Here’s an adventure film filled with action actors that really has screen presence including Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li and more. Each actor in his own way muscles his character and thinks brutality is a way of life. You can see the aging killer elite in the bloody kick butt film called The Expendables.
Wow! Step Up 3D takes dance to a higher level through three-dimension cinematography with explosive eye-popping dance routines. Tweens to Twenties will get the most out of the film, especially if dance and music fuels your fire.
Here is a good documentary that will scare you to death knowing what a nuclear bomb would do if those in possession have a desire to end the world as we know it. It’s called Countdown to Zero and although it may be a fairytale in getting all the countries to agree to nuclear disarmament, it’s an eye-opener. Much like The Cove that actually got a country to stop killing dolphins, this at least is a step in the right direction.
This year has hatched some entertaining cop/espionage comedic action adventure films like Cop Out, Knight & Day and The Killers and now the summer offers a real belly laugher called The Other Guys starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The movie touches all the right bases, shatters the funny bone and makes silly a good word.
Silly, silly and more silliness, but that is what make Dinner for Schmucks fun to watch. The film does start out very slow, but it gains momentum leading to a hysterical ending. You’ll have to like the acting of Paul Rudd and Steve Carell to really get the ultimate comedic benefit from the film.
Last year’s Coco Before Chanel now continues with a new lead actress and very brazen content. Beautifully photographed and directed, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky is a gem for the art lover and film buff. If you have been smitten by Chanel’s rise from rags to riches, then this is a must see film.
Kicking it up a notch, Angelina Jolie takes on the role of Salt a hard-hitting heart-pounding thriller about espionage on American soil. The film takes off running and never stops even at the very end. It’s an energy boost for action lovers and I for one loved it.
It’s a different kind of love story that deals with family and changes within our society. It’s called The Kids Are All Right and it is very good. The excellent acting and keen direction make the challenging storyline real. If you would like to check out the other side of the coin involving gay relationships, this is the film for you.
From France comes a quirky little film that captivates, explodes, deceives and in the end, grabs at your heart. It’s called Micmacs and the fun film fires up and takes notice. I loved everything about it and I can’t wait to see it again.
Turn your thinking brain on, grab hold of the arm rests and focus on the screen, that’s my best advice when you go to see Inception, an incredible thriller of a movie. Filled with awesome CGI, fine acting by a notable cast, rigorous direction by The Dark Knight’s Christopher Nolan and a storyline that outshines The Matrix. Inception is for those who like suspense mixed with amazing action.
