Beyond a Reasonable Doubt 2009

Surprise surprise, another movie about dirty cops, dirty lawyers, and overall corruption in the government. The real surprise was that Beyond a Reasonable Doubt was actually fairly decent. Reporter CJ Nicholas’ (Jesse Metcalfe) plan to expose district attorney Mark Hunter (Michael Douglas) for planting dna evidence in order to obtain convictions in 17 murder cases is actually quite ingenious and even believable.

While the performance from the main characters (and by main characters, I mean all the actors whose names and faces you might actually recognize. Jesse Metcalfe, Amber Tamlyn, Joel Moore, Michael Douglas, and Orlando Jones) was really good, a lot of the supporting characters sounded like they were reading off of cue cards. I know they weren’t very important to the story, but they were bad enough to stick in my mind, even after the great, unexpected twist at the end. Your average high school play participant could have provided a more believable performance.

Overall tho, this movie had me eagerly waiting for the next tidbit of information, and even had me guessing, incorrectly, about what was coming next. While I’m still trying to decide if this film is actually worth purchasing, it is definitely worth watching once or twice, if for no other reason, it does have a couple of beautiful faces in it that make it worthwhile.

The Bounty Hunter 2010

I am really surprised that they got Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston to do this movie. I understand it was a “safe” movie for them to do but it flopped anyways. Now do not get me wrong it is not that they are bad actors or anything because they did do a really good job. It was just that the story is sooo cliche and sooo boring. There just is no value behind the movie. It is the typical romantic comedy.

What I did like about the movie was Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston. I mean you have this kick ass dude that just destroyed dudes in 300 and turns around to play a lovable teddy bear. This guy has amazing talents. The really really funny that I have noticed and it might just be me but he does an action flick and them does a romantic comedy flick. Not sure if anyone else has noticed but to me that is what I see. Please call me out if I am wrong. Then we have Jennifer Aniston which really does nothing these days but is so FINE. She really gets in to this character but as she starts to do a good job in the movie it seems like she is distracted by something. Almost as if she was too good for this type of thing.

Taking in the consideration of this bad ass dude and this fine chick, that was really the only thing holding The Bounty Hunter up. Not only was it filled with no names and a sort of retarded story line, it had also flopped pretty hard. I really think this movie would have been better off with a little bit more uniqueness and a with no name actors or some people in the ‘B’ or ‘C’ area. Regardless I am sure they just wanted to make money on this one, so they pushed it out like a bad turd.

As always please, I beg you, go make your own god damn mind up about this movie. I do not care that I even thought that it was shit but if you are 14 year old girl that is brainless as shit or a person that has no depth in movies you might like it.

Possession 2009

Do not even get me started on this movie. It just did not even really have anything interesting going on here. The only real reason I saw this movie is because someone had suggested or some shit like that. Well I got a couple of words SHITTY MOVIE. That is being a little bit dramatic because in all honesty it really is not that bad. The acting was ok and the story progressed easily. It was just to simple and extremely predictable.

Possession is a movie that is essentially all about love. This is exemplified in the beginning of the movie where this couple is apparently living the dream with the husband being PERFECT. The only draw back is that his brother a total screw up that can never do anything right because he sucks dick. Anyways, the wife Jes (Sarah Michelle Gellar) pisses the brother Roman off so he storms off like a little bitch. Eventually leading to a freak car accident with his brother on the Golden Gate Bridge. You get the gist put the rest together.

Like I said the movie is super predictable and I positive that any retard could figure out what is going on here. Its like that moment when you think, “I see what you did” and you have little smirk while saying it. Its that same feeling. It is a clean movie so far as the acting and the flow of the story. So long as you can get over that you know what will happen next it is bearable to watch. Go see this shit yourself and tell me that I am a dumb ass for saying what I have just said.
