That is a fact. When Machete is around, safety is your number one concern because it will be at high risk. This is a perfect example of the type of movie that critics will generally hate and movie goers will generally love . . . it is one of the mysteries of the universe. Remember, I consider myself more a movie goer than a movie critic so I did enjoy it. I can tell you that the majority of the audience at the screening I attended enjoyed it too….

Heist films revolved around the ultimate master plan of an individual or individuals to break the rules and their avoidance of getting caught in the process. The majority of these films captivate audiences with its thrills and the cleverness of its stories. Takers has very few of these genre’s characteristics, as filmmakers gave the film an action/drama approach that basically broke the movie into two different films; a slow, boring, long overacted first half that takes forever to develop and an energetic breathless action second half that end up saving the film from a complete disaster….

The setting, storyline, and characters of the movie were perfect and had the potential to create a spine chilling film. Unfortunately, having the greatest tools doesn’t automatically give you an award winning film unless you know how to exercise them. The plot leads to a disappointment, desperately wanting an ending to have more of a message or ironic judgment…..

“Life’s in session” is how Jennifer Aniston’s character, Kassie, puts it as part of her rational for deciding to have a baby using a sperm donor. Boy, have storylines changed over the years. This is a modern day movie with a modern day theme. For Kassie it means going for the contemporary solution to having a baby when you are not in a relationship with a potential father, and you really want to have a baby. You’ve heard of Sex and the City, well I call this Life and the City…..

This week I was given the pleasure of watching the latest child fantasy movie, “Nanny McPhee Returns”. On my way to the theatre, I honestly was not looking forward to watching it, but I was convinced. I saw the first Nanny McPhee when it came out a few years ago and I loved it. So you might be asking why didn’t I want to see the sequel. Well I thought that the first movie was the kind of movie that should stand on its own. It had no need whatsoever for there to be a second one. So that was my, “beef” with this movie, but boy did my outlook change…..

Now that’s what I call entertainment! This could quite possibly be the movie that I have had the most fun watching in the history of my life. Wow, what a boast and I actually mean it. I’m not saying it’s the best movie I’ve ever seen, but it is way up there on the fun meter. From the ultra cool video game style Universal logo intro to the end credits, this is like watching a really good, big video game come to life. This movie is hip, witty, funny, smart, modern, clever, and cool. Most of those characteristics are evident in the incredibly simple yet potent storyline and the brain stimulating dialogue….

You have to enjoy silly slapstick humor in order to enjoy watching this movie. That pretty much sums it up so the review is over . . . thank you for your time. No, just kidding, a little more can be said about this comedy. It seems that with Will Ferrell, it’s usually a hit or miss kind of situation. Movies like Semi-Pro and Blades of Glory were weak while Anchorman and Elf were excellent. You have some borderline ones with Talladega Nights and Step Brothers for example, but they don’t really leave a lasting impression. So when the news got out about this film, my initial reaction was “oh no, here we go again”. I was really expecting a disappointment but what I found was a much better amount of hard laughs……

Who is Salt? It is the most appropriate question and if you’re like me, you’ll be asking that question well into the film. There is intrigue, mystery, motivation, and purpose, but what is her purpose and what exactly is her goal? This action thriller is well done and intense. It can be compared to many others including the Bourne series, Wanted, and kind of like Mrs. Smith gone solo. Angie is far from losing her touch or her ability to give us a worthy female action character……

That is pretty much how you will feel about this movie. While you are watching, it will feel real enough but when you leave you might be like “What? What was that?” I think it’s time to come up with a new concept and I will call it the Matrix effect. The Matrix effect is that sensation you get when watching a movie and you think to yourself “Wow, this is unlike anything I’ve ever seen on the big screen.” In recent cinematic history, The Matrix was the first big production to give me that sensation. Avatar did the same, of course. And just like that, BAM!, here’s another one. There is a certain collection of directors/movie makers that you know don’t mess around when doing a job……
