♂ His and ♀ Her Reviews

First, let me suggest that you check out my review on New Moon: The Book. I, myself, am a huge Twilight fan. So, of course I’m going to back this movie up. I read the book before I saw the movie. So, I already knew the outcome. But, that didn’t affect the movie at all. I love each character and can find myself in each one. Its easy to relate if you’ve ever been in love. The Twilight series is a love story all together and this particular book is about the heartache that sometimes comes along with love. Vampires, Werewolves, nightmares… Its a must see. Therefore…

I gave the movie 10 out of 10 Stars.

Summary: Funny People begins when an aging comedian (played by Adam Sandler) finds out that he has a life ending disease. After suffering a bout of depression he decides to go back to his roots and start doing stand-up again. It is here where he mets an aspiring comedian (played by Seth Rogen) and hires him as his assistant. Sandler starts on new medicine that saves his life but greatly affects his new kindled affair with a former girlfriend.

Review: So, if your an Adam Sandler fan, and you’re expecting one of his normally hilarious films, you might be in for a bit of a surprise. This is a story of life. The movie is filled with famous and not so famous comedians. While you will find plenty of humor, there is also love, death, heartbreak, disease, and can be a bit dark at moments. All in all, I did enjoy this movie. Every prediction I made while watching it was wrong. But that’s a good thing.

I gave the movie 8 out of 10 Stars.

Review: The movie was not classic Adam Sandler. Had some funny moments, but the movie was entirely to long at over 2 and a half hours. The story went a total different way than I saw it going.

I gave the movie 5 out of 10 Stars.

Summary: Bride Wars begins with two small girls falling in love with getting married. When the two girls grow up and are proposed to around the same time, things get very complicated. They go from being best of friends planning a wedding to mortal enemies. They both set out and try and sabotage the others wedding. In the end someone ends up with their husband and the other ends up with nothing. You will have to watch to find out who.

Review: This might be a ‘chick flick’ but its a great story of friendship and love. I have seen it several times and I find myself getting emotional time and time again, and I DID laugh out loud. Some guys are just pessimistic about girl movies.

I gave the movie 7 out of 10 Stars.

Review: Extreme chick flick. It has some, kind of funny moments. No real laugh out louds. At times I actually forgot the movie was all about weddings. The story is mediocre.

Summary: Dazed & Confused follows a group of teenagers as school prepares to be out in the summer of 1976. Follow as you see the hazing rituals from all seniors on upcoming freshmen. While everyone has their own view of the events going on, when it’s all said and done the cool upperclassmen befriend some of the freshmen and bring them along on some of the partying adventures that they partake in. Bonds formed on that night will prove to last longer than just one night.

Review: Overall the movie was great. All though I wasn’t around then I think it was very accurate of the times. Watching this movie makes me wish I could have grown up in the 70’s. The movie flows very good and everyone loves a good funny party movie.

I gave the movie 8 out of 10 Stars.

First, let me suggest that you check out my review on New Moon: The Book. I thought the movie was rather slow. Although the author of the original book, Stephenie Meyer, intended this book to show the lose of true love. I think that element of the movie was very good. The director very closely followed the book. The only things that were left out of the movie were the unimportant things.

The movie very easily continues the story of Bella Swan. With the introduction of the werewolves there is a whole new concept to the movies. The first movie introduced vampires and now in the second they introduce the werewolf. So there is more action in this movie as opposed to its prequel. Maybe get a few more guys in the movie theaters that way.

The CGI done for the movie was great. It adds to the extremeness of the movie. The werewolves are frightening and stunts performed look amazing.

I gave the movie 7 out of 10 Stars.
