The Trouble with Bliss (2011)
This movie should be more like a 6.5 or 7
I Love Michael C. Hall and if you liked Six Feet Under or Dexter I would highly recommend this film. It has an indie feel, it's not for anyone looking for an action film or a romantic comedy. Very real down to earth movie, if you have ever been depressed or felt like hiding away then you could related to the main character. All the acting is very well done and the female actresses "Brie Larson" "Lucy Lu" and "Sarah Shahi" are very attractive. It's also not going to take up much time at about an hour and a half. I got this movie out not expecting much because of the mediocre rating, but I'll let you be the judge because I was pleasantly surprised.
Savages (2012)
I liked parts of this movie...it's a bad but entertaining movie
Well this movie was not as good as I thought it was going to be but I'm not all that surprised based on what Oliver Stones been doing as of late. With that being said I still enjoyed parts of this want a be Tarantino like film. I would only suggest seeing this movie if it's free or someone else is paying because it's way to long at 2 hours and 15 minutes. It should have been over in an hour and 40.
Contain's spoiler's: The things I liked about this movie: Afghani marijuana
Aaron Johnson (His acting was much more convincing then his other two co-partners)
Benicio Del Toro (He plays this part all to well)
Salma Hayek (Good to see her again and this time as an evil drug dealer)
The kidnapping of Elena's daughter and them putting her in a freezer
Things I disliked about this movie: Blake Lively (Lets just say her acting is not as good as her looks, it wouldn't be hard to find a more suitable actress for this role, her narrating was way to much like Twilight)
Taylor Kitsch (I'm not sure way this guy's acting annoys me so much but it does, it's like they wanted Chris Hemsworth but he was to busy)
John Travolta (I felt like his part in this movie as DEA was some how comic relief...so unbelievable and outlandish like when he gets stabbed threw his hand, next scene he just has a bandage on it)
The Ending of this movie is awful and it doesn't matter which ending..Stone give's you two to choose from and they both suck. The fist ending has a ridiculous shoot'em up scene, were everyone basically gets shot a bunch of times stupidly in an up close firing range around an SUV. Instead of shooting from a distance..Kitsch with his navy seal training runs from one SUV to another getting shot by snipers. So that both main charters of the movie get shot up close by Del Toro. Then Kitsch decides to fatally inject Johnson and lively and then himself so they can all die together, This would have been a really lame ending. The real ending to the movie is no better with Travolta and the DEA coming in and busting everyone (All most felt like the movie Clue) not before a shoot out with Del Toro killing Hayek. And after all that the two guys do to get her back the movie ends with the three of them not together.....that's what the entire movie was about...them being together again????
