Excited to start my new Movie Monday feature in 35mmReviews! I've decided to start this week with a short review for one of my favorite romantic comedies in 2011: Friends With Benefits.
I love chick flicks. I really do. I don't care what anybody else thinks. I've been interested in seeing what Justin Timberlake has been spending his time on instead of making us another dang album. Can't he just get back to singing already?! He's not stood out to be anything great in acting so far, so why would this be any different? Well, let me tell you my fellow movie fans, he just stepped it up! I totally bought the role he was playing. He was excellent! There are moments that I thought, "he couldn't possibly be acting! That looks so natural!" If you're sceptical about JT, don't be. He was fantastic along side Mila Kunis.
Friends with Benefits is about... well, you know what it's about by the title now don't you? The film is hilarious. I laughed the whole way through! I want to watch it over and over again. There hasn't been a good chick flick out in ages! It is re-freshing that someone got it right! Finally!! If you are looking for some laughs and a good flick to watch with your significant other, this is it!! Enjoy!
I would rate this movie with a 5/5

Synopsis: Since Brian O'Conner and Mia Toretto broke Dom Toretto out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey... before someone else runs them down first.
Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Matt Schulze, Sung Kang and Dwayne Johnson

Fast and Furious, one of my top favorite action franchise of all times. I waited for months for the release of this fifth edition and the waiting was totally worth. I personally think the franchise was basically going down after the third one. It was getting old just watching over an over new editions of tunning cars and same fast races. The great thing about the fourth, and especially, this fifth edition is that Director Justin Lin decided to give the franchise a smart turn from the first three films, turning the scripts into heist plots. He confirmed after releasing this fifth edition that next one will be all about a heist situation, and we can certainly confirm this with the very last scene on this film (after credits).
I did really enjoy the film on theaters, and even more now that I got it on BluRay, having the chance to watch it again and enjoy all the extra content available on the disc.
When Dominic Toretto is sentenced to jail, Brian and Mia break Dom's custody and all of them become a group of outlaws, they escape to Brazil, hiding in the Favelas.As soon as Brian and Mia arrive to their destination, they meet with Vince. During their first night, Vince convince Brian and Mia to help him on a job, where they had to steal a few cars and drive them back to their owner, Mr. Reyes. Brian and Mia meet Vince and Dom in the train where the cars were stored but right after the job starts, things went wrong.
Soon after everyone escapes from the train, they try to identify why Mr. Reyes wanted one of the cars back. They will find that the car has a memory car hidden on the GPS system that will show all the locations and information about Mr. Reyes' illegal business.
At the same time, Special Agent Hobbs arrives to Brazil with his small team to hunt Dom and his team and bring them back to justice in the US. During the first chase, Dom, Brian and Mia escape from two different groups: Agent Hobbs and his team, and Mr. Reyes' killers. Dom ask Brian and Mia to split and gather back together in the future, but Mia refuses because she is pregnant and doesn't want them all to split, but stay together, no matter what.
Dom and Brian have a conversation about their future and the importance of their families, and they decide to come with a plan to steal all Mr. Reyes' money ($100 million). They will need a team, and that's when all the old gang gets together. They start preparing the plan and putting all the small pieces in place to create and execute the perfect heist, since all the money was saved in a safe located at the police headquarters.
They move forward on their plan, but Hobbs gets closer and closer, until their plan gets in jeopardy. Hobbs captures Dom, Brian, Vince and Mia, but while Hobbs and his team are taking them to the airport, they face and ambush and Hobbs' team is killed. Dom, Brian and Vince save Agent Hobbs and when they all get back together, they decide to finish the job. Hobbs offers to help them and they go for the money, facing one amazing and extremely entertaining race on the streets of Rio de Janeiro with Dom and Brian being chased by the police.
At the end, they get all the money, hide in a paradisiac location and plan to go for a last race.
As said before, there's a key scene after the credits that will lead us to the possible story on Fast and Furious 6. If you haven't seen it yet, you can't miss it!
p.s.: I also have to say that "The Rock" rocked in this film. He brought back the action!
