ROCK OF AGES
MUSICAL
This movie is from
the play of the same name. It is a
spirited but senseless mess!! It has
every cliché of Hollywood you ever seen.
Small time girl Sherrie (Julianne Hough) comes to LA meets hard-worker
guy who want to be a rock star (Diego Boneta) and don’t forget Stacee Jaxx (Tom
Cruise) who is a rock legend –a mix of Axel Rose, Bret Michaels, Gene Simmons
and Michael Jackson.
Cruise is all attitude
and no voice. The only singer is Mary J.
Blige and she is very good. Lots of face
palms moments. If you love the 80’s but
want the real singers buy the albums!!
It’s kind of a good movie just don’t PAY to see in the theater-wait for
cable!!
ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER
FANTASY/ACTION
Suspension of
belief is really tested with this film!!!
If you can believe the title you can see the movie. It is based on the novel by Seth
Grahame-Smith and he wrote the screenplay.
Young Abe’s mom is killed by vampires so he swore he will kill them
all!! They mix fact with fiction. The
director Timur Bekmambetov who did Wanted should do a superhero film for the
actors are larger than life!! The action
is insanely good but you GOTTA believe A LOT in this movie.
THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN
ACTION/FANTASY
This movie is well
AMAZING!!! It is not a remake of
Spiderman 2002 but a reboot of the comic!!
You know the story Peter Parker played by Andrew Garfield ( Social
Network) who gets bitten by a spider but it tells a little bit more about what
happened to his parents. He has a new
girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone, The Help) is smart and can defend herself
when necessary and a new villain Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) who mutates
into The Lizard.
The director of this flick Marc Webb (500
Days of summer) made this spider man very vulnerable but very heroic as well.
There will be debates of who is the better Spiderman but they were all great
for their time. See it for the little
kid in you.
TYLER PERRY’S MADEA’S WITNESS PROTECTION
COMEDY
The story you have
heard before innocent CFO (Eugene Levy) in a mob Ponzi scheme and his young
wife, Denise Richards,spoiled teenage daughter, neglected son. What is different the safe house is where
sassy take -no -mess Madea. The movie is
really good when she is in it. Perry’s
Madea is stereotypical but sooo funny.
Tyler Perry is trying to branch out and do other things please give him
a chance or soon we will have Madea In Outta Space!!!
