Relationships always have their ups and downs. Whenever you have a happy couple around it's always someone trying to bring you down. Like they always say misery loves company for some reason. For me personally I can tell when someone is a beer short of a six pack. They all have their own personal signs where you can tell they're a little off. I'm sure it's some type of statistic that shows that men are a little more crazy than women. Because whenever you hear about some type of domestic disturbance it's usually the man doing something. The funny part it's really shocking to the world when it's the woman that's doing the disturbing.
As you all know this movie is about a man Derek (Idris Elba) who is on top of his game in every aspect of his life. His beautiful stay at home mom Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles) who loves her little son. Everything is going great for them until Derek's office needs a temp and that's when it all goes down hill. When Lisa (Ali Larter) meet Derek in the elevator right then she knew what she wanted and was going to do whatever it took. They have their moment together when he does his little harmless flirting, but to her it was all she needed to hear. After that little talk she decided to take over his life.
To me it's a thin line between trying to be there for somebody and wanting them. I believe in the saying you can look but don't touch rule. I think that's all Derek was doing and she was the crazy one. I really don't think I can call this movie good or bad it's just very typical. Idris Elba is a pretty good actor and I can honestly say that Beyoncé did her best job out of all her movies yet. I'll put this movie in the chick flick category. This was or is a very hyped up movie so if you already spent your money at the theater sorry. If you haven't then just wait for a least the video store.

12 Rounds
Well, where do I start with this one. Whenever someone gets married one of the things you have to say is til death do us part. Your suppose to go all out for your spouse. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the love that you've created for each other before you got married. Sometimes it scares me how creative the writers are with some of these story's they write. This movie is a good guide to show you how much a husband should love his wife.
This movie is about a cop Det. Danny Fisher (John Cena) who is in love with his wife Molly(the hot girl? Ashley Scott). Det. Danny Fisher just ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time. The FBI has been looking for an arms dealer Miles Jackson (Aidan Gillen) for a long time. They seem to have him all cornered up but he still manages to get away. The FBI of course had to call the local department for assistance. Danny Fisher and his partner Det. Hank Carver (Brian White) was called to the seen. After a long chase Miles girlfriend was killed. A year later Miles breaks out of jail and plots revenge against Danny. Miles sends Danny through obstacles in order to get his wife back. Which is the reason it's called 12 rounds.
Can we say Die Hard 3? To me that is all this movie is but an updated version. I should apologize for comparing these movies but I'm not. You have the white cop whose wife is in trouble and is willing to do whatever it takes to get her back. The black man that's his partner and the only difference is one was a sarcastic man that owned a store. The other is a cop with a bad sense of humor. The bad guy is out for revenge on a plot that's just like Die Hard 3. The good thing is it's not as predictable. The action in the movie is non stop and quite interesting. If you're just an action person go and see this movie. If not keep your money and wait for it to come out on cable.

The Reader
As we grow up in this world, almost where ever you are, it's always cool to have someone older. I'm talking about having a girlfriend/boyfriend that's a couple of years older. It's the people that's around you that tell you that your heart is gonna get broken or something bad is gonna happen. In the cases that I've seen it's somehow true. I'm not really sure on why it happens but I have my own perception. That's what this movie is about, the heart break, secrets, and failure of an older relationship.
This is a interesting movie/chick flick because of the situation that Michael Berg (Ralph Fiennes and David Kross) puts himself in. Micheal was found by Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet) at the bottom of her apartment throwing up. He was sick from having scarlet fever and he came back to thank her. At that point they somehow lock eyes and falls in love with each other. Due to the fact that they're twenty years apart, she was thirty five and he was fifteen. That can make most people turn in their stomach. It was all about the sex (nudity) at the beginning of the relationship then she realized he had to give up something. It turns out that all she wanted was for him to read to her. Later in life Michael becomes a law student and runs into Hanna at an open trial that involves her in the concentration camp.
The Reader is one of those movies that go back and forth from past to present. At first it kind of confused me but it didn't take long. To me movies like that just keeps me on my toes. Kate Winslet won an award for this movie. I hope it was for her acting and not just because she was naked through the first thirty minutes of the movie. Overall I think this was a pretty good movie. Again I'm going to say if your a sleeper you may not want to watch this one. It's a long and slow movie with no action, besides the sex. If you already seen this movie at the theater I hope you think it was worth it. I can say its worth your video rental cash.

