The Truth About Love

Another Jennifer Love Hewitt love story movie set in London. I like the accent. The story is about an adulterous husband getting caught by his wife when she tries to anonymously flirt with him. It was a nice movie. Maybe watching it in Gateway mall with noisy girls in the back seat saying stupid comments aloud messed up the experience for me. Jennifer looks gorgeous with long hair. The bollywood actor played the husband. I didnt like him. Anyway, its ok to watch if youve seen Valiant and The Longest Yard.

The Longest Yard

This is the second movie we watched today and it was a good decision. This movie is so hilarious. Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in one movie - need i say more? This is a story of a washed up Football player getting arrested and forced to fix up a team composed of Convicts to play against a team made up of the guards in the prison. The gay cheerleaders were really disconcerting. The other Convicts in the team were equally funny. If you were to watch only two movies this week, i say that this is one of the two you should watch and Valiant being the other.

Valiant

This is the first of two movies we watched today. It was very funny and entertaining. I enjoyed it but a kid would, too. It is a cartoon story of a pigeon joining the "armed forces" of britain and fighting in World War II along with humans. Their enemies, the falcons, their allies, the mice of france. The lines were funny as well as the characters. Of the four new movies this week, this is one you should watch.

Must Love Dogs

This movie is about some middle aged people dating and trying to get over divorces, separations and whatnot. A chick flick that is moderately amusing. I actually fell asleep in the middle. Its ok though. Looking forward to just watching the Skeleton Key.

The Great Raid

This is a pretty cool war story about a group of 117 US Rangers attempting to rescue the Prisoners of War in the Cabanatuan POW Camp held by the Japanese. It was entirely filmed in the Philippines. Even featured some Filipino guerillas led by Cesar Montano as Captain something (I cant get the name those crazy americans keep mispronouncing). Anyway, it is a pretty cool movie. Cesar has a number of feature scenes. He had a good role. Hope we see more Filipinos in Hollywood movies. The good ones though, not the ones we would be ashamed to see on the silver screen.

Crash

This movie is actually quite interesting once you get past the middle. It is a convoluted story of the lives of several people of different colors demonstrating the state of racism in Los Angeles. If you haven't been to LA then you might think that it might be an exaggeration but it is actually quite close to the truth. Good to watch if you've already seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Yes, this is a remake (not a sequel) of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory formerly starred by Gene Wilder. It is different like how ponkan and california oranges are. I keep looking for the familiar songs, not there. Johnny Depp in this version is a psychotic chocolatier as compared to the more distinguished version of the old version. Must be because Tim Burton, the director, is as twisted. The movie was fun though. It had lots of hilarious moments. The squirrels rock. I dont know if it was just a budget cut or just the desire to use computer graphics but .... just wait for the oompah loompahs! ;)

Wedding Crashers

This is a very funny twisted love story about a couple of guys who crash weddings for fun and girls. They end up falling for some girls they meet in a wedding and that is where stuff begins to happen. Not really a chic movie so if youre a guy bringing your girlfriend, beware. Fun to watch though. Practically a B movie but not a waste of time and money.
