A blog for people who love movies and the entertainment they provide. Not for highbrow critics. I'll try to review a little bit of everything. I'm always going to the movies and watching DVD's so I decided to share my picks and misses. Feel free to comment on any of my reviews. I welcome all comments and will try to respond asap.

The Dilemna (2011)
I figured Kevin James and Vince Vaughn, what a great comedic team! It was an opportunity to make a funny movie, that would be entertaining and directed by Ron Howard. Yay! Actually, my opinion is nay. I read reviews before I went to see this flick. It was a gamble, people either loved it or hated it. Ronnie (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Kevin James) have been best friends since college and are partners in an auto design firm. Jennifer Connely plays Ronnie's long suffering girlfriend, Beth, who is helping him to recover from a gambling addiction. Winona Ryder plays Geneva, Nick's wife. The friends are in the middle of their firms biggest bid for a contract, to work with Dodge to make an entirely battery powered Charger that sounds and runs like a gas powered one. Nick is the brains and Ronnie is the spin doctor of their firm. While planning his proposal to Beth, Ronnie sees Geneva and Flip (Channing Tatum) kissing. Now we've reached The Dilemna. Does he tell Nick? The resulting storyline is a train wreck just waiting to happen and personally I don't like paying good money to watch a predictable and cliched movie. Ms. Ryder was the best part of the movie. She has once again shown her great acting skills, which we haven't seen in awhile. Geneva is believably evil, yet you feel sympathy for her. Channing Tatum as Flip was great. He played against type and did a great and humorous job
