John & Becky’s Movie Review of Untraceable

UntraceableBecky and I went to see Untraceable at the AMC theaters in Highlands Ranch, Colorado on Friday night. The Yahoo website at Untraceable describes the movie as follows:

“Within the FBI, there exists a division dedicated to investigating and prosecuting criminals on the internet. Welcome to the front lines of the war on cyber-crime, where Special Agent Jennifer Marsh has seen it all–until now. A tech-savvy internet predator is displaying his graphic murders on his own website–and the fate of each of his tormented captives is left in the hands on the public: the more hits his site gets, the faster his victims die. When this game of cat and mouse becomes personal, Marsh and her team must race against the clock to track down this technical mastermind who is virtually untraceable.”

The Review
Untraceable should have been called Unbearable. This movie was disturbing and gruesome and it moved really slow. The ways the maniac in the film tortures people and how millions of Internet viewers tune into watch him kill was sick. Frankly, we should have got up and left after the first 20 minutes and if we had to watch again we wouldn’t.

The only thing good about this movie was Diane Lane and it’s too bad she got roped into such a terrible and horrific story. The acting was good, the directing was even okay, but the story was really bad.

Our advice is to skip this movie, even if you’re a Diane Lane fan.

John & Becky’s Movie Review of 27 Dresses

27 DressesBecky and I went to see 27 Dresses at the Kerasotes theater in Castle Rock, Colorado this Friday. The Yahoo website at 27 Dresses The Hitcher II: I’ve Been Waiting buy describes the movie as follows:

“Jane is idealistic, romantic and completely selfless–a perennial bridesmaid whose own happy ending is nowhere in sight. But when younger sister Tess captures the heart of Jane’s boss–with whom she is secretly in love–Jane begins to reexamine her “always-a-bridesmaid…” lifestyle.”

The Review
27 Dresses is a cute chick flick with good acting and a different kind of love story. Many parts of the film have been done before, on the movie wedding circuit, but this one is unique with the fact that Heigl plays this woman obsessed with marriage and has actually kept 27 dresses from each wedding she has attended. She does a fantastic job in the role and definitely makes the film.

There are a few twists and turns in 27 Dresses and it’s not a great movie, but it is fun. Becky and I both enjoyed the movie and thought it was worth seeing on the big screen, but if you want to wait for the rental it will make for a good one.

John & Becky’s Movie Review of The Bucket List

Bucket ListBecky and I went to see The Bucket List at the AMC theater in Highlands Ranch, Colorado this past weekend. The Fandango website at Bucket List describes the movie as follows:

“Two terminally ill men try to fulfill a wish list known as “The Bucket List” before each kicks the bucket. After they break out of a cancer ward, they head off on a road trip with an itinerary that includes racing cars, eating giant plates of caviar and slinging poker chips in Monte Carlo.”

The Review
The Bucket List is a good flick with plenty of emotion, but I didn’t think it was a great flick. Probably because the movie studio gave away so much of the film in the Previews that the jokes and interesting parts of the film were less funny and compelling when we saw them on the big screen. I didn’t think that it was very believable and probably would have been better if the characters were not from such different walks of life. Becky disagreed and thought it made sense seeing that they are both terminally ill. She really liked the film and would rate it a Don’t Miss It where I thought it was Worth The Trip.

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman were both great in this movie, but for a while there you almost think the two of them are a little too close for not knowing each that well. It gets a bit weird at times, but it redeems itself in the end. I started to wonder why they were going all over the world, it started losing the point after a while. Also, there is no way they would be doing all the things they were doing with such a short time to live. I wasn’t convinced their health would hold out as long as it did.

Anyway, it was still worth the price of admission and I think Becky liked it more than I did. I thought it was a good flick though.

John & Becky’s Movie Review of Juno

JunoBecky and I went to see Juno

Keith dvd at the Kerasotes theater in Castle Rock, Colorado this past weekend. The Yahoo website at Juno describes the movie as follows:

“Juno is a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker. With the help of her hot best friend Leah, Juno finds her unborn child a “perfect” set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa, longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.”

The Review
Juno is a great little independent film with plenty of laughs and emotion from start to finish. Sure, it’s very unrealistic that this girl would actually respond to life the way she does, but who cares, the situations and the way the imaginary world that has been created unfolds in this movie is fantastic.

We went with our friends Rod and Kimberly and we all enjoyed it. It’s one of those movies that will have you talking about it at the end of the film and making comments about how clever it was done. Kind of like a “Meet The Parents’ movie where nothing is very realistic, but it’s hilarious because of the way the characters respond to one another.

The writer of this script deserves an award because there wasn’t one character in this movie that you couldn’t relate to in some way. From the desperate yuppie couple wanting to adopt a child, to the dysfunctional family Juno comes from, to her “get a clue” cheerleader girlfriend, and her nerdy boyfriend, these people are a riot.

Juno is definitely one of the best films of the year in my opinion. At least, it’s the best Independent film I’ve seen this year and I would say it’s a don’t miss it. However, there are some people that won’t relate to the humor or the story and others who will stick up their nose at it. Nevertheless, I think most people will get a kick out of this flick.
