I guess I have to begin with the storyline, so you get the general idea of the movie, well, here you are:-
Gru (Steve Carell) is a mad man who lives in a… -let’s say “different” house/world than the rest of the surrounding houses in a happy suburban neighborhood. In his journey to accomplish his life’s dream (stealing the moon), Gru faces an obstacle. Vector (Jason Segel) “another mad geek guy” is that obstacle. A light bulb shined above Gru’s big head when he decided to use a trio of little orphan girls to win his battle. With the little girls got madly driven in his daily life Gru starts to change. well, not every mad man is a bad man.
I watched the movie and I really liked it. The humor and the unstoppable laughs. The minions’ voices that keeps echoing in your head even after the movie which makes the movie post-effectable. The ending is so predictable as the rest of the animated movies nowadays, I mean they had to do it predictable (the good wins) as the genre Family/Kids or the PG rated movie must be
I have this habit that when I plan to watch an animated movie I try to not know the actors’ (characters’) voices before watching it. I prefer to challenge myself and try to figure them out while watching the movie < kinda stupid huh. Anyway, in this movie I figured out Gru’s voice (Steve Carell), Gru’s Mom’s voice (Julie Andrews) but what was really pissing me off is Vector’s voice (Jesse Segel), Although I would have known his voice from dozenes of actors, because I’m a fan of “How I Met Your Mother” TV-Show.And that’s what killed me.
That what I think makes the animated movie highly performed. Different voices of a known and good actor/actress who you think you can recognise. I mean, The known good performance of an actor but the voice is different. Read the rest of this entry »
This turned out to be one of those over-the-top but real decent thrill-ride type actioners.
Though there are those out there who just won’t cut Angelina Jolie a break, even the haters can’t deny that the girl can act.
She’s excellent in this film, about one of the CIA’s top interrogators who’s accused of being a Russian sleeper agent.
It’s fairly early in the film when the action begins and it runs and runs from there on.
There’s a good twist to plot much later on and we like movies that let you try to figure them out as they go along, rather than force feeding you the answers with dumbed down dialog and screechy music because the writers assume the audience is too stupid to get the obvious story movements.
This one doesn’t do that.
If you’re not a fan of crazy stunt sequences that no one (in reality) would come out of without broken bones, much less survive, then maybe you won’t enjoy this flick too much.
Otherwise, see it, it’s a blast, it’s got a good cast with Liev Schreiber (always excellent) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (ditto), and the storyline rips right along.
Check it out Today!.
As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country.
Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy.
Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture.
Salt’s efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: “Who is Salt?”
It’s also been dubbed as “The Bourne Salt-imatum” you heard it first here at et – the place to be.
The Hughes Brothers, directors of From Hell and Menace II Society among others, have created an interesting and thoughtful action movie, that also carries a message of faith and hope.
The action set-pieces are well handled, and the photography of the movie, is very well done.
While the setting itself isn’t particularly new, along similar lines to Mad Max and other movies of this kind, they still get some pretty impressive visuals.
They are also helped by having two of the best actors around in this movie.
Denzel Washington carries the movie easily and is also very convincing in the action sequences.
Gary Oldman as Carnegie gives a performance more in line with some earlier work, such as Leon than some recent performances but he is always worth watching.
The rest of the cast, led by Mila Kunis all give good support.

Eli (Denzel Washington) has been on a journey for 30 years, walking west across America after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland.
The world has become a lawless civilization where people must kill or be killed.
The barren roads belong to gangs of cutthroats who rob and kill for water, a pair of shoes, a lighter, or just for fun.
Eli is a peaceful man who only acts in self defense, and becomes a warrior with unbelievable killing skills when he is challenged.
Shutter Island is a psychological thriller, starring Leonardo De Caprio as Teddy Daniels, that attacks our fears on an entire new level.
The overall dark tone and bleak state of mind we are in builds and builds, never letting go through out the movies entirety.
The film is thrilling, captivating, and most importantly, extremely entertaining.
Some have complained that they are dissatisfied with the ending and saw it coming from miles away.
Yes, you may think you know where it is going, that you anticipated the right turn when in arrived, but no one will be expecting the sudden left turn it makes in the films conclusion.
While Shutter Island was made by a true master of the film trade, one thing you will find unpleasantly delightful, is the director’s ability to genuinely creep you out in several terrifying scenes.
The film doesn’t rely on loud bags in the silence (although a few do occur, and will make you jump) but more on dark imagery and even darker dialogue that never lets up and brings the tension to a painfully disturbing level.

This one will not escape your thoughts so easily.
It’s 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital.
He’s been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn’t been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister.
Teddy’s shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open.
As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals “escape” in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything …
Most of the people who are hating on this movie haven’t seen it yet, and are saying what others are saying
The bottom line is that it is very funny, with loads of crude jokes, language, situations and content.
If you like over the top humor, then this film is for you .
The movie stands on its own, with MacGruber rounding up a team to take on Dieter Von Cunth.
The hilarity ensues immediately, with joke after joke scoring big laughs.
Overall, very funny with great lines and very funny scenes yet just terrible effects.
It is one of the most hilarious comic produces of Hollywood.
Most people are apt to label it run of the mill stuff that Hollywood churns out mindlessly.
We’d recommend it for a lot of great laughs.
And before you go see this movie, don’t expect a plot, because it’s a based on Saturday Night Live, a spoof of the Secret Agent MacGyver; a show watched by many way back in the 80’s.

Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger.
Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery.
And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet.
In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy MacGruber.
Movies like this must be appreciated for what they are, which is a hell of a ride through a fantastic and mesmerizing end of the world, created by the mind of the director that is the best doing what he knows the most: change the surface of the earth with impressive visual effects.
Disaster movie maven Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) crafts this apocalyptic sci-fi thriller following the prophecy stated by the ancient Mayan calendar, which says that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012.
When a global cataclysm thrusts the world into chaos, divorced writer and father Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) joins the race to ensure that humankind is not completely wiped out.
The movie had a lot of funny lines in it that weren’t in the book, although the movie did use a lot of lines straight from the book; it was very very good.
Twilight fans shouldn’t be disappointed.
Yes there are scenes they left out from the book, yes they changed the relationship between two main characters, but overall it was true to the book, and very very good acting.

But when someone from Bella’s past comes back to haunt her, everything will change again.
An Earthling astronaut gets stuck on what he calls an alien planet.
The local green folks call him (accurately) the alien; the story is a fond tribute to drive-in’s, space-creatures sci-fi, and the 50’s.
With the Area 51 reference in its title, you know the film will be poking fun at everything it can get its hands on, including itself and it delivers this.
There’s hover craft that look like big-finned autos of that era, black & white TV, and pioneer rock ‘n’ roll.
It’s clever humor, although some of this has been done before.
Adults won’t be bored thanks to these in-jokes, and the kids should like the slapstick stuff.
The film boasts a great idea, and some, but not all, of the potential is utilized.
It’s good natured and fun, rating about average for an animated feature.
At least to U.S. astronaut Captain Charles T. Baker who lands on Lema’s planet hoping for a quick flag plant and a hasty return to earth and his millions of screaming fans.
But on this alien planet the media has tagged spacemen as brain-eating, zombie-creating monsters, causing Baker to run for his life and into Lema’s house.
Now it’s up to the green native to get the clumsy astronaut back to his spaceship before military dictator General Grawl and mad scientist Professor Kipple manage to exterminate the Earthly visitor.