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: After 10 years in prison, Driver has a singular focus - to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment. Now a free man with a deadly to-do list in hand, he's finally on his mission... but with two men on his trail - a veteran cop just days from retirement, and a young egocentric hitman with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent. The hunter is also the hunted. It's a do or die race to the list's finish as they myster surrounding his brother's murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver's list may be incomplete.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Maggie Grace, Oliver Jackson Cohen, Moon Bloodgood
Directed by: George Tillman Jr
U.S. Rating: R
Being such a huge fan of Dwane "The Rock" Johnson's films, I couldn't let this one go away, even more, because he's back to the action films.
Driver (Dwayne) has spent the last 10 years in prison waiting to come out and avenge the murder of his brother during a bank robbery. Driver and his brother were hit by another gang, taking the money they stole from the bank and killing every single one of them. The only problem is that Driver, being shot in the head, didn't die. They thought he was killed, but he recovered and was put in jail for this robbery.
After 10 years, he's got some help from an outsider, providing him with the list of every single person involved in that gang that killed his brother and shot him in the head. Without hesitation, he drives straight to every single target, killing them with no remorse. The only problem is that he's been put in a killing list, along with the same people he's been hunting down.
In the meantime, Cop (Billy Bob Thornton) and Cicero (Carla Gugino), both detectives from the local PD, try to follow Driver's steps and stop him.
At the end, Driver has avenged gis brother's death, killing every single one of the involved in this event, in addition to the leader of the team.
Dwayne Johnson performed such a great and entertaining role in this action film. It was a pretty good film, if... There weren't some other roles and situations that shouldn't be part of the plot. For example, I never understood the need of a narcissist hitman and his girlfriend to kill those people for just $1. I found these two roles and their scenes, totally unnecessary.
I'm so glad "The Rock" is back in business. He needs to be more involved in these kind of tdrama, thriller and ough action films, the ones that have given him the fame and reputation in Hollywood. If you're a huge fan of Dwayne Johnson's film, you will enjoy the film.

Synopsis: A low-ranking intelligence operative working in the office of the U.S. Ambassador in France takes on more than he bargained for when he partners with a wisecracking, fast-shooting, high-ranking U.S. agent who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack.
Starring: John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Kasia Smutniak, Richard Durden
Directed by: Pierre Morel
U.S. Rating: R
I must start saying that I believe that the person who enjoyed the film was John Travolta. He looked so "cool" for a secret agent with such a bad attitude.
From Paris with Love was an entertaining action movie. It didn't require much brain to follow the film, even though, it had such an unexpected "twist" situation that made it interesting. The most enjoyable from the film some really funny and crazy dialogue lines, especially quoted by John Travolta.
The film is about James Reese, a low ranking U.S. Intelligence member working for the American Embassy in Paris. He's being assigned to work with Charlie Wax, a crazy special Agent who will be working in Paris trying to reveal and destroy a terrorist plan to kill everyone in an important ceremony with the presence of many different important delegates from around the world. When they start finding vital information and people, they will soon find that James has been framed and he's being used to get all the important information and tools to access this important event.
An entertaining film with a pretty standard and decent plot, offering some good laughs and some crazy action scenes.
What did I like from this movie?
1. John Travolta, bringing some of the crazy attitude and style, that same style and attitude that made him famous with Pulp Fiction!
2. The twist in the middle of the film
3. Some really good laughs with the dialogue lines used by John Travolta
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I didn't like the end as much as I liked the rest of the film

Synopsis: Jack Campbell is a Wall Street trader living the high life in New York City. When Jack, who has forsaken all for the pursuit of money, becomes involved in a grocery store holdup, everything changes. He awakens the next morning, on a snowy Christmas day, lying in bed next to a wife--Kate, the college sweetheart he dumped when his career ambitions took hold--whom he never married, and in a house with two kids he never had. Now living in New Jersey in an alternate suburban universe, he has a chance to see how his life would have turned out had he married Kate and raised a family. Jack soon begins to feel strangely comfortable in the new role of loving husband and father, finding himself happy in the life he would have led had he made different choices as a young man.
