Hall Pass

3 3/4 out of 5 stars

What exactly is a Hall Pass? A Hall Pass is a pass for a week off of marrige with no consequences. The concept let the men attempt to re-live their "glory days". In this movie 2 guys get a hall pass and spend the week trying to pick up girls becuase they know they can't get in trouble for it. Through a series of events, they end up getting into mischeif and almost getting arrested. The ending was cute. I did think the movie was hilarious! even though most of the time I was laughing due to the stupidity of it. I would definitly say this is a movie for mature audiences (Hence the "R" rating) It would make a fun guys night out movie and depending on what your comfortable with it might make a good date movie for adults.

Rated R for crude and sexual humor throughout, language, some graphic nudity and drug use

I am number 4


4 stars

I am number 4 is the story of a boy from a different planet who is number 4 and he ends up going to public school where there he finds out that he has powers. He falls in love with a girl and becomes friends with a guy who finds out about his powers and they all have to team up together to defeat "The Capturers" While they are fighting the capturers they are introduced to number 6 and find out that his dog is from his planet and helps him defeat the bad guys.

I enjoyed the special effects in the movie and the storyline was very easy to follow! I would have to say that this is one that you would get the same effect watching it on DVD as you would in the theater

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and for language.

No Strings Attached

4 stars

This is the story of 2 friends who after many years end up running into eachother and find out that they can both help eachother out with "benifits" and after being sex friends for so long he ends up falling for her but she breaks up with him because she doesn't believe that love can last but through the twisits and turns in the story they end up finding out that they both love eachother. The storyline for this film was great and the acting was really good! I would reccomend this movie for a date night. It has comedy, drama, and romance all wrapped up into one story.
Rated R for sexual content, language and some drug material

The Green Hornet

3 1/2 stars
This is the story of a Britt Reed, Son to the owner of one of the biggest newspapers in LA but when Britt's dad mysteriously dies he has to take over the company. He becomes aquantinces with Kato who was the mechanic for Mr.Reed and they tag team to get back at Britt's father for being soon mean but soon find out that they can be a help to the city and stop crime. They create the Green Hornet and make a car called the black beauty in order to defeat some of the biggest criminals in LA. I really enjoyed the green hornet! I was not extremely impressed with the storyline of the film though. The main reason I loved this film was because of the action and the car. I would not say that this is a movie you would enjoy for the storyline or the acting but definitely for the car and action scenes! It was well worth seeing in theaters because the big screen makes you get a good feel for the action
Rated PG-13 for sequences of violent action, language, sensuality and drug content

True Grit


3 1/2-4 stars

True Grit is the story of a 14 year old girl who sets out to get revenge on the man that killed her father with Cogburn and Labouf as her partners. This movie did a great job at keeping true to the old west with the setting, costumes, sounds, and transportation, I was very impressed with that aspect of the film. I saw this version of the film before watching the original and I did not think it went into great detail about the story as much as the original did. This is a movie I would say that you can wait until it comes to DVD to see
