The Love Guru

 

The Love Guru, Mike Myers, how does he come up with this stuff! The story line isn’t bad, it filled with its twist and turns but nothing comes as a surprise. I did enjoy Justin Timberlake’s impersonation of a French Canadian who is in love with Celine Dion though, that was pure comedy!

 

There were some very funny moments in the movie, and some slower parts where I asked myself why in the world did I pay to see this movie, but it was overall entertaining. I appreciated it overall.

 

Let me put it to you this way, The Love Guru is very similar in nature to Austin Powers, he is just another stupid character that comes out with some great jokes but the fact remains that the movie itself is pure stupidity.

 

Jessica Alba, you are pretty, but comedy is definitely not your thing! Stick to the things you know!

Vantage Point

Vantage Point comes out on DVD in the week of June 30th and is my pick for the DVD of the month! Now if you haven’t seen it yet…do not get frustrated when the story starts over and over again…it’s just that you see the event that happens in the perspective of the different people who witnessed it. I think that this movie was quite different and whats great about it is that you truly only appreciate the originality at the very end!

The movie is packed with action and suspense as  the lives of different people are intertwined as they witness and are subject to terrorism!

Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, and Forest Whitaker were excellent in it along with all the other actors that participated.

Indiana Jones

Well it is a week after the grand opening of the 4th installment of the Indiana Jones Series and I just want to tell all you critics out there that this movie was awesome! It had all the Indiana Jones Movie elements…comedy, action, and the whip!

What I appreciated most about this movie is that they didn’t try to make Harrison Ford look like he was in his younger years….in fact most of the comedy came on the play that he was old. It really was never ending action as well as great comedy…it was the perfect end to the Indiana Jones played by Harrison Ford….you heard me…played by Harrison Ford….

The end kind off left it open for Shia Lebeouf to step into the Indiana Jones role in the future. One has to wonder if they are trying to pull a James Bond trick where the series goes on for a couple of sequels then changes the main action character.I personally think that Shia Lebeouf can fill the shoes left out for him…he was entertainingly funny in this movie and pulled out all the tricks that a young Indiana Jones in the making could pull off!

I guess we will have to wait and see!
