to battle the orcs from Lord Of The Rings. I'm pretty sure I saw Legolas and Gimli in there. Seriously. This all happened. It was great visually like all of Zack Snyder's movies are, but that was really about it. Correction, I have to admit I was enjoying the covers of a bunch of songs throughout the movie. But now that's really it.
- I would definitely not recommend people checking this out. Again, I would have bailed if it wasn't for the three of us laughing so hard at the movie. Its just a bunch of brain farts thrown up on the screen for 14 year old boys. No substance at all.
- Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has it all - looks, intelligence, wealth and opportunity - and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating "aggressively unattractive" classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the school's extravagant environmental bash. Kendra accepts, and, true to form, Kyle blows her off in a particularly savage fashion. She retaliates by casting a spell that physically transforms him into everything he despises. Enraged by his horrible and unrecognizable appearance he confronts Kendra and learns that the only solution to the curse is to find someone that will love him as he is - a task he considers impossible. Repulsed by his appearance, Kyle's callous father banishes him to Brooklyn with a sympathetic housekeeper and blind tutor. As Kyle ponders how to overcome the curse and get his old life back, he chances upon a drug addict in the act of killing a threatening dealer. Seizing the opportunity, Kyle promises the addict freedom and safety for his daughter, Lindy (Vanessa Hudgens) if she will consent to live in Kyle's Brooklyn home.
- This is really lame retelling of Beauty & The Beast. The acting is just as atrocious as you would expect. Whoever took the time to actually "write" this should be shot. The movie is super short but feels long as hell. The only reason I was remotely able to enjoy this is how hard we were all laughing at how bad the movie was.
- I wouldn't recommend anyone wasting their time with this. It's not worth your time at all . . . . . unless you and a group of friends get the same level of enjoyment out of laughing at garbage like we did.
- Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman star in this supernatural action adventure about a heroic Crusader and his closest friend who return home after decades of fierce fighting, only to find their world destroyed by the Plague. The church elders, convinced that a girl accused of being a witch is responsible for the devastation, command the two to transport the strange girl to a remote monastery where monks will perform an ancient ritual to rid the land of her curse. They embark on a harrowing, action-filled journey that will test their strength and courage as they discover the girl's dark secret and find themselves battling a terrifyingly powerful force that will determine the fate of the world.
- Bla bla bla goes the plot bio of this movie. This movie is a textbook January release. Its release has been pushed back numerous times. It has one little hook of medieval times/witchcraft. It stars Nicolas Cage. Seriously, this guy's movies are made for either January or September. I expected very little going in to this movie and I got exactly that. I figured it would be garbage and it pretty much was.
- I wouldn't recommend anyone wasting their time with this. The action is lame. The story is fast forwarded and forced. The acting is par level with the rest of Nicolas Cage movies. You were warned.
- The Warrior's Way is a modern martial arts western starring Korean actor Dong-gun Jang who plays an Asian warrior assassin forced to hide in a small town in the American Badlands.
- I have always been a big fan of Kung Fu movies. Usually I don't care about the story. I just want to see some bad a$$ fights and I'll be good. I accept them for what they are and manage to enjoy them. That being said, I have no clue what the hell this giant piece of garbage was. There are actual actors in this giant turd. It was sooooooooooooooo bad. The only good part was that there was a midget somehow involved but at the risk of spoiling a movie that nobody cares about - they kill the f'n midget!!! That's right up there with harming animals in movies for me. That's just not necessary!!!
- I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. Ever. I have not the slightest clue why crap like this gets made . . . . . . . or released.
- On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)--a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself--the men of The Adjustment Bureau--who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path...or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her.
- I really liked this movie. It's more of a love story than the conspiracy/action stuff they advertised, but the love story has a big enough hook to keep you interested. The actual adjustment bureau part of the story is great and the thought of us all being watched so we stay on the right track is beyond intriguing. Really makes you think . . . . . . and kind of makes me want to kick the guy's ass that has been pulling my strings for the the last year or so.
- I would definitely recommend people checking this one out. Again - don't expect a whole lot of action and what not. It really does end up being a love story with faith undertones.
- In this sequel to 2010's surprise hit, Greg Heffley, the kid who made "wimpy" cool is back in an all-new family comedy based on the best-selling follow-up novel by Jeff Kinney. As he begins seventh grade, Greg and his older brother - and chief tormentor - Rodrick must deal with their parents' misguided attempts to have them bond.
- I loved this movie just as much as the first one and all of the books. This is a throwback to those awesome fun family movies from back in the day. Very simple lesson (get along with your siblings) . . . . . very funny situations . . . . . . enjoyable side characters . . . . . . . morals . . . . . . I really wish that there were more of these kinds of movies instead of millions of awkward moments with your kid sitting next to you at a "family" film. This is just basic enjoyment on a very simple level and I look forward to the rest of the books being turned in to movies.
