Review: Chloe (2010)

When a woman suspects her husband of cheating she goes to extreme measures to learn the truth. She hires Chloe to tempt her husband and to help her uncover the truth. But how far is to far?
Chloe, starring Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried as the tiular role, is a twisting erotic thriller that may start out slow, but quickly picks up the pace and doesn't stop until the shocking end.
At first the movie was slow, but as the plot thickened and events started happening, I got completely caught up in the story. Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried were both amazing in this movie and in making their characters believeable. The cast pulled this movie togetehr and had you hook, line and sinker from the start.
With each twist and turn of the story I found myself feeling stuck between wanting to believe the husband (played by Liam Neeson) was not cheating, but at the same time the things Chloe (Seyfried) said could only prove otherwise. After a story changing twist near the end the movie ultimatly leads up to a stunning conclusion that leaves you with a few things to ponder.
With that I would give this movie my stamp of approval. To be honest, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Although not for everyone, it's definetly worth a look.

Review: The A-Team (2010)

With crazy stunts, explosions, and a gorgeous lead cast, The A-Team was a great start to summer movies. It was a fun, action packed movie that was full of hilarious moments and clever plans.
The cast did a wonderful job in each ones respective role. However Sharlto Copley stole the spotlight in many scenes with his hilarious portrayal of “Howling Mad” Murdoch. (Who knew helicopters could do loops?) And if The A-Team really isn’t your thing, the combined good looks of Liam Neeson, Sharlto Copley and Dominic Cooper make it worth every minute.
With a plot that never got boring, it was quite a ride. Maybe it isn’t Academy Award winning stuff, but it’s a fun movie that is entertaining. And honestly, isn’t that what really matters? The plot may not have been layered or complex, although who the real bad guy was and who was really behind everything did have me guessing a bit.
Is there potential for a sequel? Hell yeah. I mean a cigar aficionado, a bat shit crazy pilot, a ladies man and a guy who seriously loves his van who break out of jail and fight bad guys? Yeah. I’d go see another couple movies like it.

Review: Clash of the Titans (2010)


After watching a decent bootleg of the new Clash of the Titans, I'm pretty glad that I didn't waste $10 to see it in theaters. As a huge fan of the original 1981 version, I found this one to be very disappointing. Too much of the story was changed and some of the changes had no real reason to be made.
My biggest beef had to be the removal of a key beloved despite quirky character: Bubo the mechanical owl. The story wasn't the same with his mechanical babbling. Another annoying change was instead of being white Pegasus was black, and his role was cut down to be very minimal. The whole romance between Perseus and Andromeda was complete cut as well.
The only cool things were the scorpion riding Djinn, Medusa looking bad ass and sexy at the same time, Liam Neeson as a very shiny Zeus, and the Kraken.
Overall I felt like it was a waste of time. If you've never seen the original then it's probably easier to like, but die hard fans of the original should avoid this. I remember when I first heard about the remake they said it was going to be an homage to the original. It was anything but that. Instead it was taking a beloved classic and modernizing it into a flashy, special effects driven, action flick.
