Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
A little slow, but really unpredictable
Pretty much cut and dry on this review. This movie took awhile to get through, but it had big actors, and a wicked storyline, so that helped. Without giving away any spoilers, I'll just say this movie definitely has twists and turns and keeps you wondering what the hell is going on. But it's good that it eventually makes sense and it all comes together and you're like "Oh I finally get it!" lol So it has many twists and turns in the plot, which is good so it doesn't get stale fast. But it does take awhile to get through all those twists and turns. So my overall review summary - lots of twists and turns, storyline keeps ya guessing, but only con is that the whole film runs a little slow to get through. So I'll go with seeing this as a rental, that's my recommendation for anyone has yet to see this. But that's just me.
V for Vendetta (2005)
Very action-packed, good stuff
At first since this was like a British-type of flick, or takes place entirely in the UK, you know what I mean, I was expecting cheesy British humor, slow acting, that kinda thing. I was completely wrong. Very action-packed, good acting, and it really hits home with world-issues like governments that control people when people should control governments. But, point being, really a good flick about a rebellious man who takes on his government who wants to rule the citizens. Good stuff, good stuff indeed. This is a flick I would recommend before it hit the rental stores. So, my summary - lots of action, good storyline indeed, and some love thrown into the mix as well. But that's just me.
Failure to Launch (2006)
Pretty much just a slow movie
I watched this and was hoping for at least a few good scenes of humor, but was sadly disappointed. They did have a few short clips in the movie of some funny scenes, but very short brief stints of humor added in here or there. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't looking for this to be just a pure comedy movie. But there are about 3, maybe 4 funny scenes, the rest, even the scenes that are supposed to be the romantic scenes, drag on forever and ever. So if you have a chance to see this movie, pass unless you're renting it in the $3 rental section. It just took forever to get through watching and not really bad acting, just - well it took forever to get through the movie. lol But I suppose if you're a big fan of Aniston or McConaghy, yeah I don't know how to spell his damn name, lol, then go ahead and see this. But if you're just looking for a romantic comedy, definitely skip this slow one and find something, anything, better. Bottom-line - funny scene here or there, but seriously drowned out and drowned over by the slow-moving pace of the film. But that's just me.
Sahara (2005)
Some Parts Unbelievable in reality, but overall a good comedy/action flick
Well I just finished watching the movie, and I must say it was a pretty good one overall. A few of the parts of the movie made me wonder about the believability of some scenes as far as reality goes. The usual a movie does to you, such as how the hell did they escape that or there's no way they could have survived that. Stuff like that. But Steve Zahn really played his part to a tee and made the movie pretty funny throughout the whole movie. He really added a good addition to the action flick as far comedy mixed in goes. But overall, a pretty decent action flick with frequent comedy thrown in here and there by Steve Zahn. Below are my pros and cons of the movie: Pros - Funny interaction between Steve Zahn and Matthew McConaughey and with Steve Zahn alone as well.
Good action all throughout the movie. Never really a dull moment.
Cons - Sometimes unrealistic as far as escapes or surviving shootouts.
So overall, I would recommend this movie regardless some of the escapes and whatnot are unrealistic. After all, it's a movie right? lol But that's just me.
Garfield: The Movie (2004)
Basic Kids Movie, They'll Love It, Parents Can't Wait Until It's Over
Well the only thing I can say about this is it's your basic kids' movie - parents'll think it's alright but can't wait until it's over, while the kids will love it most likely. Personally, as a 20-year-old adult male who enjoys kids' movies like Finding Nemo and whatnot, I thought it was alright. Kinda dragged in parts of the movie, but the humorous attitude of Garfield makes it bearable to take your kids to. So unless you got kids, I'd suggest it just as a rental when you got nothing to do on a Sunday night. Below are the overall pros and cons: Pros - Humorous spots with the attitude of Garfield, which basically saves the movie from being a total bust.
Cons - Often drags in spots, and mostly bearable for kids and adults who enjoy kids' movies every now and then. But that's just me.
Flightplan (2005)
Kinda Unbelievable script but good for mystery buffs
Well I just finished watching the movie and it was alright. Not bad. I liked the mystery it kept going throughout the whole movie. Really had some twists in it to say the least as far as who you're expecting to be bad and whatnot, stuff like that. But good mystery twists really overall. Now here's where the bad parts weigh in over the good mystery plot. Kinda slow in most parts of the movie, as far as moving along from scene to scene it drags a little to say the least. Also, the script, after seeing the entire movie, is pretty unbelievable as far as what's possible in reality goes. But hey it's a movie right? lol So as far as the overall pros and cons, they are listed below: Pros - Good mystery with a few twists and turns here and there.
Cons - Really unbelievable, impossible script as far as anything in the movie being possible in reality. Also drags and is pretty slow-moving as far as scene-to-scene throughout the entire movie, even in the action sequences.
So I suppose if you're into mystery plots, check this out as a rental. But otherwise, don't both unless you have nothing else to do on a Sunday night, like me. :D
