Starring: Marilyn Monroe, Percy Helton, Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall, William Powell, David Wayne
Directed by: Jean Negulesco
U.S. Rating: Not Rated
"How To Marry A Millionaire" is a typical 20th Century Fox comedy blockbuster of the 1950's. This movie is the very definition of a big, brassy and over-the-top Hollywood of days gone by, and it's all the more fabulous for it. The three leading ladies are wonderful - each providing something different from the other and all of them truly accomplished and talented comedy actresses.
Marilyn Monroe, for my money, steals the show hands down. She is absoloutley adorable in the film and she looks at her most beautiful, too. Many other beautiful women have drifted in and out of film over the years, but in "How To Marry A Millionaire" it should be obvious to anyone that Monroe is the most beautiful of them all, period. She is also puts in the kind of perfected comedy performance nobody else can. Betty Grable is wonderful, and just as hillarious and beautiful. Lauren Bacall leads the way and is pretty much flawless in her portrayal of the money-hunting ladies ring leader. The cinemaphotography is pure 1950's Hollywood and it looks pretty stunning, it has to be said. This was one of the first movies to use 20th Century Fox's Cinemascope format, which was baisically a 1950's version of today's Widescreen technique. With that there are a lack of close-up's. This is something nearly all other Cinemascope pictures fall victim to.
"How To Marry A Millionaire" is a very entertaining movie and a must see for fans of Monroe, Grable or Bacall. The script, although dated in places, holds up pretty well and even provides a rather poignant take on Sexual Politics in places. a true Hollywood gem that remains as sparkly and fabulous as it must have been almost 60 years ago.
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: When Steve Coogan is asked by The Observer to tour the country's finest restaurants, he envisions it as the perfect getaway with his beautiful girlfriend. But, when she backs out on him, he has no one to accompany him but his best friend and source of eternal aggravation, Rob Brydon. As the brilliant comic duo, freestyling with flair, drive each other mad with constant competition and showdowns of competing impressions (including dueling Michael Caines, Sean Connerys and Al Pacinos), the ultimate odd couple realize in the end a rich amount about not only good food, but the nature of fame, relationships and their own lives.