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Téa Leoni, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Piven, Saul Rubinek
Directed by: Brett Ratner
U.S. Rating: PG-13
An ideal movie for the Christmas season without being a Christmas movie! Yes, it is a Christmas movie, but the message is not about Christmas. It is all about the importance of Family upon any other temporal interests like work, professional success, fame or money. The Family Man is such a great family movie for a quiet and relaxing movie night to be enjoyed with the loved one. I must be honest and say that I didn't feel any chemistry between Nicolas Cage and Téa Leoni, but it doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy their roles and the way they worked together. Both of them were brilliant in their own dimension and roles. When we put all together: their amazingly well performed roles, the strong script and the season, the results are really enjoyable. Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. What I liked the most was the end, since it was totally unexpected. After switching his wealthy and successful professional & single life to his married life with so many financial limitations and different career, I was expecting that he'd decide to choose to maintain his second stage after experiencing the importance of family and true happiness, but... I was wrong, and I liked the final
2. Both lead roles were nicely played, even though, if I had to choose the best one, I could say that Téa Leoni played an amazing role in this movie
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I didn't find anything wrong with the film, even though, it was kinda corny in a couple of times (but I still liked it!)
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Out of obligation--and unable to escape--they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened... and their very future together uncertain. As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families' choices are not so crazy after all.
Starring: Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, Noah Munck, Haley Hallak, Robert Duvall
Directed by: Seth Gordon
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Four Christmases, the latest christmas movie with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon is worth to watch. It is about a couple with no serious commitment about their relationship, that enjoy to live their lives together and relax on their christmas holidays away from their parents and relatives. They never expected that right at the very last moment of their perfectly conceived plan, a deep fog that covered San Francisco Bay would ruin their holidays. While being at the airport trying to find a flight to escape on their holidays, they're approached by a TV News reporter and suddenly, they've found caught on camera and contacted by their families. Then, they have to cancel their plans and visit their families for christmas. Both of them have 2 families to visit, their mothers' families, and their fathers' families. A really entertaining plot with some thoughful situations about the importance of couples' commitments and family relationships. A really good and entertaining movie for this christmas season, now that it has finally been released on DVD!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The most hilarious scenes on this movie is the moment they visit Reese's mother and her family! Her mother, grandmother, sister and other ladies in that house are a bunch of cougars!
2. So funny when Vince is intimidated by Reese's sister and her hot appearance. She gives the baby to her husband who's playing video games and she says... "he's good with babies"
3. Hilarious when the baby vomits on Reese's blouse and Vince is about to vomit too because it is really disgusting for him
4. Vince's dad and brothers, so funny! I really laughed when they're opening their gifts and Vince gave a XBox to the little kid and a satellite dish to his dad when they set a top of $10 per gifts
What did I dislike from this movie?

Brenda married an electronics-emporium magnate, Elise became a film star, Annie an Upper East Side housewife. They all helped their husbands build up hugely successful businesses. Now they're reunited by catastrophe: Each has just been callously dumped by her husband in exchange for a younger, sexier "trophy wife." There are sharks swimming around Manhattan, and most of them are pumped with silicone and squeezed into Spandex. Smarting from the pain, Brenda, Elise and Annie join forces and concoct a plan to exact the most exquisitely bitter vengeance upon their "exes."

Hobbs, the nighttime janitor at London Diamond, is virtually invisible to the executives that work there, but over the years has amassed a startling amount of knowledge about how the company runs. Hobbs has his own bone to pick with London Diamond. Observing Laura's frustration, he convinces her to help him execute an ingenious plan to steal a hefty sum in diamonds. But unbeknownst to Laura, Hobbs plans go even farther than he's let on, and together they set in motion a thrilling heist of dizzying proportions, the likes of which London has never seen.

