J and I watched this movie on Friday night. I thought it was really well done. Meryl Streep was awesome, and damn she looks good for her age. LOL. I loved it.

The Break-Up

Release Date: June 2, 2006
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance
Director: Peyton Reed
Cast: Jennifer Aniston, Vince Vaughn
Official Website and Synopsis

My Rating:

I love Vince Vaughn. Whatever movie he's in, there's something about him that keeps me drawn in. Maybe it's because he seems so natural on screen. I really liked this movie. I didn't really like the ending though. And this movie is totally relatable. I think the movie portrays men and women in relationships well. I've seen this type of thing happen in real life, the 'I have to get back at him/her' thing.

My Rating:

After the first time watching this movie, I thought it was hilarious and I really liked the movie. I even went as far to claim that I was finally an Adam Sandler fan. But I think I changed my mind. I watched it a second time with J (I watched it the first time with my brother). While I was watching it the second time I couldn't help but think how boring it was! There were only a few very funny moments, it wasn't as good as I thought it was, and J was practically losing interest during the film. I still don't understand how I came to love it the first time. Weird. This is a movie to watch when you're bumming around the house with nothing to do, or just for whatever. I probably wouldn't mind having it in my movie collection, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend $15 for it.

PS. I probably won't want to watch this movie again. Unlike 50 First Dates, which I can watch over and over again.

X-Men: The Last Stand

Release Date: May 26, 2006
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Action
Director: Brett Ratner
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen
Official Website and Synopsis

My Rating:

Is it bad to rate this movie after not having remembered whether I saw the first or second one? Actually, I did see the first one, but didn't watch X-Men 2. I'm just not a fan. There were some action scenes that grabbed my attention, but other than that, I wasn't fully entertained.

Pirates of The Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

Release Date: July 7, 2006
Rating: PG (Parental Guidance)
Genre: Action
Director: Gore Verbinski
Cast: Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Nightley
Official Website and Synopsis

My Rating:

The movie begins with the arrest of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Nightley). Their only chance of freedom is with the exchange of Captain Jack Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) compass. Will goes and looks for Capt. Jack Sparrow, and the journey begins!

I really enjoyed this movie. There were definitely a few funny moments, and the action was great. I love Johnny Depp, he is my favourite actor. I must admit, I only wanted to see this movie for him, not for the story...heh. The Curse of the Black Pearl was somewhat forgettable, (I have to watch it again for the story) but Johnny Depp's acting wasn't. Nonetheless, I thought it was great. Maybe I'm just in love with him! LOL!
