New Movies

On Friday Feb 6, 2010 I watched Couples Retreat, Gamer, and More Than a Game.

Couples Retreat
Going into this movie I had heard from everyone that it wasn't that good, and even "I shouldn't waste my time." But I am a Vince Vaughn fan, and in this movie he still holds the best monologue actor title. Since wedding crashers I find in my opionion the monologues Vince is given to be awesome. Getting back to the movie, I do think that the movie wasn't as good or as funny as the story, actors choosen, and marketing made us believe. There was many great scenes that got me laughing any scene with the yoga instructor, and the scene where they are walking through the jungle with Vince's monologue there. over all the movie was entertaining wich is what a romantic comedy is all about. Yes it could have been funnier, but I got laughs out of it so all in all good movie. On the must watch rating I would say defenitly download to watch with the gf or yourself, maybe a rent if you got the money and your not by yourself. Its got 1/8 on replay value

Next up "GAMER"
This story line to me was awesome, it was orignal to me. Totally had my attention from reading the cover to watching it. I do wish that Ludacris was more involved in it. Ultimatly it was a movie to sit back and watch Mr. Butler kick some ass. From the directors of Crank i thought this was around the same lvl but more inviting to watch. I kept thinking through out the movie if this could ever happen and weirdly I could rationalize farfetched as it was that it could happen, and thinking about how crazy the world would be and the morals of mine that conflicted was interesting as well. As for must watch rating, forsure download its a great movie for "lets watch some ass kicking," I would rent this with a group of buddies, and I wanted to see this in theatres. Its got 1/6 on the replay value

Lastly "More Than a Game"
If you don't know this is a biography of Lebron James. What i was amazed at was the fact that its not just about Lebron James, its about his teams life from 8 years old to senior year High School. I was captivated by the fact that there was more to Lebron than just he was amazing, but that his friendships and experiances were something that I had never heard of. I could be sheltered in that aspect but the way the movie follows his child hood was great. It wasn't to biographica either the right mix of Lebron and his team schooling kids footage to interviews. If your Lebron or basketball fan you have to watch this movie, if your not a Lebron fan but like basketball you have to watch it and if you hate basketball but love stories of teamwork, trials, tribulations and how champions and "greats" get through it, i would say watch it. I would download this, rent it, even buy it to put in your more "serious" and motivating genre colection. That is if your into a real story with basketball and friendship. As for the replay value, I would probably watch it maybe once a year so 1/12.

K well thats it for the latest movies i've watched. Till next time.

Super Good!

Alright so last night i watched Superbad for about roughly the 8th time. Still good.. I was thinking this time i watched it how humorously accurate it portrays true friendship. The whole part at the end when they are having a sleep over and Seth says that he loves him and just wants to scream it on the roof tops. So awesome. I'de do that to any one of my friends and they know it. As for the value of the movie minus the swears and perverted humor its hilarious (the perverted humor is what makes the movie, with out it we wouldn't have the movie). So if you can get over that watch it, buy it, love it. If you can't get past it, rent something else.

First Thoughts!

As many of my friends know, I am passionate about movies. I watch a wide variety of movies from chick flicks, action, comedy, drama, suspense, pretty much anything. I love getting asked about what i thought about a particular movie, so i had the idea to start a blog. Why not? I thought it would be fun and another resource for anyone to use. I not only want to express my opinions the movies I've seen but the movie that are to come. Every movie I see in the theatre during the previews i give a Thumbs up, and Thumbs Down to whoever is closest to me. I want to disclose why I think I would like to see one and how it tickles my fancy and not the others. I think it shall be good for all of us. Even if you completely disagree with me.
