Long Over Do Movie Reviews

Hello internet, bloggers, and friends

I have been watching many movies lately and not sharing my thoughts on them. Which is a shame as there are some good films out there worth seeing (like Law Abiding Citizen) and some not so good films you can skip (like Couples Retreat & Men who Stare at Goats).

Ninja Assasin
It is crazy bloody & gory. When I read the reviews it said there was some gore and it is mostly in the first 15 minutes but the fight scenes through the entire movie are bloody!! The story is basic & let's be honest the acting was not great (It's a Ninja Movie no one wins Oscars for a Ninja movie!). The fight sequences were well done & what carried the movie. I heard the director was banned in Europe & I now know why.

Couples Retreat
It looks good as we see the wonderful dynamic duo from Swingers reunited but that was the last & only time these two starred in a good comedy. Vince Vaungh offers some decent lines but nothing was laugh out loud funny. None of the couples are likeable or relatable enough that the audience connects with them or wants them to stay together. The script is original & cute but trys to be more of a drama than comedy and neither worked.

Law Abiding Citizen
Fox & Butler are amazing!! The script is crazy original cool & well written. The action sequences are good & it carries along at just the right pace to keep an audience member interested. The ending could use some work but all in all I can't complain. This is hands down one of the best action & thriller movies I have seen this year.

Men who Stare at Goats
The best parts of this movie are in the trailers. It doesn't get any better watching the movie. It gets weird and worse with no really satisfying ending. Watch the trailer & skip the movie!!!
