Very Funny! Hope they have a Sequel

I went to see RED with my mum, boyfriend and lil' sis. It delighted all of us so I'd recommend it for anyone over the age of 12. I can't remember much of any foul language and the laughs kept coming in-between moments that gave the characters depth. This is the kind of movie you'd want to go see for a light-hearted afternoon with friends, family, or even a date.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Little Heavier

I thoroughly enjoyed Iron Man 2. I went last night to see Iron Man followed by Iron Man 2 so with the two movies juxtaposed as such, I was really able to see the heavier tone that the second movie takes. Stark must face the nearness of his own demise and his extreme narcissism doesn't allow him to grapple with this looming possibility very well. All the while, he must deal with a government trying to steal his design and a brilliant but maniacal Russian seeking revenge for his wronged father.
I admit that I was sad to see that Rhodey was replaced (actor Terrence Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle in the second film) but Cheadle gave a depth of character to Rhodes that really emanated more than I think Howard could have given the character's progression.
The big flaw I found with the film is the choice of actor for Ivan Vanko. It's not that Rourke didn't play his part well, it's just that I couldn't stop thinking about how ugly and greasy Rourke is now (not the character, but Rourke himself.) May sound childish, but it took away from the film as it kept bringing me back to reality and separating the actor from the character in my mind.
All in all a great action packed movie that had it's funny points to lighten up the dark underlying story. Oh, and Agent Romanoff kicks butt!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A Realistic Scare

Going in my top 5 horror movies, this film lingers with you. If you are into scary movies that are realistic and scare the bejeezus out of you because they can actually happen in real life, then this film is a must see. The events presented are true to real life haunting/possession scenarios. And the audience gets easily involved in the story as the onscreen couple is relatable to at least one relationship each of us has had. Brilliant in an "oh my god, this could soooo happen to me" kind of way.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
