When In Rome... Don't Bother

Yeah, I went to go see When in Rome. Why? Because I can't stand Mel Gibson.

Since that is out of the way....

When In Rome is a classic romantic comedy (which is Latin for Chick Flick) where a young girl who is dedicated to her job steals some coins from a special fountain in Rome that makes some yuppies fall in love with her.

The story line isn't bad, but the preview pretty much show it all. Especially the funny parts. So if you don't want to spend money on this flick, just youtube the damn thing.

I must admit though, I did laugh a time or two. This means that there was some clever lines in this film. Just FYI. However, most of the dialog in the film was pretty cliche. Some of the jokes were predictable too. When you can figure things out as easily as I did, it really doesn't make the movie worth your time.

The acting wasn't to bad, but it was still bad. However, Kristen Bell is pretty hot. So the movie gets some points there. I don't recall a scene where she looked bad. They really made her look amazing.

So, if you probably couldn't tell, I didn't like this flick. I found myself bored and waiting for the predictable conclusion to arrive. Mainly because I had to go to the bathroom. I am giving this movie a one night stand out of a cherry pit (2 out of 5).

Legion of Doom

So it has been a lil while since I have done this, but shit happens. For instance, there has been holiday. Christmas happened, and then New Years, and then I just didn't feel like going to see a flick. I actually don't even like movies.

But anyway, Legion. Yeah, it's a movie. Yeah, it has Dennis Quaid. I didn't know it had Tyrese, but that didn't make any better.

Basically, God is fed up with Man. However, there is an angel who begs to differ and tries to save a pregnant chick from being killed mainly because she is like Sarah Conner and John Conner must be born.

I think that was my favorite part of the movie. I kind of liked the story. I just didn't like the way it was told. It was almost like they couldn't decide what kind of movie it was going to be. Scary, maybe... Serious, maybe... Funny, possibly. It is kind of all three. Kind of left me at a loss and a little bored.

The dialog wasn't that bad. There were some good lines. They really just didn't have the actors to pull it off. Every time I saw Quaid, I thought of the rookie. Every time I saw Tyrese, I kept expecting to get in to a pimped out car and challenge someone to race. They even had the quarterback from Friday Night Lights, and I was just waiting for him to throw a pass. Pretty much the acting wasn't that great.

So overall, I wasn't even that entertained. I have to give this one a night stand out of a cherry pit (2 out 5).

By the way, I did see The Book of Eli. I don't know if I can give it a fair rating. I have actually seen it twice. I will say I was very entertained. It was a good flick. I have to give it an orgy out of a cherry pit (4 out of 5). For point of reference, Star Trek got an orgy too.
