Street Kings

Street Kings

Here’s a new movie to look forward to… It’s been a while since I’ve seen an action flick with Keanu Reeves in it so that’s the lure of this movie for me. Meanwhile hubby likes action-filled movies so it’s a must see for him. We saw the trailer while waiting for the next movie in HBO (Or was it Star Movies?) this weekend. It is about an LAPD vice detective (Reeves) who makes a vow to do whatever it takes to find the killers of his former partner and in the process might have bended the law to get the job done. The movie also stars great actors like Forest Whitaker (from Vantage Point) and Hugh Laurie (of the famed TV series, HOUSE, M.D.). I wonder when this movie is going to be shown here in the Philippines?

27 dresses

Ok, I know it’s been a while since this movie was shown but I just realized that the post I was supposed to have written about it remained unpublished and in draft mode so I just edited it and voila! New post about an “old” movie!

The movie is a romantic comedy about a young woman named Jane who has always been “good” and responsible all her life. She has a hard time saying “no” to her friends and family and so most of the time they take advantage of her weakness. Her ultimate dream is to be able to make arrangements for a wedding of her own — she has acted as wedding coordinator for practically all her friends! And not only that, she was bridesmaid in all those weddings she helped plan. Hence the 27 dresses. Anyway, in one of the weddings she was bridesmaid in, she met Kevin, a writer about weddings but was a cynic at heart and doesn’t believe in marriage. He was intrigued by her specially when she left her organizer in the taxi which he boarded and decided to make an article for the paper he writes in about her. Meanwhile, Jane who is secretly in love with her boss made the mistake of introducing her younger “selfish” sister to her boss who instantly fell in love with her sister. Before she knew it, Jane was helping her sister plan the latter’s wedding to her boss… From there on, it was a series of funny yet heartwarming events which leads to a beautiful ending. What was the ending? Well, you better watch it for yourself and find out!
