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
