Synopsis: Three obsessive bird watchers go off on their "Big Year," duking it out to spot and record the highest number of species in 1998--the year El Nino brought an unprecedented number of species to North America. During the course of their wild, ultra competitive adventure, the guys learn that there just may be other things more important than winning.
Starring: Steve Martin, Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Brian Dennehy, Anjelica Huston, Rashida Jones
Directed by: David Frankel
U.S. Rating: PG
How could this film not get the attention it really deserved?! I must say it has been actually one of THE best films I've watched so far this year.
First of all, I'd like to explain what a "Big Year" is. According with Wikipedia, a Big Year is an informal competition among birders to see who can see or hear the largest number of species of birds within a single calendar year and within a specific geographical area. A Big Year may be done within a single US state, a Canadian province, within the lower 48 continental U.S. states, or within the American Birding Association area (i.e. the 49 continental U.S. states (including Alaska), Canada and the French islands St. Pierre and Miquelon, plus adjacent waters to a distance of 200 miles from land or half the distance to a neighboring country, whichever is less. Excluded by these boundaries are Bermuda, the Bahamas, Hawaii, and Greenland).
So, the film is about three different stories that are combined in this particular annual event. Kenny Bostick (Owen Wilson) is the best birder. He's won the most recent yearly competitions and even has set some important records. He's the man to beat. He's married to his BEAUTIFUL wife Jessica (Rosamund Pike), living in a great house, and they've been working on the plans to have their first baby, even though, no matter how great his life is, his real passion and love is "birding". Brad Harris (Jack Black) works on an office while he learns and memorizes every single bird sound. That's his passion, his goal and dream, to participate in the annual birding competition, and beat the best, Kenny Bostick. The only problem is that he doesn't have the money, time off at work and especially, his family support. His dad believes he's a loser for working on these dreams and doesn't waste an opportunity to express that. And finally, we have Stu Preissler (Steve Martin). A successful business man who wants to retire, leaving the direction of his empire to the company board, while he takes his time off to go and do what he's been dreaming and preparing for years, birding.
The film brings some really funny and entertaining moments, amazing landscape views, a fresh joyful story, but most, most important, such an amazing moral message at the end of the film, when every single one of these participants learn their most important lesson in life, good and bad ones.
I really, really enjoyed the film, every single minute of it, the moral message and the excellent and hilarious performance of this amazing cast.
I would rate this movie with a 5/5

At first Nova Prescott is infuriated at a classmate who nearly destroys her plans for prom. But the closer the big day gets, the more she realizes that he may be the perfect date.

