two out of ten
A movie about a couple who wants to work on their marriage and decides to bring their friends with them to a couples retreat. The friends go thinking it will be a fun vacay, but little do they know the hijinks to come. The scenery in this movie is absolutely stunning- hence the two stars. On blue ray? It looks fab. The rest of the movie? Predictable. Cliche. No real heart whatsoever.

Twilight
two out of ten
Oh boy. I know many people love Twilight and that's cool. I hated the book. I hated the movie. I did think the scenery was beautiful and there was a Pakistani flag in the cafeteria opening sequences which is kind of cool. Other than that, I couldn't stand it. Bella blinks a lot and the actress did a bad job, and the writing, well. . . just not for me.

Wanted
two out of ten
How incredibly . . . *yawn*. This movie meant to be important but it was simply boring. Just your average chase and duck movies. Angelina Jolie was incredibly vapid in this role and I just found myself wanting the movie to end as soon as possible.

This movie about a young girl sent to live with her Arab father after her mother feels she can't handle her is a movie that I watched from beginning to end but felt horrified and disgusted throughout. The acting is mediocre at best and the subject matter, the exploitation of a young girl is explored into such fine detail that it makes you nauseous particularly as in my opinion, most of it was unnecessary. I felt dirty after finishing this movie and I might never look at Aaron Eckhart the same way again.

The International
two out of ten
K finds the movie interesting but I thought it stunk to high heaven. This is a movie about an evil bank and two people determined to put them out of business. The bank deals in international arms weapons as a means to give out lots of debt so they can make loads of money and only a few people know the truth. They are determined to do anything to stop the bank. This movie is like a million movies before it, same old hack. It plays out like a made for TV movie. I'd give it one out of ten stars but for the fact that K liked it alright so I figured I should bump it up one to be polite.

Role Models
two out ten
Two guys get in trouble for indecent behavior in front of a room of high schoolers and are forced to be "big brothers" to troubled youth. This movie tried way too hard and ultimately in my opinion came out unfunny and unnecessarily crude. I don't like films where little kids are cursing and saying obscene things. These were designed to get laughs, but they simply offended me.

Mamma Mia!
I love musicals like West Side Story, Grease, and Sound of Music and with Meryl Streep playing the lead in this musical I thought I would love this one! The music was nauseating, the acting was awful and the storyline was BAD BAD BAD. Though we fast forwarded as much as we could, I still wish I had never seen it. Greece looks pretty though.

What Happens in Vegas
Let me give you the premise: A girl and guy both fed up with life rush to Vegas, meet, marry while drunk and in the process win 3 million dollars which results in the ensuing divorce to become a bit more complicated. A judge freezes the funds and orders them to live together for six months which they angrily decide to do just so they can finally get that 3 million bucks. Can you predict how this will end? If not, you've never seen an Indian movie in your entire life. This is an American Indian Movie. If you like Indian Movies, then this is the standard Cheese-Plus Indian Comedic Romance. Break out the cheesy puffs and enjoy!
