Hit and Run

Thank god I saw this movie for free cause it was not worth ticket admission. Dax Shepard stared, directed, wrote, and edited this film, knowing he directed and wrote this, you know its going to be bad. The film did have some hilarious scenes, overall I still found it boring which is incredible to me that he actually made an action film boring. I only went to see this because of Chenoweth, she is barely in 15 minutes of this entire film. I did like that Sean Hayes appears right at the last minute of the film. I was a big fan of his when he played Jack on 'Will & Grace' he is super funny. Bradley Cooper is the lamest bad guy ever, he seemed more like a wannabe bad guy than an actual bad guy. I predict that this movie will tank. So save your money for something more worthwhile, say saving an endangered species of animal or plant, just don't waste your money on this. 

The Expendables 2

If you love over the top action films with incredible and hilarious cast members then this is the movie for you and everyone else. Have you ever wished to see all your favorite classic action stars in one movie? Well 'The Expendables' was every action movie enthusiast's dream come true and 'The Expendables 2' explosively improved that dream with more Schwarzenegger, Van Damme as the Villain and Chuck Norris. This movie was a great starting block for Arnold, who seems to be getting back into making action movies again now that he is no longer in office and needs money to pay off his problems. And as you would expect, Arnold is in many more scenes, has many more lines making fun of his movies and the cast members ages as well, this was a good comeback for him. Stallone was good too, he and Statham played off each other really well. His fight with Van Damme at the end of the movie was AWESOME! I won't give anything away, but the big fight at the end is really, really good. I actually like the female lead that they had this time over what they had in the first movie. The main female in the first film was just a typical damsel in distress, just someone for Stallone to save and look good next to him. The female lead in the sequel is an agent for Bruce Willis character and has some mad skills: she can fight, is strategic, and can fire weapons with great accuracy. If you saw 'The Hunger Games' back in March then you should recognize the new gun man as Hemsworth who played Gale. In the movie, I would say he is less of an actual person and more of a plot device, he dies just to give the cast a reason to pursue and kill the villains. I loved this movie and I am definitely planning to see it in theaters again.   

The Dark Knight Rises

I didn't have much expectation for this film, because of how good the previous film was; this film is actually worse than the first one. There are some good things about this film such as Bane and Catwoman. The bad things about this movie is the story and some of its logic, or lack of logic as it were. I know that this is a movie and its not meant to be realistic, but it doesn't even follow its own rules of logic. I had a hard time following the story, because there was so much they just threw in and didn't give any kind of backstory to explain. The action scenes are of course the best! The bridges blown up and the football field cracking up and falling apart was really quite good. The Villain's motivation is really confusing, 'What are they trying to prove about society and how does their actions in taking over the city and rigging a nuclear bomb justify that?'. Its not the worst movie, but its not the best either there's not much else to say about it; except that: ANNE HATHAWAY ROCKS THIS MOVIE!   

Anne Hathaway as Catwoman opening a safe.

When I first heard that Anne Hathaway was going to be the next Catwoman in the Dark Knight Rises, I was shocked that they picked sweet, cute, funny, quirky, Hathaway as the clever, sexy, sly, and deadly feline villain. She totally took over this film, she didn't play Catwoman, She was Catwoman! Every scene she was in she dominated with her performance and personality. I definitely would nominate her for best supporting actress at the Oscars next year for this role. If you love Anne Hathaway like me, you need to see her in this movie.