I think that teenage and prom romantic/comedy/drama films are just like a Russian roulette. You will be lucky if you ever find a good one that would succeed the expectations. You will either find that these films are either extremely dumb or extremely cheesy. In this particular case, I'd say that it combines not just these two things but also, a poor acting performance.
I'm not attracted to these kind of dumb, cheesy teenage films. I particulary find them too childish and boring, but being a well promoted film while it was on theaters, I decided to give it a try on DVD. Well, I must confess that I actually watched the whole film. It was not because it was a pretty good, entertaining and interesting film, but because it was so bad, so cheesy that I felt so motivated to keep watching it. It was like a drug! I felt like being a junkie, in need of this drug, that even though I knew it would be extremely bad for my mental health, I couldn't stop watching it.
I must admit that as soon as the film finished, I went to bed and started laughing and discussed it with my wife Mary, since she would understand me. If there's someone who loves cheesy movies, that's her! She watched the first 3o minutes of the film and she recognized it it was too cheesy for her taste. So there you go, you might have an idea of how it was.
Anyway, if you'd like to know more about the film, here's the plot:
Prom brings the story of school teenagers Nova, Mei, Ali, Brandon, Lloyd, Simone, Lucas, Justin, Jordan, Jesse, Tyler, Tess and Rolo. Nova is the class president and she has a crush on Brandon. She hopes he will ask her to prom.
Meanwhile, Lloyd, the "invisible" guy at school, is complaining about prom to his stepsister, Tess because he has no date but she encourages him to just ask someone. Elsewhere at the school, Tyler is confronted by his girlfriend, Corey, Jordan, who assumes he is cheating on her due to the single gold earring she finds in his car. He assures her this is not the case, and Jordan believes him.
"Bad boy" Jesse Richter has been missing school lately and showing other "unacceptable" behavior, such as riding his motorcycle on school grounds. Principal Dunnan has a talk with him, but is not satisfied with Jesse's attitude. Mei learns she has been accepted into Parsons, which conflicts with the plans she made with her boyfriend, Justin, of going to the University of Michigan together. She is stressed about this and becomes irritable as prom approaches, which she agrees to go with Justin. Sophomore Lucas is attracted to Simone, his lab partner, who he tries to get with the help of his friend Corey.
That night, Tyler takes Jordan to the school's shed, which he has decorated with many candles, to ask her to prom, and she agrees. When they leave the shed, however, they forget to put out a single candle. The shed catches fire and burns down. The next day, a devastated Nova, with no decorations and only three weeks to prom, asks her friends for extra help to pull the dance off, which they all back out of, each listing their own reason.
Principal Dunnan, seeing her dilemma, has an idea, and forces Jesse to help her for Prom, or he cannot graduate. Although Nova and Jesse both are unhappy with this situation, they comply anyway. At school, Lloyd is having trouble finding a date, even with the help of his sister. As one thing goes wrong after another, Lloyd loses confidence and becomes frustrated.
Later at home, Brandon shows up at Nova's house to tell her he cannot take her to prom, and that she will have to find another date. As the date becomes closer to prom, Nova and Jesse grow closer while working together.
During lacrosse practice, Tyler invites Lucas to the team barbecue, and tells him to invite a girl. Lucas decides to ask Simone, which she agrees to. At Tyler's barbecue, Tyler tries to make a move on Simone, only to be rejected by her. It is made clear they have a history. Simone tells Lucas that if she had known it was Tyler's barbecue, she would not have come. Mei's attitude is becoming worse and worse, and Justin believes she does not want to go to prom. He calls the date off, and Mei is left feeling very uncomfortable. One night, Nova finds out that the neighboring high school has the same theme for their prom as her own. Jesse suggests they take his motorcycle to go check out the other school's decorations, and she agrees. However, they are caught by the police, who call Nova's parents. Nova's father is infuriated with Jesse and insults him.
At school, Lucas is blowing off Corey to spend more time with Simone, and asks her to study for the upcoming test with him, to which she agrees. However, as she is about to go to library, Simone is stopped by Tyler, who convinces her to talk with him. He tells her about his feelings for her. Jordan sees the two talking and immediately grasps the situation.
After school, Nova apologizes to Jesse for her dad's behavior. Later, she takes him dress shopping. Back at school, Simone apologizes to Lucas for having ditched him. She has a surprise, tickets to a concert, where Stick Hippo (his and Corey's favorite band) is opening. Lucas wants to take Simone instead of Corey, much to Corey's dismay. Jordan dumps Tyler for his unfaithfulness, and decides to go to prom alone. This prompts him to ask Simone to prom, which is the same night as the concert, and she agrees. Simone tells Lucas that she is sorry, but she cannot go to the concert.
Mei apologizes to Justin for her behavior and tells him the truth, but instead of feeling hurt that she is going to a different college, he tells her he is proud of her. They agree that they should still go to prom together.
Lloyd spots Lucas sitting outside the school, looking dejected. He learns his situation, and tells Lucas his own mistake with girls and high school. Lloyd tells Lucas that if he really loves Simone, he should tell her.
Two nights before the prom, Nova, Ali, and Mei are in Nova's room, talking. Nova confesses to them that she has feelings for Jesse, which her dad unfortunately overhears. The next day, Nova's father tells Jesse he cannot ask Nova to prom, because he is "bringing her down". That afternoon, Jesse is unusually hostile towards Nova and deserts her.
On prom night, Lucas climbs a tree to reach Simone's window. He tells her how he feels and begs her not to go to prom, but she goes anyway. Disappointed, Lucas realizes what a bad friend he has been to Corey, and offers him the other concert ticket. The two head off to see their favorite band happily.
At her house, Nova is heartbroken, and refuses to pose for the camera in her prom dress. Her father, worried, explains that he was the one who told Jesse not to ask her to prom. Angered, Nova storms out of the house. Meanwhile, at Lloyd's house, it is revealed that he is taking his sister to prom. At Jesse's house, his mother has a talk with him, and he realizes that he should still take Nova to prom.
At the school, Tyler leads Simone into the building, and almost immediately abandons her. Simone finds out from a couple of girls that it was actually Jordan who dumped Tyler, and Tyler had gone to her with no other option. When Tyler asks her to dance (He was crowned prom king and Jordan queen) she refuses and leaves. She goes to the concert parking lot, where she waits for Lucas, and they share a dance.
Nova is having an awful time at prom, and when Ali tells her the fountain centerpiece is broken, she cannot take it anymore. As she is about to leave, she hears the fountain work again, and knows the only person who could have fixed it was Jesse. He walks up to her and asks her to prom. She agrees, and they dance and share a kiss.

