New "H2" Trailer
I loved the original Halloween by John Carpenter, but the sequel didn't compare to the first one. Now, the Rob Zombie version had a fresh idea with the history of Michael Myers, but lacked character development of the final girl-Laurie. Let's hope H2 has some better success.
"17 Again" Makes Us Feel Young Again

5) There is a lot of Star Wars memorabilia in the film.

3) Zac Efron moves away from his innocent High School Muscial image by saying more mature words.....
2) Zac Efron is hot.
1) Yeah...did I mention that Zac Efron is the ONLY reason to see this movie in the theatre.

Check out the article on USA Today.
"Seven Pounds" Pulls Its Weight

The film follows Ben Thomas (Will Smith) who plays an IRS agent with a secret. He helps seven strangers change the course of their lives. All Ben wants to know is if they are a good people. The "gifts" that he gives to these seven strangers are life changing and he will never be forgotten.
This is one of those films that is hard to write about because if I mention one major detail the whole movie is ruined. All I ask is for everyone to check it out and give it a chance. I can see why it got mixed reviews because it is a movie where you have to be paying attention or you may miss a major detail.
So go check it out Lauren and everyone else!
Five stars!!!!
"The Wrestler" Wins

Randy tries to live a normal life without wrestling by trying to see his estranged daughter Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood) and hoping for a relationship with a stripper Pam/Cassidy (Marisa Tomei). The film touches on topics such as aging. The revelation that Randy can no longer be a wrestler because his body does not work like it did twenty years ago. The same for Cassidy. The men treat her differently because she is not the twenty year old stripping on stage.
This is such a good film and different from the other sport "hero" movies out there.
I give it five stars.

"Monsters vs. Aliens" Must See in 3D

The cast of Monsters vs. Aliens are very refreshing. Animated films allow for a diverse set of actors and actresses to come together. It's not very often when Seth Rogen and Hugh Laurie are in a film together. The monsters Susan Murphy aka Ginormica (Reese Witherspoon), B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), Dr. Cockroach Ph. D (Hugh Laurie), The Missing Link (Will Arnett) and Insectosaurus are given the opportunity to have their freedom if they defeat the alien, Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson), from taking over the world.
This film allows children to have an imagination and for adults to laugh at the crude humor.
Monsters vs. Aliens receives four stars.

"G.I. Joe-The Rise of Cobra" Trailer
First Transformers and now the G.I. Joe's are coming to the big screen. I don't know much about G.I. Joe except that my brother used to build forts with them when he was a kid. The movie looks pretty cool. I hope it is as successful as Transformers.

Thoughts on "Slumdog Millionaire"

My answer is yes. This film deserves every award it won. Danny Boyle's directing is phenomenal. The film begins in an unconventional way with flashbacks of Jamal (Dev Patel) being questioned for cheating on India's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and how each question he answers reflects a moment in his life. Through vivid flashbacks and beautiful cinematography we see the life of a slumdog in India. It is not until late in the film does the classic Hollywood ending happen that is usually not portrayed in foreign films. It was all for love. Money didn't matter. Integrity matters. Saving the girl and living happily ever after whether rich or poor. Faith and destiny will take flight. Take time to see this film because it will change your prospective on everyday knowledge and how we answer questions.
Your Choice
