How often have you seen the results of a horrible natural disaster on the news and said, “I can’t imagine what it would be like to experience that”. With the sheer number of disasters the world has seen lately, we are sure its been once or twice.

A true story is told surrounding the survival of a family of five who are caught in a Tsunami while on vacation.

We aren’t going to waste your time with a review, but we will say that if you want to know what its like to be caught in a Tsunami, go see this film. You will leave no-longer wondering whats that experience is like.

THE HOBBIT

THE HOBBIT – FULL OF ADVENTURES

Get your gold and shell it out for a prime time ticket

Due to the sheer title of the movie we expected a few adventures out of this film, but boy did we underestimate our prediction.

Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is recruited by a Wizard and some driven Drawves to go on an unexpected journey, as they try to reclaim their mountain which was stolen by a dragon named Smaug.

This film, almost 3 hours of it, is filled with adventure after adventure and with every one of them, you get drawn in more and more just to see what is going to happen next.  Though the movie is long, each adventure has its own unique twist and character, so it will seem like a movie within a movie.

If you have Kids or are a fan of the Lord of the Rings series, your definitely going to enjoy this movie. Grab your closest dwarf and head to the theater and purchase your prime time tickets today.

SKYFALL

SKYFALL – BACK TO THE BASICS

Come on its James Bond. Pick Up The Full Price Ticket

We expected greatness and that’s exactly what we got.

James Bond is tested as he shows his allegiance to M who is under attack from a prior agent who is out to kill her.

In our eyes this Bond experience was different than prior versions and we liked it. Why might you ask? Well as we stated above, its as if writers Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Ian Fleming and John Logan decided to get back to the basics. There weren’t any fancy gadgets specially made for bond. The sexy bad girl wasn’t the focus of the film and they even brought back an oldy but goody. You will see what we are talking about when you check out the film.

Although all of this was stripped from the movie, this bond film was as good or better than previous versions. What’s not missing is his smooth style. He is still Bond, James Bond!

What are you waiting for. Get to the theater!

ALEX CROSS

ALEX CROSS – CROSSING OVER

Almost Worth A Prime Time Ticket

Guess who is crossing over to the action genre? That’s right Tyler Perry!

A homicide detective in Detroit is an accomplished veteran in the police department known for solving crimes using his PHD in psychology. Like any other case, he is assigned to a high profile case to assess the clues, but this case won’t be so cut and dry.

Ok we know! Its hard to get over not seeing Tyler Perry in a dress as Madea in the series of Madea films he has written and produced over the years. It makes seeing him as a serious action film that much more difficult. Once you get over that minor issue though, you find that he does a pretty good job playing the role. There’s plenty of action and the bad guy played by Mathew Fox (Emperor 2012, Lost TV Series) was just down right crazy.

There were a few points in the film we didn’t like such as the fight scene at the end. It was just too simple and easy compared to the skills that the villain showed at the beginning of the film. We also think a few of the lines were a bit too Tyler Perryish in that they sounded like they belonged in one of his directed films.

Outside of the points above, we think this was a pretty good film. Tyler did a pretty good job, but it wasn’t as believable as it could have been if it were played by a more accomplished actor known for playing action roles. Right now, we are giving this a Matinee look, but after a few more roles like this, Tyler just may be getting Prime Ticket purchases from us for his action performances.