Synopsis: In his latest adventure, the most unlikely intelligence officer in Her Majesty's Secret Service must stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI-7's top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect us all. For Johnny English, disaster may be an option, but failure never is.
Starring: Rowan Atkinson, Gillian Anderson, Pierce Brosnan, Dominic West, Rosamund Pike
Directed by: Oliver Parker
U.S. Rating: PG
It's been a while since the first Johnny English was released. I couldn't say that I enjoyed that first one back in 2003, but it was one of those films that you can sit and watch on a boring Sunday afternoon.Never felt motivated to go and watch it on the big screen, just months after being released, got it on DVD. It didn't actually happened with this sequel, 8 years later. Johnny English Reborn is not quite better than the first one, but I must admit that made me laugh more than the first one, and actually get enough motivated to go and watch it on the theatre. Not the best comedy watched this year, but at least was goofy and funny enough to make me laugh a few times.
Jhonny English Reborn is just an old-fashioned British humor, an easy-to-watch film played by one unique actor (Rowan Atkinson), known worldwide as Mr. Bean, the goofy person with no dialogue making all kind of dumb things and getting into crazy funny situations. This time, Rowan Atkinson comes with a fresh, smoother and better-looking comedy, playing one more time the role of Jhonny English, the top secret British spy who's learning martial arts in Tibet as penance for an earlier disastrous mission. The MI7 - British Intelligence Agency (codenamed Toshiba British Intelligence) identifies him as the best agent for a new mission: stopping a group of international assassins before they kill the Chinese premier and cause global chaos. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English returns to his role with gusto. The adventure trying to stop this group of international assassins will make you have some really good laughs.
I would totally recommend it if you're looking for some good laughs watching a light and goofy comedy.
I would rate this movie with a 3.5/5

Synopsis: Successful PR pro Marni heads home for her older brother's wedding and discovers that he's marrying her high school arch nemesis, who's conveniently forgotten all the rotten things she did so many years ago. Then the bride's jet-setting aunt bursts in and Marni's not-so-jet-setting mom comes face to face with her own high school rival.
Starring: Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Victor Garber
Directed by: Andy Fickman
U.S. Rating: PG
I would compare You Again with a painful mix of teen films played by mature and adult people. It was like watching Mean Girls with a touch of Bring It On played by inmature grand parents... Something like that.
The film starts with the tough life of Marni (Kristen Bell) during high school. Marni, an acne-riddled high school senior with glasses and braces is being tormented and bullied by Joanna, the cheer leaders group leader and her friends. Being so insecured about herself and what she can be and achieve, Marni video tapes her thoughts and situation at school. She hates Joanna, she can't help it.
Years later, that young, ugly, insecure Marni is history. She became a beautifu, gorgeous and higly successful professional. She's invited to her brother's wedding, but on the flight home, she find out the girl that is about to marry her brother is Joanna, that girl from high school that made her feel and go through so horrible things.
Joanna seems to be different, not the bully girl from high school. She's now involved in some important volunteer work, being sweet and careful about her new future family. Marni can't accept that change. In the other hand, Gail (Marni's mother - Jamie L Curtis), a cheer leader legend in high school meets Joanna's aunt, Ramona, who's the closest family member invited for the wedding. Ramona is a very successful business woman, but what Gail's family doesn't know is that Hail and Ramona had a history. After being best friends in high school, Gail couldn't forgive Ramona, who pushed her to the pool at Prom, right in front of the love of her life. She couldn't forget that past. When they saw each other, they inmediately brought that old revenge and, as well as their daugther and niece, they will try to hurt and do whatever it takes to beat each others.
At the end, Marni and Joanna, as well as Gail and Ramona, recognize the long road they have crossed and how much they've changed. It helped them to put all those old bad feelings and live their new lives and friendship.
Honestly, it had a very few short scenes and script lines that brought some good smiles to my face. But the truth is that it was a poor film, not funny at all. It was literally a waste of such an amazing cast.

Synopsis: In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon, yes, the moon. Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.
Starring: Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Elsie Fisher, Ken Jeong

This was a particular succesfful year for animated films. We had all kind of great films, including How To Train Your Dragon, Tangled, The Princess And The Frog, Tinker Bell, Megamind, among others. But my two favorite ones are definitely... Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me. It will be tough to decide which one will get the Golden Globes and Oscars this year.
Gru is not a conventional villian. He gets satisfaction on those evil little things, for example, giving a balloon with an animal shape to a kid and then explode it in the kid's face, or just freezing everyone at a coffee shop just to avoid waiting in line, etc. He's a villian with huge plans and evil dreams, but with poor skills to make those plans work. So, even when he thinks he's the smartest villian, the world is facing the power of another smart villian in town... Vector. Vector has stolen the Piramids of Egypt, getting all the attention and respect for his evil work. Gru needs to come with a better and more impressive evil plan, so he decides to steal... The moon!
Gru never planned that three little girls he tried to manipulate to help him steal a powerful weapon, would become more important and meaningful in his life than any other plan or evil actions. Gru finally steals the moon, but it comes with a big price, and Gru prefers to pay the price (save the three little girls) instead of getting the world's evil recognition.
An extremely funny animated film for all ages. I loved the way they included some adult humorous details in this film, giving the fresh content for adults to fully enjoy it.
There's no doubt that my top favorite characters are: The Minions! Those little evil "twinkies" are HILARIOUS!!!
The digital copy recently released in the US comes with some extra content that I DO really want to watch. It is definitely a film that you must buy and have it at home. So I hope to have it for my B-day!
I would rate this movie with a 5/5

