War

Jason Statham plays John Crawford, a bitter cop set on revenge against the person (The Rogue) who murdered his partner. After years of chasing his tail he thinks he might finally be on the trail of the infamous Rogue (Jet Li). I know this movie got horrible reviews, but as an action movie lover I thought it was pretty good. I liked the match up between Statham and Li and the twist at the end of the movie.

Live Free or Die Hard

John McClane (Bruce Willis) is back and this Die Hard is just as action packed as all the previous 3 if not more so. In this Die Hard what McClane thinks will be an easy assignment, pick up a computer hacker and bring him in, ends up getting him involved in a Global attack on all of the United States technology systems. I enjoyed the match between Willis and Justin Long and thought this was a really enjoyable movie. Probably my 2nd favorite Die Hard (the 1st being the best).

3:10 to Yuma

When famous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) finally gets captured no-one is brave enough to volunteer to transport him to Yuma. Finally quiet rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) takes the job and along the way the 2 men develop a respect for each other. I really enjoyed this movie which is surprising because it does not have the happiest of endings. The characters were likable and the relationship between the 2 men was enjoyable to watch.

The Game Plan

In this movie "The Rock" plays Joe Kingman, a professional and highly loved football star whose life is turned upside down when a daughter he didn't know he had shows up on his doorstep. I thought this was a very cute family movie. The little girl steals the show.

Good Luck Chuck

Dane Cook plays Charlie Logan, a boy who seems to be a good luck charm for women who want to find their true love. Once they have been with him the next person they date is "the one". At first "Chuck" loves the attention, but when he meets a girl he wants to keep for himself (Jessica Alba) he tries to figure out how to break the curse. I made it through the movie, but it was really not very funny.

Sydney White

When Sydney White first gets to college she is excited to pledge the same sorority that her deceased mother was previously in. Unfortunately when she starts getting to know the girls in that sorority she quickly realizes that they are not a good match and she gets kicked out. Not knowing what to do, she joins a bunch of misfit boys and decides to go up against the Greek system to make some changes. I enjoy Amanda Bynes and I thought this was a silly but cute movie.

Eastern Promises

When a 14-year old girl dies giving birth to a baby girl the midwife, with only the girls diary (written in Russian) to go on, goes on a search to find the babies family. As the diary is translated she realizes the girl had some involvement with the Russian mafia and that horrible things have been happening. Viggo Mortensen plays the chauffer/enforcer of the mafia bosses wayward son, and soon the 2 are involved in over their heads. Mortensen's acting was great in this movie. I enjoyed this film and I can see why it is up for many awards.
