2012 Review

2012 is an action movie about the end of the world. It runs 158 minutes, is rated PG-13, and was released in 2009. It stars John Cussack as Jackson Curtis, a divorced and struggling writer. The plot follows him as he and his family get caught in the impending destruction of the world as we know it. While camping at Yellowstone, Jackson enters a restricted area and discovers a lake he knew as a kid was dried up. Eventually he begins piecing together information to help save his family.

This movie was a decent movie. It had amazing special effects throughout the movie. My favorite scene in the movie is when Jackson and his family meet a Russian with a AC-130 cargo plane. They begin to fly out of the city they are in as a giant ash cloud begins hurdling at them. They manage to fly out of the city as it splits down the seems, causing the buildings to crumble and fall down a giant chasm. There are parts in the movie where the graphics are horrible, such as the limo scene. The beginning was also very slow and boring with little action. I would recommend this movie as a rental.

Knight and Day Review

Knight and Day is an amazing action/comedy. It runs 109 minutes, is rated PG-13, and was released in 2010. It stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in this movie. Tom Cruise plays as Roy Miller, a secret agent that is protecting a young man who created a perpetual motion energy source. As he is entering an airport, he meets June Havens (Cameron Diaz), a young woman that is scheduled to board the same plane as him. While she is in the bathroom, a group of secret agents attack Roy and he successfully kills them all. Roy and June then proceed to go on a series of adventures to protect the boy and his invention.

I would recommend this movie to just about anyone. It has a lot of hilarious segments and the comedy is clean. There is a part where Roy shoots one of June's friends in the leg and tells him it will be alright and he will get a medal for it. Later on in the movie, June visits an elderly couple that has the typical wife wants to adventure, husband is a pessimist relationship. I cannot think of anything that I can scrutinize with this movie.

Step Brothers Review

Step Brothers is a hilarious comedy. It is rated R, runs 98 minutes, and was released in 2008. It stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as Brennan Huff and Dale Doback. The two men are in their late 30's when their parents got married. Brennan and Dale still live with their parents and decide to attempt to ruin each other's lives. Soon, they decide to join teams and get back at Brennan's brother, Derek. Eventually, they become best friends in their quest to become adults.

I love this movie, but it is not for people that easily get offended. It has a few very crude moments. There is a scene where Brennan has to lick a dog turd that turned white. There are some other parts that have sexual themes that are not appropriate for children. If you don't mind crude themes, this movie is hilarious and is a must-see movie.