This was a particular succesfful year for animated films. We had all kind of great films, including How To Train Your Dragon, Tangled, The Princess And The Frog, Tinker Bell, Megamind, among others. But my two favorite ones are definitely... Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me. It will be tough to decide which one will get the Golden Globes and Oscars this year.
Gru is not a conventional villian. He gets satisfaction on those evil little things, for example, giving a balloon with an animal shape to a kid and then explode it in the kid's face, or just freezing everyone at a coffee shop just to avoid waiting in line, etc. He's a villian with huge plans and evil dreams, but with poor skills to make those plans work. So, even when he thinks he's the smartest villian, the world is facing the power of another smart villian in town... Vector. Vector has stolen the Piramids of Egypt, getting all the attention and respect for his evil work. Gru needs to come with a better and more impressive evil plan, so he decides to steal... The moon!

Synopsis: Sam Flynn, a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn, a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade -- a signal that could only come from his father -- he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe -- a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner. Michael Sheen, James Frain, Beau Garrett

28 years ago, Tron was the Matrix of the late 90s, or the Avatar of this decade. A film that pushed technology to the limits on the big screen, a film to remember. Yep, I'm one of those few movie lovers that had the chance to watch the first Tron... I was just a 10-year old boy. It was the bomb! The most amazing tech film of that era. I said this, because I know lots of "so called" movie lovers that never, ever heard of Tron before. That was one of those films that you HAD to watch, no matter what.
I remember spending hours and hours playing Tron in Intellivision with my neighbor. It was simply... Amazing! When I had the chance to watch the first trailer several months ago, it innevitably brought to my mind all those great times and fun memories. So, obviously, it became one of those "must-see" films of the year.
Tron Legacy brings the story of Sam, Kevin Flynn's son, a rebellious 27-year old man that couldn't coup with his father misterious disappearance 20 years ago. Kevin Flynn, Sam's father, was an innovate software programer and former CEO of ENCOM International, a powerful software and video games company. During an important board of Directors meeting, Sam breaks into ENCOM headquarters, breaks the security systems and hacks their new and most powerful-secure operating system, being able to be downloaded for free. Sam is caught by the police and released few hours later. When he gets back home, Alan Bradley, Kevin's old friend and an executive consultant at ENCOM, went to visit Sam and told him that he was misteriously paged from a disconnected number at Flynn's abandoned arcade. Sam decides to go and check and explore the old closed place and he finds a hidden passage to his father's private computer lab. When he tries to beak into the system, he's transported to The Grid, a virtual domain inside the computer system.
As soon as he gets to the Grid, he's captured by sentinel programs, selected and prepared to compete in the Gladitorial Games (CGs - Precisely the game I loved to play in Intellivision). Sam defeats his oponents but he's questioned when they detect he's bleeding (he's an user, not a program). He's inmediately taken to Clu (Jeff Bridges) which Sam believes is his dad. Clu forces Sam to compete against him and when Sam is almost killed by Clu, he's saved by Quorra, Kevin's personal program assistant. She takes Sam to his father and they finally reunite after 20 years. Kevin explains Sam the reason why he disappeared and never came back, and Sam tries to convince him to go back to the real world, now that the door is open for a limit period of time.
From this moment on, Sam, Quorra and Kevin will try to get to the gate and come back to the real world, trying to evade Tron, Clu and his personal army to get Kevin's master identity disc.
I must say that I really enjoyed the film. Tron Legacy brings some pretty awesome visual effects and top class CGI, Jeff Bridges plays an amazing double role in this film (as Kevin and Clu), along with Olivia Wilde (Quorra) and Sam (Garrett Hedlund). Obviously, they left important clues to let you know that there will be a future sequel.
I've found some crossed and mixed comments and critics, some people have no idea about the story behind this film, since they never saw the first Tron, and that's understandable. I really enjoyed the film. I watched the first film over 20 years ago, I can't remember clearly most of the scenes and situations, but at least I still have some pretty good memories of the plot.
The important thing is that they tried to work the script in a way that you could understand what was happening and enjoy the film without the small details attached to the original film.
If you're a hi tech CGI movie lover, either you watched Tron or not, you definitely should watch this film.

