Mr & Mrs Smith (2005) Review

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Two secret assassins meet and fall in love. They are now an average couple and they both believe the other one thinks they have a regular job. When they are both assassins out to kill the other. When the news of the other being an assassin as well was found out they tried to kill each other. Sneaking into their own house trying to get all the supplies they had and fighting through the living room hoping they would be the one to kill the other. The fight didn't last long as they had to eventually team up when a team of assassins were hired to kill the both of them. Using their knowledge of fighting together they set off to start a battle.

The only way to get their freedom back was to kill everyone in the way. That's just what they were about to do. First goal was to lead them somewhere so they stole the neighbours minivan and sped down the freeway. Black cars caught up behind and the action begins. Mr. Smith taking the guns and the Mrs going behind the wheel. They fend off the first batch of followers and now the battle moves to the inside of an appliance store. Huge battle goes on and they fight through the store killing everyone after them. The movie is somewhat old and not the best story behind it and that's why it gets a 2.7 stars out of 5.

Fast Five (2011) Review

Fast Five (2011)

They're back! This time it's the whole family. Everyone they met and became close with is now getting together to pull off the greatest heist of all time. This is their only chance of freedom and it's going to take a lot of time to accomplish. The two meet after bailing Dom out of prison the illegal way and decided that they must escape the lives they have and start fresh. They head to Rio in search of little car jacking jobs when they find a much better opportunity. The governor of Rio is a huge drug lord and is loaded with money, that's why he is the perfect target. They're just missing one important thing. A team. 

They had the people capable for the job, now they just needed a plan they could execute. They started off by going to one of the drug lords secret locations and burning all the money. This caused him to relocate all the profits to one location. The safest location he could find, but what could that be? A police station. They were done! No chance of them breaking into the police station unless they had invisible cars. How is that possible though. Well it is, you just need to steal a few cop cars first.

The day came and the robbery began. They snuck into the police station and hooked up the safe to the cars. Once it was pulled out, the chase begun. Swerving through police car after police car destroying everything behind it with the safe. The action involved with the movie was absolutely phenomenal and the great ending of them getting away safely with the money made for a happy ending. I really enjoyed this movie and that's why I'm giving it 4.7 stars out of 5

Fast and Furious (2009) Review

Fast and Furious (2009)

Guess who's a police officier again. That's right Brian O'Conner is back on the force and ready to take down a large drug lord. Dominic wants the same guy but for different reasons. The drug lord took the life of Letty, Dom's girlfriend of several years and he seeks some revenge. Brian and Dom meet again at the race for the spot on the team to drive for the drug lord. This spot was necessary if you wanted to even get close to this guy. Dom got the spot, but Brian used his connections with the law to get onto the team as well.

It came to the delivery day and the four cars transporting the goods, aka drugs, were on their way to sneak them across the border. They raced across the desert ground into a tunnel that brought them to the American side. From there they met up on the hill. Dom knew they would die, so he rigged his car to blow. Brian and Dom escaped together unharmed. They still needed to take care of the drug lord and they now had a way to bargain with him. The truck they took was filled with 40 million dollars of cocaine and he would not want to lose those profits. 

They arranged a meet and Brian ordered police support to watch over and arrest the drug lord, but he ended up escaping and reaching the Mexican border where the FBI could not interfere. Dom and Brian set off to get the drug lord and fight with cars through the desert to finally capture him. This movie brought me back to my childhood when the first one was made and that why I'm giving this a 4.4 stars out of 5.

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) Review

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)

A movie based on all real events that begins when a small family has to move when their son Matt gets very sick. The car rides were getting too hard for him to handle and the hospital was a far trip. This new house was cheap rent but it had a unique history behind it. They had no other decision and decided to move in.

Weird things starting happening to Matt and he began to hallucinate about dead creatures surrounding him, but that was one of the side effects of the treatment and he kept it to himself so he wouldn't have to end his treatment. Soon after the whole family started to sees this creatures and they realised the house was haunted and the house was in control of their lives. Almost dying along the way to find the reason for the spirits to be doing this.

