"Ninja Assassin" Movie Review

Very violent and action packed from the beginning. The structure was tweaked beyond the normal but it works in this instance telling 3 stories at once. As this is a science fiction piece, they had to set up the universe and its rules, which they did very well. The heart situation is one example that stands out. The movie definitely forms its own rollercoaster ride that goes up and down. The action sequences keep your heart racing and the story sequences give the character meaning and purpose. The twist does definitely re-engage the audience. The final battle gives the character even more purpose than some of the story sequences which makes you vote for him to win. When he seems to be losing the fight, you see no way for him to recover but in the end, he surpasses the master and is the true ninja.

-Overall Score: 9.5/10

"Get Him to the Greek" Movie Review

This is definitely not a date movie. If you take your girlfriend or wife, she may be appalled as mine was (But it was her idea). This buddy/comedy movie sets everything up right and gives you no loose ends on the details. The characters are set up perfectly and follow a very nice character arc. The situations the two buddy's are put into are very awkward and can be very disgusting but come out to be very funny in the long run. Clues and details about each character pop up as the movie progresses and they don’t leave or forget anyone for long, e.g. fatty's girlfriend. There is a very nice twist at the end and the movie was wrapped up very well closing any questions the audience may have had and giving a nice sense character change.

"The Killers" Movie Review

This movie starts off just like a buddy movie showing the two main characters daily routines. When they meet, it's funny as the guy is speaking French and she pretends to understand as she stares at him because he has no shirt. This is good because the people are not what is funny but it is the situations in which they are put. These two end up getting together and a significant amount of time passes but you get lost as they don't explain the time shift very well. The Point of Attack comes right on time with a suspicious postcard that turns out to be a coded message from his former boss. This starts an onslaught of funny assassination attempts on his life, all performed by different people. The wife joins in to try and help him unwillingly as they are thrown into these dangerous situations. As it gets more and more dangerous, only one clue, or piece of the puzzle is revealed and that is that he has a $20 Million dollar bounty on his head. In the end, everything is wrapped up with the big reveal and the twist, but there is no difference between the two. Everything happens so fast and furiously that it takes a moment to sink in who is good and who is bad. The ending feels very rushed as if they wanted to beat out the movie Knight And Day.

-Overall Score: 7/10

"The Ugly Truth" Movie Review

This movie was absolutely hilarious. It had built the characters very well. In the beginning, these characters were complete opposites. One believing in love, but never able to find it, and the other not believing in love at all. This gave them great tension and belief. In a comedy movie, its not funny characters that give it its appeal but it’s the situations, and this movie hit it off right. The guy threw the girl into so many things and her responses to them made us laugh. Another good thing for a movie to possess is a believable plot and it hits the spot again. Anyone can relate to at least one of the many story elements that the Mike or Abby character experience. I know I have experienced many of those things, and if you pay attention to each of the lessons and think about them, you'll find that each and every one of them is true. The character arc is very noticeable throughout the movie showcasing how each character teaches one another something and they begin to evolve to their final form. In the end everything comes together seamlessly in a final fight and then the guy gets the girl.

Overall Rating: 9/10
