Jeremy Renner (The Avengers) plays Aaron Cross, a newer version of Jason Bourne who was played by Matt Damon. While Jason Bourne is still nowhere to be found, Aaron Cross has his own problems as he is on the run this time because the events of the past three films have led to this.
Rachel Weisz plays Dr. Marta Shearing who later on becomes involved with Cross.
The Bourne Legacy is a good action-packed thriller. It is based off one of the books by author Robert Ludlum who created Bourne. Edward Norton also stars in this film. I give this film 3 out of 5 stars.
In this remake of the Red Dawn film from 1984, it is a different attack on our soil. This time, it is North Korea who is attacking us. For Jed and Matt Eckert (Chris Hemsworth and Josh Peck) they don't know what is about to happen. Their dad, Tom (Brett Cullen) is a police officer and is soon killed by the captain of the invasion. Jed and Matt form a team of survivors, their friends, to try and stop the Koreans from doing any more damage and killing in their city.
When Jed and Matt's team of survivors do whatever is necessary, they call themselves, The Wolverines because that's the name of the their football team in which Matt plays for. The word is spread across the city and 3 American Military personnel make their way to them to help them.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars. Very action-packed.
Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star in this epic comedy adventure about being dead and recruited to the R.I.P.D. (Rest In Peace Department). For Nick Walker (Reynolds) he was a police officer who was on a mission, but was shot and fell to his death during the process.
When Nick woke up, being dead, he was in an office and sitting in front of the proctor played by Mary Louise-Parker (RED). She wants him to work for the R.I.P.D. because the world is in danger from undead creatures. Roy (Bridges) gets a new partner, Nick, and they have to stop the creatures before they destroy our world. They have disguises so no one recognizes them because they are dead.
Kevin Bacon also stars in this film as Hayes, who also worked in the same police department as Nick. I give this film 2 out of 5 stars. It is funny.
He is a hero for the city of Brooklyn. Jackie Robinson, number 42 played for the Brooklyn Dodgers back in 1946.
This is the story of Robinson as he makes his professional career in baseball. Chadwick Boseman who brings Jackie Robinson to life, is a really good actor. He really played Robinson well. Jackie Robinson never took any racism from nobody. Branch Rickey played by Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones) is a major league team executive with great ideas to make money not only for him, but for his team. He notices Robinson and sees that he can play so he gives him a shot. When he first starts playing with the white guys, no one likes him and gives him attitude. Robinson soon makes his way up and gets signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers who are now the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He was a negro baseball player, the first negro baseball player to make it to the MLB. When people made fun of him, Robinson didn't get frustrated at them, he just ignored them completely and didn't let it bother him. He loved the game of baseball and he wanted to prove that he could play just like anyone else no matter what color they are. To this day in the MLB, there are all sorts of different races. From African American to Hispanic to Japanese. If you have what it takes, then you should be allowed to play in the MLB.
In the action-packed remake of the Total Recall film in 1990 with Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is loaded with action packed scenes and shootouts. Colin Farrell (S.W.A.T.) plays Douglas Quaid, a factory worker who finds himself in danger when he visits Rekall, which makes you wish you had a different life.
Something goes wrong at Rekall and now Doug thinks he is a spy named Carl Hauser. He gets very confused at times because he doesn't know when he is doing what. After he is done either fighting or whatever he does, he has a look of confusion on his face as to, "What did I just do?". His wife, Lori Quaid, played by Kate Beckinsale (Underworld), is a different spy who wants to kill Doug/Carl.
Doug/Carl finds help when he is on the run from Lori. Melina played by Jessica Biel (The Illusionist) helps Doug/Carl escape from Lori and they soon find themselves in danger when they are attacked towards the end of the film.
This film also stars Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad). I give this film 3 out of 5 stars.
Godzilla!! Everyone knows the most famous monster in film history. There's been multiple films of Godzilla. Usually they are from Japan because that's where this first started. The last American Godzilla movie was from 1998 starring Matthew Broderick. This time, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, and Elizabeth Olsen star in this new version of Godzilla from director Gareth Edwards.
In 1999 when Godzilla awakens again from the ocean, he has caused a massive mess at the power plant where Ford's (Johnson) parents, Joe (Cranston) and Sandra (Juliette Binoche) work. Ford sees the plant go down while in school and thinks his parents are dead. Time skips forward to present day and now we see that Ford is in the army as a part of the bomb disposal team. Godzilla is headed to San Francisco where Ford's wife and kid are. But Ford is stuck in Hawaii when he tries to get home, but has several obstacles to conquer.
Godzilla was really intense and the acting was alright. The special effects were amazing. I give Godzilla 4 out of 5 stars.
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, who were both in the films: The Wedding Singer (1998) and 50 First Dates (2004) star in their new film, Blended. Jim (Sandler) has 3 daughters and no wife where as, Lauren (Barrymore) has 2 sons and is separated. Jim and Lauren don't know it, but they will soon have a wild adventure in Africa when Jim's boss gives him tickets for his family and when Lauren's friend, Jenn (Wendi McLendon-Covey) gives her her tickets to Africa because she's dating Jim's boss, they both meet at a family resort in Africa for blended families. Jim and Lauren's first blind date was bad, but they kept meeting on rare occasions. Now they are stuck together at the same place whether they like it or not. Terry Crews and Joel McHale also star in this family-fun comedy. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
