Review:

Sabrina (Paula Patton) and Jason Taylor (Laz Alonso), despite the differences in their financial stability and their upbringing, fall in love and want to get married. Seems easy enough, but because their decision is quick even though they’d been dating for five months, their families have not met their new in-laws. And so at their rehearsal is when the fireworks begin when Sabrina’s mom (Angela Bassett) who is very classy and rich meets the down-to-earth and sassy mother of Jason (Loretta Devine). Their fighting over where to have the wedding starts a whole slew of battles which makes the couple wonder if getting hitched is even the right thing to do. The whole thing is proving to also be a quite distressing assignment for wedding planner Amy (Julie Bowen from Modern Family), who is just trying to get through it all. Read more…

Review:

Priest, a film based on a Korean comic book, tells the dark tale of a warrior who is living in a post-apocalyptic society where vampires and humans exist, but not peacefully. They have warred for centuries and during the last big war, the vampires were thought to have been killed off. But people lived in huge walled cities run by the Church, who got control of the population in order to “protect” it’s citizens. When a warrior priest (Paul Bettany) who has been living a normal a life as possible under the radar has a vision that the vampires are returning, he is told by the head of the Church (Christopher Plummer) that he must never say what he has seen and threatens to take away his life if he were to reveal the secret. But when the priest’s daughter (Lily Collins) is taken by the vampires, he has no choice but to forego his previous existence and go on a quest to save her against the vampires. With help from a former warrior priestess (Maggie Q) and a wasteland sheriff, who is dating his daughter (Cam Gigandet), the priest must face many dangers to get back that which has been taken.

Review:

In Norse Mythology, there is a god of thunder who uses his hammer to stomp out his enemies. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is his name and he is a powerful immortal whose arrogance gets him into trouble and when his actions start a war among the ancients, he is cast out of Asgard to the modern day mortal realm, where Odin (Anthony Hopkins) hopes he will learn humility. While there, he meets Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) who finds him battered from his fall to Earth. Her team, along with Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) and their mentor Dr. Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard) want to find the gateway for which he came from as a matter of science. In Thor’s absence on Earth, however, there is a power struggle in Asgard when Odin falls into a deep sleep and only Thor can bring peace back to the kingdom. But will his brother Loki give up the reigns so easily? With the help of his new friends, the Earth and the mythological kingdom may have a chance. Read more…
