John & Becky’s Movie Review Of From Paris With Love

Becky and I went to see the new John Travolta movie From Paris With Love this Weekend at the Kerasotes theaters in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango website at From Paris With Love describes the movie as follows:

“A low-ranking intelligence operative (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) working in the office of the U.S. Ambassador in France takes on more than he bargained for when he partners with a wisecracking, fast-shooting, high-ranking U.S. agent (John Travolta) who’s been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack…”

The Review
From Paris With Love is the new John Travolta flick that came out this weekend and we were surprised by this movie. There is plenty of violence and it’s quite graphic at times, but the story and the characters were really interesting. It’s directed by the same guy who did Transporter and Transporter 2, so there are some action sequences with the beloved Audi again, with a great chase scene.

it’s violent like the Transporter and Taken movies that Pierre Morel Directed and John Travolta’s character is violent, but very funny that helps alleviate the violence. He does a great job with his main character and so does Jonathan Rhys-Meyers who plays his side-kick, analytical, wanna-be secret agent.  The film has plenty of twists and turns with a good story. There are a number of parts that are not believable, as you might expect in an action film.

Overall, this movie was a surprise. It’s probably a rental for most people, but we both liked the film for an action flick, other than the violence being a bit over-the-top at times. We would have to say that it was Worth The Trip though.

John & Becky’s Movie Review of Old Dogs

olddogsBecky and I took the kids to see the new John Travolta and Robin Williams movie Old Dogs last week at the AMC theaters in Highlands Ranch, CO for Thanksgiving. The Yahoo website at Old Dogs describes the movie as follows:

“Two best friends — one unlucky-in-love divorcee and the other a fun-loving bachelor — have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of 7-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins, leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what’s really important in life…”

The Review
Old Dogs is another movie that the “Critics” didn’t like at all. Most of them giving it a D for a rating, but once again we have to disagree with their reviews. Old Dogs is a very silly movie and most of it is pretty ridiculous, but it’s funny with plenty of laughs for a family film. Our kids thought it was a riot and John Travolta and Robin Williams characters are a good mix together for this comedy. There are plenty of laughs and they even poke fun at their age.

This is not a movie that you’ll be mentally stimulated by, but that’s not the purpose. You also won’t see some whacko’ running around slicing people up with a chainsaw or some of the other crap that Hollywood puts out as entertainment either. Old Dogs is a clean movie with some good old fashioned humor and some really funny parts like Robin Williams tattoo on his chest is a crackup.

The kids and Becky liked it much more than I did, but I still thought it was entertaining enough to rate it as a really good rental.

John & Becky's Movie Review Of The Taking Of Pelham 123

Pelham 123Becky and I went to a charity event tonight over near the Landmark Theater with our friend Walt Oleski and after going to the function we couldn’t resist going to catch a movie. There’s a surprise, eh? We went to see the new movie, The Taking of Pelham 123 at the Landmark theater in Englewood, CO. The Fandango website at The Taking of Pelham 123 describes the movie as follows:

“A group of hijackers take a subway train and its passengers hostage, threatening to kill them if their ransom is not paid of 1 million dollars.”

The Review Sweet Land film

13: Game of Death the movie


The Taking of Pelham 123 is a movie about a group of terrorists who take over a subway car and hold it for ransom for ten million dollars. The entire movie is about this event and not about anything else. It’s a remake of an older film from 1974 with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw, which I’m going to want to see because I think it will be much better than this one.

Don’t get me wrong, the acting in this flick was phenomenal. John Travolta proves that he can play a woman or a terrorist and he was amazing in this role as a whack job. You don’t like his character at all since he is a very evil dude.

Goblin Network AdThe story was somewhat interesting, but you never get attached emotionally to the characters and the language is harsh. The language is so bad that it distracts from the film.  By the end of the movie you’re not really feeling like you watched a great action movie or thriller, but you’re glad that it’s over. It’s just not fun and really pretty pointless.

Becky and I both didn’t like it that much. We thought it was at best a rental, but probably more like a Don’t Bother. The acting is the only thing this movie has going for it and as good as it is with Denzel Washington and John Travolta, they just can’t carry the movie.
