Takers

My husband and i had a date night last night and after dinner we went and saw this movie, Takers, at the theatres. I liked the movie and I would rate it 3/5 stars. The movie is has guns, expolsions, cop chases and good looking guys. (I love Paul Walker.) Altough in gerneral the movie is kind of preditable while watching it, it is good and would recomend it to anyone who enjoys a good action movie.

So my husband went away for the night with his friends, so I went out and rented this movie for myself to watch after my son went to bed. I love Meryl Streep and m y best friend said it was a good movie too so I went with it.

Plot Summary: Jane and Alex who have been divorced for 10 years, are brought back to together at long time mutual friends anniversary. There begins an affai for the two ex's as Jake has been re-married but is finding that it is no longer working and he desperately wants to be in James life again. However Jane is becoming very interested in Adam, the architect who is re-designing her kitchen.

This movie is probly the best romantic comedy I have watched in a long time. It had many great laugh out loud moments and it was very real. STreep , Baldwin and Martin were all fantastic and I will probly watch this again, maybe even today when my husband gets back because I think he would like it too.

Anyhow, I give this movie a definate 5/5 stars and I do recommend it, whether you watch it alone or with your significant other.

Cheers, hope you enjoy!!!!

The Last Song - The Movie

So FINALLY watched The Last Song lastnight with my husband and best friend. I had been wanting to see it for so long and happy I didi watch it.
I really enjoyed the movie, although of course I loved the book much more.
I would like to start by commenting on the casting of the movie and I will start with the father, Steve, who was played by Greg Kinear. Kinear was the perfect actor for this role. Even before I watched the movie and I heard he played Steve, I instantly knew he was perfect for the role. Next would be Ronnie, played by Miley Cyrus, who i thought did a pretty good job by didn't really blow me away. I keep thinking there could have been someone slightly better for the role and I haven't quite figured out who I would pick for the role yet but whe I do I will let you know. And finally Will, played by Liam Hemsworth, I think did a pretty good job for my first time watching him. I don't really have anything outstanding to comment on him but I have nothing negative either. So all in all cast was pretty good for the main character's.

Now for the movie. I really did enjoy alot. It made me laugh out loud several times and made me cry, but not the hicupping, sobbing kind of cry. I thought the movie followed the book fairly well but of course there were changes. I was a little disappointed that the Reverend didn't play a role in the movie because I think he would have played an important supporting role for both Steve and Ronnie, but the movie made my good graces with out the role. I would recomend watching this movie for anyone who loves a good chick flick cause it has all the elements of making it a good movie...and it wasn't a long drawn out movie like some chick flicks can turn into.

My movie rating of this...I would give it a 3.5/5 stars.