U.S. Rating: PG-13
A really interesting and entertaining plot. Demi Moore and Michael Caine bring this suspens thriller about an amazing plan to steal one of the biggest diamonds corporation in the world. Even though, we've watches so many similar plots like this one, I personally believe that the main difference is the terrific performance from Michael Caine and Demi Moore. A simple but powerful script that will keep you aware of every single details, and especially, watching such a very unexpected end, when nothing seemed to be what everyone was expecting from Michael Caine, the reason why he did it and most important, what really happened in the end. Totally recommended for those lovers of an enjoyable heist thriller.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The plot was really entertaining. These are the kind of plots I really enjoy

What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Demi Moore's make up as an old woman, so wrong! It looked so fake
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: Searching for his missing sister, Clay Miller heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins behind moss-covered trees. And that's not the only thing lying in wait under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has in the search for his missing sister, Whitney, with the help of Jenna, a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend. But they are all about to find much more than they bargained for. Little do they know, they've entered the domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film history -- the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a razor-sharp machete... Jason Voorhees.
Starring: Julianna Guill, America Olivo, Jared Padalecki, Amanda Righetti, Danielle Panabaker
Directed by: Marcus Nispel
U.S. Rating: R
The latest remake of this famous and classic movie horror franchise. Friday the 13th brings new deathly situations in Crystal Lake, great effects and scary scenes, by the hand of one of the creepiest film horror creatures... Jason Voorhees. One of the "must see" films for a Halloween weekend. On this new remake, I was a bit confused during the first part of the movie, since I believed the 5 people camping in Crystal Lake would be the main characters involved in this plot, but they were just part of it, but then they tied the rest of the story when they place in the story a new group of people (plus a single guy looking for his missing sister who was among the first group). A plain and basic plot about survival, since the whole point of it is watching Jason killing everyone... one by one... without saying a single word.
What did I like from this movie?
1. There were some really good effects
2. A funny moment, when the Asian guy is playing with the hockey stick, he meets Jason and tries to give him the stick saying that it would complete his outfit
3. The very last scene, totally unexpected! (really?!)
4. Jason's appearance, really creepy!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. A very predictable plot, even though, it was entertaining
2. I believe that Jason's role is the easiest one ever! He doesn't say a single word in this film, just running and killing people with his machete!
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.
Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, John Ortiz
Directed by: Justin Lin
U.S. Rating: PG-13
One of my top favorite action franchises so far. Fast & Furious is the most recent sequel of The Fast and The Furious franchise, this time, bringing the original team. In this new sequel, Dom and his girlfriend (Diesel and Rodriguez) have been living in Dominican Republic, steeling trucks with gas to use it in their illegal racing bets with other racers. When Dom decides to run away from his girlfriend and friends for a short period of time, being chased by the local police, his girlfriend returns to the US and gets involved in a risky work, watched by the FBI, transporting drug between Mexico and the US for an important and dangerous drug dealer. When she gets killed, Dom returns to the US... even knowing that he can be caught by the police, just to find who killed his girlfriend and take revenge. Soon, Diesel and Walker get involved in a clandestine racing and get a place as a driver for the same drug lord who killed Dom's girlfriend. An action movie with lots of fast cars, speed, CGI effects and some bad acting moments. If you're a Fast and the Furious franchise fan, then it is a must. Totally recommended.
What did I like from this movie?
1. What I liked the most were the cars, especially the American muscle ones! The Torino, The Chevelle, The Chevy SS, among other great cars
2. The scene when Paul Walker is chasing the gang member and jumps out of the window to fall with the guy on top of a car
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Too much CGI effects on this sequel. It was one of the great things in the previous sequels, not many CGI effects and more real driving racing scenes
2. Some really bad drama acting situations on this movie
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: The mundane existence of a product liability evaluator and insomniac, who is addicted to self-help groups, is turned upside down when he meets a sado-masochistic anarchist who is secretly plotting to overthrow civilization. As their friendship grows, they become increasingly involved in a secret society of "fight clubs" where men act out their aggressions and violently beat one another to a pulp. In the meantime, the evaluator falls in love with a woman who is also addicted to self-help groups, but is unable to act on his desire for her.
Starring: Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Michael "Meatloaf" Lee Loaf, Zach Grenier, Richmond Arquette
Directed by: David Fincher
U.S. Rating: R
I get scared when my wife says: Don't mess with me! I watched Fight Club!
