BLENDED REVIEW

Now I know what your thinking, is this another "Grown Ups 2", "Little Nicky", or "Jack And Jill"? The answer is luckily: No.  However this is not the caliber of a "Wedding Singer" and "50 First Dates". What we have here is a movie that was meant to be a cable movie. Blended is a  movie that is not terrible but not good. Here's the story. 

  

Adam Sandler plays Jim, a man who has lost his wife and is a single dad with 3 daughters. Drew Barrymore plays Lauren, a single mom with 2 kids who was recently divorced. Jim and Lauren go on a blind date but it doesn't work out as they anticipated, they end up hating each other. However, when the go on errands for their children, they keep bumping into each other. Another twists is that Lauren's friend is in a relashionship with Jim's boss!   Jim's Boss wants to go on a vacation in Africa with Lauren's friend.  Lauren's friend declines, due to the fact that Jim's boss Dick didn't tell her that he has children. She gets mad at him and decides to cancel. Somehow both Jim and Lauren end up going on the trip for free, but in different groups.  (Not sure how this all happens, again, a cable movie).    They end up seeing each other. and madness ensues from there and we see a love blossom between them. 

Now I have mostly complaints and a couple good things to say about this film. Lets start with the complaints because I'm sure you wanna know. The first act isn't funny. They have jokes in the film they keep repeating that gets so old after the second time. Drew Barrymore's kids are so Annoying and such bad actors! Kevin Nealon (not sure what his role in the film is) has some funny jokes and some really bad ones. His characters wife has a really annoying voice. The ending was just one of those endings where they say, "we gotta do this as quick as we can!" Now lets talk about the good things. Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore have great chemistry and give great performances. The girls who play Adam Sandler's Daughters are really good as well. Terry Crews(some random singer) has a really funny part for the times he's on screen. Sandler is really funny at times, same goes for Barrymore. Its directed well. The director also directed "Wedding Singer" so ya, it's decent directing.  Overall "Blended" is a movie that again, If you saw it on cable, you'd say "ohh that wasn't so bad" I suggest renting this when it comes out on DVD. But if you really wanna see this that bad, go at a matinee. This is not worthy of a full price. 

THE VERDICT

Blended is a movie that goes from terrible to forgettable. I give "Blended" a C. 

FOXCATCHER TRAILER REVIEW

 This looks amazing. "Foxcatcher," is the true story of Mark Shultz, an Olympic Wrestler whose relationship with mentor John Du Pont and brother Dave Shultz would lead to tragic circumstances.

Wow look at the transformation Carell has gone through. This on the left is from "Evan Almighty".On the right is  "Foxcatcher." The movie stars Steve Carell, Channing Tanumm, and Mark Ruffallo. Its directed by Bennet Miller. Its was praised at Caines Film Festival, and it looks like that praise is true.  This is by far my most anticipated movie of 2014. I cannot wait to see this. This gets a 5/5 trailer score.

GODZILLA REVIEW

GODZILLA! THE KINGS OF MONSTERS IS BACK!!!!! 

Godzilla stars Aaron Taylor Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, David Strathern, Sally Hawkins, and Bryan Cranston. Now I know what your thinking. Your thinking " Is this going to be as bad as the first one?" The answer is a blissful NO! Its pretty cool. Now heres the story.

Joe Brody( Bryan Cranston) survivor of a family tradgedy, doubts the government when they tell him it was a natural disaster that kills his wife.  Joe believes it was a monster and is eager to investigate.   He gets his son ( Played by Kick-Ass himself Aaron Taylor Johnson)  to help him. Discovering that there was actually TWO monsters, they find themselves helping the Government in trying to stop these monsters from destroying the world.  Along the way they meet a doctor ( played by Ken Watanabe) and they discover the monster Godzilla has been protecting humans all along. In fact the third act of the film is where Godzilla really shines.  All the performances are great. The pace of the film is ok. The first act being the slowest. I only have one other complaint. The film is titled Godzilla yet we don't see him really till the last third of the movie.When he gets there its pretty awesome but I wish it hadn't taken an hour and a half to get there.  The cinematography is is good and that really pays off during the action scenes as they are filmed really well.

The Verdict 

It may not be perfect, but its a fun ride with a first rate ending. I give it a solid B+. 

BATMAN VS SUPERMAN GETS A TITLE AND BEGINS FILMING!

OH MY GOD!!!!! Batman VS Superman got a title and its awesome. Its also begun filming. I'm so excited, this is my most anticipated film of 2016. This is going to be so cool. I like its cast and I love that the writer from the movie "Argo" is writing the script. 

Overall ladies and Gents , this is going to be freaking awesome. Go Henry Cavill and Go Batfleck!!!
