Valentines Day, Father of the Bride & Predators
Valentines Day (2010) - 7/10
- All-star cast, including hotties Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba & Jennifer Garner
- Level of Cheesiness is 8 out of 10.
(another "forced" watch by the wifey)
- Typical Hollywood relationship-movies, wherein different couples/partners have different experiences on the same day.. Lots of ironies & realizations if you're watching with your partner.
- Julia Roberts had a supporting role, but her character was one of the best portrayed & most touching scenes especially at the end. God bless the military!!!
- scenes with Jessica Alba in bed? PRICELESS!
Father of the Bride (1991) - 7/10
- One of Steve Martin's "at his peak" movies; Boy, does he love to narrate in his movies!!!
- This is a preview/warning for people planning to get married. It is very informative for us guys, haha!
- Kinda drags on in some of the scenes, especially the wedding proceedings.
Predators (2010) - 8/10
- I don't understand the hate of the critics on this movie.. It was a great revisiting to the Predator mythos as it referenced the 1st movie and mimicked the environment & feel!
- Adrien Brody's portrayal of Royce was one of the best, in my opinion. His upcoming Hot Toys headsculpt facial expression does not epitomize how much of a tough guy he was in this one. He reminded me of Wolverine a lot, in that he didn't care a lot and he was "the best at what he does".
Makes me re-think if I should pre-order an HT Royce (There is still time before pre-order closes)
- Probably, the main feeling of "letdown" does not come from the movie, but from us.. We are no longer "wowed" by the sight of the Predators (at least the non-die hards) because we've seen them at their creepiest during the 1st two (2) movies. They are still pretty bad-ass, but not as bad-ass as when I first saw them. This franchise needs fresh new ideas to strengthen the Predator mythos!