The Trip is one of those films that you never know what to expect from it. It was actually what happened from my personal perspective. I really enjoyed the trailer and synopsis from the very first time I watched it, but I was expecting something different, even though, the film was really entertaining.
The Trip is performed by two of the best British actors and comedians, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. It is a film with some good British humor, filmed in some really beautiful scenery based on the northern area from England. It is a fun journey enjoying the crazy conversations, impersonations and adventures of these two friends, going on a trip, visiting and eating in ten different restaurants across the country.
The film can be a bit slow and boring some times, loaded with some smart and mature humor, something that I really enjoyed. These two guys know how to play their roles like they're really living those lives and help us to enjoy more than those moments and short conversations, but get into the real trip, enjoying all the photography, the gorgeous scenery and all the places they visit.
It is actually a good and entertaining film for a lazy and quiet evening at home. A low pace British humor film that will not just entertain you, but will let you love all those "extra" things that will actually make you enjoy the film the way we did.
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Synopsis: The group of friends had all they would need for a successful Easter vacation; cabin, skis, snowmobile, toboggan, copious amounts of beer and a fertile mix of the sexes. Certainly, none of them had anticipated not returning home alive! However, the Nazi-zombie battalion haunting the mountains surrounding the aptly named Oksfjord (Axefjord) had other plans...
Starring: Vegar Hoel, Stig Frode Henriksen, Charlotte Frogner, Lasse Valdal, Jenny Skavlan
Directed by: Tommy Wirkola
U.S. Rating: Not Rated
A woman, Sara, (Ane Dahl Torp) is being chased through the snows of Norway. She is ultimately cornered and eaten by zombies in World War II Schutzstaffel (SS) uniforms.
Seven students on Easter vacation arrive at a small cabin near Øksfjord. The cabin is owned by Sara, Vegard's (Lasse Valdal) girlfriend. The group begins to drink and party until a mysterious hiker (Bjørn Sundquist) arrives. He tells them the dark history of the region; during World War II, a force of Einsatzgruppe, led by Standartenführer Herzog (Ørjan Gamst), occupied the area. For three years the Nazis abused and tortured the local people. Near the end of the war, with Germany's defeat looming, the soldiers looted all the town's valuables. However, the citizens stage an uprising and ambushed the Nazis, killing many. The survivors, including Herzog, were chased into the mountains, and it was assumed that they all froze to death. The hiker then continues on his way.
The next morning Vegard takes the group's snowmobile out to look for Sara. He stumbles on a tent in which he discovers the disemboweled body of the hiker from the previous night. He continues his search when he falls through the snow into a cave. Meanwhile, after it gets dark, the other students find an old wooden box filled with valuables hidden under the floor. They celebrate by haphazardly throwing the treasure above their heads, and one pockets a gold coin. They eventually decide to stow it back where it came from. Erlend (Jeppe Laursen) goes to the outhouse where Chris (Jenny Skavlan) meet him and the two have sex. On her way to the outhouse, Chris inadvertently drops a gold coin, which awakes a Nazi zombie. After the liaison, Erlend returns to the group. Chris stays to use the outhouse but is attacked and murdered. The others go outside to look for her, finding Sara's rucksack buried in the snow.
The zombies arrive at the cabin. Erlend (Jeppe Laursen) is killed before the remaining students manage to seal the windows and door and survive the night. Vegard comes around in the cave, discovering WWII German firearms and helmets, as well as Sara's severed head. Vegard is attacked by zombies and is badly bitten in the neck by one. He manages to kill them and escape on the snowmobile, which he equips with a machine gun.
Meanwhile, the remaining four students in the cabin decide to split up. The two men, Martin (Vegar Hoel) and Roy (Stig Frode Henriksen), attempt to distract the zombies, while the two women, Hanna (Charlotte Frogner) and Liv (Evy Kasseth Røsten), run for the cars and go for help. En route to the cars, the girls are ambushed and Liv is killed. While she is being disemboweled, she manages to destroy several of the zombies by activating one of their hand grenades. After killing two zombies Hanna is chased to the edge of a cliff by a zombie. She turns and faces the zombie and stomps on the ground, causing the ice to crack, and both of them to fall. Both survive, and are submerged in snow; Hanna digs her way out and kills the zombie.
Martin and Roy, holed up in the cabin, accidentally set fire to it with Molotov cocktails. As they escape, they discover that the shed next to the cabin contains numerous power tools, with which they equip themselves. More zombies attack, but Martin and Roy manage to fend them off with the aid of Vegard, who returns with the snowmobile. However, Vegard is killed during the fight. Herzog arrives with another group of zombies, including SS men, but Martin and Roy manage to kill them all. Martin is bitten on the arm and cuts it off with a chainsaw to avoid turning into a zombie, but a zombie bites him on the genitals. Herzog then raises many other zombies from all around and the two students run. While on the run, Roy is hit in the head by Herzog, disoriented runs into a tree and is disemboweled.
Martin comes to realize that the zombies are after the box in the cabin. He runs to the burnt-out remains of the cabin, and gives the box to Herzog. He manages to get away, and, upon reaching the car, a coin from the box falls out of Martin's pocket. Swearing, he looks around to see Herzog smashing the car window.

This movie is a Norwegian comedy horror film and it was much better than I originally thought it was going to be. It had some hilarious parts that I wouldn't have thought up myself, like when one guy is trying to defend the snow cabin by throwing a cocktail they set on fire out the window at a zombie but miss the window and end up setting the cabin on fire instead. There was still a lot of classic zombie stuff going on but adding in Nazi zombies, a surprise ending, and some pretty funny stuff at times and you have a decent film. Worth the watch if you like zombies (and I DO)! It is in Norwegian, so as long as you aren't one of those people who don't like having to read their movies (or if you know Norwegian...) then it isn't bad. I thought the plot wasn't half bad, even if it DID have some stereotypical zombie scenes. Acting wasn't the best you'll see around but wasn't the worst either. The Nazi zombie costumes were pretty good and special effects not bad, as well. It wasn't necessarily scary (unless you get scared over the gory stuff) since it was supposed to have comedy in it. Worth watching if you like zombie comedy films that are subtitled.
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: Frank, Joe, Marvin, and Victoria used to be the CIA's top agents -- but the secrets they know just made them the Agency's top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.
Starring: Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss

