The Swich

The Switch «««

Kassie and Wally are best friends, but when they hit 40, Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) decides that she wants to be a mom. Since there isn't any romantic prospects in here life, she decides to find a donor. But when, Wally (Jason Batman), makes the drunken mistake of switching the donor's "sample," for is own, he is forced to live with the secret that Kassie's son is really his.

This movie was surprisingly better then I expected. I find myself consistently impressed by Jason Bateman's acting spectrum. He and Jennifer Aniston had good chemistry and played their characters well. There was also a very funny supporting cast with Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis. Thomas Robinson gives an amazing performance as Sebastian, the boy.

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.

Cyrus

Cyrus «««

John (John C. Reilly) has been alone and stuck in an awkward state, for almost seven years. When he has nearly given up hope, his luck improves when he meets Molly (Marisa Tomei). Just when things couldn't get any better, John meets Cyrus (Jonah Hill), Molly's, 21 year old, son. As John and Molly's relationship starts flourish, John slowly starts to realize that Cyrus is doing everything in his power to pull the couple apart.

When I first saw the the preview for this movie, it looked hilarious. But while watching, I felt like the movie couldn't decide between being a comedy or a drama . There were a few funny moments, but most of them were more awkward then anything else. This film is very slow and at times hard to sit through. The one thing that made the film worth while was the acting. I felt that the actors fit well with the characters they were playing. I would suggest renting this one, if that.

Inception

Inception «««««

I don't want give anything away! YOU NEED to see this movie!

When I saw the preview I had no idea what to think about this movie. I LOVED it! There were times where i found that my jaw dropped because of the visual effects. Christopher Nolan creates a world where the lines of dreams and reality are blurred. I was on the edge of my seat almost the entire movie. I feel like when, it comes to action movies, often times the plot and story suffer in the director's attempt to awe the audience. In Inception the story is what drives the action. The acting was brilliant as well. The actors fit they're characters perfectly.

Some reviews that i read said that the movie was difficult to follow due to its complex plot, but i feel that the movie was perfectly done in a way where the complexity adds to the story.

I'm happy to say that this is my new favorite movie.
