Seeking Justice (2011)
quite enjoyable
I went in not expecting much but it was actually an enjoyable movie. It hits on a few different levels. Besides being an action flick, it makes you consider what would you do in a similar situation. The movie has some solid actors and I'm surprised that this movie wasn't in theaters, even on a a limited basis. Nicholas Cage is actually does fairly well along with most others. January Jones does OK, not sure about her acting skills yet. Some stuff I've seen she's been good in, others she's been just OK; such as this movie. The movie explores some deeper morality issues that goes into the possible consequences. All in all the movie is definitely worth a viewing.
One Fall (2016)
good movie, until the end.
NO SPOILERS!! but, I will say that the ending was a tad confusing and there is lots to be left to the imagination. The movie starts out very good, character build up is decent and the story line is good until the end. The ending leaves you going "huh??" That being said, it is not a bad movie, and many will find it enjoyable. I know that I didn't even notice how long it was running until it ended. Some of the situations are easily relatable and you can easily associate many of the scenes. It simply seemed to be that they need a quick ending and thus decided on the easiest way out. Many will see the end coming, some may be able to get the ending and some may be as confused about the ending as others on this board.
The Art of Travel (2008)
cinematography..wow, story was good.
Let me first start by saying that the story line of this movie is going to appeal mostly to hopeless romantics. It starts out with a man in love who gets hurt and starts a journey only to have to choose between finding himself and what may be the love of his life. I absolutely love the cinematography and is the main reason I watched the movie. The story line was predictable and many have found flaws but, this is entertainment not reality. I thought this was a very well done movie even if predictable. Some may see the ending coming but for others the ending will be a complete surprise and make the movie that much better. I tend to submerse myself in the characters in the movie (unless the movie/acting is just that bad) and thus found the ending a surprise and absolutely hilarious/awesome, making the movie that much better.
I cannot recommend this movie enough. However, I would caution that you should not expect an Oscar worthy story line or acting. It will appeal largely to the romantics and the dreamers.
Roadie (2011)
Good movie, but not great
Could this movie have been better??? Probably; but as it stands the movie is still very good. Don't know that I would rate it an 8, but it was a very solid 7 and borderline 8 or a very high 7. The acting was good and all the characters play their roles perfectly. There are some scenes that seem a tad out of place and a scene or two that are inserted for no apparent reason other than to come up with a reason to try and tie in the end of the movie (you'll understand when you watch it) hence my 7 rating. The soundtrack is great at times and debatable during others. Its not a "must see" movie but it is definitely one to check out if your in the mood for a good flick.
Midnight in Paris (2011)
don't normally like WA movies or acting but....
I actually thought this movie was quite entertaining and had some rather funny parts. I was "forced" to watch WA films growing up and could/never have understood his appeal. I don't think any of his films are very funny and I've seen about a half dozen (parents love him). This film however appeals to a wide variety. Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdems aren't the only appeal but they certainly do help with the appeal of the movie. They played their parts perfectly but the content of the movie also should appeal to different generations and people of varying degrees of intellectual and humorous levels. I was not familiar with all of the characters but its not important to the overall storyline. Overall the movie was very entertaining and enjoyable.