Synopsis: Charlie and Phil are so consumed by their high profile advertising jobs that they are completely missing out on the joys of fatherhood. After failing to excite the public about vegetable cereal, Charlie and Phil are fired from their ad jobs. That means no more expensive day care for their sons at the exclusive Chapman Academy, run by the harsh taskmistress Miss Gwyneth Harridan. While floundering aimlessly in search of employment and tending to his four-year-old son Ben during the day while his wife Kim is at work, Charlie has an idea. If he and Phil can handle taking care of two kids, how much harder can it be to supervise ten? Much harder than they ever imagined. Every kid is different and every one is a hilarious challenge, whether they're suffering from sugar rush, fantasizing about being super heroes, or just demolishing everything in sight, Charlie and Phil soon realize they are in over their heads. Way over their heads.
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, Steve Zahn, Regina King, Kevin Nealon

Another good and entertaining film with Eddie Murphy. It's been a while since we saw Eddie in a good action/thriller film, or at least, a good adult comedy film. He's been totally engaged in these kind of kids comedy films for few years now, so I would really want to watch him in one of those great films who made him famous.
Daddy Day Care is not bad at all. In fact, is one of the best kids comedy films he's played in so far. I totally enjoyed the film. It is a pretty simple plot, but the script is funny and enjoyable. It will definitely make you laugh and will keep you and your kids entertained.
If you haven't watched it yet, Daddy Day Care is about Charlie, a successful advertisement agent who has recently lost his job. He decides to take care of the house and baby sit his little kid Ben, while his wife works. His friend and co-worker Phil lost his job also. On a day out with their kids, they find an opportunity to make some money as baby sitters. With this idea, they decide to open "Daddy Day Care" a home-based child-care service.
Facing some crazy, bizarre and really funny situations, they will soon progress on their business and will become to a threat to an important school in the area.
This experience will help Charlie to share more and better experiences with his son, know him better and see what really matters in his life. When Charlie and Phil get their job back, they have to stop taking care of all the kids they have been attending, but when Charlie realizes how important this experience has been for him and his kid, he quits... convinces Phil to quit and they focus on their promising Daddy Day Care business.
If you're looking for a good and goofy comedy film, this is a great option to watch.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The film brings a really good cast

To be honest, I would rather to watch the comics or TV Series from the 70's instead of watching film. It is not that bad, but seriously, if you were a big fan of the comics and TV Series, you would notice immediately that they were way far better than this film.
It is a good film for kids. With monsters and some digital animation, it will help to keep them entertained.
I must say that the characters were well cast. Not because they had a great performance, but because they really looked like the originals.
What did I like from this movie?
1. If you have kids, it offers some goofy and entertaining situations
2. Very colorful
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Far from what we should expect, since it didn't represent the greatness of the TV Series from the 70's
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Synopsis: When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters: the brilliant but insect-headed Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D.; the macho half-ape, half-fish The Missing Link; the gelatinous and indestructible B.O.B.; and the 350-foot grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement is cut short, however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and begins storming the country. In a moment of desperation, The President is persuaded by General W.R. Monger to enlist the motley crew of Monsters to combat the Alien Robot and save the world from imminent destruction.

I always love to enjoy a good animated film. Monsters vs Aliens is one of those films. I had the chance to watch this film over the weekend (in Blu Ray) and it was such a really entertaining time. I should say that it is not as good as some of the latest (and older) animated films, but it did the job.
The battle between monsters kept by the goverment in a secret location and program is being used to fight the aliens who have come to Earth and battle humanity. Who are the monsters? normal humans who have changed their "human" conditions in independent incidents and experiments. The Aliens have decided to come to Earth to recover a precious rock or mineral that crashed in our Planet. Thinking they're a superior race and minds, the aliens could be considered a bunch of show off! Ginormica, B.O.B., Dr. Cockroach Ph.D., The Missing Link and Insect-o-saurus will fight the aliens and have a great time doing it!
Totally recommended for kids and adults! I really had a good time watching it.
What did I like from this movie?
1. Definitely my favorite monster is Insect-o-saurus. I laughed so hard with him!
2. Such a good cast behind the voices and characters
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Nothing

Being such a big fan of John Travolta's films, I must say that Old Dogs was really painful to watch. I thought this film would be at least as fun as Wild Hogs, but the truth is that it was one of the worst comedy films I've watched within the last 12 months. I didn't feel any chemistry between the actors. Besides that, the plot was extremely simple and empty. For a moment, I thought that a film like Date Movie or any other crappy comedy like those would be less painful to watch than Old Dogs. Sad, since it gathered such a great cast.
There were just a couple of scenes where I could say I honestly had some really good laughs, but mainly, the film wasn't good enough to be considered a comedy, or at least, a good film.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I enjoyed Seth green, Justin Long & Matt Dillon. A few very funny scenes with these guys
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. The plot was too empty and boring
2. What's up with John Travolta's hair? He looks like a dumb old man with that hair cut! Totally against his role... trying to be a playboy
I would rate this movie with a 2/5

