Movie Review of the Week

On the second merry go round shot at "marriage",I think my experience has helped shape a happy relationship. Give and take, is in the top five tricks to a great partnership
(take that Cosmo) especially when your partner gives as equally and whole heartedly as yourself.
I truly believe in making my man a happy guy and while everyone what knows what the number one trick "is", many have no clue what's in the fifth commandment.
LET YOUR MAN PICK A TESTOSTERONE FILLED FLICK,at least every other week.

This week we picked two movies for our weekend viewing pleasure.

The first flick picked,viewed was the action thriller ,Transporter 3.
I have not seen the first two movies in the Transporter franchise , but that's a moot point.
It contains superb driving,great story,amazing cinamatography,a romantic subplot,mob
violence and an unending car chase. It's overly apparent that the targeted audience is male ages 10-90 and it's not deep.
Did I enjoy it... you bet. Did my guy like it, oh yeah.
He was happy he got to pick a flick, I was surprisingly thrilled that I liked the movie. The action was non stop and kept us both glued to the screen.

The second movie chosen BY THE BOTH OF US, was the critically acclaimed hollywood
insider movie WHAT JUST HAPPENED starring tinsel town heavyweights such as Robert De Niro,Sean Penn, Bruce Willis and Robin Wright Penn.
The movie follows two weeks in the life of a hollywood producer who is seeking to save his two films from falling apart while balancing his own personal crisis.
The movie brought out the critic in each of us and the man fell asleep half way.
It could have been a better movie,the film should have been edited to keep the story moving faster than a turtle. It's a movie that only the film community could appreciate and perfect watching for any university film course.
It's a diamond in the rough that should have been a better film.Great performances by all of the actors,the deleted scenes should have been left in to keep the story relevant and the alternate ending should have been used. The viewer gets the feeling that the joke is lost on non-film hacks and wonders why we should pay for someone else's party.
Barry Levinson, the director and Robert De Niro could have take out a PSA to tell us the film business is a bitch or shot a movie that actually resonates with the audience. The irony of it all is that the movie centers around a director who won't edit his movie to please an audience and results in the DeNiro character losing his reputation and fortune. Now thats ironic....

See Transporter 3 and take caution on What Just Happened.
