John & Becky’s Movie Review Of Hannah Montana: The Movie

Leave a comment

hannah-montanaBecky and I took the kids to see Hannah Montana: The Movie

Georgia Rule on dvd

last week at the Kerasotes theaters in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango website at Hannah Montana describes the movie as follows:

“Director Peter Chelsom takes the Disney Channel phenom to the big screen in a feature film extravaganza. Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) struggles to juggle school, friends and her secret pop-star persona; when Hannah Montana’s soaring popularity threatens to take over her life – she just might let it. So her father (Billy Ray Cyrus) takes the teen home to Crowley Corners, Tenn., for a dose of reality, kicking off an adventure filled with the kind of fun, laughter and romance even Hannah Montana couldn’t imagine..”

The Review
Hannah Montana: The Movie is a great new movie starring Miley Cyrus and her real life Dad Billy Ray Cyrus.  It’s about her fictitious character Miley Stewart who plays the character Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel and the challenges the young girl faces being a superstar.

Goblin Network AdThe story was great and there is a very good moral message about the importance of family and not getting caught up in fame and fortune.  The movie was very well done and we all enjoyed it and thought it was Worth The Trip.  Bianca of course, is a huge Hannah Montana fan, so she liked it more than any of us, but it was a great family film.

I was surprised that our boys liked it too and it’s very clean cut movie with great music and plenty of fun.

John & Becky’s Movie Review Of Adventureland

Leave a comment

adventurelandBecky and I had the kids sleep over at my brother’s tonight, so we decided to see Adventureland Cinderella Man rip , at the AMC theater in Highlands Ranch, CO. The Fandango website at Adventureland describes the movie as follows…

It’s the summer of 1987, and James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg), an uptight recent college grad, can’t wait to embark on his dream tour of Europe. But when his parents (Wendie Malick and Jack Gilpin) announce they can no longer subsidize his trip , James has little choice but to take a lowly job at a local amusement park. Forget about German beer, world-famous museums and cute French girls-James’ summer will now be populated by belligerent dads, stuffed pandas, and screaming kids high on cotton candy…

The Review
Adventureland is promoted by the studio as a comedy with a few actors from Saturday Night Live, so we were expecting a comedy. Instead of a comedy, we got a two hour drama that was more depressing and boring than actually funny.

Becky and I saw the trailer for this movie a number of times and thought it was going to be a pretty fun flick, but the best thing Goblin Network Adabout this movie were the cars. There was a Pacer that one of the main characters drove and a Plymouth Duster was driven by another of the characters. That’s pretty sad when the most exciting thing in the movie are those two vehicles! There were a couple funny parts, but overall it was a very lame attempt at comedy.

One of the main character’s Mom had died and her Dad had married a bald woman to replace her Mother, so she was whacked out and sleeping with a married guy.  The other main character was super smart, but smoked dope the entire movie and was working at Adventureland to try to raise money to go to graduate school at an Ivy League school where he had been accepted.  Another really pretty girl in the film was an air head who’s Dad had lost his job and she was whacked out.  The entire movie was about a bunch of misfits who had to work at this lame amusement park and their lives were depressing.

We can’t even recommend Adventureland as a good rental. Our advice is to skip this flick all together and you’ll be glad that you didn’t waste your time or money. It’s sure to be showing up on one of the cable channels as a late night movie sooner than later, so if you’re really bored some night you can tune in then.

John & Becky’s Movie Review Of 12 Rounds

Leave a comment

12roundsposter1Last week Becky and I decided to go see the new movie with John Cena called 12 Rounds, at the Kerasotes theater in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango website at 12 Rounds describes the movie as follows.

WWE star John Cena headlines his sophomore action picture as a police officer whose wife is kidnapped in New Orleans. Daniel Kunka provides the script, with Deep Blue Sea’s Renny Harlin handling the directing duties for the 20-million-dollar Fox Atomic/WWE Films production. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide…

The Review The Merry Gentleman movie
12 Rounds stars another professional wrestler turned movie star, John Cena, as an ordinary cop with amazing abilities.  His character finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time and ends up busting a mass murderer by accident.  In the process of the arrest he accidentally gets the criminal’s girlfriend killed while trying to arrest them both.  It wasn’t really his fault, but the bad guy thinks he was responsible and is out for revenge.

Goblin Network Ad12 Rounds is like a cross between a Bruce Willis Die Hard film and Speed, if you ever saw that one, with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves.  There is plenty of action and excitement as you go on 12 Rounds of mayhem caused by the bad guy sending the cop on wild goose chases around the city to prevent potential disasters from taking place.