Another crazy and bizarre classic movie. If you haven't watched Fight Club, you haven't watched it all. One of the most controversial movies in a decade, Fight club offers the craziest final ever expected. For many people and critics, Edward Norton plays one of his best roles so far in this movie. Personally, I believe it has been his best role up to this day. Brad Pitt adds so much craziness and action to the Norton's role. Definitely one of the weirdest movies I've watched, but also one of the best performances provided by Norton and Pitt.
What did I like from this movie?
1. My favorite character is Tyler Durden (Pitt). So crazy that I couldn't stop laughing watching this guy! Especially when he's fighting with the nunchaku
2. I really liked both performances, Norton and Pitt's performances were amazing in this movie. no matter how crazy and bizarre this movie could be, their performance was amazing
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I've heard that there have been some discussions for a new Fight Club movie, not sure if it's a sequel or a remake. The important thing is that I believe that I find extremely difficult (if not impossible) that anyone could offer a better performance than these two guys in this movie
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: At 35, Tripp has an interesting job, a hip car, a passion for sailing, and a great house - trouble is, he lives with his parents. They want him out, so they hire Paula, an "interventionist," who has a formula in these cases: chance encounter, get him to ask her out, involve him in a trauma, meet his friends and get their nod, delay sex, have him teach her something, then launch him. It's worked up to now, but this gets complicated when Tripp thinks she's getting too serious and one of his pals is attracted to Paula's deadpan, semi-alcoholic roommate, who's plagued by a mockingbird. Too many secrets may scrub the launch, and what if Paula really likes him? Who can intervene then?
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper
Directed by: Tom Dey
U.S. Rating: PG-13
I'd consider Failure to Launch some kind of a female version of Hitch, with the only difference that Hitch didn't get involved with the targets, and Sarah Jessica Parker's role gets directly involved with her clients' targets. This romantic comedy brought a great cast with a plot that, no matter how many times you might have laughed in this movie, it wasn't memorable enough to help you remember the movie the morning after. I think that Matthew McConaughey is a really great actor, I've enjoyed to see him in action/drama/romance movies, but still can't see him in comedy movies. I think he tries so hard to be funny that it looks like fake humor, I mean, fake humor. No matter what, it's a truly romantic comedy. The film is entertaining due to the great cast involved in this production. I mean, his parents, especially his dad... is hilarious! Zooey Deschanel's sarcasm and performance gets the whole attention and the assistance of Justin Bartha and Bradley Cooper.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I totally laughed out loud when the first girl, and later S.J. Parker asked him... do you live with your parents?! and he responds with the funny question... Is there a problem?!
2. The whole situation with Zooey Deschanel, her sarcasm and the bird, really funny, especially when she's looking for a gun and then they shot at it with the BB
3. When Tripp's mom starts breaking some habits and makes him to do things he's never done before and everyone was amazed about it, really funny
4. Tripp's father is really funny. The moment when he enters in his room during the date with the first girl and then with the "naked room"... hilarious!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The very end, even though the moment when they talk and solve their problems, the scenes at the bar with the computers, big screen, etc., personally didn't like it
2. Why didn't the people involved with this project work on a sequel about Zooey Deschanel's life? She stole the show in this movie and she'd deserve a movie about her life, according with her role in this movie
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: An expose which reflects upon what has happened to America since the events of September 11, 2001 that touches upon the personal relationship between President George W. Bush and the family of terrorist Osama bin Laden. As well, the chronicle focuses on the powerful roles that oil and greed may have played in the terrorist attack on the U.S.A.
Starring: Michael Moore, George W. Bush, Lila Lipscomb
Directed by: Michael Moore
U.S. Rating: R
It's hard for me to define Michael Moore's political view. Sometimes he seems to be a political activist with some socialist ideas, sometimes he seems to be an activist of populism, sometimes he seems to be like an activist of one of these new "green" political parties, trying to make a better world and bring peace and love to humanity. Anyway, what I can say is that no matter if I sympathize with his political views or not, I always enjoy his documentaries, just because he can be really annoying for many people! I used to watch his show The Ugly Truth, and I totally laughed every time he was kicked out from an office building, or when people got annoyed or upset and just left him talking to himself.
