Review: Role Models (2008)

Kind of an average movie. Role Models is about Danny (Paul Rudd) and Wheeler (Seann William Scott) who are energy drink (Minotaur) reps who has to do 150 hours of community service for bad behavior, which will change their lives forever. Watch out for the cool Minotaur truck. LAIRE (Live Action Interactive Role-playing Experience) is something we can all do ;) story has a big part in it.

Review: Transporter 3 (2008)

I always loved the first two transporter movies. This one is much better than those two. Awesome car stunts and pursuits. Lot more action, fighting scenes and Audi cars (Like a Audi advertisement). Surprisingly there is a BMX bike stunt scene also. This time Frank Martin (Jason Statham) has to deliver his package with a bomb strap in his hand that explode if he move too far from his car. Good action movie.

Review: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)

Man this movie is so cute and funny. I don't know why I didn't watch the first film.
I love the penguins. The story continues from the last film as the Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo crash land in Africa.
Animation was amazing, neatly done. I'm sure anyone will love this film specially kids.

Review: Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)

Wow great movie. I laughed my tears out watching this movie. This must be the best movie I saw of Seth Rogen. The story is about two (Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks) lifelong friends who are so broke they cannot even pay their bills, They decided to make a porno movie. They soon find out that they have something more than a friendship. Do watch out for some more fun scenes when credits are displayed at the end. (Warning: there are nudity scenes in the film)

Review: Appaloosa (2008)

I can say that film is over rated. Acting was great by Ed Harris (Marshal) and Viggo Mortensen (Deputy). Film was bit slow paced and was a typical wild western film, It also contain some romance. The story is about two men hired to marshal a town which is out of control because of a rancher who try to make his own laws. The two marshals are pulled in to more complication after arrival of Renée Zellweger (Allie French) who show lot of affection to Marshal. I expected more duel gun fight in a wild wild west story.

Review: Ip Man (2008)

Fantastic Kung-fu movie, One of the best after Kung Fu Hustler. The movie is about Yip Man who was the first to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun publicly.
Ip man was the master of the great Bruce Lee. This is not a complete biography. Very realistic fighting scenes which you cannot see in present action films. Recommended for everyone.

Review: Soul Men (2008)

Very good film. I Laughed all the way to the end. Film starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac, excellent performance by them. The story is about two soul-singing legends trying to make a reunion performance after 20 years. Nice to see Samuel L. Jackson in film like this. Soul Men also has some nice music to shake your hips around. (Warned: there are some nudity scenes)
