Salt

Steph....This movie was ok. I like the fast pace of it and the fact the Angelina Jolie kicked everyone's ass. You could kind of tell how it was going to end but there were some good surprises along the way. If you have an afternoon to kill go see it.

Kris....Ya this was just ok. There is some good action and jolie was allright. I kind of felt like it dragged a bit. But if you want to go to the movies and you have seen inception allready then this one is worth checking out.

She's Out of My League

Steph... This movie was cute. It had its moments but it was more like something you'd see on lifetime of USA. It didn't feel like a big buget comedy to me.


Kris..... I liked this movie but didnt love it. The man guy is good as a loveable dork and the main actress is very hot but you know how this is going to play out. The real steal of this movie is the dorks gang of friends. All three are very funny. Rent this one and you will get some laughs but it wont make you want to buy it.

The Runaways

Steph...Hollywood it feels so good! The is a great rock bio pic. Dakota Fanning was great as Cherie Currie, the jail bait lead singer of the band. And I was really impressed by Kristen Stewart. I never in a million years would have thought that the chick from Twilight could play the legendary Joan Jett, but she did a great job. The only problem I had with this movie is that it only focused on Cherie, Joan, and Kim Foley (the producer). There are three other girls in the band you know. Hello! Does Lita Ford ring a bell? But other than that this is definatley worth seeing.

Kris... This is so Stephs music, but I actually liked it also. The music was good and the acting was very good. The only thing that really bothered me was seeing Dakota Fanning in a corset and stockings. Isnt she like 12? I mean i am a guy and was turned on by it but also repulsed because she is an infant. Ok so she is 16 in real life. Well anyway the movie was good and really worth seeing especially if you are into 80's punk/rock chick music.

Predators



Kris.. Predators is a mindless Summer movie.Adrien Brody stars as a mercenary who tries to lead a group of warriors/crazy killers off a alien planet while they are being hunted by predators. This is the 5th movie in the franchise but the 3rd to only be about predators and not involving aliens.Brody is very good here and also very buff physically. The rest of the cast is decent.Walton Goggins from the TV show Justified also stands out. I am a big fan of Topher Grace but he is just OK here. The movie feels unresolved at the end but if you want some mindless bloody killing summer movie then its worth checking out.

Inception




Kris.... Best movie of the year so far? Yes I say so. Leonardo Decaprio plays a man who gets hired to break into peoples dreams to steal their secrets.He then gets hired for one last job to try and plant an idea into someones mind.Sounds simple but it gets very coomplicated when they have to go into a dream within a dream within a dream. The cast is very strong.Lately Decaprio has only played these tormented men and he plays it here very good again. Ellen Page is good.Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy really steal many scenes. I cant say enough how good this is and if you get a chance check it out.

Steph... So worth the wait. I liked this movie a lot. It was visually breath taking and to top it all off there was a good plot. Definatley worth checking out

The White Ribbon

Steph..... Ok so I am a documentary loving, indie film watching, kind of a girl. So when I heard about The White Ribbon I wanted to see it (German movie, subtitled). I was very disappointed. It was 2 1/2 hours of strange things are happening in our villiage, and this whole big build up to who could be causing all of this strange and horrific offenses (children being tortured, barns buring down, etc)and there was no pay off! It ends with the narrator saying I moved away and never found out what happend. WTF?

Kris... I liked this one a little more than Steph. The ending did suck but it didnt ruin it for me. Its a good black and white indie movie.

The A Team




Kris.... I ended up liking this one but was expecting much more. All the actors involved were good. Hopefully this is just a setup for a kick ass sequel now that they have the introduction of this team over with. Are they trying to shot down that droid? No there trying to fly that tank. Awesome !!!!!!!

Steph....It was alright. I was expecting it to be a lot funnier, but it wasn't bad

Knight and Day




Kris.... I am a huge Tom Cruise fan so this was a must see for me. This was a fun action movie with a lot of laughs. Cruise was is the main reason to see this.Cameron Diaz was ok, but I am not a big fan of hers. She doesn't have much range as an actress and seems to play the same role over and over again. I defenantly say to check this one out if you get a chance.

Steph... I liked this movie inspite of the fact that Tom Cruise is it. It was fun, funny, and interesting. If your looking for a fun summer movie this is the one to see.

Macgruber



Kris...... OK this review is way over due but Steph and I moved in together a little over 3 months ago and have been behind on our reviews. Macguber is a parody of one of the greatest television shows ever. Its stupid, dumb and not very good at all and yet I laughed through out the movie. I cant recommend it but if there is nothing else to rent its worth some laughs if you are not expecting much.

Steph... This probably one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. Its trying to parody a character from an 80's tv show, but gets all the main details wrong. Plus, there were so many opportunities for cameo's from the original cast (Richard Dean Anderson did make a cameo during the skit on SNL) but it never happend. Although I did like Val Kilmer in this movie
