Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World «««
Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is just your average 22. But when he falls for the mysterious Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), he finds himself in an adventure that requires him has to defeat Ramona's seven ex's.

This movie is flat out ridiculous, that being said, I truly did enjoyed it. From the beginning to the end the film was full of funny moments and dialog that was exceptionally witty. If you are a video game fan, you'll love this movie! Most of the fight scenes were styled to look like classic arcade games. Although the Action was over the top it was well done and fun to watch.
The actors had chemistry and were paired perfectly with the characters they played.
The film is aimed at more of a young adult crowd, but i think that older adults will be able to appreciate it as well. I definitely would recommend this is one. You'll enjoy it.

Salt

Salt «««
Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie), is a CIA agent that is know as one of the best. But when a Russian defector comes to the CIA claiming that she is a Russian spy, she has to flee and try to clear her name. As more and more evidence is gathered, it could be possible that Salt is not quite who she appeared to be.

I always love a good action movie! I like even more when there's a solid story line to go with it. Unfortunately a film with both is very uncommon and almost impossible. This is case for Salt. There was a lot of cool action, but the story was not a developed as i would have liked. Going into the movie I was told not to take it to seriously, and I'm glad that i followed that advice, for there were times where I just laughed to myself because that action was so crazy and farfetched. But as a fellow viewer said, " I was entertained the whole movie." This movie has all kinds of great twists that will keep you guessing the entire time. Needless to say you will be entertained, but don't expect to see this one at the Academy Awards.

The Other Guys

The Other Guys ««
Allen and Terry are two cops with clashing personalities are paired as partners in New York City. Allen (Will Ferrell) is a play it safe cop that seems to enjoy paper work. Terry (Mark Wahlberg)is an action hungry cop that was stuck behind a desk after an accidentally shooting.
The two stumble on a case that leads them head to head with high-profile investment scam. What at first seemed to be a simple crime soon showed it self to be much bigger and dangerous.

This movie looks hilarious from the preview. I was excited to see am action-filled comedy. Unfortunately this film was a miss. I walked out thinking that it tried way to hard to make you laugh. Every three seconds there was a little funny comment or joke, it became too much. Don't get me wrong there were a few funny parts, just not enough.

The Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter ««
Reporter, Nicole Hurly (Jennifer Aniston), is on the brink of breaking a huge story when she is hunted down by a bounty hunter that turns out to be her ex-husband, who is more then happy to cart her off to jail. While bringing her in, Milo (Gerard Butler) realizes that Nicole is not the only one being hunted. Now they must figure out who is trying to kill them while trying not to "kill" each other.

I'm not going to lie, I like a good rom-com every now and then. The Bounty Hunter was a fun movie. When I say fun, that means that it had some good moments and was overall entertaining, but not great. I'm not quite sure Gerard Butler was right for this role. Not to say that he's not a great actor, but he really didn't fit this film. Now Jennifer Aniston, on the other hand, has really impressed me with the last few roles that she has played. I think that she is great in these kind of movies and that she fit her character well. Overall I think if your bored, go see this one in the dollar theater, or wait to rent it. You might enjoy it, no guarantee.
