Official Website Directed by Donovan Marsh Produced by Toby Jaffe Neal H. Moritz Gerard Butler Tucker Tooley Alan Siegel Mark Gill Written by Arne Schmidt and Jamie Moss Based on Firing Point by Don Keith & George Wallace There were many reasons why we made sure we were going to watch this movie besides GERARD BUTLER being my second biggest multifaceted very harmless crush, The Navy.   My dad retired from service twenty-five years ago as a Flag Officer, so among the branches of service, The Navy is closest to our hearts. I was incredulous about certain scenes, like how easy the air and land crew  were able to enter enemy territory, but I love the movie anyway. The movie was fair to both sides, and I love the conversation of the two Captains (MICHAEL NYQVIST and Butler), and there were a lot of nail biting scenes that made me squeeze the hands of my folks. COMMON, LINDA CARDELLINI, and GARY OLDMAN ga...

The world's top protection agent is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world's most notorious hit men. The relentless bodyguard and manipulative assassin have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours. During  their journey from England to the Hague, they encounter high-speed car chases, outlandish boat escapades and a merciless Eastern European dictator who is out for blood.-WWW Note:  Not for the very young and faint of heart.  There is morbid humor, some irreverent expletives, violence and many more things not laudable, but there's true love and the "no killing of innocents" kind of thing. Leadership Lessons and Quotes from The Hitman's Bodyguard Maybe it's not the best movie ever written and created, but the scenes are pretty exciting...just forget about morality and all because while you are watching this film.  The former President of Belarus pl...

Asa Butterfield as Gardner and Britt Robertson as Tulsa Photograph from teaser-trailer.com Side story: Watching this movie was unplanned.  I just felt I needed to go out of the house for a while.  No.  I didn't stay in the house all day.  As a matter of fact, I arrived home after a heavy day and decided everything before cooking dinner for my folks.   I called my Bestie and asked if she could accompany me.  I already planned to watch another movie with some other friends next week and yet another movie with my folks.  It was the "only" movie I could watch and the time was perfect...just before dinner!   Thank goodness she was free and she was interested in watching this movie.   Crazy me.   I just knew the title and the premise, but I didn't know who is in it and I call myself a researcher?  This was not the first time it happened, but somehow I wanted to watch this movie with a clean slate.   It turns out Besti...

Yes.  I wondered to myself. ...

Andy Serkis and James Franco (a footage from Rise of the Planet of the Apes shown in this movie) http://screenrant.com/dawn-planet-apes-spoilers-ending/ When I was a little girl I loved watching the TV series called PLANET OF THE APES. It was one of my favorite shows and I felt for both the nice humans and the nice apes, but when the 2001 version megged by Tim Burton was released, I did not have any desire to watch it.  I don't know why, but I promised myself that I would never watch Planet of the Apes again. In 2011, THE RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES became a blockbuster hit.  Thinking it was another Tim Burton(I like Tim Burton and his movies, but...) version, I did not watch it. I did not even have plans of watching THE DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE AP...

RoboCop 2014 Film No one should play god, no matter how good their intentions are.  After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.   This year's RoboCop has a bunch of god-wannabes.  There's Raymond Sellars(Keaton), a self-centered person whose primary goal is to be richer than he already is.  He does not care if he steps on other people's toes or even kill people, as long as his reputation would gain accolades from all sectors in society, most especially the people of the US of A. Reluctantly, there's Doctor Dennet Norton(Oldman).  He has a good heart, but somehow his mind was clouded with the belief that he was doing the right thing. He manipulated Alex Murphy's brain. Maddox/Mattox(Haley), a trigger-happy military tactician. I'm sorry, but I was so happy when Alex tased him.  There are others, but I might just give the story away. It's somehow far from the origi...