Synopsis: "The Tooth Fairy," also known as Derek Thompson, is a hard-charging hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's dreams, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" - bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes-doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Ashley Judd, Stephen Merchant, Ryan Sheckler, Seth MacFarlane
Directed by: Michael Lembeck
U.S. Rating: PG
Let me just start saying that The Tooth Fairy is a film for kids. If you're a big fan of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's action films and you're expecting to get some in this comedy film, don't get too excited because, as I said, it is a kids film. If you don't mind to watch him on these roles, then you might really enjoy the film.
Now, if you watch the film from a grown-up perspective, it might be taken as a silly, cheesy and boring film. If you watch it from a kid's perspective, you'll enjoy the film.
I had the chance to watch it from this last perspective, from a childish, goofy and inoffensive perspective and I totally enjoyed it. The plot is really simple, cheesy, childish, goofy, basically unfunny (even though, there will be some moments and situations that will make you have some good laughs) but somehow... entertaining.
The film is about Derek, a famous hockey player who gets his nickname "The Tooth Fairy" and fame from beating other hockey players and breaking their teeth. He doesn't believe in fairy tails and loves spontaneously to be mean and bold with people, especially, with kids, destroying their dreams, goals and visions.
One night, he gets in bed and finds a magic ticket under his pillow. When he sits at the border of his bed and reads the content of the ticket, he'll notice that he's got magical wings and he's taken to a Tooth Fairy training center. He's been forced to be a Tooth Fairy for a week, since he's been a really mean and bad influence for everyone around him. He needs to learn everything related with his responsibilities and tools to perform his new job.
Derek needs to balance his professional life as hockey player, his personal life dating his girlfriend (one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, Ashley Judd. Ok, that's my personal appreciation. If you have read some of my previous reviews, you'll know that I have a crush on Kate Beckinsale, but she's in second place, since my major crush has always been on Ashley Judd), her two kids and his new responsibilities as a Tooth Fairy. Something that will stress him up and will make him do things that will push away those people he loves and cares the most, but at the same time, the new experience will help him to change his beliefs on Fairy Tails and miracles, helping everyone around him and especially, himself.
If you're looking for a goofy comedy and watch it with your kids, this is a really good option.
What did I like from this movie?
1. This film had such a great cast. How can't you love a film with Billy Crystal?!
2. There are a few good and funny lines
3. I totally enjoyed and laughed at the scene when he visited the second house and just started throwing memory powder to all the family members, got the tooth and threw the money on top of the kid in bed
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I personally believe that The Rock had some fun working on this childish comedy film, but... come on... he's an action actor by nature, and that's what people love the most of him. He needs to go back to his great action roles
2. A goofy and cheesy simple plot with not much to offer
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

