Did You Hear About the Morgans

Did You Hear About the Morgans is a recently released movie out in the theaters right now. The movie is touted as a comedy about a couple that gets put in the Witness Protection Program. I saw the previews on television and couldn’t wait to go see Did You Hear About the Morgans.

Don’t worry about getting your drinks and popcorn before you sit down in the actual theater for Did You Hear About the Morgans. The beginning of the movie is very slow. If there is a line at the concession stand, save yourself some time and go get your food and drinks during the first 10 minutes of the movie. Trust me, you won’t miss a thing!

Did You Hear About the Morgans deals with the subject of infidelity and infertility in a marriage. Both of these are very heavy and sensitive issues. I’m not sure how they thought that they could pull off humor and comedy with these two marriage topics. The third topic of course was a successful business woman making it on her own.

So, the Morgans go on a date to try and discuss their marriage problems. They witness a murder. Immediately they’re whisked away to Ray Wyoming. During their week stay, they learn more about each other and to communicate. Amazing how a marriage can be solved in just a mere week’s worth of time!

I found the movie to be entertaining but very slow moving. It definitely did not come across as a humor to me. It is more of a chick flick than a couple’s flick. I give Did You Hear About the Morgans a thumbs down and disappointing frown.

Why Did I get Married Too?

The film, “Why did I Get Married Too”, is a Tyler Perry Production that is a sequel to ‘Why Did I Get Married’ that was released in 2007. The four married couples decide to take a trip to reunite in the Bahamas. They want to discuss how married life has been over the past year.

During this reunion, challenges are faced in each one’s life. An ex-husband returns to break up his ex- wife’s marriage and tries to regain her back.

I really enjoy Tyler Perry movies because every film he directed has a meaning to it. All of his movies and plays have a valuable lesson that fans can implement in their everyday lives. Whether you are in a marriage, contemplating marriage, or in a relationship, this film is worth going to see in a theater near you.

The characters in this movie are the same characters in the first movie, “Why Did I Get Married”. Patricia played by, Janet Jackson, offers a powerful and emotionally-charged role. I was deeply inspired by her role alone, but the entire movie and acting was riveting.

2012 in Theaters

The movie, 2012, caught my eye with all the dramatic and enticing previews on television. I just knew that I had to go to theaters and see this. After all, what perfect timing that it is set just 2 years from now!

I found the movie 2012 to be extremely confusing. I was lost almost instantly. After, I started figuring out the movie it only got worse.

The action in 2012 looks fake and unrealistic. I thought I was watching a movie from years ago, instead of one with today’s cinema technology and filming equipment. Parts of the movie looked like a bunch of amateurs did the movie sets, instead of professionals. Very disappointing.

The plot line in 2012 was easily predictable. There was no character development to draw you into the lives and feelings of the actors and actresses. I could’ve cared less who was going to survive the 2012 natural catastrophic events.

Save your money and wait for 2012 to come out on DVD and rent it cheaply to watch, just so you can say you did.

Star Trek the 2009 Movie

I really enjoyed watching the television series, Star Trek. I couldn’t wait until the 2009 Star Trek movie would come out into the local theaters here. I waited with anticipation from the first day I saw the previews on television.

The acting in Star Trek movie was quite exceptional. There were bits and points that were quite humorous. The movie started out actually quite funny.

However, I found myself bored and ready to get up and leave. I wanted to ask for a refund of my money. The movie Star Trek gives the background and life of the USS Enterprise team during their early years. It tells how they all ended up together on the prized and infamous ship.

The story line was dull, boring and very predictable… and that is being polite. It was extremely disappointing to watch. I couldn’t believe all the hype and excitement I felt prior to getting to see the movie.

Even though the acting was good, there just wasn’t a whole lot for the actors and actresses to work with when it comes to the script. You can save your money and skip this movie. You will save yourself a lot of disappointment.

White Out Movie Review

Kate Beckinsale stars as the lead detective who has taken a post in Anartica to essentially escape a horrible past. Her primary crimes are simple to solve and nothing noteworthy. That is until it’s almost time for the sun to set for 6 solid months in Anartica. A string of murders leads to an investigation that is filled with twists, turns and the unexpected.

