The Bounty Hunter

Bryan Howe:
This was a movie for the girls. The plot was predictable, boy meets girl, they fight, she leaves, he wants her back, she plays hard to get, they end up together.

The tough girl persona will resonate with females, the "get back at her" plot will appeal to males, the intermittent periods of boredom will appeal to nobody. There were a few funny scenes in the film but they were not enough to make me want to see this movie again.

Movie Rating: 2 - Force Me

Ethan Howe:
this movie was pretty bad with a plot that seems to be overused way too much these days. its not very funny and most of the scenes are not original and i felt like i was watching any other romantic comedy.

movie rating: 2

Movie Rating: 0 - TBD

Hot Tub Time Machine

Ethan Howe:

This was fantastic movie. The plot was not easily guessable and the laughs were endless from start to finish. Rob Corddry was hilarious and was for sure the funniest actor in the film. His part was to be the asshole friend who seems to always be the worse one of the group and he portrays this role fantastically.

The preview doesn't show much of the plot at all, and you will come away very impressed with the story and how everything pans out. I could watch this movie many more times and still laugh at all the funny parts and I do not see it ever getting old. One of the funniest movies I've seen in awhile.

Movie Rating: 5 - Instant Classic

Bryan Howe:

I had a great laugh with this movie. A little edgy in some parts, but the laughs were genuine and the time period jokes were spot on. Those ski suits were just like the pictures I've seen of my parents.

You just can't beat an absolutely brainless movie where a bunch of friends get together and end up doing something completely stupid, its Jackass for the 80's and adding Chevy Chase as the pool boy gave it that little something extra.

Movie Rating: 4 - Would Watch Again

Clash of The Titans

Bryan Howe:

Big budget Hollywood remake of the classic struggle between good and evil. View the trailer.

Perseus, son of Zeus is struggling with his half human half God persona while being called on to save Argos from the wrath of Hades. The head of Medusa serves as the only solution to stopping the kraken destroy Argos and the world.

The big budget feel of the movie was nice, but it honestly left me a little bored. The 3D effects were minimal and they did little to bring the old story to life in a different way.

Movie Rating: 3- If There's Nothing Else

Ethan Howe:

Now this movie definitely had no lack of special effects or action, and if that is all that your looking for in a movie then this might be just for you.

Personally this movie was lacking in many important areas especially the plot. i felt that while watching it too much happened in too short of a time period and this movie would of been better fit if it was somehow spread into two different films. they tried to get too much out in one movie and should of saved some for a sequel or something to that extent.

Overall, this movie was alright but possibly worth seeing again if i had nothing else to do but not something im dying to go get the second it comes out on dvd.

If i ended up at a movie theater in the next month and everything was sold out except this movie then i would see it again, but that would probably be the only way it would happen.

Movie Rating: 3 - If There's Nothing Else
