Movies

I almost started off hating this movie before I had seen it; I thought the trailer looked like crap, with horrible comedic dialog and premises, but I took the chance on free screening tickets, figuring I could make fun at worst. The film opens with shooting at the hip action and stays pretty entertaining in comedy and delivery. Witherspoon's character's sister (Chelsea Handler) and their interactions are lots of fun. Chris Pine does a good job being semi-typecast and the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. It's way better than expected and I wouldn't have been upset had I paid full price for it. Like a review I read said, it's a romantic movie that guys won't have to be dragged to. Is it a great movie? No. Is it a fun valentines movie? Yes.

Hey, this isn't Citizen Kane. But it's funny, the actors are all good, and even though the premise is pretty silly--two secret agent types pursuing the same woman--the writers milked the possibilities about as much as they could without getting mindlessly stupid. The principals don't try to assassinate each other, merely to undermine one another's efforts, and the story works. Also, it doesn't hurt in a Rom-Com that Reese Witherspoon looks gorgeous throughout--as I suppose do Chris Pine and Tom Hardy for those more inclined in that direction--and the supporting cast is equally charming, with Chelsea Handler and Abigail Spencer especially deserving of kudos. What's not to like?

This Means WAR - CATCH IT (B+) This Means War was better than I had expected. McG's movies are always full of wild action and humor and even this time he doesn't disappointed with slightly fresh cast. Reese Witherspoon has done tons of comedies so far but this is the first time she showed her sexy side, which we have never seen in previous movies.The best part of the movie was indeed the bromance between Tom Hardy & Chris Pine, both of them have done a great job in providing great amount of fun & action. the fresh casting with Reese Witherspoon made this movie really enjoyable. So, the trio was awesome but its Chelsea handler's funny one liner which made the whole cinema chuckles. she was tremendous with her jokes as always.Overall, a complete throttle ride with no dull moment and full on F.U.N.