This documentary, Farenheit 9/11 is well known for many of us. Michael Moore tries to bring to the audience some facts involved with the events during the 9/11 and tries to find a logical/political or strategic reason for all these events and the posterior war on Terror taken to Afganistan and Iraq.
Some of the facts exposed are really interesting, and some information and critics are more like a political/strategic acusation to George Bush, his administration and other important business men and corporations involved in this situation, even more obvious when he decided to take his documentary to the big screen just few months before the national elections in 2004.
What I personally like from Michael Moore is that he's able to work on subjects and social issues based on true (or not) facts and important events, for example, the massacre in Columbine, the 9/11 terrorist attack, the issues with the health system (his Documentary: Sicko) and the most recent one related with the crush on the global economy (Capitalism: A love story).
liver Stone has tried to go recently on a same direction, trying to work on movies and documentaries base on social and political standards, but the thing is that Oliver Stone documentaries have turned in such a cheap propaganda to all those third-world socialist leaders like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, trying to sell garbage as a great social and policial movement and innovation.
Even though, I'm skeptical about Michael Moore and his recent contacts in Venice, when he went to the Festival to show his new documentary and there, he contacted and maintained an interview with Hugo Chavez, who was there thinking that he was some kind of movie star, by the hand of Oliver Stone, while Venezuelans are facing the worst social/political and economical situation in decades because of his political and social actions and decisions. Michael Moore has announced that he'll visit Hugo Chavez (I can't say he'll visit Venezuela, because Venezuelans didn't invite him) before the end of the year. So, we'll see if he's one of those romantic socialists like Oliver Stone, dreaming and showing eternal love to dictators like these two morons (Chavez and Castro) but in their private lives, they love to enjoy the fruits and pleasures of capitalism... living in a Mansion in California, with great cars, great luxury and, especially, if their documentaries are being financed and paid by these third-world leaders with some really good $$ millions that belong to their people and countries. I'll believe in their truly love for their ideas when I see them relocating to these countries and live like a normal cuban or venezuelan, with their daily dilemmas and needs.
Sorry about these comments! I know they're not related with the documentary, but they're part of the ideas and political views of the directors
What did I like from this movie?
1. I like the facts, documents and information provided about some of the situations happened before, during and after the 9/11
2. I really enjoy when he goes to the Congress and tries to give some brouchures to the congressmen, inviting them to send their sons to Iraq
3. I laughed when I saw at the beggining of the documentary when George Bush invites him to find a job in a rude way, so funny!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. As I said, it's my personal opinion, but I believe that the documentary was more a political strategy to work against Bush on his presidencial campaign in 2004, than a documentary trying to show some facts and find answers to the problem
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

U.S. Rating: R
It's good that I don't pay attention to other people's comments and I always like to follow my own instincts (I know, sometimes they suck!) and watch the movies no matter what. That's the case with this movie. I remember the first comments I read and heard about this movie, not the best ones. Well, I finally had the chance to watch it and I could say that it's a very entertaining movie. It's a plot that offers a little bit of good comedy and drama at the same time. Great cast, lots of good comedians in just one plot, among other great actors like Eric Bana. I kinda like Adam Sandler's drama movies, because the image we usually have of Adam Sandler is always the one related with romantic/comedy movies. In this movie, Adam Sandler plays a role of a guy, that even though is a famous stand-up comedian, his life is a complete drama, being unhappy because he never got married with the love of his life, became a comedian because he suffered all the time trying to make his dad laugh and he finally was diagnosed with a terminal sickness. In the other hand, we have some new comedy actors like Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill bringing some comedy to the drama role played by Adam Sandler in this movie. The first half of the movie was really entertaining, with some drama and especially, some good comedy scenes, and a second half less entertaining but with a good message. If you feel like watching this movie, don't pay attention to the comments out there, watch it and get your own conclusions :) My best advise on this one.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The moment when they have this MySpace stand-up comedy show, Adam Sandler is waiting backstage and this guy asks him if he's on MySpace. Adam Sandler answers him something like: "No, I have women to @$£&^, I don't have time for that" His answer and the way he said it was hilarious!
