FOR GREATER GLORY: THE TRUE STORY OF CRISTIADA (Jun 1, 2012)

Starring:  Andy Garcia, Oscar Isaac, and Catalina Sandino Moreno

Director:  Dean Wright

Rating: R - Runtime:  145 minutes

Genre:  Drama | History | War

I didn’t hear much of anything about this film prior to it coming out here in the east valley but after sitting through it I completely enjoyed the film, the acting was great as well as having a great storyline.  Be it true to how it really happened I can’t say but the way they presented it was exciting as well as managing to keep the attention of all the viewers.

Bottom line, you won’t be waisting your time or money cause it is well worth the short time out of your busy schedule to spend the time.  Let me know if you don’t agree, or for that matter let me know if you do agree as well.... Oh heck love to hear from all of yah no matter what!!

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (Jun 1, 2012)

Starring:  Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, and Sam Clafin

Director:  Rupert Sanders

Rated:  PG-13 - Runtime:  127 minutes

Genre:  Action | Adventure | Drama | Fantasy

I saw this movie and all I could think of that it was named incorrectly, all that came to mind was it should have been called Bella and the Huntsman.  She has made her place in history and should stay there!  Why is it that when ever she is in a film she is resurrected from the dead?  Perhaps she should just play the part of an immortal in every film, this way there is no death, simply life for eternity.  What the heck it’s gonna happen anyway so why not start it that way?  OK enough for my grandstanding.

The theatrics were not the greatest, but the acting on everyone else’s part was great along with the special effects (those I thought were great), loved the part of the mirror mirror on the wall!  What woman wouldn’t want a talking mirror to tell her when she was lookin great?  Especially one that poured down off the wall and stood up in front of her?  (a brand new twist to the mirror on the wall).  Now for the evil stepmother, let me tell you now, if that is what Theron is going to look like when she grows old, there is no guy that will want to be with her when she reaches the latter years.  But we all know with plastic surgery that ain’t gonna happen to that lovely!

Go see it, report back!

MEN IN BLACK 3 (May 25, 2012)

Starring:  Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and Jemaine Clement

Director:  Barry Sonnenfeld

Rated:  PG-13 - Runtime:  106 minutes

Genre:  Action | Comedy | Sci-Fi

This one took it’s time to be released but finally we get the whole picture of where and when Agent “J” (Will Smith) came about.  I certain you will like the film in its entirety as it brings to the screen a great portrayal of the young Agent “K” played by Josh Brolin.  If you didn’t know, the voice was not a dub in but Brolin did it himself.  Amazing how remarkably alike the two are.  As always Smith plays the part so well, but hey, what do you expect?  If you haven’t already seen this don’t miss it, and if it’s already gone in your location, it’s well worth making it a part of your dvd/blu-ray collection.

THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL (May 25, 2012)

Starring:  Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, and Tom Wilkinson

Director:  John Madden

Rated:  PG-13 - Runtime: 124 minutes

Genre:  Comedy | Drama

Now this is a movie that was really a sleeper, if you haven’t seen it and you have the chance to do so, don’t miss it!  It has a story line that is light hearted with a lot of humor laced throughout the film.  I know you will like it simply because it is something that could really happen and sometimes you even dream about some kind of an adventure like this.  Here are a group of elderly people not able to continue with the lifestyle that they had taking off for a new way of life in a completely unfamiliar surrounding.  When I say unfamiliar, I really mean unfamiliar, moving from the UK to a remote village in India and none of them speak the native language, or at least they can’t understand the broken english that is spoken by the people in India.  

In the end the story has a terrific ending one that you really can’t see coming but nonetheless they find themselves at home with the people and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and move forward with their lives.

BERNIE (May 4, 2012)

Starring:  Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine, and Matthew McConaughey

Director:  Richard Linklater

Rating: PG-13 - Runtime:  104 minutes

Comedy | Crime | Drama

Kinda slow and really not a part you would expect Jack Black to be playing.  As a matter of fact, I can’t remember the last film I saw him in that he wasn’t a total goof off.  His part in this film be it true or not was done in a manner that it leaves you with the “I feel sorry for this poor guy” even though he brutally shot and killed an elderly woman in her own garage then stuffed her in her own freezer.  Oh yah, that’s the kinda guy I would want as my good friend or in this case her man slave.  

I’m not sure how your gonna react to this but I think justice was done regardless of what a sweetheart of a guy he was or had pretended to be.

Was the acting good?  Ah, not really, but the story line was great and it could have been a great mystery story if written a bit differently.  Oh well you can’t have everything all the time.

My Rating: 2 Mugs of Guinness - aka; 2 Stars for those being too young to enjoy the Irish Ale.
