Directed by Clint Eastwood, this multi-language movie French and English with subtitles was long and monotonous. The best sequence was the first fifteen minutes of movie, then it went downhill from there. This movie will be best enjoyed on cable t.v. were you at least can change the channel, and it won't hurt your pockets.

I give this movie 2 Stars....

Never Let Me Go

Childhood friends, Kathy(Carey Mulligan), Tommy(Andrew Garfield) and Ruth(Keira Knightley) grew-up in Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic British boarding school. Life at Hailsham was solace for the children, unfamiliar with life outside the gates, they found comfort in each other. Until a rude awakening occurs, when their teacher Miss Lucy(Sally Hawkins) informed them, that they're all very special children with a unique propose and their life's in the outside world will be very different, compare to everyone else.

Never Let Me Go is a drama/thriller directed by Mark Romanek, this movie was dull and boring. Unable to follow the storyline at first, then you realize that you don't care if you do. I rather be at home painting my room, and then watching the paint dry.

I give this movie 1 1/2 Stars.

RED

Frank Moses(Bruce Willis) is a retired CIA secret agent, who is looking forward to an easy and restful retirement. As Frank settles into his new uneventfully life, he is smitten by a customer service representative Sarah(Mary-Louise Parker). Frank can't help but to call her as much as possible. But unbeknownst to him, he has been marked RED by the CIA. Now framed for assassination, Frank has no choice but to rescue Sarah and contact his old friends, Joe(Morgan Freeman), Marvin(John Malkovich) and Victoria(Helen Mirren). They must use all their collective experience and team up to stay one step ahead of agent William Cooper(Karl Urban) who's hot on their trail. The cross-country mission uncovers a big conspiracy that reaches the White House.

Director Robert Schwentke creatively transfer this high action-comedy with an equal amount high explosion not seen in other movies. RED is based on D.C. Comic graphic novel by Warren Ellis, and Robert Schwentke turn it to a MUST SEE MOVIE. Action pack from beginning to end, this movie is perfect for the adventure seeking men and romantic seeking women with enough of both to satisfy everyone. You be leaving wanting more, "THIS I GUARANTEE".

I give this movie 5 Stars.

Life As We Know It.

Holly Berenson(Katherin Heigl) is set up on a blind date with Eric Messer(Josh Duhamel) by their mutual best friends Alison and Peter Novack. After a disastrous first date, their life haves intertwined due to their best friends marriage. Unfortunately, their friends continued to thrust them together by making them, their child's godparents. Unbeknownst to them, and after their friends tragic death, they found out that they have inherited little Sophie(Alexis,Brynn, and Brooke Clagett) as her caregiver. These two single enemies will have to come together and raise baby Sophie. Can they co-exist together under the same house without killing each other first?

While this movie is not original, it's a remake of 2004 film "Raising Waylon" written by Neena Beeber's. The Chemistry between Heigl and Duhamel will heat up the screen, but unfortunately, its still the same character for Heigl, playing a neurotic, workaholic, frigid woman. But in this movie its seems to work well. The storyline ending, was predictable, but you will enjoy the ride. So go ahead and purchase your ticket, this roller coaster ride of emotion is worth the admission.

I give this movie 3 1/2 Stars.

This story is about 16 yr old Craig (Keir Gilchrist) who's depressed about everything that's going on in his life. He is in love with his best friend's girlfriend, Nia (Zoe Kravitz) and his inability to tell her how he feels, and the same goes with his father, constantly pushing college on him.

The story of "It's kind of a funny story" is an adaptation by the same name from Ned Vizzini. This movie has a very slow start, but like the little engine that could the story takes speed and leaves you feeling hopeful.

I give this movie 3 Stars.

The Social Network

The Social Network is the story about the founder of the website, Facebook. Computer genius Mark Zuckerberg(Jesse Eisenberg) began working on a new idea, in the format of blogging. What began in his dorm room as an idea soon become a global revolution in social networking. Six years later and 500 million friends, facebook is the Mecca for communicating back and forth with new friends, old friends and everything in between. However, anything worth making is worth keeping.

Director David Fincher has captured this year cult classic. I see big thing happening for this small film. You will appreciate Mark Zuckerberg struggles and fight to keep his dream alive, making him the youngest billionaire in history.

I give this movie 4 Stars