- I would definitely recommend people checking this out. Its short, simple, fun, and awesome for all families.
- In 140 AD, two men - master and slave - venture beyond the edge of the known world on a dangerous and obsessive quest that will push them beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, deceit and heroism. 20 years earlier, Rome's 5,000-strong Ninth Legion, under the command of Flavius Aquila, marched north carrying their treasured golden Eagle emblem. They never returned; Legion and Eagle simply vanished into the mists. Hearing a rumor that the Eagle has been seen in a tribal temple in the far north, Flavius' son Marcus (Tatum), determined to restore the tarnished reputation of his father, is galvanized into action. Accompanied only by his slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out into the vast and dangerous highlands of Scotland - to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father's memory, and retrieve the hallowed Eagle.
- See now from that plot description, you would expect a pretty good Roman empire type of movie. And for the record - this movie could have actually been really bada$$. However, they decided to target an audience of 17 year old girls by casting Channing Tatum. I actually could have possibly accepted him in this role. However, since they were targeting teenage girls, they had to make it rated PG-13. So this led to a whole bunch of awesome fights where nothing was ever shown. And a whole bunch of dialogue that was right out of Twilight instead of ancient Rome. Therefore, unless you are a teenage girl with a big crush on Channing Tatum - this movie that could have been awesome is basically poop.
- I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering to see this except for the aforementioned teenage girls. Its pretty painful to be honest.
- To call insurance agent Tim Lippe (Ed Helms), "naive" is a gross understatement. He's never left his small hometown. He's never stayed at a hotel. And he's never experienced anything like Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sent to represent his company at the annual insurance convention, Tim is soon distracted by three convention veterans (John C. Reilly, Anne Heche and Isiah Whitlock Jr.) who will show him the ropes and push his boundaries. For a guy who plays everything by the book, this convention will be anything but conventional.
- This is one of those artsy comedies. Overall, it's completely pointless, but there are some one liners and scenes that do make you laugh. John C Reilly is his usual self and I'm a big fan of Ed Helms but was kind of put off by how straight laced he was. Isiah Whitlock Jr completely stole the show honestly.
- I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. Its not a must see by any means. Its super short and there are some good laughs.
- Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (January Jones) suddenly doesn't recognize him and another man (Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired and on the run. Aided by an unlikely ally (Diane Kruger), Martin plunges headlong into a deadly mystery that will force him to question his sanity, his identity, and just how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth.
- When did Liam Nesson become such a believable bada$$? I'm still reeling from Taken last year and here comes another slice from a very similar pie. This movie is a great suspense thriller. You find yourself completely tuned in the entire time wanting to know where the story is going. It doesn't pull up lame at the end. Great action throughout. It's a really fun and smart ride.
- I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out. It's smart, fun, action packed and you won't be disappointed.
- For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world's great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered before.
- The action invasion part of this movie was awesome. Even though it seems like they always kept the aliens kind of blurry because I guess that would have cost too much money to enhance, the fight scenes were intense and kept you totally into what was going on. Unfortunately, the spots with no action were just plain brutal. There really was no story. The movie stared off mid battle and then went back 24 hours so they could say how they got to that point. They tried to develop a bunch of characters that you just don't care about and beat the living hell out of a ridiculously lame plotline that the staff seargant apparantly got soldiers killed on a previous mission. They should have just kept the movie down to a random alien invasion with as little talking as possible and a 90 minute running time. Instead it's 2 hours 15 minutes of decent action and pointless fluff that really takes away from it.
- I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. Again - the action is bada$$ but the rest of the movie is incredibly lame.
- Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) is a young woman torn between two men. She is in love with a brooding outsider Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie's older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, offering the creature a monthly animal sacrifice. But under a blood red moon, the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them. As the death toll rises with each moon, Valerie begins to suspect that the werewolf could be someone she loves. Panic grips the town as Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast--one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect...and bait.
- This was literally Twilight inside the Red Riding Hood story. Same acting. Same cinematography. Same storyline. The guy that played Bella's dad in Twilight also plays Red Riding Hood's father. It felt like a spinoff. I was actually expecting a vampire to show up and fight the werewolf for Red Riding Hood's love. I get it. It is what it is. There's a built in core audience for this so why not make it. The one thing I can't figure out for the life of me is why in the blue hell Gary Oldman was in this. Is there really nothing else out there for this phenomenal actor? So sad.
- I would only recommend this movie to the Twilight crowd. Honestly, anyone else will see it as a total fluff piece not worth your time.
- Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are best friends who have a lot in common, including the fact that they have each been married for many years. But when the two men begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalizing their marriages: granting them a "hall pass," one week of freedom to do whatever they want...no questions asked. At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred. But it isn't long before they discover that their expectations of the single life--and themselves--are completely, and hilariously, out of sync with reality.