State of Play
Where will we be without the press? How would we ever know about anything thats none of our business? As a goverment official if your trying to hide something what's a better thing to have than a personal friend in the media. We the people will never know about the things that happen unless they want us to know. With this movie you'll get all the above.
This movie is about a Rep Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) who gets invloved with a girl on the side. Turns out not to be whats expected and defentely not worth it. His wife finds out of course through the media because she "commited sucide." After that happens it's all down hill for Stephen (Ben Affleck). Of course all writers want the big story so Stephen turns to his good friend Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe). Cal is a writer for a struggling news paper (which all papers are struggling now a days with the internet) and he wants to be there for his friend, the paper, plus career. Cal hears Stephen story and decides to looks a little deeper into it. Along with his news paper partner, the hot girl, Della Frye (Rachel McAdams) get involved more than the police know.
I agree with the public when I say this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire movie. I'm a easy catch when it comes to movies like that, I love suspenseful movies. It's one of my favorites because you neve know whats gonna happen. It dosen't really contain any violent seens, sex seens or anything thats keeps an average man interested. If your one of those people that needs a lot of action to keep you awake when watching movies, you may want to sit this one out. Like I do in my reviews I'm gonna tell you this movie is worth whatever you have to spend at your local theater.

Obeserve and Report
As I walk through the mall a couple of things go through my mind. Besides the normal things that everyone else think about like clothes and the people. I can't help but to think about some of the movies that involved malls. The blues brothers when they drove the cars through the mall getting chased by the police. Dawn of the Dead when the people was trapped in the mall and all the zombies was trying to get in. Now the latest Mall Cop when Paul Mart is a security officer that's motivated to become a real cop. Runs into some people trying to break into the mall and saves the day.
Observe and Report has a lot of similarities besides there both mall cops. In the movie Ronnie Barnhardt (Steth Morgan) is a really ambitious security officer who is also trying to get into the police force. Detective Harrison (Ray Liotta) is the anal cop who messes with Ronnie Barnhardt all through the movie. I guess the hot girl is Brandi (Anna Faris) and she works in the malls department store. I think she's a pretty funny person in her other movies like the "scary movies". In this one she isn't that funny just has some funny parts.
The movie it self is really blown out of proportion. Everything is such a big deal, the whole movie is about some pervert who runs around outside the mall naked. Showing his goods to every woman he see, the funniest parts of the movie. Ronnie (Seth Morgan) is a tad bit over board with his obsession wit becoming a cop. Has a drunken mother who shows no sign of being a good parent but tries to be there for her son.
As the producer, writer, or whoever decided to bring this movie out at this time knows that everyone in the world is going to compare this movie. I'm going give in and also do it. I say that I like Mall Cop a little better because its a little more real compared to Observe and Report. I don't want to judge Seth Morgan yet but he does a lot better in a movie than staring in one as the main charter. I think I will have to say you might want to wait for this to come out on dvd before you spend your movie money.

Fighting
Well, lets talk about this movie "Fighting". The movie stars Channing Tatum, pretty boy Terrence Howard and with the hot chick role Zulay Henao. I can confess, like most people in America, I thought this was gonna be another Karate Kid or Never Back Down. It wasn't as bad as I assumed it was gonna be.
The movie is about a young street kid who moved to New York from somewhere down south. To start over his life, I don't want to get into details about it. I don't to mess the movie up for anybody that wants to see it.
Something that really got to me was the way Harvey Boarden (Terrence Howard) talked all through the movie. I don't know why it just didn't sound real to me. I haven't seen Channing Tatum play in nothing else so I really can't judge him on his acting. This movie he did pretty well in I guess for a movie about fighting and being the fighter.
To sum it all up, if your just a movie fan and if you like fighting movies go see it. I'm not saying it's going to go down in history but it's worth your money.
