Knight and Day

Knight and Day

Running Time: 102 minutes

Summary: June Havens finds her everyday life tangled with that of a secret agent who has realized he isn't supposed to survive his latest mission. As their campaign to stay alive stretches across the globe, they soon learn that all they can count on is each other.

Review: Every once in a while I am able to be completely surprised by a movie. I know, shocked, I am judgemental, but for the most part, it's pretty accurate. I was curious about this movie but because of my preexisting dislike for Cameron Diaz, I wasn't planning on giving this one much of a chance.

Well, I was very happy to be mistaken.

The movie is completely enjoyable! A very carefully calculated mish-mash of action/thriller and romantic comedy! Tom Cruise's character is charming, refreshingly honest and exciting. Even, Cameron Diaz is surprisingly funny and entertaining. They even managed to hold the cheese at bay until right at the end, where it seeps in and I find myself back to eye-rolling and heavy sighing and Cameron Diaz's dumb ass.

Anyhoo, a perfect date movie.

Salt

Salt

Running Time: 99 minutes

Summary: Evelyn Salt is a CIA agent and highly respected by all, including her boss, Ted Winter. Out of the blue, a Russian spy walks into their offices and offers a vital piece of information: the President of Russia will be assassinated during his forthcoming visit to New York City to attend the funeral of the recently deceased U.S. Vice President. The name of the assassin: Evelyn Salt. Concerned about the safety of her husband, who she cannot contact, she goes on the run. Winter refuses to accept that she is a mole or a double agent but her actions begin to raise doubts. Just who is Evelyn Salt and what is she planning?

Review: The only way that I am going to get that 99 minutes back is if it Doc Brown shows up in his Delorian. What a waste.

The only thing more predictable than the story of this movie was the fact that from within the first 10 minutes I knew that this was going to be a massive waste of my time and snacks. If I wanted to watch a show where I knew exactly what was coming next, I would have re-runs of the Deadliest Catch, at least then I would have been entertained.

Although it was predictable, the story had some potential. Unfortunately it was poorly done, poorly acted and poorly cast. Stick with what you know Angelina, go expand your troupe of unwanted rug rats, pretty soon you will be able to compete with Duggar's for largest family of neglected and indistinguishable brats.

And maybe I am superficial, but when an actor wears a bad wig in a movie and pretends that it's real hair, I can't get past it! It distracts me the entire time, and Angelina wears some brutal wigs!

Get Him to the Greek

Get Him to the Greek

Running Time: 1 hour and 49 minutes

Summary: Aaron Greenberg (Hill) gets things done. The ambitious 23-year-old has exaggerated his way into a dream job just in time for a career-making assignment. His mission: Fly to London and escort a rock god to L.A.s Greek Theatre for the first-stop on a $100-million tour. His warning: Turn your back on him at your own peril. British rocker Aldous Snow (Brand) is both a brilliant musician and walking sex. Weary of yes men and piles of money, the former front man is searching for the meaning of life. But that doesn't mean he cant have a few orgies while he finds it. When he learns his true love is in California, Aldous makes it his quest to win her back right before kick-starting his world domination.

Review: Well yet another hilarious release from the genius that brought you Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Although this movie doesn't have the polish or mainstream appeal of either film, it offers a hilarious repertoire of comedy genius. I mean, you just can't expect just anyone to enjoy a well timed "dildo in the face" joke.

Russell Brand is hilarious as Aldous Snow and although a movie starring this character would be way too much, Jonah Hill makes a brilliant foil for his non-stop partying. Even P-Diddy or Puff Daddy or Sean Combs or whatever the f**k his name is was hilarious in it! Some of the best lines in this movie were his alone! Even Rose Byrne and Elisabeth Moss, two actresses known for playing more serious roles lend themselves well delivering their carefully crafted dialogue with precision and perfect comic timing.

Anyway, great movie, if you have any appreciation for the direction that comedy is currently heading in, don't miss this movie!
