John & Becky's Movie Review Of Fast & Furious 4

fast-and-furious-poster-2Becky and I went to see Fast & Furious 4, at the AMC theater in Highlands Ranch, CO on opening night. The Fandango Georgia Rule buy website at Fast & Furious describes the movie as follows…

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker return to the film franchise that helped to launch each of their respective careers as the Fast and the Furious series winds to a close under the creative eye of Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift director Justin Lin. Fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) is back in Los Angeles to seek out the truth behind a high-profile crime, but his presence in town doesn’t sit well with Agent Brian O’Conner (Walker)…

The Review 
Fast & Furious 4 Nomad on dvd Zathura: A Space Adventure ipod

Vampires vs. Zombies video  is a guy flick for sure.  Beautiful women, muscle cars, fast cars, plenty of adrenaline and action from start to finish.  The story is a continuation of the previous films with Vin Diesel’s character running from the law and Paul Walker’s character working for the FBI undercover to catch the bad guys.

Goblin Network AdThere was a waiting line to get into this film and it was pretty much sold out at AMC when we went to the theater.  Of course, what does that say about our society when there is a waiting line to get into see the fourth installment of this film.  I was surprised there was enough content to make four of these movies, but it’s all about the action and the cars.

There is plenty of action and a bunch of extremely far fetched scenes, like most action films, but it wasn’t as bad as many that we’ve seen in the action genre over the years.

If you’re a car fan, you’ll love this film because there are so many great vehicles.  You will also scratch your head a few times and say, “That’s not possible!”, but it’s still pretty darn fun.  There are few parts of the film that should have made it rated R instead of PG-13.  They definitely pushed the ratings envelope with this one.  It was funny though listening to some of the teenagers talk about the cars they couldn’t afford and one of them said to his buddies, “I can watch that movie at least five more times!”

and I could see it again too.

I was surprised Becky liked it as much as she did.  I thought for sure she was just seeing it for me.  If you’re a car guy, it’s a Don’t Miss It, otherwise it was Worth The Trip.

John & Becky’s Movie Review Of Adventureland

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 Monsters vs. Aliens

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

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 Miss March

missmarch_smallteaserBecky and I went to see Miss March last week, at the AMC theater in Highlands Ranch, CO. The Yahoo website at Miss March describes the movie as follows:

“A young man awakens from a four-year coma to hear that his once virginal high-school sweetheart has since become a centerfold in one of the world’s most famous men’s magazines. He and his sex-crazed best friend decide to take a cross-country road trip in order to crash a party at the magazine’s legendary mansion headquarters and win back the girl…”

The Review The Aviator psp

Needful Things on dvd

Miss March The Mask release is in the top running for one of the worst movies of the year. Which is why I waited to write a review about it since I didn’t really care. There was so much crude humor that it was unbelievable. The story was nuts, the acting was terrible, the script was bad and Hugh Hefner is getting so old that he’s starting to look like Vincent Price.

Goblin Network AdIt is very rare when Becky and I agree with the Hollywood Critics, but in this case they are spot on. This movie was terrible. There are a couple scenes in this film that will be stuck in my head for a very long time and I’m not so sure that’s a good thing.

As one reviewer for Entertainment Weekly wrote, “Writer-director-stars Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore, of the Whitest Kids U’Know, here prove the crassest, most maladroit moviemakers you know.”

Don’t waste your time or money on this one.  Becky said, “We should have read our review first.”.
