HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU- This movie was hilarious and very well put together. It honestly touches base on various different scenarios in the dating world. I felt like somebody finally got it right in the film! This movie is based off of a best Selling novel, and the writer is friends with the creators of Sex and the City. I think if any of you have ever experienced dating in this day and age, you have come across some of these situations. Sitting, waiting, wishing for that one special person’s phone call, wondering if they are really into you or not. Big Love’s Ginnifer Goodwin plays a spunky spice editor who is helpless when it comes to dating. From trying to “run” into someone at the known Sports Bar he goes to, to leaving long and rambling messages just trying to get something in return. She
then runs into Kevin Connolly (the guy she *thinks* she is in love with)’s best friend and restaurant/bar owner Justin Long who helps Goodwin’s character through these horrible dating situations. Romance blossoms in some cases, and in others it just fizzles out.Bradley Cooper plays the married man in this film, who felt like he jumped into marriage too soon. His wife however seemed like she could have cared less when he tells her he slept with Scarlett Johansson, but is more concerned and trying to figure out if he has taken to Smoking again. Whereas Ben Affleck who has been dating and living with Jennifer Aniston for over seven years, refuses to Marry. This upsets Jennifer Aniston, since she is helping plan her baby sisters wedding.
This film is filled with ups and downs and honest to goodness goes through almost every situation you could ever imagine. I had free tickets to this film the first time, and paid the full $8.50 for the second time. I would highly recommend this film to anyone in the mood for a cute romantic comedy, that the men are sure to enjoy themselves!
TAKEN- Liam Neeson plays an ex spy who worked for the government whose daughter goes to France for the summer and gets kidnapped. Neeson does not have a very strong relationship with his daughter, and is hesitant to let her go away. Part of the arrangement is that she has to call every night before bed, and let him know every place she goes. When he checks her arriving flight to Paris and sees that she still has yet to call, he gets frantic and continues to call. She finally ans
wers, and goes into the bathroom to get away from the loud music blaring and witnesses her best friend being kidnapped. Her father walks her through whats going to happen and decided that at this point it is revenge.With Neeson flying across the world to rescue his baby girl, a lot is uncovered including corruption within the police department, and a huge underground mob/prostitution/drug ring. He has very few hours to uncover everything before it’s too late and looses his daughter forever. This film was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat. If you are in the mood for a great thriller action packed film check this out! It is definitely a theatre must see, especially for the sound quality alone!
CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC- based off the book by Sophie Kinsella, Ilsa Fisher plays a shopaholic that owes over $16,000 in debt due to her addiction. The tra
ilers made this film look appealing but I would not recommend wasting your money. I felt as thought his film was all way to predictable and that it dragged on forever. Fisher’s character plays a young mid-twenties girl whose dream is to write for an upscale fashion magazine, but mistakenly lands a job for a financial magazine. This coming from a girl, who cannot pay any of her bills (including rent), and has a collections officer after her for a debt over $9,000. The antics this collections guy will go through to get his commission on this case is ridiculous and dragged on. I normally like “chick” flicks and what not, but this did not entice me at all. Personally I would not waste my money to see this again, but if you must subject yourself to it, wait for either a dollar film or Red Box.
