This movie is great
What it comes down to is that
The jokes are funny
Great supporting cast
Melissa McCarthy and
John Hamm are stand outs
Snappy writing which
Goes beyond just being crass
Yet is still adult
The most impressive
Part is how it treats women:
Respectfully. Wow!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Leaner story and
Smaller scale still can't keep the
Adventure afloat
Some moments feel as
Fresh and fun as the first but
They are infrequent
Clumsy directing
And a lame subplot or two
Really bog things down
Depp does entertain
And buckles are swashed, but it's
Not worth your doubloons

Thor
Norse bravado and
Swagger meets demure astro-
Physicist, finds love
Does not take itself
The least bit seriously
Which is a good thing
Hemsworth rocks as Thor
Almost makes up for others
Being under-used
It may be kind of
Empty, but at least it is
Big, bright, loud and fun

Fast Five
Audacious action
And improved special effects
Make for a great ride
The Rock sweats a lot
Vin Diesel growls while the
Rest of them look lost
Lots of eye candy
Regardless of what you like
Boys, girls, or fast cars
I'll never know why
People say "guilty pleasure"
Like it's a bad thing
And improved special effects
Make for a great ride
The Rock sweats a lot
Vin Diesel growls while the
Rest of them look lost
Lots of eye candy
Regardless of what you like
Boys, girls, or fast cars
I'll never know why
People say "guilty pleasure"
Like it's a bad thing

Hobo With A Shotgun
Rutger Hauer tears
It up in this intense yet
Funny dark thrill ride
80's throwback with
Blood and guts straight from Evil
Dead's school of effects
Hilarious but
Still disturbing, a feel good
Movie it is not
Go for the ultra
Violence, stay because it
Will not let you leave

Hanna
Jason Bourne has a
Daughter with Run Lola Run
Her name is Hanna
Indie dramedy
Meshes with action, Joe Wright
Directs like a champ
Lots of allusions
To fairy tales, don't quite work
But not as bad as
Bana and Blanchett's
Weird accents. This is a strange
But unique thriller

The Adjustment Bureau
Starts off strong as a
Nifty and quiet thriller
Then the plot takes off
Reality is
Questioned by Matt Damon and
That guy from Mad Men
Terrence Stamp glares while
Nice fedoras make for a
Silly plot device
Apparently one
Can't escape their fate unless
They try REALLY hard
