HEREAFTER(2010)

Clint Eastwood's latest film intrigued me to say the least. A drama/supernatural that tells the story of how three different perspectives deal with death. An ambitious idea that falls pretty flat unfortunately. You get lost and extremely bored at the three stories being told in the two hour plus running time. You don't ever care or know where the story is going. The movie just ends and leaves you wondering what the purpose of the movie was? It's not a total bomb, but one of Eastwood's weaker stories to date.

Matt Damon is a psychic with the ability to genuinely talk to the dead. He's given up on that life, so he can try and live a normal life. Across the world a lady has a near death experience while drowning and is left to figure out her life. While a boy is left to figure out why his brother is gone and how to cope with death.

This is a rental at best, but be prepared for a slow and drawn out story.

RED(2010)

This is what " The Expendables" should've been. They are both along the same lines, but "Red" is the PG-13 version. The story has some loop holes and is kinda vague, but it's fun and entertaining so I can forgive some of the technical crap. No "Oscar" performances here, but the great ensemble cast does their jobs just fine. This movie has been made a million times, but I had a good time watching this movie and you can't say that about most movies made today.

Bruce Willis is a retired C.I.A. agent when he is targeted for assassination. He then heads off to try and figure out who would want to kill him. He reunites with some former agents and a love interest along the way.

I can't highly recommend this, but I'd give it a shot if you like any action movies. Not a great film, but an enjoyable one.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK(2010)

I finally got around to watching this highly acclaimed movie and it didn't disappoint. This movie will be nominated for best picture and rightfully so. This could've been a long a boring narrative about the creation of what is "Facebook", but David Fincher directs this movie with perfect story telling skills. Fincher cuts all the extra fat off and tells a very compelling story with the perfect pacing. The editing is right up there with "Inception". The story cuts back and forth from past to present with incredible precision. The acting was top notch as well. Even the dude from N'Sync(J.T. or also know as Justin Timberlake) showed some acting chops. An intriguing story that should be seen for yourself.

The movie tells how "Facebook" was created in a Harvard dorm rooms and the law suits that surrounded the billion dollar company.

It's no secret that I'm highly recommending this movie to everyone. Time will tell if it can stand up to "Inception" for the biggest award of all. I'm not talking about "The Oscars" either.

THE LAST EXORCISM(2010)

With Halloween quickly approaching I thought I'd review a "scary" movie. "The Last Exorcism" is produced in the same mockumentary style as "The Blair Witch" was years ago. That movie was marketed perfectly and was the first of it's kind. I wasn't a fan of that movie or this movie for that matter. I can appreciate the approach and the effort, but the final product is just dull to put it bluntly. The editing is a little too professional for the audience to believe that we are watching raw footage of the documentary being filmed. "Paranormal Activity" is the best and most entertaining version of these types of "scary" movies.

An evangelist sets out to shoot a documentary on his last exorcism to prove that they are all fakes. His "Last Exorcism" turns out to be more than he bargained for.

I wouldn't recommend this film unless you liked any of the previously mentioned films.