- This movie had some good laughs. I think I just wanted/expected more. It wasn't necessarily bad. I just think it could have been much better. You pretty much have seen the movie just by watching the trailer. And of course there are two textbook Farrely Brother moments where they have to completely blow your mind with the "did that just happen" moments. I saw the second one kind of coming and still wanted to die after watching it.
- I would lukewarmly recommend people checking this out. Its not as funny as it could have been but not the biggest waste of time for you either.
- Big Momma is back - and this time he has big backup: his teenage stepson Trent (Brandon T. Jackson). Martin Lawrence returns as FBI agent Malcolm Turner and as Turner's deep-cover alter-ego Big Momma. Turner is joined by Trent, as they go undercover at an all-girls performing arts school after Trent witnesses a murder. Posing as Big Momma and as hefty coed Charmaine, they must find the murderer before he finds them.
- Is this seriously a movie franchise now? This has to be one of the most insulting things Hollywood has ever churned out. There are three of these!?! Don't get me wrong, I admittedly enjoyed the first one. I figured that there would be a second one. But a third? There is now a Big Momma trilogy? Really starting to believe in that 2012 end of the world stuff.
- Would I recommend people seeing it? OF COURSE NOT!!! Its the same story with two guys dressing up as women. I laughed once.
- Fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross's (Hailee Steinfeld) father has been shot in cold blood by the coward Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), and she is determined to bring him to justice. Enlisting the help of a trigger-happy, drunken U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), she sets out with him -- over his objections -- to hunt down Chaney. Her father's blood demands that she pursue the criminal into Indian territory and find him before a Texas Ranger named LeBoeuf (Matt Damon) catches him and brings him back to Texas for the murder of another man.
- This was yet another of those movies where I loved the performances but wasn't nearly as thrilled with the movie as a whole. There have been so many of them this year. Jeff Bridges was awesome and the Hailee Steinfeld kid was amazing. It was a little bit rough at first because to be honest, I don't really speak "Western". It was kind of a foreign language for a while there before they got off on their mission. The story dragged at parts and was just kind of there at others, but the performances made me really like the movie. Not sure if that makes sense because I'm kind of baffled by it myself.
- I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out simply for the acting. I don't think it's nearly as good of a complete movie as everyone has made it out to be but the acting was great across the board.
- In Just Go With It, a plastic surgeon, romancing a much younger schoolteacher, enlists his loyal assistant to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife, in order to cover up a careless lie. When more lies backfire, the assistant's kids become involved, and everyone heads off for a weekend in Hawaii that will change all their lives.
- I am in total and complete shock at how much I loved this movie. At this point, Adam Sandler movies are all the same. At this point, Jennifer Aniston is the biggest sham of all the actresses because she really has done NOTHING outside of Friends except get dumped by Brad Pitt and milk the living $hit out that. However, this movie trumped both of those things. This was easily the best Adam Sandler movie since his early ones. I still consider Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy to be classic comedies but it grew very old since then. I enjoyed 50 First Dates a couple of years ago but even that seemed a little forced. This one didn't. I laughed my a$$ off. He was great. She was great. Their chemistry and playing off of each other was great. The kids were great. Shocking. Totally shocking.
- I never thought I would say this, but I fully recommend that everyone check this one out. It is easily the funniest movie to come out in a long time and you find yourself rooting for the desired outcome.
- Master diver Frank McGuire (Richard Roxburgh) has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team--including 17-year-old son Josh (Rhys Wakefield) and financier Carl Hurley (Ioan Gruffudd)--are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?
- This movie was pretty decent visually inside the caves and what not with the 3D. Outside of that - this movie had nothing but lameness. Lame acting. Lame action. Lame suspense. Lame amount of gore for a R rated movie. It was truly downright painful.
- I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering to watch this. It was such a complete waste of time.
- Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck) is living the American dream: great job, beautiful family, shiny Porsche in the garage. When corporate downsizing leaves him and co-workers Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper) and Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones) jobless, the three men are forced to re-define their lives as men, husbands, and fathers. Bobby soon finds himself enduring enthusiastic life coaching, a job building houses for his brother-in-law (Kevin Costner) which does not play to his executive skill set, and perhaps the realization that there is more to life than chasing the bigger, better deal. With humor, pathos, and keen observation, writer-director John Wells introduces us to the new realities of American life.
- This was a great character drama looking in to corporate America and how people make a living in today's world. The four male leads all put in great and realistic performances. It made me despise big business even more than I do already. I didn't think that was possible.
- I would recommend people checking this movie out . . . . . especially with the way things are at present time with unemployment and what not. It's not a must see by any means but is a quality and enjoyable watch.
