This Means War

By
What do you get when you take a CEO of a consumer product company and 2 CIA spies vying for her attention? War. In the new movie This Means War starring Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine 2 CIA operatives fall for the same girl and the comedy that ensues is spectacular.

Comedy movies like this one is all about happiness.  Happiness - depending on one’s state of mind when the read the word, could make one smile, cry or even want to throw something.  Happiness is something that I have been lacking in the past week and when I think back to the last time I was happy in the past week (besides scoring my hockey team’s winning goal with 8.6 seconds left!) it was when I went to see this movie.  It was hysterical. I found myself laughing harder than I have laughed at a movie in a long time. It might have been because I was in a movie theater with other people besides my fiancée but I like to think that the movie really was that funny.  I can’t wait to watch it again when it comes out because I can’t wait to laugh out loud again. 

It was a lighthearted romantic comedy that many people would simply write off. I am glad I didn’t.  It was over the top, explosive and some will say predictable but in the end it was highly entertaining and that is what a truly good movie is supposed to do – give you entertainment and take you out of your everyday life for 2 hours.

The Shadowhunter world is powerful. Not because of magic, steles, demons, or potions but of the emotions tied to every single character.  Cassandra Clare wielded such heartening characters in her books that bringing the world to the big and little screen seemed almost too much.  When the movie came out, it didn’t live up to the hype of many dedicated fans. Now with the show having gone through its 1st season (and the 2nd season on the horizon) the question is the same: can the producers of the show keep Clare’s world in tact and please everyone?  That is a resounding no. When the news first broke that The Mortal Instrument books series would be turned into a television show I was optimistic.  The feature film had a lot of buildup and hype. Unfortunately it did not live up to the majority’s expectations and fell flat when it was released.  I enjoyed it from a movie and entertainment viewpoint but when comparing it to the book it left something to be desired...

Sherlock Holmes At Your Service

By
In the world of modern science and technology, we sometimes forget how much intuition and extreme attention to detail was important in determining a murder or a thief before the newest advances in science. In the world of Sherlock Holmes, that attention to detail and intuition is what keeps him alive and gives him the title of most loved fictional detective. In the movie Sherlock Holmes , Robert Downey, Jr. plays the title character with Jude Law playing his trusty sidekick and occasional brunt of jokes, Dr. John Watson. The movie opens with Holmes and Watson catching a formidable opponent in the act of sacrificing a woman for a ritual – something this man has done 5 times before. The man is Lord Blackwood and the arrest is a highlight for Holmes as Lord Blackwood is to be put to death. Blackwood is hanged for his crimes and everyone sees him die – or so they thought. Later on, he is “seen” leaving his grave and around the town. Holmes is now curious so with his trusty sidekick, Wats...
