The Expendables 2
Now this movie is bad ass! It brings together The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Rambo (Sylvester Stallone), The Universal Soldier (Jean Claude Van Damme), The Transporter (Jason Statham), Lt. John McClane (Bruce Willis), Jet Li, a Lone Wolf (Chuck Norris), Dolph Lundgren, and new comer Liam Hemsworth in this action packed film. It's full of the cheesy one liners found in many of these 80's kung fu, shoot'em up film stars early careers. It also references many of their famous film roles and almost makes fun of them in such a way as they are making fun of themselves. It is just as good as the first one that came out in 2010.
I enjoyed this movie thoroughly and will definitely be seeing it again in theaters! I would recommend this to any guy who loves over the top action packed films! The only thing this filmed didn't have was Jack Bauer!
Definitely go out and see this movie in theaters to get the full affect of what went into making this movie. The stunts were awesome and you didn't go long without laughing your butt off! Can't wait to buy this one on DVD.

Snow White and the Huntsman
Now I thought this movie was going to be about a dark romance with the evil queen looming in the darkness but it wasn't that at all. Now don't get me wrong, it is a dark twist to the classic Snow White story but there really wasn't much romance going on. The Queen played by Charlize Theron, who was amazing in this role, asks the Huntsman played by Australian actor Chris Hemsworth to go into the dark forest and bring back Snow White. The huntsman decides to side with Snow White along with the seven dwarfs they come across in their journey to the Duke's castle.
When I first found out that Snow White was to be played by Kristen Stewart I was a little worried about how the part was going to turn out. Let's be honest, she's no Oscar winning actor and even though this isn't an Oscar worthy film (at least not in my opinion) I didn't want her bad acting to sink this film. I was glad to see she didn't too bad of a job in this role. The one thing I could have done without was the queen's creepy brother...now he was cringe worthy for sure. I would recommend this for family as I don't see it being bad for children to watch. I thought that it was well done and the cinematography was amazing!
Budget:
$170,000,000 (Estimated)
Gross:
$56,217, 700 (USA)
$309,394,227 (Worldwide)
