“(500) Days of Summer” Movie Review

“(500) Days of Summer” Plot Summary

An offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who doesn’t believe true love exists, and the young man who falls for her.

Fresh & Original Romantic Comedy

This was an excellent romantic comedy, although many might not agree that it is either romantic or a comedy. I found myself laughing out loud at many of the scenes, but the laughs in the theater were few, and I think most people would label this a drama with streaks of black comedy

The driving force behind what makes this movie work (beside the script) is Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom Hansen, who carries the movie on the basis of his physical comedy and acting ability. He is the unrequited love interest in the film. JGL does have brief glimpses of true love with Summer (Zooey Deschanel) but it’s clear she’s not interested in anything permanent, just a good time. After his initial sexual encounter with Summer, JGL engaged in a choreographed dance routine of Hall & Oats ‘Your Making my Dreams Come True’, which should win JGL some type of award

Deschanel plays the role she usually plays, soulful & pretty free spirit. She played the character very well and the movie viewer could well understand her reticence to engage in a long term affair with Tom

These types of movies might leave some cold, but the ending turned out well

One additional bonus was Chloe Moritz, who played Tom’s younger teenage sister and Psycho-Analyst. She was great

A very good movie worth checking out. A near perfect date movie I might add.

“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” Movie Review

“G.I. Joe” Plot Summary

An elite military unit comprised of special operatives known as G.I. Joe, operating out of The Pit, takes on an evil organization led by a notorious arms dealer. |

Pure action

I can understand why people hate it. I mean the acting is just about average and the actors do not always fit in their roles but the movie is fun. I know that modern movies put so much effort in having great special effects and good action and sometimes forget that the actors need to act and the script to make sense. Well this movie had almost everything that they needed. They had money, some talented actors, a director that had done some good work in the past and a great chance to make it work. 170 million dollars are a lot of money. Well for me the action was great and the special effects to and that was enough for me because that is what I expected, not some award winning performances from the lead actors and if you don’t think to much about the plot holes you do not notice them as much. So to sum it up, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a fun movie that is just what it is, an action filled, adrenalin full movie.

“Killshot” Movie Review

“Killshot” Plot Summary

Beautiful Carmen Colson and her ironworker husband Wayne are placed in the Federal Witness Protection program after witnessing an “incident”. Thinking they are at last safe, they are targeted by an experienced hit man and a psychopathic young upstart killer. The ensuing struggle will test Carmen to the limit. add synopsis

One for Leonard fans

One of the best things about Elmore Leonard is that he is willing to plumb the depths of criminals’ stupidity. They are not, for the most part, very bright. Just think of the stupid criminals in Out of Sight and how sadly one of them ended his days

One review here said, c’mon, nobody can be that stupid. But that’s really the beauty of it. They can be. So it’s on display again here, starting with the Hal Holbrook character and his son-in-law. And the Mickey Rourke character, Blackbird, is not immune to this condition

So the humor is not slapstick, it’s a deeply ironic and cynical view of the underworld. This is not a great film, but it won’t disappoint Leonard fans. Diane Lane fans will also be happy, because she has a fair amount of screen time and some great wardrobe

Not sure whether this was filmed before or after Wrestler, but in any case Rourke or his agent are doing a good job in picking the right roles for his comeback. He was perfect for this.