The movie has some great plot twists and it’s actually pretty exciting and not a bunch of sex or swearing in the film, just plenty of non-stop action.  We both thought it was pretty entertaining and although we didn’t know the actor from his wrestling career, he pulled off this character really well.

Becky and I both thought 12 Rounds was Worth The Trip and if you don’t get a chance to see it in the theater, be sure and put it on your rental list.  We both like action flicks, so this one lived up to its expectations.

John & Becky's Movie Review Of Monsters vs. Aliens

Leave a comment

monstersvsaliensposterBecky and I took the kids to see Monsters vs. Aliens on Saturday, along with a few other neighbor kids for Conroy’s Birthday, at the Kerasotes theaters in Castle Rock, CO. The Yahoo

website at Monsters vs Aliens The Merry Gentleman ipod describes the movie as follows:

“When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound…”

The Review
Monsters vs. Aliens is another great Dreamworks animated film that is knocking it doing monstrous sales at the box office. Like Shrek and other Dreamworks flicks, this one is very entertaining and had a great story to go along with the animation. It’s also available in 3D, but we cheaped out and didn’t spring for the $9 for the 3D version. We spoke with a number of friends who saw it in 3D and said it was worth the extra dough, so keep that in mind if you decide to go see it.

Goblin Network Ad Observe and Report movie download By now, you’ve probably seen the commercials for Monsters vs. Aliens and there are plenty of funny scenes to keep you laughing. There’s some good adult humor too, like the “convenient truth” line was a pretty good one from the Missing Link. If you don’t pay attention you’ll probably miss some of them.

The kids loved this movie and I’m sure we’ll be buying it when it hits the DVD racks. In the meantime, it’s definitely Worth The Trip and probably a Don’t Miss It.

John & Becky's Movie Review Of Knowing

Leave a comment

knowingBecky and I went to see Knowing this week, at the Kerasotes theater in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango website at Knowing

Almost Famous full

describes the movie as follows.

Academy Award® Winner Nicolas Cage (National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Leaving Las Vegas) stars in KNOWING, a gripping action-thriller of global proportions about a professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the future—and sets out to prevent them from coming true.

The Review
Knowing is Nicolas Cage’s latest attempt at a blockbuster film.  There are parts of it that are pretty good, with some suspenseful elements of the movie.  As his character follows this sheet of numbers and major catastrophe’s take place it gets a bit nuts.  Then the aliens start to come into the picture and it’s all downhill from there.

You quickly lose interest in the film as you realize that Knowing isn’t about some guy who finds a piece of paper with events taking place.  It’s really about a group of angels or aliens on spaceships coming to save the human race and populate a planet with our species.  Kind of like a modern day version of Noah’s Ark with spaceships.  This will happen before the world is completely destroyed by a blast from a gigantic solar flare.

Goblin Network Ad buy Breakfast at Tiffany’s Maybe our problem with Knowing is that we just knew too much.   Maybe we didn’t know enough or just maybe it’s something we just didn’t want to know at all.

Whatever the reason for what we knew, you can know this for sure.  Knowing isn’t worth the price of admission, but it may make a good Rental.  Had we known this before we went into the theater, we know that we would have saved some money on this one.

John & Becky’s Movie Review Of Duplicity

Leave a comment

duplicityI still need to write a review for Escape to Witch Mountain that we saw last week, but in the meantime, Becky and I went to see Duplicity last night, at the AMC theater in Highlands Ranch, CO. The Rotten Tomatoes website at Duplicity describes the movie as follows.

The Review Mad Money trailer
Duplicity Garden State download is an entertaining and smart drama that is a bit more like a romantic comedy with the chemistry between the two big stars. In some ways it’s like most other Julia Roberts films, since she tends to play the same character all the time. Duplicity reminded me a little bit like Ocean’s Eleven since the two main characters are trying to pull off a heist.

The biggest complaint that most people will have with Duplicity is that it jumps around a bunch. The acting is good, there is some swearing that wasn’t really necessary and plenty of romance in the bedroom, but those scenes are in good taste. The photography is good, but the editing does a number of those split screens with too many things going on at once. It’s a bit like being at a sports bar at times or having a bunch of windows open on your computer as you try to keep track off all the things happening.

Goblin Network AdBecky and I both liked it and we met our friend Angie Hotzfield and her sister Barbara, who were also there. They both liked it too, but be prepared to figure out what’s going on. Don’t leave to go to the bathroom or you may not figure this one out. It’s a fun flick that we thought was Worth The Trip. I’m trying to talk Becky into going to see “I Love You Man”, “Knowing” looks pretty stupid, so we’ll probably skip that one.