The little boys spirit enters Matt's body and brings him to the house. He boarders up the doors from the inside and starts to rip the walls open. Hundreds of bodies fall down from the wall the image left in your head is complete disgust. The spirits were finally free and Matt randomly healed and was not sick anymore. I enjoyed the movie at the beginning, but near the end the story kind of died on me. You have to keep in mind that it was based on a true story and it can't be changed too much and that's why this movie gets a sad 2.5 out of 5 stars

Random Daily Post

Today I woke up extremely late and was not in the mood to get out of my cozy warm bed, but of course I had to. Got up late as can be anyways and only had time for a quick shower and the chance to brush my teeth. Seeing how it's becoming colder everyday of course the first time I see frost all over my car would be when I was running late. Nothing I could do now but I did not have the time to clean it off, so I jump in the car and used my windshield washer fluid to clean off the frost. It kept freezing back on and my defrosters weren't warm enough to keep the water from crystallizing yet so I continued to spray the windshield. By the time I got to the parking lot the second bell had just rung and now I had to wait inside waiting for the national anthem to finish. Once that was done I walk gently to my class room sat done then began writing this.

Casino Royale (2006) Review

Casino Royale (2006)

The names Bond, James Bond. One of most famous quotes carried on throughout the whole series. James Bond movies have been running since the 60s and they're still getting better. In Casino Royale we see an updated version of Mr. Bond with the new actor Daniel Craig. He's a wonderful actor and I loved the addition of many realistic fights, but was disappointed with the lack of cool gadgets. When I was growing up Pierce Brosnon was the James Bond I knew and loved. The quality of the movie may have been poor because of the technology they had to produce the movie, but the gadgets they came up with we're all possible and very interesting to see. I'm definitely a bigger fan with the new movies, but I will go back any day to watch the old ones.

In Casino Royale James Bond is trying to stop La Chiffre, a banker for international terrorist. His goal was to get 10 million invested into his "company and win 15 times the amount he earned in a poker game. What he didn't expect was for Bond to be a great poker player. With La Chiffre big upsetting lose, the terrorist begin looking for him. He doesn't get too far as an assassin comes to kill him while he's investigating Bond. James is out and in the hospital making a full recovery. He has a girl Vesper Lynd and plenty of money so he decides to make the decision and quit the spy world. Vesper was going to withdrawal the  money when M calls. She was wondering if the treasurer would ever get his 10 million back. That's when he went on the hunt. Vesper was a spy herself and her goal was to seduce Bond and get the money for her employer. Bond follows her to the drop off and interrupts their little party.

One of the best James Bond movies in the series in my opinion and I can't wait for the new Skyfall to come out on the 9th. A few things were missing in the movie such as the classic gadgets and that's why this movie gets a punch smacking 4 stars out of 5.

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) Review

2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Brian O'Connor is back in another movie; this time he isn't a police officer, he's a racer. The movie starts off with a last minute race that Brian gets invited to by his friend. He's fighting for first constantly switching from first to second. As he makes the final turn he takes the lead and win the race. He was one of the best racers in the community now and was very well known. Brian crossed the finish line and a crowd lined up around his car to give him congratulations. He sees this girl on the outside of the crowd and goes to approach her. As he moves closer the cops swarm in and he makes a run for it. The police shoot a electrical charge that stops his Nissan Skyline R34 and he was caught.

At the police station they brought up Brian's record and noticed his R.A.P sheet and we're going to take him to prison, unless he helped them with the capturing of a large drug smuggler. Brian would do it as long as his demands were met and he could team up with his old friend Roman Pearce.

They get in as the drivers for this smuggler and the plan to execute the arrest begins. Being the criminals they are; Brian and Roman have a different plan and don't proceed following the protocol. With sneaky tricks and ridiculous driving we see Brian and Roman escape from the police and catch the smuggler by jumping their car onto his yacht. Definitely one of my favourite Fast and Furious movies and that's why I'm giving this movie a 5 out of 5 stars. A must watch by all ages

Fast and Furious (2001) Review

Fast and Furious (2001)

A underground racing community is being investigated after several hijacking's of 18 wheeler trucks. Brain O'Connor a undercover police officer makes his way to the streets to battle with some of the best in street racers. He was spending tons of the police budget to tune his car up, making it better and faster then everyone else's car. A big race is coming up and some of the most known racers are betting big money and Brian needs to get into this race. He only had one thing he could do and that was put his car on the line with a pink slip. They line up side by side. Someone yells go; and the cars speed off. Brian was in last place and used so much Nitrous that he overheated his engine and blew his intake. Dominic Toretto won the race, but that wasn't much of a surprise as he was the best racer known in the community.

The cops showed up soon after and Dominic was walking the streets. The police started to chase him and he ran. Luckily Brain was near by and picked him up. By doing this he got on Dom's good side and became part of the crew. This was going to help him sneak around better and help investigate who was hijacking the 18 wheelers.

