In Time

In Time, 2011, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfreid is an action Sci-Fi movie about a possible future where time literally is money. 
  In the movie, Will Salas (Timberlake), is one of the poor people in this new world.  He and his mother live day by day, literally, with just enough hours to keep them alive for the day.  They use the time to buy food, coffee, and even rent. Once the time runs out, however, they die.  So, the rich live forever, and the poor die young.  Salas and his new accomplice, rich Sylvia Weis (Seyfreid), try to even the scales and make the poor rich.  But, they soon learn, why Robin Hood's-robbing-the-rich-to-feed the poor, would be hard to have work in current times. It is hard to get a movie to wrap politics in with action and get a full movie across.  The movie, does fall short a little, and you have to either know your capitalism or just be happy with all the running and gun firing to have a full effect of a movie. 
I know that Justin Timberlake is trying to break into the movies.  I think he is a good actor, and it is hard to find well written movies, nowadays, so don't judge him too harshly for this movie.  As far as who should watch this movie, I recommend people who enjoy action movies, or people that can follow high concepts in movies.  There is not a lot of gore, sexual situations, or nudity in the movie, so it is not bad for teenagers, but again, the political part of the movie, might be over their heads. 
I rate this movie a 4/5.

The Vow

The Vow, 2012, starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams was a box office hit over the weekend.  So, how did this Chick-Flick rate for you? 
The Vow is a movie about the trials that Paige (Rachel McAdams) and Leo (Channing Tatum) went through as their marriage faces the real test of "for better or for worse".  Paige suffers a severe concussion, where she ends up losing her memory of the past few years.  She does not remember that she is married to Leo or anything about her current life. She only remembers that she was in law school and engaged to another man.  Leo has to fight hard to regain the love of his wife and Paige has to fight hard to face the demons of her past once again. 

I found this movie to be a good, down to earth movie, but not laggy.  Lots of dramas nowadays tend to drag in the middle and you wonder why you even care.  But, in this movie, you root for the couple the whole time.  I found it also to be refreshing that it was a clean movie, with only one swear word and one butt shot of Tatum.  Sorry, men, there was no female nudity in this movie. 

Now, I just want to make sure you are educated to what this movie is about before you see it.  Many women in the theater were crying through the whole movie, and some walked out.  Some women said that they did not expect the movie to be like that.  I am not too sure what they were expecting from the previews, but I will let you know that it is not a romantic comedy.  Romantic yes, Comedy, no.  In fact, at first, I was upset with the movie, because how romantic Leo was to Paige, made me sick that only Hollywood could write men to be so loving, but then I discovered at the end of the movie, that it was based on a true story, so perhaps there is hope out there that romantic men are out there.

If you are looking for a nice, clean, romantic movie, then I highly recommend seeing The Vow.
