Public Enemies

Public Enemies was way too long for my liking and I don't care for Johnny Depp.

Now with all of that being said, I think Johnny Depp did do a good job in this movie and the movie does give you the sense that you are watching an old mobster movie.

However there are some herky jerky movements of the camera and lighting situations which I just couldn't get past. Now comes the moment of truth, is this movie worth full price? Well if you are a Johnny Depp fan or really enjoy old time mobster films, then I guess it would be worth full price. If you aren't into Johnny Depp or even mobster films but you want to check it out, then catch a matinee.  

The Hangover

We went and saw The Hangover last night and all we can say is W.T.F. 

we went into it expecting for it to suck, because the ads for it were funny and that usually means the commercial/trailer is the movie. Well in this case that theory does not work. 

This movie was wrong on so many levels. we laughed our asses off watching this movie. 

You have to see this movie with a crowd.  Is this movie worth paying full price at todays prices? Hell yes it's worth paying full price.

Get out and see this movie. 

*On a side note, We recently worked at one of the strip hotels doing security for the past 6 years and to borrow a phrase from Mythbusters, everything seen in Las Vegas in this movie is "PLAUSIBLE" and we have seen some of the stuff first hand or heard about from other workers.

Land Of The Lost

Land of the Lost stays somewhat true to the show from the 70's. There is a Rick Marshall, there is a Will and there is a Holly, they just aren't related. Oh yea, Chaka is here too, just not like in the show. Chaka is now older and some kinda monkey prince of sorts.  There is plenty of humor that at times sort of pokes fun at the show and is some what sexual at times. The special effects are better than the stop motion of the TV show and the jokes are still as lame as they were on the show. There is some brief partial nudity which is definitely not like the TV show. The Sleestacks are pretty much the same except for their teeth. Land of the Lost is a good family film and would be a great matinee or regular priced date movie. If you have never seen the TV show, you will still enjoy the movie.

Night At The Museum 2

Night At The Museum Battle Of The Smithsonian was an okay movie.  Ben Stiller reprised his role as did many from the first movie although briefly.  Jonah Hill{Super Bad}was seen in a scene as a security guard at the Smithsonian, but unfortunately all he was in was a scene.  This movie might have been better had Jonah been in it more.  Hank Azaria had the role of the lead villain and was quite annoying talking with an unnecessary lisp and sounding like Boris Karlof. This movie although presented in Imax would be better on cable TV. If you must see this movie now, go to a matinee because it is not worth full price. In fact, save your money and watch the first one again it was more enjoyable. 

Star Trek

The latest Star Trek movie is very well done both with action and humor.  It is a great premiss to see the origins of the original characters and find out two of them were involved with each other.  This movie is well worth the full price admission.

Drag Me To Hell

This movie started out as being a great scary movie and gave you goose bumps, but when the plot twist came up, that is when the sizzle faded and the movie went to hell.

They use the same overdone twist where things get mixed up together and the wrong thing is picked up.  This movie is better seen on cable or DVD at a friends house, so you don't have to pay for it.

Watchmen, Knowing, Duplicity & I Love You Man

Well we haven't posted in a while so we have some catching up to do. We finished off 2008 and some of the movies were hit and miss, now with that being said lets get down to it.

Watchmen-being a fan of the graphic novel I liked it it was well shot the CGI for Dr. Manhattan was awesome for the most part it stayed closed to the graphic novel but you have to Hollywood-up certain parts to put "asses-in-the-seats" So we recommended it. SPECIAL NOTE!! DON'T TAKE THE KIDS TO SEE THIS. THIS MOVIE IS "R" RATED FOR A REASON!

Knowing-Let's say this we are fans of Nicolas Cage but his choices in films recently have been pretty shitty and Knowing is no exception it actually was an interesting concept on paper but as soon as you throw an alien twist in it WTF!? My partner stayed and watched it until it ended I walked out on it. This is a wait for TV when you're bored at a friends house.

Duplicity-Well the trailers looked good the biggest problem we had with this was the story started in the present then to set the rest of the story up it was told in a flash back which is fine but when you do this for 1 hour 56 minutes that is annoying. Not even Clive Owen's good acting & Julia Roberts ummm.....whatever could save this film. By the way we walked out on this one too.

I Love You Man-This is a funny movie it was raunchy laughs but so worth it we actually sat through the entire film we recommend seeing it.
