How Do You Know


After Lisa(Reese Witherspoon) has made her athletic career her main focus a priority for 27 years, she doesn't know what to do when she is cut from the U.S.A Women Softball League. Staggering towards a normal life, that she's never had before, outside of sports. So, on the day she is cut from the team, she decided to go out on a blind date with George(Paul Rudd) a sweet businessman who's being investigated by the government. With complications like that for both, how can't it not be magic? Soon after Lisa starts dating Matty(Owen Wilson) a major league baseball player and known ladies man. Meanwhile, George's father Charles(Jack Nicholson) is working with his son so they both won't go to prison. Before Lisa's relationship with Matty started, she and George share a very special date that George can't forget. Now Lisa finds herself in the middle of a love triangle, with a businessman friend and her current baseball player boyfriend.


Director James Brooks is best known for his hits, "Terms of Endearment", "As good as It Get", and " The Simpson's". He has an eye for good comedy and this one is no doubt another hit for this award winning director. Reese Witherspoon and Jack Nicholson are always wonderful, but leave it to comedy pros Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson to steal the show. This is a must see.

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.

However, everything changes after he received the rejection letter for the final appeal, and Laura couldn't handle it anymore. John decided that there's only one solution and that is to breaking her out of prison and there's nothing he won't risk to achieve this, including his own freedom.

The Next Three Days is a high action movie, Russell Crowe delivers another hit. For the men, he gives this character a toughness feeling with a bit of 007. For the women, he gives them a compassionate and caring man that will risk anything for the woman he loves.
