The Town

Ben Affleck as:Doug MacRay
Jeremy Renner as:James Coughlin
Rebecca Hall as:Claire Keesey
Blake Lively as:Krista Coughlin
Chris Cooper as:Stephen ManRay


Ben Affleck is a great actor.  He has shown us this on multiple occasions such as:Pearl Habor,Dare Devil and Armageddon.  As far as his directing goes,he overshoots his boundaries.  He has proved to be a fabulous director,as he did also in Good Will Hunting.
The Town portrays the criminal lives of Doug MacRay and James Coughlin.  They are bank robbers, and are very good at it.  After MacRay meets one of the girls that they held up,he falls in love with her.  Little does she know what he actually does.

I cannot even begin to express how great of a movie this is.  The acting,the directing,the phenomenal action sequences,everything about this movie thrills.  The way that the actors portray their characters and they emotion they add to them is incredible.  This is by far,the best movie of the year.

The Hunted

Tommy Lee Jones as L.T. Bonham

Benicio Del Toro as Aaron Hallam


Aaron Hallam is an ex-military officer.  He has been trained to survive and to kill.  He,unfortunately,has used these training for the wrong purposes.  After Hallam kills two deer hunters in the woods,L.T. Bonham,who has taught Hallam everything he knows from the military, is sent to track him down.

The unfortunate things about this film are that it was not as exciting as it could've been.  It is a combination of other movies such as;"The Hitcher",and "The Fugitive".  Which were both very intense movies.  This one,not so much.  It tries to be intense,but doesn't quite grab you like it should.

On the other hand,the action sequences were great.  Tommy Lee Jones showed us that he's still got it,and can still play an excellent cop.

Fine performances though from Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro,who.on screen,have excellent chemistry together.

Pineapple Express

Seth Rogen as Dale Denton

James Franco as Saul Silver

Danny  McBride as Red

Gary Cole as Ted Jones

Craig Robinson as Matheson




Pineapple Express is a hilarious action/stoner comedy starring the always funny Seth Rogen and Spider-mans James Franco.
Dale Denton is a processed server and a major pot head.  Dale witnesses a murder committed by the infamous drug lord Ted Jones.  When he runs to his dealer's,Saul Silver's, house he realizes something.....
He had thrown his roach out of his window outside of Ted's house,and didn't realize how rare the pineapple express weed was,and that his dealer was the only dealer in the market who had it.
Now Paul and Saul are on the run for their lives.

Pineapple Express is a laugh-a-minute comedy that does not disappoint.  It stars a fantastic,hilarious cast,and proves,even as the popularity of it,to be a great comedy.  The drug humor mixed in with the raunchy jokes mixed in with the stupidity of Rogen and Franco's characters makes this a hysterical film.

Going The Distance

Drew Barrymore as Erin

Justin Long as Garrett

Charlie Day as Dan

Jason Sudeikis as Box

Chritina Applegate as Corrine

Jim Gaffigin as Phil

Garrett and Erin live two separate lives.  They unexpectedly meet in a bar and start to see each other.   Erin is a news journalist from San Francisco and is visiting New York for a six week job working at the sentinel.  Before she flies back to San Francisco the two realize that they cant live without each other,and form a long distance relationship.

This film shows that a long distance relationship is hard and needs a lot of effort,but,it does good job in showing that in the end,it's well worth it.

One negative thing about this film is that it is not as funny as expected.  Not that the film wasn't funny,because it definitely was.  In comparison to more recent comedies,though,it didn't quite match up.

But still,this is a funny satisfying romantic comedy with a lot of heart and is well worth the watch.

The Reader

Kate Winslet as Hannah Schmitz

Ralph Finnes as Older Michael Berg

David Kross as Younger Michael Berg



The Reader is the story of Hannah Schmitz and Michael Berg;who shared a sexual relationship when Michael Berg was a young adult.  Years after they separate,Michael goes to overlook a court case for his college course.  Hannah is on trial and Michael finds something out about Hannah that he did not expect.

This film was a new kind of story.  As it may be morally wrong,there is no denying that this film is a masterpiece.  It is an intense story that involves no violence or action;it is intense by nature.  Some may think that it is odd that an older woman would share a relationship with a young adult,but it is greatly shown how it would be possible and what it would look like.  Also,it shows the repercussions of having an intimate relationship with someone that you don't know much about at all,which was great.

The Reader is an incredible story that has a great cast,great story and will keep you interested through the whole film.

The acting in this motion picture is unbelievably fantastic.  Leonardo and Kate Winslet have great chemistry together.  They are both greats actors and them working together is gold.  The soundtrack in this film is also incredible,very epic music.

This film is very exciting and adds equal amounts of romance and thrills; an absolute masterpiece.
