Baby Mama
Cute movie staring Tina Fey (30 Rock) who seeks out Amy Poehler (SNL) to be her surrogate when she is unable to have a baby or adopt (because single). Problems, hilarity and junk ensue. The movie is entertaining enough, a few chuckles, no laugh out loud moments for me. It’s one you enjoy while watching and then forget about before you even reach your car. Good date movie but otherwise see it as a matinee.
Deception
Excellent cast can not redeem this incredibly slow moving movie. Everything takes a long time to occur with many useless details that add nothing to the story. Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman are wasted. They could have done these roles in their sleep. Michelle Williams has simply never looked better, taking the Kate Beckinsale school for looking sexy (longer hair, better makeup), but really her role could have been played by any random woman in Hollywood. The idea of the story would have made a good Law & Order episode but that’s about all. The cast will lure you to watch this movie, but don't. Even seeing Maggie Q in see-through lingerie isn't worth it. It’s just too slow, predictable and boring. If you’re determined to see it, wait until it’s free on cable TV and even then I wouldn't bother.
Forbidden Kingdom
Fun, action filled movie. It’s basically the typical quest movie where the unexpected hero must gather friends and go defeat the evil overlord. Jet Li and Jackie Chan do their usual excellent acrobatics (with help of wirework) and kung fu. The action sequences are well executed. It’s just a generally entertaining film for all ages. Don't go in expecting anything but action and you should be good to go. See it with friends or family.
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
If you liked the first Harold & Kumar then you will like the sequel. If you didn't, then you will not like this one. It’s an amusing film, but it didn't do much for me. It had its smile moments. Few laugh out loud moments. The movie was at its best when they duo hooked up with Neil Patrick Harris but started deflating after that. See it as a matinee if you’re really curious but otherwise it is a renter.