I was initially a little bored when White Out started. I knew that it was going to be one of those typical who-done-it crime movies that would be easy to figure out by the half-way point. Wow was I ever wrong.

After about 10 minutes, White Out became very intense and suspenseful. I found myself biting my tongue to keep from yelling at the movie screen to help the movie stars out. You can easily get that wrapped up in White Out that you forget you’re sitting in the movie theater.

I won’t give away the ending. But I can tell you it is probably NOT who you think it is.

Sherlock Holmes New Movie

Hold onto your seat belts for this 2 and half hour film in movie theaters now, Sherlock Homes. You’ll be entertained with delight by Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong, Eddie Marsan as the acting cast for Sherlock Holmes.

I was a little skeptical at first. The reviews in my local area weren’t that great. A few friends went to see Sherlock Holmes and said they loved it. One friend talked on and on about Sherlock Holmes for over an hour. I just knew then I had to break down and go see it. Boy am I glad that I did!

Great detective work against Blackwood and some good punches always help to solve a case. You think you’ve got it all figured out when you watch Sherlock Holmes only to find out that there is more of the unexpected that you’d never have guessed.

This is definitely a must-see movie for the new year. You don’t want to miss out on this at all.

Precious Movie Review

Precious is a new movie out that will have you glued to your seat. Be prepared to spend an intense period. The writers get you very drawn into the characters from the very beginning of the movie.

Mo’Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, Sherri Shepherd, Lenny Kravitz all are part of the cast and do an excellent job in this film. I would be surprised if they don’t win a large number of awards for their roles and how well they did.

Without giving away all the details, this is a must-see movie. Be aware though that are some very adult-themed topics. This is not one of those R rated movies you want to sneak a young teen into. The themes can be rather disturbing at times.

Zombieland Total Let Down

I recently watched Zombieland in the theaters. Zombieland is rated R. The reason I primarily wanted to see Zombieland was the list of actors and actresses in the movie caught my attention.

While, Zombieland is a horror movie, it is also a comedy. Several of my friends found Zombieland to be hysterical. I was extremely let down by the movie, Zombieland. The only part I was laughing at was how pathetically made the movie was.

The entire movie is very predictable. You can almost count the seconds until your prediction of what is going to happen next actually unfolds on the screen before your very eyes. Absolutely, no suspense.

There was some gore. This was done reasonably well. However, the entire thing was just strange. There was no explanation as to why the non-zombie characters were immune to the disease that caused the destruction of mankind and petkind.

I definitely give Zombieland the thumbs-down and feel it was disappointing.

Angels and Demons Hit the Box Office

“Under the watchful eye of Father Silvano Bentivoglio and Dr. Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), the CERN scientists start the Large Hadron Collider and manage to capture three vials of antimatter. Immediately afterward, someone kills Father Silvano, and uses his retina to break into the containment room to steal one vial of anti-matter.” (IMBD)

Angels and Demons stars Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon. It is rated PG13 for the violence, disturbing images and some of the theatrics that are involved.

You’ll want to make certain you have your popcorn in hand and don’t miss any of this 138 minute, mystery thriller movie. It is riveting, powerful and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Think you have the mystery solved? Think again! The ending of Angels and Demons might truly surprise you to no end.

Yes Man Movie Review

The movie, Yes Man, is very uplifting and inspiring at the same time. Even though Jim Carrey makes this movie funny in many parts, it does have a serious theme. You will find that you are laughing a great deal through the movie, Yes Man.

Jim Carrey plays the role of Carl Allen. Carl is focused on the present. He is rather anti-social. His life is at a virtual stand-still. His friend from the past asks Carl to attend a seminar with him. It is free.

At first, Carl takes the ideas of the seminar too far. He says Yes to everything in his life. His friends take advantage of him in the movie, Yes Man. But then things eventually balance out. I won’t give away the ending to the movie and spoil it for you.

This is a great movie to watch. It teaches you about balance. However, it’s not an in your face type of movie. Yes Man, is even a movie that teens could learn from. You will be laughing and learning at the same time when you watch the movie, Yes Man, with Jim Carrey.
