Burlesque


Ali(Christina Aguilera) is a small town girl with aspiration to escape her hardship life and follow her dreams to L.A. After an unproductive search for work Ali stumbles upon the Burlesque Lounge, a magnificent but ailing theater that has inspired musical revue, there Ali landed a job as a cocktail waitress from Jack (Cam Gigandet) the bartender and was approved by Tess(Cher), the club's proprietor and headliner. Soon Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores the Burlesque Lounge to it's former glory, but will it be too late before entrepreneur Marcus(Eric Dane) forces Tess to sale her Lounge?

Burlesque is Christina Aguilera's feature movie debut and she did a very good job. With Veterans like Cher, Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci and Alan Cumming on stage, she was in good hands. The music was phenomenal, the choreographing especially exceptional. I left the theater wanting to be a burlesque dancer.. And so will you.

I give this movie 4 Stars.

Faster


After his 10 years in prison, Driver(Dwayne Johnson) is out with just one mission on his mind, to avenge his brother's murder, and the attempt on his life. Within hours of being release from prison, he started on his hit-list. Unfortunately, Driver has two men on his trail, a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) and an assassin(Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Driver tries to stay one step ahead of his pursuers, but Driver won't stop until all of them involve in his brother murder are dead.

Faster is a high action pack movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton who are excellent adversary. Faster will keep you guessing and the wondering who's next. This movie will not bore you, and surprise you at the end.
