Brick

I am normally a big fan of Independent films, but Brick was a HUGE disappointment. I heard such good things about this movie. However, I felt the film's dialogue, action, and overall plot come off being comical. For me this movie was comparable to a high school english project, it was that bad. This movie is just dumb...end of story.

Quantum of Solace

If you were able to see the script for this movie it would be no longer then two pages. This movie is literally chase scene after chase scene, and very few conversations. The content can be found here. This was the worst Bond movie I have ever seen, and I liked Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. The plot is stupid; a guy stores water underground and sells it to third world government to get rich, and Bond goes on a quest to take down the operation. 

Most of the chase scenes are cool, but also so unbelievable that even I couldn't suspened reality that far. For example, in one scene Bond & girl jumped out of an airplane that is on fire. Bond & girl are sharing a parachute and are struggling to open the chute...they get the chute open fifteen feet from the ground and hit the ground (a rock filled area). The next scene they are both up walking around with not even a cut. Come on, they would be dead, no questions asked. 

All in all, this Bond movie is one to skip. It was just a bad movie all around.

Goal 2: Living The Dream

I really wanted to like this movie because I loved the first one. However, this movie was a little too cliche for me (professional athlete becomes famous, rich, and looses everything because he becomes a piece). I have long been a fan of sports movies, however over the past few years all of this genre of film has become all the same. Goal is no different, except it is with a less televised sport in America (soccer). 

If you are into this type of film you could enjoy it. However, if you are looking for a different take on a genre that has been the same for a while, this film will disappoint. Goal 2, in my opinion, fails to deliver anything worth watching. Unless you are a fan of David Beckham w/out a shirt on (which is the case after after every game).

Rachel Getting Married

I really wanted to like this movie because I like Anne Hathaway but I HATED this movie. This film is rated R, the content can be found here. The film tries to do too many things all at once. The main story of the movie is Anne's sister, Rachel, gets married (who cares). However, the other story that follows Hathaway's character is a lot more interesting; a recovering drug addict/alcoholic trying to make amends with people she hurt (if they just stuck with that it could have saved the film).

This movie is long and drags on (and on and on and on). There were times in the movie that I actually skipped full scenes just because no plot or character development were taking place. Do yourself a favor and skip this movie all together because you will wish you could have these two hours back in your life.
