Lucky You
I was shocked to find out that around 10 years ago Curtis Hanson gave us one of my favorite movies ever made: LA Confidential, only to contribute something as poor as Lucky You into the current movie meat market. And Eric Roth who brought us Forrest Gump, writing this catastrophe, what is happening to the world!
This film was billed as a romantic comedy and even has Drew Barrymore staring in in it, what could possibly go wrong? Well, this entire movie felt like a poker tutorial. Eric Bana playing “Huck” was dreadful. I lost count how many times he was explaining the ins and outs of playing poker… to the camera! Read more
The Lookout
Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) was a once promising high school athlete whose life is turned upside down following a tragic car accident. As he tries to maintain a normal life, he takes a job as a janitor at a bank, where he ultimately finds himself caught up in a planned bank robbery.
This is a great movie with very few flaws. A lot of time went into the script and cast selection. I’m not usually a fan of crime drama / thrillers but this one seemed different, almost like more of an effort was made during its production. There are a few plot twists that add to the movies flow, most of which worked. Read more
Disturbia
Well, Shia LaBeouf has been busy this year, first a leading role in one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, Transformers, Now a lead role in the very well presented Horror/Thriller Disturbia.
Before I begin this review I must say, I really hope Shia doesn’t become stagnant playing a similar role in all his upcoming movies. Although he plays his part incredibly well, I fear he may become branded as a one dimensional actor, this kid is talented, give him some more challenging roles! Read more
Reign Over Me
Adam Sandler’s finest movie. A real tear jerker. This is one of those films that practically forces the tears out of your eyes, I haven’t actually shed a tear over any movie as far as I can remember until I saw Reign Over Me. The movie is split into two storylines, Don Cheadle playing a dentist with a controlling wife and Adam Sandler playing the role of a post traumatic stress victim due to the events of 9/11 killing his entire family.
As the story unfolds Sandler really defines his character, his heart wrenching story really hit a nerve with me and I felt a lot of sympathy and anger whilst watching the movie, again, I cannot recall ever being so emotionally involved with a film. Read more
