New Moon 2nd trailer in English! here we go

Okay so I found the NEW New Moon 2nd trailer that plays before Band Slam in english.  Now i refuse to pay for a ticket to this Band Slam flick just to see the trailer.  So You Tube saves my day again.  I hope I can save yours. Or at least your money for a ticket stub to a soon to be horrible movie.

Here's the new trailer for New Moon in ENGLISH

More Jacob action as to be expected, but at least we get a look at the Volturi scene and Bella's idiotic cliff dive!  




A Perfect Getaway; A flawed Thriller, but a Thriller nonetheless!


So I finally saw A Perfect Getaway, and I have to say it was enjoyable.  However, it is hard to make an extremely good Thriller these days... therefore there were some flaws included.   It definitely wasn't the attractive cast (Mila Jovovich, Steve Zahn, Timothy Olyphant, Kiele Sanchez, Chris Hemsworth and Marley Shelton)  it had to have been the long, played out hike these actors took throughout the entire movie.  I have to say the Plot Twist was good... which gave the movie points for me.  Yet, all I was seeing for about 70 minutes was the beautiful scenic views of Hawaii.
( if I wanted to watch that, I would've settled for the Travel Channel!)

The story goes that a newlywed couple is on their honeymoon in Hawaii and decide to venture out on a dangerously famous hiking trail.  Sydney and Cliff (Jovovich and Zahn) are so intoxicated by their love for each other and their attempt to have the best honeymoon that they are unaware of a murder that occured in Hawaii.  A murder of a young, newlywed couple is buzzing around tourist, however Sydney and Cliff don't hear about it until they're already in the midst of their honeymoon hike.  They are joined with another couple (Olyphant and Sanchez) that guide them to a beautiful secluded beach, but are concerned by another mysterious couple on the same trail (Hemsworth and Shelton).  The tension becomes overwhelming for the two friendly or not-so-friendly couples and plots are made.  However, which one of these couples are not who they say they are? 

With a twist in the end, this movie is adequate for those seeking a decent summer thrill.  The acting was good along with the action that finally made its appearance.  I always look to my girl Milla to make a good action scene!

Funny People... not so funny?


So, I went to go see Funny People, Judd Apatow's mature film about George Simmons (Adam Sandler's) life altering moment as he tries to regain his comedic self through stand up with the help of Ira (Seth Rogan) at his side 24/7.  This film was indeed funny, but only at certain moments.  With George's realization that he has a form of Leukemia, the movie has a mature, somber feel to it whilst trying to be uplifting and funny at the same time.  In a sense, the movie is a total OXYMORON.  

As I watched the film, I found myself laughing at the jokes that the "bad" comedians were telling during the stand-up scenes.  The actual acting on Adam Sandler's part was good, however, at times I just wanted the movie to end.  Towards the end, (so I thought) George visits his ex (Leslie Mann) and tries to reconcile while igniting old flames.  The entire time, Ira is saying "can we just leave, let's just go"... I was saying the same thing.   The movie was a surprising mature film for Judd Apatow, and I found it enjoyable.  However, there was something about it that was just off to me.  
I don't know, maybe its the fact that comedians are "PLAYING" comedians... and it was just a stretch.   Anyway, the movie was simply OK to me.  I woudn't see it again, but I may rent it when it is released on DVD.  :)
