Angels and Demons Review

Ron Howard's follow up film of Dan Brown's book Angels and Demons reunites us with Symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) who has to save Rome from Biblical annihilation in 8 Hours.  No Problem.  A&D has all the usual bells and whistles.  It's a fun ride and the energy from newcomer Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zuer) is refreshing.  If your looking for anything other than summer popcorn fun you might be disappointed.  But,  ease expectation and you'll have a fun ride.  This film swells in all the right places and has many fun twists and turns that remind you of a James Bond film.

It has more of a National Treasure feeling when it comes to Biblical fact compared to the first film.  The Da Vinci Code dealt with a much more volatile subject.  This version steers clear of any such potential conflicts and takes a safe road of a straight thriller.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno Review

Kevin Smith returns with Zack and Miri make a Porno.  The first half of the film spends too much time on what we see way in advance is a budding romance that is bound to happen between two long time friends/roommates aka Harry Met Sally.  The film gets trapped in a lot of unnecessary raunchy humor.  There are many laughs.  When the film's romantic turn finally comes it tries to teases us with a departure.  The film quickly wraps up and leaves you wanting more.  Just felt unfinished.  Still worth seeing. But if not definitely a Netflix cue.

Seven Pounds Trailer Review

Seven Pounds is the new film that Will Smith has coming out this Christmas.  The trailer was on the head of Max Payne.  The trailer while it might be a teaser has a fatal flaw.  It is implied that Will's character did something wrong and needs to help seven people for redemption.  Problem is they don't tell you of give you an idea of why he has to make these acts of kindness.  It make the trailer disjointed because it has no driving motive.  If they simply gave that little information the trailer would work, but currently it doesn't.

Check out the trailer and let me know if you agree.
