Movie Review

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

I love Kevin James, didn’t love this movie. It had a couple bits of humor but not enough to continue to write.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Cate Blanchett really brings this time piece movie to life. Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt) is a story of a person who physically ages backwards. The romantic aspect of this drama can be daunting and tends to play tricks on your mind when you try and remember how old Benjamin Button mentally is. I liked this movie and will watch it again.

The Tale of Despereaux

What happened to fun kids movies with lots of action that will keep even the most active 2 year old at bay? Despereaux is horribly boring. If you go to it thinking you will see tons of adventure from a cute little mouse…you thought wrong. It’s about a rat who accidentally brought on a great depression over a town. Maybe the book is better.

Taken

Liam Neeson (Batman Begins) is retired from his government job as a spy which has destroyed his family life. His only daughter wants to tour Europe with a friend for the summer. Being a protective father and with his knowledge of the creeps out there he tells her daughter no. Later he is talked into signing the documents and the fun begins. The action starts very quickly. Taken is a lot more deep than some guy hunting down a kidnapper. There are many adult situations and content. Overall I enjoyed this movie and came out of it with the skills necessary to find my non-existent daughter if she were ever taken.