U.S. Rating: PG-13
Red was actually one of the good films enjoyed this last Fall. With such an amazing cast (the best of the film), an entertaining plot and some really good laughs, this is one of the films I totally recommend for a good movie weekend at home.
The premise is simple: Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is a former black-ops CIA agent. He hates living a quiet life in retirement. Feeling so bored and lonely, he begins having often chats over the phone with Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), who manages Frank's pension records at a pension office in Kansas City.
Frank's quiet and lonely life is disrupted when a hit squad attacks him and his house in the middle of a night. He inmediately knows that his phone might have been tapped and he leaves for Kansas City to protect Sarah. Frank takes Sarah with him... kidnapped? Sort of, he takes her with him against her will but she inmediately knows that he's really protecting her, when CIA agent William Cooper (Karl Urban) tries to kill them.
Frank goes to New Orleans to visit his mentor, Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman), living in a similar situation (a boring and quiet life in retirement) to tell him about the hit squad. Following some clues, they meet with Marvin (John Malkovich) a paranoid conspiracy theorist who tried to kill Frank in the past. They all meet also with Ivan Simanov (Brian Cox), a Russian secret agent who had a secret romance with the last secret agent of this team, Victoria (Helen Mirren).
They will find that all of the people that have been previously killed were part of a secret list of people working in a secret mission in Guatemala. All of them (Frank, Victoria, Joe and Marvin) are part of the list, so theywork together to find the responsible of this killing list.
The plot of the film is plain and simple. The big success on this film is the great performance of all the amazing cast, along with some smart and hilarious script lines and situations.

This is not a Marilyn Monroe movie that you want to watch. I didn't expect this kind of a movie to have Marilyn Monroe cast in it. The fact is that this movie is about abuse. And it isn't a movie where the ending is good (e.g. she gets away from the abuse). It ends where Cherie (Marilyn's character) feels sorry for the guy that has kidnapped her and ends up staying with him in the end. Men may have enjoyed this movie back in 1956 because he abuses her and still gets her in the end...but I couldn't imagine too many people appreciating this movie now days.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I don't blame Marilyn for the plot of this movie. She still did a wonderful acting job and was as sexy as ever. If all you want to do is see a sexy Marilyn Monroe then this movie is still worth your time
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Obviously I didn't care at all for the plot. It would have been alright if she had left him when she had the chance but the fact that she stays with him makes the ending just not "right."
I would rate this movie with a 1/5

This movie wasn't actually bad but Marilyn Monroe plays a psycho, literally. You might be shocked, however, to know that she played a psycho quite well. To be honest, I didn't know Marilyn Monroe was that good of an actress until this film. I had only seen her in her usual sexy roles. This is definitely not a feel-good movie, though. Don't Bother to Knock is more of a suspense movie. It's worth the watch if you aren't expecting a song from Marilyn.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I liked that Marilyn Monroe played a completely different role than was usual for her
2. Marilyn still looked beautiful in this movie!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It is upsetting that she hurts the little girl she's babysitting
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

If you are a Marilyn Monroe fan then this is a movie you'll love! Let's Make Love is in the top 3 of Marilyn Monroe movies, in my opinion. The story was not only charming but hilarious at times. Even the songs in this movie are amazing and catchy. I actually have a few of them on my iTunes! Honestly, if you like musicals this movie is a MUST SEE! Let's Make Love is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
What did I like from this movie?
1. All of the actors in this movie did a wonderful job! The movie is classic from the start and not just because Marilyn Monroe is in it
2. The song numbers are genius in my opinion. I doubt it is easy writing actual GOOD songs for musicals but this movie pulled it off in spades. Where else could you actually find a song about needed a song to sell??
3. Has a GREAT feel-good ending. What woman wouldn't want to dream about finding a billionaire that falls madly in love with her??
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. For this type of movie, I would say it is virtually flawless. Even some of the cheesy parts can be easily overlooked because of the time period in which it was made
I would rate this movie with a 4/5
