Becky and I went to see the movie, 21 Jump Street this Friday at the AMC Theaters in Castle Rock, CO.  The MovieFone website at 21 Jump Street describes the movie as follows…

” In the action-comedy ’21 Jump Street,’ Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go… “

The Review
21 Jump Street stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, which is a rather odd partnership for a comedy.  Especially for Channing Tatum since he typically does more serious roles like Dear John and The Vow that he recently did with Rachel McAdams.

They are actually very funny together though in this movie and have good chemistry as friends with nothing really in common.  The characters are a crack-up together and they obviously had pretty good Screenwriters.  This movie has plenty of laughs, but it is definitely rated R for some of the crude humor, the language and some of the violence in the film.  Even the way they did the violence though was funny.

The biggest complaint about the movie is that is totally insane at times with the humor, but it’s still funny.   Channing’s character is a bit too stupid at the beginning of the film, to the level of being totally clueless, but this does make the film funny.  Jonah’s character is the super smart “nerd”, who was picked on in High School and when they go back he views it as a second chance.  The challenge for both of them is they are undercover cops now and the dynamics of High School have changed since they were there last.

Becky and I really liked this movie, but as I mentioned already be prepared for some crude humor at times and foul language, a bit like American Pie, if you’ve seen that film.  It delivered as a goofy comedy, but it’s not a film for everyone, so be forewarned that the bad language, some violence and crude humor may bother you, so you may want to pass on this movie.

Becky and I went to see the movie, John Carter this weekend at the AMC Theaters in Castle Rock, CO.  The MovieFone website at John Carter describes the movie as follows…

“From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes ‘John Carter’–a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars.”

The Review
John Carter is a new flick by Disney about a former Confederate soldier living in the late 1800’s, who gets transported to Mars while searching for gold and accidentally killing an alien being.  Once he’s on the Red Planet called Barsoom, he discovers that he’s in the middle of an alien civil war.  He also soon learns that gravity doesn’t have the same effect on him and he has what amounts to super human strength and the ability to jump great distance.

This movie had action from start to finish and two beautiful actors, but it’s a bit like a modern day Star Wars with the war and the aliens, the evil Empire, etc.  I half expected to see Darth Vader appear on the screen.  It had a pretty good story and was somewhat entertaining, but it was way too long.  Becky ended up falling asleep and she actually left the movie to go see part of the new Eddie Murphy movie, she disliked John Carter that much.

Becky didn’t like this movie at all and I thought it was pretty good, but not enough to rate it worth the trip, unless you’re a big time science fiction fan otherwise you may not like this movie.

Becky and I went to see the movie, The Artist last week ago at the AMC Theaters in Highlands Ranch, CO.  The MovieFone website at The Artist describes the movie as follows…

“Hollywood 1927. George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion.”

The Review
The Artist won the Oscar for Best Picture this year, so Becky and I figured we had better go see it.  We were not interested in seeing a silent film, let alone a black and white silent film, but we had to go in with an open mind.

The story was very well done.  It’s about a silent movie film star who finds himself being cast aside when talking films start becoming popular.  However, there’s a woman who he helps break into the movies, while he’s still a big star and famous.  She ends up become a major movie star and he ends up losing everything.  This creates a great deal of drama, that you can appreciate even though the film is silent.

Becky and I both really liked this movie, which surprised both of us since we both had low expectations.  It was definitely worth the price of admission and a great experience.

Becky and I took the kids to see the new movie Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax at the AMC Theater in Castle Rock, CO last week.  The MovieFone website at Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax describes the movie as follows…

“From the creators of ‘Despicable Me’ and the imagination of Dr. Seuss comes the 3D-CG feature ‘Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax,’ an adaptation of the classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope.”

The Review
The Lorax is a new Dr. Suess film about his character The Lorax, who protects the trees and the adventures that ensue related to saving the trees.  The characters in this movie are really good, the animation is great and the story is very good.

The Lorax is a story that deals with what happens when you destroy your resources for profit, until there are not any resources left.  In this case, the resources are trees and one man has built a business from destroying them, while another man has created an empire selling people clean air since there are no trees to make clean air.  In between the two of them are a young girl who wants to see a tree and a boy who has a crush on her, who will find her one.

This was a great movie.  We all really liked it and thought it was a fun film for the whole family with a good message and quite a few laughs.

Becky and I went to see the movie, Act of Valor two weeks ago at the AMC Theaters in Highlands Ranch, CO with our running buddy Mark.  The MovieFone website at Act of Valor describes the movie as follows…

” An unprecedented blend of real-life heroism and original filmmaking, ‘Act of Valor’ stars a group of active-duty U.S. Navy SEALs in a film like no other in Hollywood’s history.”

The Review
Act of Valor is being sold as the first movie that has ever used “active-duty” U.S. Navy SEALs to film the movie.  Unfortunately, U.S. Navy SEALs are not trained actors.  You could almost see them reading cue cards at times, half expecting them to pull out notes.  That didn’t help the movie by any stretch, even if we are all thankful for their courage and service.

On the other hand the story had plenty of action and some amazing scenes like a fire-fight in a river that was pretty incredible.  However, the movie jumps around quite a bit showing tactical moves of how our military takes out the bad guys to protect our citizens.  It also shows the dangers that our men of valor are taking to keep another 911 from happening.  They also showed at the end how many men have died protecting our country with the movie being a tribute to them.

For that reason, I thought the movie was pretty good and it’s definitely a good rental.  I can’t recommend it as a good film though at the box office.  Becky didn’t like this movie at all and thought it was a don’t bother.