2. The whole scene when Adan Sandler and Seth Rogen are in this coffee shop and Seth starts crying because Adam Sandler is dying and Adam Sandler tries to make him stop because he's getting embarrased
3. The scene when Eric Bana (playing the australian husband of Adam sandler's ex-girlfriend) is finghting with Adam sandler in their back yard and his wife starts mocking him with his accent, hilarious!
4. The scene when he's at the doctor's office and he makes fun of him while he's trying to be serious
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The sad reality of these changes on people's behavior. Adam Sandler showed the two different sides of a story when a famous person gets humble when he knows he'll die soon, and how changes due to his pride when he knows he's cured and could do anything he wants again

Synopsis: High-school teacher Ben Wrightman is a good catch. He's charming, funny and great with kids. When he meets Lindsey Meeks, an ambitious business consultant whose spirit is as luminous as her beauty, their attraction is immediate. Sure, they have their differences. She's a workaholic; he loves his summers off. He lives and breathes the Red Sox; she doesn't know Carl Yastrzemski from Johnny Damon. But true love overcomes all--at least until Red Sox spring training rolls around. As Ben's beloved Bosox launch one of the most incredible seasons in baseball history, Ben and Lindsey must decide if they, as a couple, will strike out or fight to keep love alive through extra innings.
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Jimmy Fallon, Jason Spevack, Jack Kehler, Scott H. Severance
Directed by: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly
U.S. Rating: PG-13
Coming from the Farrelly Brothers, I was expecting their typical humor in this movie, but it turned out such a light humor and I could really say that it is such a likable romantic comedy! The cast chosen for this movie was simply excellent. Drew Barrymore played a great role as the hard worker, single and successful professional woman, and Jimmy Fallon plays the perfect guy, a funny and honest, decent single school teacher with (apparently) nothing to hide, nut in the end, he is one of the craziest and most loyal baseball fans ever! A romantic comedy that matches both lives with nothing in common, and how they are able to adapt their lives, daily routines and even their most precious things in life (for Drew... her work and professional success, for Jimmy... his Baseball devotion) in name of love. A really funny movie, with lots of funny and romantic scenes and situations, and a great movie to watch it with your loved one.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Great cast. Drew and Jimmy were able to match perfectly in this romantic comedy
2. Jimmy Fallon was able to bring his spontaneous humor in every single scene, but what I really enjoyed were those scenes when he received the tickets for the new season and then he assigned the tickets among his friends
3. The scene when Drew is hit by a fault ball while she was working on her laptop and then she was all over the news
4. The moment when they have their first date, she was sick and Jimmy had to clean her vomit and take care of her that night
5. Definitely, the whole situation when she goes to visit her parents (her dad is facing the middle-aged crisis and dyed his hair, his dog doesn't recognize him) and they see Jimmy on TV as the wild, crazy Red Sox's fan (she didn't know how crazy he was about baseball until that moment
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Well, I couldn't say that it was something I dislike, but since this kind of plot is so rare coming from the Farelly Brothers, I could say that I missed some of their gross-out humor (this movie didn't need it though, at all!)
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
Directed by: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly

Coming from the Farrelly Brothers, I was expecting their typical humor in this movie, but it turned out such a light humor and I could really say that it is such a likable romantic comedy! The cast chosen for this movie was simply excellent. Drew Barrymore played a great role as the hard worker, single and successful professional woman, and Jimmy Fallon plays the perfect guy, a funny and honest, decent single school teacher with (apparently) nothing to hide, nut in the end, he is one of the craziest and most loyal baseball fans ever!

Synopsis: On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one--in increasingly gruesome ways--Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination.
