Movies 1

            
This week was a hard one. Lots of unpacking, lots of boxes that needed to be crashed and tossed away, lots of laundry and lots of organizing was accomplished.  I was alone and needed some noise in the background to keep myself going. I like multitasking because it makes me feel more productive. Yes, you are right as I am writing this I am watching a show that I used to watch while I lived in my home country. Therefore, while doing all the tasks mentioned above I managed to watch nine movies.

The movies I watched this week are:

1. A good day to die hard: such a big disappointment. I was looking forward to seeing Bruce Willis working together with  Jai Courtney. Its been a while since I saw a movie with Bruce Willies and I always thought he is a great actor. The movie eneded up being a disaster in my opinion. Firstly, I speak Russian and I absolutely despise when a movie maker uses an american character as a " russian" character. When they pronounce something I can barely understand what they are trying to say, majority of them cannot pronounce the letter "R".  They always make the russian side the dark one and the American side always wins. So cliche, its like a dream that the american nation has and that can be only acomplished in movies.

2. Family weekend:  a simple cute movie about a girl who just wants her family to be normal and supportive of her. Nothing impressive, easy to watch and the most important part is that it has a  happy ending.

3. Divorce Invitation: nothing extraordinary just  easy to watch,  cute and very actual subject nowadays- adultery leading to a divorce.  Learned a good clause for a prenuptial agreement. Not telling you which one, you would have to watch the movie in order to fond out.

4. Hit and Run: after I saw the trailer on the TV I had this movie on a MUST see list. I was really looking forward to see it and was so disappointed. I was very close to stopping the movie half way through, but decided to watch it till the end in order to be fair and accurate in my judgment. I was never a fan of Kristen Bell but was hopping that the presence of  Dax Shepard and Bradley Cooper will help her bad acting and I was so wrong.

5. Good Deeds:  LOVED the movie. I couldn't believe the low raiting it had. I  am a big fan of Tyler Perry and I think he is a great actor. The movie reminded me about the most important things in life. You have to follow your own destiny and your dreams.

6. To Rome with Love: in my opinion it did not have a good story and was just bad. Even the presence of Penelope Cruz cannot save this movie.


7. Parental Guidance:cute, nice, family moovie. Made me laugh and it had a good story.

8. Friends with Kids: I highly recommend the movie. Good story about the real pylons of a good marriage. Sometimes love and pation is not enough.

9. The Big wedding: not the best movie I watched this week. Had a few funny momments but I felt like it was incomplete and not as good as the trailer pictured it to be.

I hope this helps you in deciding what to watch  in the near future. 

Cheers,