This movie is filled with action, cars and beautiful women. The storyline is also very good, Brian starts as a undercover cop and finds that Dom is the hijacker with his buddies. At the end he became so close with Dom that when he crashed his car Brian handed the keys to his and let him get away from the police. That's why Fast and Furious shifts a way into my heart and gets a 4.5 stars out of 5

A Thousand Words (2012) Review

A Thousand Words (2012)

A lie can only bring you so far. For one man lying is a part of his life. Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) is a business man that will go to any length to get what he wants. Manipulating people and saying so many lies you'd have to believe what he was saying must be true. His only weapon was his voice, but what would happen if that was taken away. That could never happen could it?

A newly famous guru was in town and just finished writing his book. Jack needed to sign him before anyone else did, so he used the talents of his lies to convince him. At the temple Jack leans against a tree that gives him a small cut and ruins his life. This one tree was very special in the way that it represented life. More specifically Jack's life. Every leaf on that tree was equivalent to one word spoken by Jack. Do you know what happens when all the leaves fall off a tree? That tree dies. This can only mean one thing, if Jack says too many words he dies!

I thought the movie was kinda dull and not created for my age group. In my opinion i was never really a fan of Eddy Murphy in any of his movies, but with no other choice at the time I decided to watch the movie. I can't recommend the movie, but if you enjoy a little romantic comedy then this is probably a good movie for you. A thousand words isn't a lot and so is it's rating that's why this movie gets a sad 2 out of 5 stars.

Superbad (2007) Review

Superbad (2007)

Graduation was is on it's way and the parties were being set. Everyone was invited and excited for the night except for three friends that weren't invited to any of them. For Seth, Evan and Fogell they mad it their goal to get invited. With the knowledge of their friend Fogell getting a fake ID with the name McLovin, getting invited to a graduation party was almost instant. The only issue was that they had to supply the beer for the party.

Terrified that they'd get caught they knew they must go into the liquor store and get the booze for the party. Things didn't turn out well inside the store and the cops showed up. I know what you're thinking, McLovin got busted and they were taking him to jail, but that's all wrong. He was punch and the store was robbed as he was buying the liquor. Seth and Evan see the police and immediately leave.

Thinking their friend was in jail and now their only chance of getting into the party was gone they went on the hunt for alcohol. Running all over the place walking into uninvited parties hoping they could steal a bit of beer to bring to the actual party. Along the way getting caught in lots of situations, dodging fights and running from cops.

This movie is a laugh out loud comedy that I recommend any teenager should watch. If it's just you alone late at night or you're with a group of friends it's a movie that will sure give you and your friends a good laugh. I don't think people will have trouble sitting through this movie and won't complain once it's over. With the comedy and unfortunate incidents this movie gets a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The Bounty Hunter(2010) Review

The Bounty Hunter (2010)

The Bounty Hunter is one of the more recent movies that has been added to netflix. The movie is about two characters, Milo Boyd (Gerard Bulter) and  Nicole Hurley (Jennifer Aniston) who are recently divorced and find themselves in a bit of an issue. Milo Boyd is assigned a new target who has a warrant out for there arrest. This bounty hunter needed that extra money and would never refuse an offer. Just so happens that his target is his ex wife Nicole Hurley. He knew this would be a piece, but I don't think he was expecting what was going to happen next.

The hunt for his ex wife did not take long, but the enemies that were after the two brought them closer together. As they stuck beside each other the whole time trying to escape the mob that Milo owed money to and Nicole trying to run from the killer of Walter Willy. Friends get caught in the situation soon and their cop friend Bobby Jenkins is being accused of helping the killer with the death of Walter. 

As clues build up and situations get worse it seems to all become clear. They found the killers and they knew what they wanted to do next. They wanted to get rid of all the witnesses and suspicions of Walter Willys death. So Nicole must be killed and the evidence in the police storage needed to be disposed. Bobby Jenkins goes into the police storage to meet up with the killer when he admits to being undercover and goes to pull out his gun for the arrest. He was too slow though and is shot in the stomach. Milo and Nicole rush up to help their friend and catch the killer before he hurts anyone else.

With a lot of mix ups and actions this movie gave a nice humorous base with little shots of action. Definitely was not my favourite movie, but it was enjoyable enough to finish and that's why this week for my review on "The Bounty Hunter" is getting a 3.5 stars out of 5
