Deception

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Its not perfect by any means, the script has much to be desired and at times the acting was unconvincing.

Surprisingly I didn’t seem to find the movie overly predictable, however at times its dramatically far fetched.

Notably the complete stupidity of a shooting occurring in broad day light in a busy European city going unnoticed.

All this being said, the movie is entertaining.

Its definitely a mixed bag, where on one hand its very engaging and on the other it has obvious flaws.

I recommend it, you’ll be thoroughly entertained but try not  expect to much.

A disconnected accountant finds his mundane life injected with a new sense of urgency after striking up a friendship with a charismatic attorney.

Jonathan (Ewan McGregor) is an accountant who has lost his passion in life.

When his powerful new lawyer friend, Wyatt (Hugh Jackman), introduces Jonathan to a salacious underground sex club called The List, the dejected accountant soon believes he has found the woman of his dreams (Michelle Williams).

Big Stan

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

I’ve seen many comedy movies in my life, some good and some bad.

Some comedy movies involve large quantities of drugs or nudity to support the humor.

This movie however shows that with the right amount of goof and what you can make a most excellent comedy.

Big Stan tells the story about a con artist that finds himself a ticket to prison for fraud.

This very skinny (please make sure to watch his legs) guy has to survive in prison.

With this movie it makes sure you have a good time, there is a great cast and even the smaller roles are cast with effort.

This movie makes you wish every prison out there had their own Big Stan!

A weak con man panics when he learns he’s going to prison for fraud.

He hires a mysterious martial arts guru who helps transform him into a martial arts expert who can fight off inmates who want to hurt or love him.

Married Life

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Married Life surfs a fine line between the comic and the tragic that is uncomfortable to acknowledge.

But humor definitely wins out in the end, leaving us with an ironic but optimistic view of the flaws that increasingly populate our public and private lives as we grow older.

Cooper and Brosnan achieve a fascinatingly contradictory friendship between two men that is unlike any other I’ve seen on screen in a long time.

Set in 1949, the story opens into a picturesque, affluent suburb where Harry Allen resides with his wife, Pat.

There’s trouble brewing beyond the perfect picket fences.

Harry has fallen deeply in love with a blonde beauty named Kay (Rachel McAdams).

He confesses his secret to his longtime bachelor friend, Richard (Pierce Brosnan), and even introduces Richard to the lovely Kay.

Unfortunately for Harry, Richard is instantly smitten, and makes up his mind that he will do whatever it takes to win Kay for himself.

enjoy! ;) magic