1. I personally believe that The Rock had some fun working on this childish comedy film, but... come on... he's an action actor by nature, and that's what people love the most of him. He needs to go back to his great action roles
2. A goofy and cheesy simple plot with not much to offer
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: It's the 21st century, but the gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters have walked out of the pages of high school student Percy Jackson's Greek mythology texts and into his life. And they're not happy: Zeus' lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Even more troubling is the sudden disappearance of Percy's mother. As Percy adapts to his newly discovered status as a demi-god (his father is Poseidon), he finds himself caught between the battling titans of Mt. Olympus. He and his friends embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true lightning thief, save Percy's mom, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.
Starring: Logan Lerman, Brandon T. Jackson, Alexandra Daddario, Sean Bean, Pierce Brosnan
Directed by: Chris Columbus
U.S. Rating: PG
I'll try to be totally objective on this review. Harry Potter, sorry!... Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lighting Thief.
In a world where the Greek mythology gods and goddesses have kids with humans and they interact in between both worlds, Percy Jackson is Poseidon's son.
The story starts when Zeus and Poseidon meet at the top of the Empire State Building to discuss Zeus' missing lightning bolt, which he believes Percy, Poseidon's son, has stolen. Percy finds he can think best when underwater for 7 to 10 minutes at a time (of course, Poseidon was hs father and the god of the sea). His best friend is Grover, who is revealed as a sort of assistant demigod assigned to watch over him. His teacher is Mr. Brunner, who is actually Chiron, a centaur. (played by Pierce Brosnan) Percy thinks he is dyslexic, but it's only that his eyes instinctively turn English into Greek letters. After learning of his real identity, he goes off to Chiron's demigod training camp with Grover, and he becomes friends with Annabeth, a demi-goddess.
He loses his mother at the entrance of the camp and he decides to go to underground and help her to come back, after finding out that she lives and she's being kept there by Hades. He counts with the help of Annabeth and Grover. They will have to travel around the country trying to find three pearls which help them to return from hell once they get there. One of the best attractions among the gods is Medusa, played by Uma Thurman. She (and especially, her head) will play a key role in this film.
Everything rounds around the journey to underground and save his mother from hell. At the end, they have the chance to meet their parents (the gods) and go back to the camp, which I believe will be part of the future films related with this franchise and books.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I must be honest, the film brought some really amazing and entertaining CGI effects
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. It was like watching a lighter version of Harry Potter based in New York City. For those who don't know me, you should know that I'm an anti-Harry Potter person. I haven't read any of the books and have no intention of reading them in the future. I've watched 2 of the 6 films so far and I found them really boring. In fact, I felt asleep while I was watching one of them at the theater, something that never happened ever before! Yes, you might be saying... what?!?! But that's the truth. So, as I said, I felt like watching the American version of Harry Potter
2. The script and dialogues was really light and childish, ideally for kids
3. The cast performance wasn't as good as I'd expect from some of the great actors and actresses involved in this film
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: Michael Jackson takes a final bow in this theatrical concert film featuring rehearsal footage of the late megastar as he practiced for the 100 shows in London that never came to be. HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL's Kenny Ortega handles direction duties as well as choreography chores for the HD-shot film.
Starring: Michael Jackson
Directed by: Kenny Ortega
U.S. Rating: PG
As a big Michael Jackson's fan who would have loved to be in one of his concerts in London last summer, I must admit that this musical-documentary shows the rehearsals of what would have been such an amazing show in musical history. I must admit that I never agreed with all the weird things surrounding his personal life and the way he lived it, but no one, absolutely no one can say that he won't be the king of pop forever.
The best thing about this musical-documentary is that it looks it never was intended to be filmed for public viewing, and it makes it even more spontaneous and original, showing all those little details that made him the best in the pop music world.
On this documentary, MJ goes through some of his best and most memorable songs, giving us a glimpse of what would have been a series of concerts that would show why he was the king. Totally recommended if... you're an MJ fan :)
What did I like from this movie?
1. The songs selection for this documentary was the best
2. All the video material and effects that was prepared for the concerts, especially the material for The Earth Song and Thriller... simply amazing!
3. The band was absolutely impressive, especially the girl and guy playing the guitars
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I would have add more song, music to the documentary, but it was more than ok
I would rate this movie with a 4/5

Synopsis: American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker, lands on Planet 51 thinking he's the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders--like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion "Rover" and his new friend Lem, Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Gary Oldman, John Cleese, Lewis MacLeod, Emma Tate
Directed by: Jorge Blanco, Javier Abad, Marcos Martinez
U.S. Rating: PG
I should start saying that I really enjoyed the funny point of view of the plot... The astronaut that lands in Planet 51 thinking that he'd be the first person to step foot in it, but hey! he finds out that he's not the first person in that planet, but he's also considered as a dangerous alien who's coming to control and destroy the inhabitants of the planet. The inhabitants of Planet 51 suffer of a crazy Alien paranoia, thinking that they will arrive in any moment and will take control of their minds and planet. A pretty basic but charming and fresh plot that can be enjoyed by every single member of the family (I could say that adults would enjoyed it as much - or more! - than kids). Planet 51 offers such a CG animated quality image that could be compared with any amazing quality images from Pixar movies. Totally recommended for kids... and adults!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The CG animated images are simply amazing!
2. Great cast involved with the voices
3. The "alien" dog... my TOP favorite one! I totally laughed when the dog fooled the post man
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I enjoyed the first half more than the second half. Maybe because it was so predictable
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: Widowed Wendy Handler longs to be closer to her thirteen year old daughter, soccer obsessed Becca, so she concocts an elaborate disguise, that of Italian star Lorenzo Fulograppa, and becomes the new 'star' of the girls' soccer team.
Starring: Missi Pyle, Emily Osment, Kristen Wilson, Percy 'Master P' P, Elon Gold
Directed by: Gregory McClatchy
U.S. Rating: PG
I'm not a big fan of these kind of cheesy kids movies, even though, I can say that this film was quite entertaining. Missi Pyle played a funny lead role in this film as the mother and Lorenzo Vincenzo, a famous international soccer player from Italy. Trying to help and motivate her daughter , Missi Pyle will do everything and anything to make her daughter enjoy what she loves the most, soccer. A cheesy plot but really entertaining and freshly played. A good option for a quiet afternoon with the kids.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The make-up was really funny! She actually looked like the guy she was trying to represent
2. As said, it is a cheesy but fresh plot, easy to watch
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Why does every single movie about soccer is represented by women?
I would rate this movie with a 3/5

