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.

John & Becky's Movie Review Of Yes Man

Leave a comment

Yes ManBecky and I went to see Yes Man on Friday at the AMC theater in Highlands Ranch, CO.  The Yahoo movie website at Yes Man Candy dvdrip describes the movie as follows.

“A man signs up for a self-help program based on one simple principle: say yes to everything… and anything. At first, unleashing the power of “yes” transforms his life in amazing and unexpected ways, but he soon discovers that opening up his life to endless possibilities can have its drawbacks…”

The Review
Yes Man is another strange Jim Carrey film that is almost the same movie as Liar, Liar where he could only tell the truth. In this film, his character goes to a self-help seminar and now he can only say Yes to everything.

There are some very funny parts in the film and you actually start to really like the movie along with his bizarre girlfriend as it starts to shape up as a fun romantic comedy. Unfortunately, it then takes a very sour turn with a few parts that are nothing less than over-the-top crude sexual humor with him getting intimate with some old lady. It’s ridiculous and really wrecked the movie the way that they did it.

White Nights trailer

Yes Man Arabian Adventure move is definitely funny, so don’t get me wrong. I’m just amazed that they would make a PG-13 movie with crude sexual scenes and they used the “F” word at least once in the film. They don’t have to do that, so the Director is a moron. It should have been rated R. They should know that people are paying to see a movie that they may be bringing their kids to without having to be put in an uncomfortable position.

It’s also just too much like Liar, Liar and his other goofy films, so we would suggest waiting for the rental or don’t bother.

John & Becky's Movie Review Of RocknRolla

Leave a comment

RocknRollaBecky and I went to see RocknRolla this weekend at the AMC theaters in Highlands Ranch, CO. The Fandango movie website at RocknRolla

Katyn film

describes the movie as follows:

“When a Russian mobster orchestrates a crooked land deal, millions of dollars are up for grabs, and all of London’s criminal underworld wants in on the action. Everyone from a dangerous crime lord to a sexy accountant, a corrupt politician and down-on-their-luck petty thieves conspire, collude and collide with one another in an effort to get rich quick…”

The Review
RocknRolla

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York hd is the new Guy Ritchie film that falls into the genre of Action Comedy, Caper and Crime. It’s not very funny by any stretch. The language is rough and there is more than one disturbing situation because of the fact that it deals with mobsters and a wild bunch of criminals. With a name like RocknRolla and Rock and Roll being known for sex and drugs, I guess the expectation of this movie is in the title itself only add some violence.

Goblin Network AdThere were parts of this movie that I thought were done very well and actually liked, but other parts that I disliked. Becky would agree, but I don’t think she liked much about RocknRolla at all.

It’s too violent at times and the language is definitely European. I say that because so few movies I’ve seen done in Europe do not have bad language. From watching most European movies like this one, you would swear that the people who in invented the English language know longer know how to use it. However, it is a gangster movie and there are some violent scenes in this one.

This movie is definitely a mixed bag. You will have some people who will really like it and others who will hate it. I don’t think there will be many who are in between. I liked it enough to recommend it to a certain audience because this movie is not for just anyone. If you side with Becky most of the time be sure and take her advice. If you side with me on most of the films we go see than you might like this one.
