Amy Winehouse Dead At 27!!

The soul-jazz/pop singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London, England on Saturday July 23, 2011, she was only 27 years old. There's no secret that Amy Winehouse had a long battle with alcohol, drugs and a eating disorder, even her close friend Kelly Osbourne try helping her by taking her to rehab, but rehabilitation didn't work. Our biggest fears became reality today when our jazzy beehive diva died. With her sultry smooth voice and her iconic retro look that was all one of a kind, Amy. I can truly say "There will only be one Amy Winehouse", and even though she left us early we will never forget the indelible mark you made in the music industry.

Crazy, Stupid, Love

Cal (Steve Carell) is a forty something man who married his high school sweetheart Emily (Julianna Moore) who just asked him for a divorce, after confessing to cheating on him with David (Kevin Bacon) a colleague from work. Now Cal's perfect life has disappeared and worse, he's single. Cal has never dated anyone before except his wife, he doesn't know how to approach the ladies. Cal has been spending his time at a local bar, getting help from a professional pick-up artist Jacob (Ryan Gosling) who takes pity on him and takes him under his wing to help him be a ladies man, with a lot of help..

Crazy, Stupid, Love is a romantic comedy with an amazing cast, crazy scenario and touching moments of pure love. Hysterical to the core, Carell and Gosling are the perfect odd couple. This movie by far is the best comedy film of the year. This I guarantee, you will enjoy it.

I give this movie 5 Stars.

30 Minutes Or Less

Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a run-of-the-mill pizza delivery guy whose mundane life changes abruptly after two wanna-be criminals, Dwayne (Danny McBride) the master mind in the plan and Travis (Nick Swardson) his sidekick kidnaps Nick strap a bomb on him and forces him to rob a bank. The bumbling but volatile duo give Nick several hours to complete the task, so Nick recruits the help of his ex-bestfriend Chet (Aziz Ansari). As the clock ticks the two must deal with the police, an hired assassin and his girlfriend, and the two criminal wanna-be's.

30 Minutes Or Less is a action-comedy directed by Ruben Fleisher of "Zombieland". This enjoyable comedy with strong performance from a fantastic cast, was down right funny from begging to end. Who knew having a bomb strap to your chest was so funny. This is an explosion of laughter.

I give this movie 4 stars

Freinds With Benefits

Dylan (Justin Timberlake) and Jamie (Mila Kunis) after having a brutal broke-up have decide to be down-with-love. So Dylan decided to accept an offer and relocate from L.A. to N.Y.C there Jamie signed him to a one year contract as the editor of a New York Magazine. Being friends with Jaime they think it's going to be easy to add sex to their friendship, while trying to avoid the cliche of Hollywood romantic comedies. Soon they discover that getting physical always does lead to complication.

Friends With Benefits is directed by Will Gluck who has far made a new format for romantic comedy. This laugh out loud movie about sex without strings (THEORY IS BULL CRAP ), but it's made it in a way that everyone will understand, laugh at it and enjoy it.

I give this movie 3 1/2 Stars.

Devil Double

Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) have been summoned from the desert to Saddam Hussein's palace, without a clue why. Latif has been order by Uday Hussein (Dominic Cooper) himself " The Black Prince" to be his body double. The notorious, sadistic, party-boy, who is known for his vicious sexual and brutal appetite. Uday not taking no for an answer, made sure that Latif families live are at stake, Latif must surrender his life and his self forever, he must learn and become Uday for the world to believe. Unfortunately, nothing could have prepare him for how psychotic The Black Prince really is.

Devil Double is very hard to see due to the graphics nature, but based on the true life story of Uday Hussein with added documentaries in the film make it, a little close for comfort that such a monster did exist. Dominic Cooper did a great job portraying the dual role, watch with caution this film will move you.

I give this movie 3 1/2 Stars.

A Better Life

Carlos (Demian Bichiar) is a gardener who lives's in East L.A, but struggles to keep his son Luis (Jose Julian) away from the gangs that has ravaged his neighborhood. Carlos tries to give his son the life he never had while trying not to get deported.

A Better Life is a story depicting the life of an immigrant who has worked all his life with many regrets except for what he would do for his son. A touching, loving caring movie, of a father and son dynamic, and the length a father will go through to try to give his son a better life. There's some stereotypical portrayal of the Latin community, but despite this aspect this movie was amazing.

I give this movie 4 Stars
