This Means War

This week I watched This Means War. There are two guys that work for the CIA, FDR Foster (Chris Pine), and Tuck Henson (Tom Hardy). They are best friends who do everything together. Tuck is looking for a girlfriend because his ex-wife is starting to date again. He meets this girl, Lauren Scott (Reese Witherspoon) online, and goes on a date with her. His best friend FDR wanted to be close by just in case Tuck needed help so he was at a movie storedown the road. After the date Lauren shows up at the movie store and FDR likes her, but he doesn't realize it's the girl that Tuck likes. They both like the same girl and are trying to be the one that Lauren wants to date. This movie is an Action & Adventure, Romance, and Comedy.

I like this movie because it’s funny and has some action in it. Yes it a romance but it’s still a good movie and it’s not a sappy love story. I think that it is more funny than dumb like most romantic movies are. It actually made me laugh and I would recommend it to anyone who has a sense of humor.

Safe House

This week I watched Safe House. Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a safe house keeper for the CIA, his safe house is located in Cape Town. The CIA brings a man into his safe house named Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) to gather information about stolen documents. The safe house was compromised, forcing Weston to take Frost out of the safe house, and move him to a new location. It is a struggle to reach the new location because Weston is unsure about who he can trust.

I thought it was a phenomenal movie. There was a lot of action and suspense throughout the whole movie. It wasn't a predictable movie, and kept you thinking throughout. They had great actors for this movie and they all played their parts very well.

The Grey

This week I watched the movie The Grey. John Ottway  (Liam Neeson) leads an unruly group of oil-rig roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. On his last day of the job, Ottway writes a letter to his dead wife Ana (Anne Openshaw) and plans to commit suicide. When the plane had crashed there severe injuries, in the middle of a blinding blizzard, and trying to defend themselves from a pack of ruthless wolves. The survivors are mainly trying to escape the ruthless pack of wolves and trying to survive the severe cool weather.


 The Grey was overall a great movie. There was a lot of suspense throughout the whole movie, and a little action here and there. The movie was pretty predictable, but the ending wasn't what I expected. The only thing that I didn't like about the movie was that the wolves looked really fake. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a little suspense.

Man on the Ledge

This week I watched the movie Man on the Ledge. An ex-cop, and now wanted fugitive (Sam Worthington) stands on the ledge of the Roosevelt Hotel building, while a  New York Police Department negotiator (Elizabeth Banks) tries to talk him out of jumping. The longer they are on the ledge, the more she realizes that he might have an ulterior objective. He is doing all this, while he is having someone in the building acrossed the street take something that he was convicted of taking in the first place. The movie was mystery, suspense, and drama.

I liked this because there was a lot of suspense and there was some action. It wasn't like how I thought it was going to be. I figured that it wasn't going to be that great of a movie but it turned out to be a really good movie.
