Up in the Air

Up in the Air, which is directed by Jason Reitman, stars big names like George Clooney (Ryan Bingham), Jason Bateman (Craig Gregory), Danny McBride (Jim Miller) and the storyline is a comedy, drama, romance. The movie is pretty much about Ryan Bingham and the specialized job he has for a company that fires employees for other companies and as he travels around the country working the storyline goes on to incorporate, family, coworkers, and even a relationship. The movie was a bit trashy at times and to describe it's effectiveness as a film I would like to say some aspects of the characters did in fact come off as pretty cool and interestingly in the end it seemed to me you are sort of left with what seems to be in a way an abstract piece of artwork in which you can make the sense of and how the matters were interjected in the story throughout with there reason, purpose, message or what have ya. More specifically if you are in the mood to some extent to hear the story of what it is like to be a single fellow, but also interested in a relationship that had been developing, and whom basically loves living at work through flying around the country so much and who tries to keep in touch with family, with an ending that you might see from various angles, then this has to got to be your movie. And so my last concluding thought so as not to be too abstract is that this movie I think would probably be considered for the Hollywood entertainment purposes by most reviewers to be around a 7 out or 10 happy stars! Well, Cheers until next review which will definitely be guaranteed no later then titles like Iron Man 2 or Alice in Wonderland, which I have most recently seen advertised out there.

Banana Record

This link above is rather entirely random for this blog, but this is something I did a while back for the fun of it and in a way it kind of turned into a short, short movie clip thing of a kind, so I thought I would share it on my movie blog for the heck of it; cheers and good luck if you are ever inspired like I was to do something similar, or the same and what not.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Directed by Wes Anderson, this animation, adventure, comedy, family movie stars big voices like George Clooney (Mr. Fox) Meryl Streep (Mrs. Fox), Bill Murray (Badger), Owen Wison (Coach Skip), William Dafoe (Rat), Jason Schwartzman (Ash) and others. Well I certainly like what they tried to do with this movie, as it seemed like I was watching a concept from the cartoon-animation and puppet world together. The movie is about angry farmers trying to get rid of Mr. Fox and other animals that have been out to take their chickens. Well at some points I almost felt a little bit bad for the farmers, but don't get me wrong I am an animal lover in every way. So yeah Mr. Fox is a bit of a maniac but he is overall a good guy who is also good to his friends and family and I found the characters highly amusing at times. I mean come on who does not just love watching a talking badger from time to time, just talk to the people that make the Geico commericals you know. Although if something like a badger randomly starting a conversation with me happened in real life I am not entirely sure yet if I would cry or laugh at first for some reason. But yeah this movie was amusing enough, although I don't think it will get the animation movie of the year award, but I believe it is not a bad pick if you want to escape into the world of talking wild animals for a while; so I would have to rate this movie around something like 7 and 1/2 angry befuddled farmers out of 10!

It's Complicated

It's Complicated is a comedy, romance, directed by Nancy Meyers, with Meryl Streep (Jane), Alec Baldwin (Jake), Steve Martin (Adam) and others. Well if a movie title ever fit its role I think its this one, now that I am thinking about how to talk about this complicated romance film. Anyhow the story is that an old divorced couple Jane and Jake re-create their romance in their relationship after attending their son's graduation, however Jake is currently married to someone else and well from their you guessed it the fun continues so to speak. I guess this movie could be the new type of crazy chick flick if they make a sequel, but just geared more for baby boomers. Although the actual premise of it's message seemed a bit sketchy at times for sure I think most in search of a romance will find this to be amusing and captivating partly because the acting names are so big, but also I think simply because Jake, Adam and Jane are all such characters. So I think this movie might just be a descent pick, just perhaps an 8 or something as far as my own taste buds for movies go and I would say perhaps more like a 9 compared to any other big romance movies that I know are currently playing in theaters world wide this week.

Law Abiding Citizen

Directed by F. Gary Gray this crime, drama, thriller stars Jamie Foxx (Nick Rice), Gerald Butler (Clyde Shelton), Colm Meaney (Detective Dunnigan) and others. The movie is about Clyde Shelton whose family became victims of a crime and Clyde takes the law into his own hands after one of the criminals are released, however Clyde also sees the district attorney and others as targets of a sort that need to be taught a lesson. Well I think it might be kind of hard to debate that this movie did not have at least just a few moments that might be a bit silly, in other words probably not realistic, but I still thought this movie was a top notch action kind of film. It seemed to me that you can become channeled into the film not only because of the events you think will take place but also because of the enigma of the main character Clyde and what he is capable of. I think it is interesting in a way also that some of the villain line up is unusual and not necessarily something that could be debated upon who on the whole is more or less a villain; and for that matter I think one could debate if the title of the movie is fitting perhaps but I think you will know what I mean when you see the picture. I think this movie was well thought out much more then like a typical die hard movie or something and that the characters are so interesting that I think you will surely enjoy this action, thriller tale that at time I think will put you on your seat through some of the excitement and the couple of scenes that might also make you cringe some.

Sherlock Holmes

Directed by Guy Ritchie, starring Robert Downey Jr. (Sherlock Holmes), Jude Law (Dr. John Watson), Mark Strong (Lord Blackwood) and others; this movie is an action, mystery, adventure, crime, thriller. The plot essentially is about Sherlock and Dr. Watson going after Lord Blackwood whom has an elaborate plot that tries to defy all of England and bring a great amount of power under his control. I really enjoyed the plot of this film because it is dynamic in a sense that I found one big matter could really be occurring and yet another plausible action in actuality could be happening and yes I am talking about some of Lord Blackwood's plans in a way. I have to say although Downey talks a little fast and it seemed it was almost hard to hear him at times I think the character was great for what a real Sherlock would be like and I think you will find his character is surely put up to a intense challenge by Blackwood in this fictional story. I thought the movie had a nice kick of everything from humor, suspense, wit and even a little romance and so forth. So yeah I would recommend this movie it seemed like typical Hollywood fun, which I was looking for and I am glad to see such a legendary character like Mr. Sherlock Holmes come to life on the big screen. Oh and P.S. since I am a dork, perhaps if you somehow disagree with this posting perhaps at the end you should just say in the spirit of my boy Sherlock you haven't a clue or something amusing like so!
