I Hate Valentine's Day is a movie about a lonely woman falls in love on the day she dreads the most and experiences all the elements of a relationship, from chance meeting through divorce, within the space of a single February 14th. What can I say, if the movie's name is I Hate Valentine's Day, well I hate I hate Valentine's Day. This is by far the corniest movie I ever seen in my life. Maybe women will enjoy all the cheesy situations the leading character has and experience throughout the movie…

The Ugly Truth is a entertaining romantic comedy about Abby Richter, a romantically challenged morning show producer whose search for Mr. Perfect has left her hopelessly single. She's in for a rude awakening when her bosses team her with Mike Chadway, a hardcore TV personality who promises to spill the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick. Although I think the movie is a little predictable and with some corny moments, it is also very enjoyable and funny. The cast is formed by Gerard Butle…

Aliens in the Attic is a movie that entertains for maybe 30 minutes. After that time I think that it turns a little foolish, unreal and very childish. the movie tells the story of a very dysfunctional family that rent a house on the lake for their vacations, what they don't know is that the house is already habited by a group of aliens looking for a device to invade and conquer the Earth. The aliens can control the mind of adult people but not of teenagers and children, so it is the children of…

Usually when people talk about hangovers they usually meant about the day after drinking a lot. In this case The Hangover is the most ingenious comedy I've seen in the year. Directed by Todd Phillips, The Hangover contains all kind of comedy and humor existed in this world. It is an hour and a half full of laughs. It is cleverly written, Two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party they'll never forget. The movie follows a fast paced rh…

The Half Blood prince, the sixth and latest adaptation from Harry Potter's books in my opinion was the lamest and most dissapointing movie of all six. At least the previous five has tons of action, adventure and humor. But this one is two hours and a half of the same boredome story. It is a flat plot that never advances and the lame excuse or romance make the film ridiculously cheesy. The very few of special effects that the movie has were very good. The cast were good but their performances in…

Public Enemies tells the story of the life of John Dillinger and his brief but well known fame as a bank robber. It is an almost 2 hour and a half movie but its length doesn't make it tiresome, in fact it is a very interesting drama full of action that will catch you from the very first minute and will keep you on the edge of your seat. the story is very interesting and the plot very well developed. The movie is perfectly set in the 1930's with an excellent costume design from that age. The cast…

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is one og the biggest box office blockbusters of the summer. From the very beginning of the movie you are surround by big explosions, spectacular persecution and tons of special effects. The story doesn't contribute with many innovations, in fact I feel that it follows the same plot as the first one, The Auto-bots and the Decepticons in their eternal war and the humas in between with Sam Witwicky and his girlfriend Mikaela trying to save the world. Maybe the o…

The proposal is the typical romantic comedy women love with the difference that in this movie the roles are changed, the woman (Sandra Bullock) is the one that falls in love with the man (Ryan Reynolds) at the end. The story about a pushy boss forces her young assistant to marry her in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid deportation to Canada is kinda predictable and corny and the plot has some holes in it, it isn't very well developed. In The Proposal you can find different type…

I don't know how many times I've seen a movie with this kind of topic. Fortunately 17 again was a nice comedy which only purpose was entertaining the viewer. 17 again tells the story of a guy whose life didn't quite turn out how he wanted it to and wishes he could go back to high school and change it. He wakes up one day and is seventeen again and gets the chance to rewrite his life: it is an already seen story and kinda predictable but still I had the chance to enjoy it. The plot is convincing…

All the trekkies in the world are pleased because finally Star Trek is on the movie theaters everywhere. Personally I can't consider a big Star Trek fan although I know some of its history. Now the movie is perhaps the biggest release of the summer and they are right. The movie is full of action from the very first minute. It is like and adrenaline shot to the heart and it will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story is very interesting, It tells us the beginning of the friendship between J…

A Night at the Museum 2 was an okay movie, nothing out of this world but okay. First of all I think that the idea of the plot was very interesting but it seems that the writers didn't know how to developed it. The story seems a little predictable and in my opinion not very attractive. It has good action and adventure, the comedy part is very little but consistent and a plus is that it could be kinda educative because it shows you part of history people may not knew. The special effects and CGI a…

Angels and Demons is the adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Dan Brown , the same person that wrote The DaVinci Code and as well as he DaVinci Code it is directed by Ron Howard and with Tom Hanks in the leading role. This one is way better the the previous one but it isn't that great to impress. Angels and Demons is a very well structure thriller with lots of action, adventure and suspense. It has a fast rhythm, a convincing and interesting story, although I think it has some hol…

X-Men origins: Wolverine the first spin-off/prequel of the X-Men saga and maybe the most anticipated of all.

Its a movie full of action from the very first minute, a little of drama, some very good moments of humor and even a little bit of romance and the special effects are excellent. It has a fast paced rhythm making the movie interesting and never tiresome. The cast is really good,…

Ghosts of Girlfriends past is the typical movie about a man in love with his all-time girl friend but he can't accept it and becomes the man that scores with all the women and dumps them the day after. A weird adaptation to Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, I don't know if he'll be pleased to see what these people did to his novel. Its a romantic comedy that can take you away a few laughs. The idea of a story like this was interesting but they turn it to a very corny movie with a poor plot. The…

Mall Cop tells the story of Paul Blart (Kevin James), a mall security guard. When the shopping mall is overtaken by a gang of organized crooks, it's up to the a mild-mannered security guard to save the day. The movie is flat and the plot is kinda predictable, you can know from the very beginning the the leading character, a dumb, overweight person will become the hero and will end with the hot girl of the movie. It has its funny moment, very few but funny anyway. The cast is good, Kevin James is…

Watchmen, one of the best graphic novels finally came to the movies pleasing all its fans around the globe. It is a frenetic, mind blowing film full of action, adventure, suspense and some nice black humor. Directed by Zack Snyder, the also director of 300 made a very good job with the adaptation along with writers David Hayter and Alex Tse. The movie is long, maybe I would cut some unnecessary parts and at the beginning it has a slow rhythm but the second part runs a little more fluid. The soun…

Milk tells the real story of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. It is an inspirational drama, directed by Gus Van Sant, that reflects the intolerance and the lack of respect to gay people on the 70's decade. It is a film full of drama with some moments of maybe involuntary humor. The locations in San Francisco and the real footage makes the movie more realistic along with the very good costume design. The cast is wonderful, Sean Penn in the leading r…
