Lord of War, Just Like Heaven,Unleashed & 8 Below!
It was a movie weekend for us here in Iowa. I suspect it was the cold snap that we’ve had and the lack of anything else to do. So here’s a run down on the movies.
Lord of War Nicholas Cage plays a arms dealer in the 80’s and 90’s and how he’s just trying to make a buck while staying one step ahead of Ethan Hawke. I was really pumped to see this movie when I saw the previews at the theatre, but after watching it I’m really glad I didn’t see it at the theatre. So I’d give it a 6 out of 10.
Just Like Heaven Cute little movie with Mark Rufallo and Reese Whitherspoon. Story is about the ghost Reese haunting Mark at his apartment which was Reese’s before an accident. It’s a got a couple of minor twists in it that make you keep watching. I really enjoyed it and I’m not that big of a fan of Reese. 7 out of 10 for this one.
Unleashed DVD problems aside this was another movie that I was excited to see at the movie theatres, but just didn’t like it when I had finished watching it. Stars Jet Li, Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins. In short it’s about Jet Li who is a “attack dog” for Bob Hoskins. One day Bob’s car gets taken out by a rival gang and Jet Li ends up at Morgan Freeman’s place. Eventually Hoskins finds him again and we go through the whole thing again. 3 out of 10 on this one.
8 BelowThe wife wanted to see this one more than I did, but I went anyways. It’s a tear jerker I have to admit and it’s one of Paul Walkers better movies in my opinion. If you don’t know the story on this one it’s about a guide on Antartica (Walker) who has to take a scientist out to find a meteor rock. They find the rock, but on the way back they get hit by a big storm and just barely make it back to their base camp. The only reason they made it back to the base camp was because of the dogs. Due to the storm they have to evacuate immediately and the dogs are left behind with the intention of going back. Well they don’t make it back. The rest of the story is about Walker trying to get back and how the dogs survive for nearly 6 months without anyone caring for them in the barren Antartica. Very sad movie, but I’ll give it a 7 out of 10. For the guys there’s a new hottie in this movie that I think we’ll be seeing a lot of in the future. Name is Moon Bloodgood. I wasn’t able to find many pictures of her, but I think we’ll see her in the future!
And we have one more movie to watch. That being Elizabethtown!
