50/50

50/50 is a movie about Adam play by Joseph Gordon-Levitt how has just been told that he has a 50/50 shot of living. The film is very good in the simplest of words. The film had a great tone and great pacing. They where able to make you laugh and make you really sad for this character of Adam. The script of this film and the acting are the shining stars of this film. The script made some great moments that will have you laughing but when they are about to get serious they really do and it not just big joke. Levitt was great in this film. He really has some acting chops and I can't wait to see what he does next. Levitt really makes you feel for him. Because he becomes that lovable guy. He was really funny and very good in this role. Seth Rogen is also in the film has his best friend Kyle. I like Seth Rogen in this. He played the same character he always plays, but they toned him down and it really worked in the film as a whole. The problems that with the film was the way it ended. I personally didnt like it, but others will. Then the DOP was also a hit and miss with me. He tried to give it that documentary  feel, but he really falls short. But all in all i still highly recommend the film.

Air Force One

Air force one is about the plane. In the simplest form. It stars Harrison Ford, William H Macy, and Gary Oldman.Oh yeah in Glenn Close. Just form that cast it is pretty easy that this has a really good acting in it. Ford plays the President of the USA coming back form a dinner with Russia. Who we had just help get rid of a terrorist leader. When they are on the plane they get taken over by terrorist lead by Gary Oldman. Very simple story. What made this film so much fun was Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman. Watching Indiana Jones kick ass in a suit was awesome. Oldman also played one of the best on screen bad guys i have seen in awhile. It had great action and really good acting by the two leads. It has one of the coolest lines ever. Given by Ford. GET OFF MY PLANE. Just a great scene. If you like action movies and Harrison Ford see this movie. Well I loved this movie. I did have problems with it. The biggest problem with the film was that it is very impossible. Parts of these film would never happen in reality. It is in big popcorn flix. This is not the film you go to see and think after you see this film for the opposite reason not to think.

Stupid, Crazy, Love

Stupid, Crazy, Love is about a man who has just gotten divorced and is trying to move on with his life. This is the main story of the film and there are many other stories that are very well told in this film. It is one of the best chick flixs i have ever seen. The film balances all the stories so well and they are all interesting to watch and all the over all tone of the film is great. The directors did a great job of this it never had a dull part of the film and was very well paced. There were so many actors in this film. You have Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon, and Melissa Tomie. They all do great jobs and have very funny moments and great characters. I am not gonna lie Ryan Gosling has a had a great year this year all the films i have seen by him have been great. The only parts that I really didn't like about this film was the way that one characters is done and acted. Analeigh Tipton was the worst part of the whole film. I was not into the way she acted in the film and plus the story she was in.  I liked the story linking to her with Carells son just not her story with Carell. Even with that minor glich in the film I say rent and see it

The Other Women

The Other Women is a IFC film about a man and wife who have a child, but the baby needs up doing of natural causes and you find out the the women that the man is sleeping with is actually is second wife and he cheated on his first wife the one he has now. Natalie Portman plays the other women in this ( the second wife). It is a a descent drama with a lot of good acting mainly done by Portman. She really is the real and only reason to see this film. The film surrounding her is not very great. Not to say its not bad but nothing new that we haven't seen before and will see again. There are some really good moments the the child in the film who actually does a descent job in that role, but beside those to actors in really is just a descent film. They could have done a lot more with the script on this one. It just feels a little under developed and not thought all the way through like the movie asks to many questions and doesn't really answer them all. What I also did like was the some of the shots in the film were pretty cool, but there are only like one or two of them so not very well directed and shot. It is a very descent film and very easy to forget.

Real Steel

Real Steel is what you get when you cross Rocky with fighting robots with Hugh Jackman. First off I have to say a lot of people didn't think this film was going to be that good. Well its a good film. This movie is very fun. If your looking for a film about robots fighting you are so gonna get that, but if you want a movie with a good story line about a father and son you will get that as well. Jackman and the kid (don't know the name) have a great chemistry they have some great back and forth in the film. On the action side it is very well done we don't get the Micheal Bay Transformer type action where it is just all over the place it is just shot straight on with a camera i enjoyed it.  If you are a fan of boxing movies you will most likely like this film, even if there are giant fighting robots. This movie in a nutshell is just so fun. You will sit down and have a good time if you see this film. It really has something for everyone. The only real problem with the film is that you can totally see where the movie was going. Which hurt the film is someways because you just know the ending of the movie before it even starts, but if you like robots and Jackman I say check this film out.

Friday

Friday is a big hang out and pretty buddy comedy. The film is about the day in the life of two young man. Crag and Smoky. Crag is played by Ice Cube and Smoky is played by Chris Rock. From those actors and the names of those actors you can tell what this film is about. Weed, Mary Jane, and any other 3rd name you can think of. First one the movie is really funny and has a lot of talking and really good characters. I loved the characters of this film. Crag and Smoky are two great well written characters. This film was like the original to Harold and Kumar. A lot of the same type of comedy in in this film. It also took a big page form clerks. Just with a lot more talking. I also will say that I liked the serious parts of the film. With how to become a man. It was actually really well done. It was very simple on the fact of film making, but very well done. The parts that are going against the film is the fact that is not open to everybody. It is just aimed at one type of crowd. Also the parts needed to have a bit more spark and more development.

Gulliver's Travels

Gulliver's Travels is about Gulliver (Jack Black) who is a man that has done nothing with his life. He has worked in the mail room of company i believe for a 10 years. He meets this writer and editor and the company that writes reviews on places all over the world. He likes her so he impress her by lieing saying that he can write. So she sends him to the Bermuda Triangle and the boat that he is on wrecks and he ends up on a island with a people the size of mice. That is pretty much the story of this movie. Which we have seen before. The film itself is really bad. The tone and pacing of the film is all over the place. It has a really jumpy story. It did not have a very strong director behind this film. Also Jack Black give one of his worse acting i have ever seen. It was so just so bad on the acting. the only really strong part of this was Jason Segal who is a side characther that is actully well written, but doesn't get the screen time he needs. Also the humor was just dick and fart jokes which I person hate with a passoin
