Abduction

I watched this movie a couple of weeks ago… there was not much option and so I chose one that had action.

I have to be honest, I didn’t expect much of this movie. You know… Taylor Lautner, the wolf from Twilight… trying his first movie as the leading character… probably not much there.

But the movie was quite nice…

It’s the story about this guy Nathan(played by Taylor), who has a nice family and a normal teenage life, but after seeing his picture on a Missing Person’s website finds out that his life isn’t so normal after all.

Here’s what I liked about it:

* The fights were more real, the guy actually gets hurt after being punched (if I’m not wrong, he even passes out after receiving a punch), which hardly happens in movies and that helps give it a touch of realism, different from the Mission Impossible type of movies – There is a new one coming out soon by the way… will surely write a review about it 

* The guy and the girl like each other but don’t sleep together, which should be the normal thing in a relationship. The ‘couples sleeping together because they love each other’ kind of thing gets really tiresome/boring/tedious/fake/ridiculous sometimes and this movie didn’t have it, which in my opinion was a big PLUS to the whole story

* There is action, feeling, family and the plot develops nicely

What I didn’t like about it:

* It shows that ‘typical’ teenage life with parties, drinks, popularity, which is just non-sense. This part spoiled the movie a bit… but it was only in the beginning, so you can just ignore it completely after the first 10 minutes

Abduction is an ok movie, but you should probably wait to watch it when it comes out on DVD.

It’s was no Bourne Trilogy but it was good enough.

Real Steel

There are currently no good movies to watch in the theaters and so without much option, my husband took me to watch Real Steel.

I wasn’t too excited about it because, let’s be honest, robots boxing? Not interesting…

But I really liked it!

It’s the story of this man who after making all sorts of wrong decisions in life sees himself for what he really is, a failure. When things couldn’t go any wrong for him, he finds out his girlfriend of 10 years ago died and left their son, who he never cared about, without both parents. He has no money, no bright future to look forward to, no chance to make things right… But can his son’s presence change the way he sees life?

You leave the theatre thinking of how important the presence of a father is in his child’s life and how devastating it can be when he is not present.

I totally recommend it for the whole family; this is the kind of movie you can actually take your kids to watch! And as the story between father and son unfolds, you even start enjoying the robots fighting… trust me lol

Incepted Saga Finale - Friends with Benefits

Please read the title of this post again...

Now, do I really need to say anything else about this movie?

No, but I'll say it any way.

If you are smart, you will not even want to watch this movie. I didn't and never will. Why would I want to pour pure garbage in my brain? Why would you??!!!!!

Anyone who tells you that you can have casual sex with your friend, not have any strings attached, not be emotionally attached, not have any kind of commitment, give yourself to whoever will have you and still go about your life as if nothing happened is sick, and does not deserve your attention. If you have friends who would do that, then perhaps you should consider getting yourself new friends.

I tell you, this movie makes me want to throw up!

It's such garbage!!! I cannot stand talking any more about it!

Once and for all, THINK. OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL DO IT FOR YOU... like these guys who produced this disgusting movie!

Incepted Saga - Something Borrowed Part II

Continuation from yesterday…

From the beginning, you root for Rachel, after all she is the one who met the guy, she had everything in common with him and Darcy comes along and just kind of steals him from her.

Although Dex is engaged to Darcy, he really likes Rachel. But wait a minute! What are you doing getting engaged to someone if you really love someone else? Well, this movie will give you the idea that it’s ok, it happens. Right.

Then, after a shared ride on a taxi, Rachel and Dex end up declaring their love for each other and guess what else? Sleeping together. Now there is this big problem: Dex betrayed his fiancée and Rachel betrayed her best friend. If you are a true friend, then you know that you NEVER, EVER even look at your friend’s boyfriend or husband in any other than just as your friend’s boyfriend or husband! That is, if you ARE A GOOD FRIEND.

But Something Borrowed hints that in this case it’s no problem and here are the ideas they use in the movie to justify and make you agree to this:

Rachel saw him first and Darcy ‘stole’ the guy from her – Give me a break! If the guy really wanted to stay with her, he would have, despite of what Darcy did or didn’t do. It was his choice to stay with Darcy.

Darcy is just spoiled – Again, no reason to sleep with her boyfriend, after all Rachel continues to be friends with her in spite of her being spoiled.

They were meant for each other – That’s all well and good, but it was no reason for her to just go and be with a guy who had a commitment with someone else.

He loves Rachel, his friend, not Darcy, his soon-to-be-wife – So, what would be the right thing to do? Break up with the girl he ‘just realized’ he doesn’t love and stay with the one he does love. Don’t stay with both!

 Darcy doesn’t love him – Same as above.

Darcy cheated on him – They paint this really ugly picture about Darcy, that she doesn’t deserve him, that she cheated on him, that she is selfish, arrogant, backstabbing etc, which might all be true, but it does not justify what happens in the movie. Yes, you would like Dex and Rachel to end up together, but not by doing all the wrong things and not going about it the wrong way.

Do you want to know the ultimate lesson in this movie?

If you love someone and you feel you are meant to be together, you should do anything in your power to get the guy… even if he is somebody’s husband.

Now, you don’t realize that when you are watching the movie, do you?

THINK or someone else will do it for you!

Incepted Saga - Something Borrowed Part I

After many changes I had to make in my daily to-dos, here I am! I’m back and have many things to write about… I just didn’t get the chance to actually come here and post them :( How bad is that?

So, continuing my ‘Have you been Incepted?’ Saga, I want to tell you about yet another movie that falls right into the category of these kind of movies. In case you have no idea what I am talking about, please read my previous posts here.

The movie Something Borrowed is about this girl called Rachel, who has had this friend called Darcy, since her childhood. They did everything together and really loved each other, but had very different personalities.

Rachel goes to university and there she finds this guy called Dex, who is just like her, they become friends and soon she falls in love with him. Then, one night she wants to introduce her new friend to her life-long friend Darcy, but Darcy, with her charming manners, start taking over the conversation and Rachel’s new friend. So Rachel never gets to tell him how she feels about him and their relationship remains just as friendship.

A couple of years later, guess who Darcy is engaged to? Dex; Rachel’s love.

Ok, now that you understand a little bit of the story, let me tell you why this is NOT a good movie.

To be continued tomorrow…