Synopsis: A science professor's untraditional hypotheses have made him the laughing stock of the academic community. But on an expedition in Iceland, he and his nephew stumble upon a major discovery that launches them on a thrilling journey deep beneath the Earth's surface, where they travel through never-before-seen worlds and encounter a variety of unusual creatures.
Starring: Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, Anita Briem, Seth Meyers, Jean-Michel Pare
Directed by: Eric Brevig
U.S. Rating: PG
Well, I didn't see Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D, so it means that I couldn't get the best of the film. I must say that this film is focused on a very special audience: kids. I need to quote this because I watched the film not knowing it was a kids' film and I got so bored that I almost stopped the DVD after the fist half. Journet to the center of the Earth is a very colourful film with an entertaining plot for kids, loaded with tons of imaginary situations. If you're a big fan of Brendan Fraser and you don't mind to watch him in a kids movie, it is a really good option. If you're expecting to watch the film from an adult's perspective, don't waste your time, you won't get it.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I it quite interesting during the first half of the movie. The second half wasn't as good as the first one, bringing some crazy/nonsense situations
2. The Blu-Ray quality image is amazing
3. I didn't have the chance to watch it in theaters, but most of the reviews have quoted that it was really cool to watch the film in 3D
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Watching the movie from an adult's perspective, it was so weird and nonsense! You're supposedly in the center of the earth, but there's sun light, oceans and wind. Not amazed with these nonsense situations? Let's try having signal on your mobile! I'd like to sign up with that service provider!

Synopsis: Evan Danielson is a successful financial executive who has more time for his blackberry than his seven-year-old daughter. When he has a crisis of confidence and his career starts going down the drain, however, he finds the solution to all his problems in his daughter's imaginary world.
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Thomas Haden Church, Nicole Ari Parker, Ronny Cox, Martin Sheen
Directed by: Karey Kirkpatrick
U.S. Rating: PG
Eddie Murphy is back in another corky, silly but entertaining comedy film. Eddie Murphy seems that he either has been trapped into the same character stereotype for the last few years, playing the same kind of comedies and being away from those great movies that made him so famous in the past. Anyway, Imagine That offers some few great surprises, just like Yara Shahidi's amazing first performance on the big screen, or the weird and so exotic Thomas Haden Church's supporting role. The plot is based on a successful financial analyst who needs more than magic to save his career. Eddie needs to balance his professional and personal life, trying to find time to share more with his daugther, who's been playing with a "magical blanket" that allows her to talk with invisible friends. These friends give her vital information for the future and they help her and especially Eddie, to succeed on his career and financial projects. A really silly comedy with a really entertaining and moral message. A good movie for a family movie night.
What did I like from this movie?
1. I really enjoyed the way the director starts with the scene when Eddie is trying to recover the blanket and get more information for his job, the way he starts in the middle, goes back and finishes almost in the same place
2. Nicole Ari Parker, a beautiful exotic-good looking woman :)
3. Yara Shahidi's performance. This kid played such an impressive and fresh role in this movie. Great presentation for her first time on a movie
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. Eddie Murphy has been playing these cheesy roles for a long time. It's time for him to go back and start playing those great action/comedy roles that made him famous

Synopsis: Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. "Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore.
Starring: Al Gore
Directed by: Davis Guggenheim
U.S. Rating: PG
One of the best documentaries I've watched until this day. No matter how dramatic or eco-horrific it might look, Al Gore put so much statistical facts, information powerful and intelligent arguments all together to present not a "scary" but thoughtful documentary about how our actions directly affect the nature and the world we live in. Al Gore tries to describe not just what Global Warming is, how it works, but how it affects the planet and our lives, especially through all the latest events and natural disasters. I personally learned some amazing details about our planet that I wasn't aware of. Totally recommended... Worth of the Oscar received.
What did I like from this movie?
1. The statistical facts and information presented in such a professional manner and in a very entertaining way
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. So much material, thoughtful facts and information that might not being taken as serious as it should

Once again, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd bring the perfect combination. Lloyd's weirdness and Fox's personality bring a great entertainment for the third sequel of this successful franchise. Better than the second one, but not as good as the first one. I'm glad they haven't gone for a fourth sequel, since it would be such a complicated plot!

Synopsis: Marriage has turned into a crash dive for Brenda Morelli Cushman, Elise Elliot Atchison and Annie MacDuggan Paradise. These three well-heeled Manhattanites were chums during their college days, but they all took different paths. 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." War has been declared, and it will claim some of Manhattan's poshest boardrooms and bedrooms as its battlefields. The First Wives Club is now in session. These are three ladies you do not want to mess with.