Starring: Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Nick Zano, Haley Webb, Mykelti Williamson
Directed by: David R. Ellis
U.S. Rating: R
I'm such a fan of the three previous movies, especially the second and third one. On these previous movies, everyone of them were attached to the first experience or movie, when they faced a similar situation and they got the complete information about how things happened and all the effects related with this situation, for example, the sequence of deaths, the things that would happen (showed in pictures, etc). The daily, usual activities that killed all these people in these previous movies gave its own trademark. Maybe I was expecting something different in this new sequel, especially because the name and trailer try to sell the idea that this new sequel will be "different" from the previous ones, it will be "The" Final Destination, that they will be able to break the death process. Well, I was totally wrong. It was just more of the same shown in the previous three movies, with just a big difference. It was way more predictable than the previous ones. Besides that, the cast wasn't able to offer the emotion and suspense, sense of horror that I was able to feel in the previous movies. Really cheap acting performance in some important scenes and moment through the movie, but well, I could at least say that I enjoyed it, it was good watching it at the movie theater though.
What did I like from this movie?
1. That it was filmed in 3D
2. The effects shown in some scenes were really good, especially when they were shown in 3D
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The cheap acting performance from most of the cast involved in this movie. For example, the moment when the security guard is trying to kill himself. When the guys find him in his room trying to die hung but the rope breaks and he falls in the floor and gets up and starts talking, walking and doing things like nothing happened... not even a single cough or feeling like chocking!
2. The guy that dies in the pool, his role sucked. The bad guy that doesn't care about anything, just like a similar guy in the second movie, the one that dies in the field cut by the wires. In this movie, this guy was "too much" obvious that was acting more than playing a role
3. The situations involved in every single death were a bit more exaggerated than any of the previous movies. In the previous three movies, every situation that led to every death looked like spontaneous mistakes and situations that provoked those deaths. In this movie, every situation looked like they were manipulated for an invisible person who managed every single mistake (real or not) to provoke these deaths
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden sees that he has a natural talent for street fighting. When Harvey offers Shawn help at making the real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership. As Shawn's manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, he becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he's found himself, he must now face the toughest fight of his life.
Starring: Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard, Zulay Henao, Michael Rivera, Flaco Navaja (II)
Directed by: Dito Montiel
U.S. Rating: PG-13
A movie with an excellent cast. Terrence Howard played such a enjoyable role in this movie. Even though this movie is predictable and the fight scenes are just 3 major fight scenes, these scenes don't take more than just very few minutes each. The whole story is about the process of this small-town boy trying to survive in a metropolis like New york and how he gets deep in the underground world of illegal fighting while other people bet on these fights. I don't know if watching Fight Club and Fighting within the same week would affect my point of view about street fighting plots, and especially about this movie Fighting, since Fight Club made history in this kind of movies.
What did I like from this movie?
1. As said before, what I really enjoyed from this movie was Terrence Howard's role. He played such a really enjoyable role, even during the slow and boring moments through the movie, his role brought some really entertaining situations.
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Being a movie about street illegal fighting (the movie is even called "Fighting") there are only 3 major fights (and, these fights take no longer than just few minutes)
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honor. But it doesn't take long for him to find some action when a fellow American buddy, Twinkie, introduces him to the underground world of drift racing. Sean's simple drag racing gets replaced by a rubber-burning, automotive art form with an exhilarating balance of speeding and gliding through a heart-stopping course of hairpin turns and switchbacks. On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Yakuza. Sean's loss comes at a high price tag when he's forced to work off the debt under the thumb of ex-pat, Han. Han soon welcomes Sean into this family of misfits and introduces him to the real principles of drifting. But when Sean falls for D.K.'s girlfriend, Neela, an explosive series of events is set into motion, climaxing with a high stakes face off.

U.S. Rating: PG-13
Another sequel with a plot full of hot cars, street and drift racing. I wasn't really motivated to go and watch this new sequel, due to the cast. For all the Fast and the Furious saga fans, we all know that these movies need Paul Walker and Vin Diesel in it to make it real. Even though, Vin Diesel appears in this movie during the last 30 seconds, it was not the same. I liked the plot, it was interesting, even though, I didn't feel any chemistry with the main role. No matter what, it was an entertaining movie, not as good as the two previous movies, but at least helped people to tie nods with the most recent movie recently released in the movie theaters.
What did I like from this movie?
1. All the stunts and drifting racing scenes
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. As I said, didn't like the guy playing the main role in this movie, I didn't feel the charisma needed, maybe because I compared him with Pal Walker's roles in the two previous movies
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
