Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where the first comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood thought he saved the world when he destroyed his most infamous invention -- a machine that turned water into food causing cheeseburger rain and spaghetti tornadoes. But Flint soon learns that his invention survived and is now creating food-animals – "foodimals!" Flint and his friends embark on a dangerously delicious mission to battle hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses, cheespiders and other foodimals to save the world – again!
While this movie took a little too long to get Flint and crew to the island with the foodimals, it was still,just as funny as the first one. Adults are totally able to enjoy the movie as much as the kids because of the quick humor throughout the movie. The pronounciation of the food making machine will never get old.
I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoyed the first one check this movie out. Parents will enjoy taking their kids to the movies for this one.
Determined to get engaged before her youngest sister's wedding, flight attendant Montana Moore (Paula Patton) finds herself with only 30 days to find Mr. Right. Using her airline connections to "accidentally" meet up with eligible ex-boyfriends and scour for potential candidates, she racks up more than 30,000 miles and countless comedic encounters, all the while searching for the perfect guy.
This was pretty much a total formula romantic comedy. There is nothing that happens that you don't see coming a mile away. Most of the humor is provided by the main characters sidekicks. It's not a bad movie but it's not really a good watch either.
I wouldn't really recommend people rushing to see this movie. It's a somewhat decent watch but definitely falls under the dime a dozen romantic comedies.
Keller Dover is facing every parent's worst nightmare. His 6-year-old daughter and her young friend are missing, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki arrests its driver, but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect's release. Knowing his child's life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. The desperate father will do whatever it takes to find the girls, but in doing so, may lose himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?
This was a great movie. Great acting across the board and a realistic story. You could relate to all of the characters reactions to this very traumatic event. You get very hooked and tuned in to the movie the whole time wanting to see how it will all play out. There were a couple of twists and turns that kept you on your toes although I was able to figure out the main twist way in advance. There are two big knocks against this movie though. First, the movie was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. There was no need for the movie to be two and a half hours long. Two hours maybe. Possibly even less. As much as you were hooked by the movie, you totally felt how long it was. Secondly, the movie literally ended in the middle of a scene. Won't give anything away but the detective hears something, turns to look and the credits begin. Very strange. Like I said - the movie was more than long enough and then they end it so abruptly? It made no sense.
I would still recommend this movie because of how good it was overall. Anyone who loves character dramas or procedural shows like Criminal Minds will undoubtedly enjoy this movie.
The famed horror team of director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell reunite with the original cast of Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey and Ty Simpkins in Insidious Chapter 2, a terrifying sequel to the acclaimed horror film, which follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.
Insidious scared me more than any movie in a long, long time. Like lose sleep because of shadows in the corner kind of sleep. This movie was just as good as the first one, if not better because of the story development incorporating the first and even giving you more background information prior to that movie. The going back and forth between the three times was done very fluidly and actually made the movie, and the scary moments, that much better. I absolutely had to pull my hat down so I was only watching the bottom third of the screen numerous times because I was trying to protect myself from shitting my pants. It didn't even help 3-4 times because I still jumped in my seat. The only knock I'll make against the movie is that they did a great job providing closure but then threw on a pointless open ending since there will obviously be a Chapter 3 since Hollywood doesn't know how to leave well enough alone.
I would absolutely recommend anyone that liked the first one see this one. You will not be disappointed. If you have not seen either and like a good scare, you should definitely go check out both of them.
In the dark action comedy The Family, a mafia boss and his family are relocated to a sleepy town in France under the witness protection program after snitching on the mob. Despite the best efforts of Agent Stansfield (Tommy Lee Jones) to keep them in line, Fred Manzoni (Robert DeNiro), his wife Maggie (Michelle Pfeiffer) and their children Belle (Dianna Agron) and Warren (John D’Leo) can't help but revert to old habits and blow their cover by handling their problems the “family” way, enabling their former mafia cronies to track them down. Chaos ensues as old scores are settled in the unlikeliest of settings in this darkly funny film by Luc Besson ("Taken," "Transporter").
Was this movie supposed to be a comedy? Or a drama? Or an action movie? It really couldn't decide and ended up going back and forth way too much. This pretty much ruined the movie and made it be one of those movies that are just kind of there. The climactic scene was great but the movie was way to scattered for the 90 minutes prior.
I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this movie. It had some decent moments but nothing but muddled mess outside of them.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.
This was a great movie for what it was supposed to be. It is a majorly testosterone fueled movie about a bunch of thugs arguing with each other and then having to fight together against the alien inhabitants on the planet. There was just enough story that kept you interested in the characters and there was much more continuity with the two previous entries in this franchise than I expected and the alien makeup/design is still some of the better work out of any recent attempts to capture that look/feel from the Aliens franchise.
If you liked either of the first two movies based on the Riddick character, you should definitely like this one. I wasn't really a fan of The Chronicles Of Riddick but loved Pitch Black. This was much more like Pitch Black thankfully.
Getaway is an action thriller in which former race car driver Brent Magna (Ethan Hawke) is pitted against the clock. Desperately trying to save the life of his kidnapped wife, Brent commandeers a custom Shelby Cobra Mustang, taking it and its unwitting owner (Selena Gomez) on a high-speed race against time, at the command of the mysterious villain holding his wife hostage.
This was one of the most pointless movies I've ever seen. I got excited at first because the movie pretty much jumped right out of the gates with the driving and I figured that they would get to the backstory later. But . . . . . . there really wasn't any backstory. It all just happened randomly. And then Selena Gomez got in the car. She has pretty much catapulted to the top of my annoying actor/actress list. Her being in a movie is pretty much a guaranteed Bottom 10 of the year spot. She was just plain awful and the movie played out like a videogame while having to watch the two of them in the car. It's really a shame that Jon Voight (or basically just his voice) was in this movie because I'm loving him so much right now in Ray Donovan (anyone not watching that tv show REALLY should be) and this movie is the type of stink that will stick to to those in it for a long time.
I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this. It was incredibly painful and I was begging WW to leave twenty minutes in and for the rest of the movie.
