“The Invention of Lying” Movie Review

“The Invention of Lying” Plot Summary

A comedy set in a world where no one has ever lied, until a writer seizes the opportunity for personal gain.

Seen before story, but still a funny and sweet story

A fun comedy that shouldn’t be taken too seriously

The story itself is a very classic fairytale of someone who is at the bottom of the social list, but suddenly gets all that he/she wants. It’s seen before and not a very creative storyline; however Ricky Gervais has put in a lot of creativity

Ricky Gervais is perfect in this role, but he’s a little too comfortable in the lovable looser role with deep insights to his surroundings. His three big hits as a main character after The Office has been almost the excact same character: Extras, Ghost Town and The Invention of Lying. He does it perfectly and with a Babel tower of charm, but it would be nice to see him in a different role

All in all, I enjoyed the movie, regardless of it’s flaws. It has a very mellow and calm mood, which works very well.

“The Bank Job” Movie Review

“The Bank Job” Plot Summary

Martine offers Terry a lead on a foolproof bank hit on London’s Baker Street. She targets a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. But Terry and his crew don’t realize the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets – secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption and illicit scandal. add synopsis

Better than Most

I recommend this movie

The movie has a well thought out plot. It moves at a good pace that leaves you interested with the actual events in the film

The acting was well done. Jason Statham continues to be one of todays most under-appreciated and underrated actors. Yes, he does do some questionable action movies, but when you put him in a role where one actually needs to ‘act’, he never disappoints

The dialog was ‘catchy’ but still believable. The characters in this movie are believable in their ’sinister’ ways or their ‘everyday joe’ kind of ways. You really do end up hating certain individuals and loving others. There are so many interesting characters that have an interest in the bank heist that you really do want to know how it all ends

There was no unnecessary violence just for the sake of violence and yet at points, it felt like an action thriller

In the end, this is a movie with a great plot, great characters, good dialog and an ending with no holes. AND this movie is missing the Hollywood ‘over the top’ quality that has a tendency to ruin most movies

Definitely worth seeing.
