Almost Famous (2000)

Jacqueline:

Having never watched this movie upon its original release, watching this for the first time in 2010 is a bit...well, odd. Its a film based in the seemingly late 60's and has a bunch of events and run-ins reminding me a lot of my childhood in South Florida with my very Catholic parents. Enough said. Beautiful shots of the sunrising, green landscapes and of course, hot people doing drugs and one another. I am in love with the druggy-look Kate Hudson goes for. Such a stretch for her. Its a party film, entertaining and I could see why in 2000, she won a Golden Globe. We obviously didn't have a competing drug film out.

3 out of 5 stars

The Expendables (2010)

Jacqueline:

The Expendables was exactly that, expendable. This film definitely used up everything and I mean, everything that action films use. It was loud, it was sweaty and most of all, it was LOUD. Not really sure what the plot was here...but man oh man, was this movie loud. Also, just incase you are thinking about going to 'Times Square' to see this film, don't. Its loud enough without all the football players yelling like they are in the film, or at a Dallas Cowboys event. Horrible. But this is coming from someone who lives for 'Volver', 'Y Tu Mama Tambien' and 'Habla Con Ella'.

Lots of luck. 2 out of 5 stars.

The Other Guys (2010)

Jacqueline:

I am sad to report that all of the funny and laughable parts are already in the previews :( Do not run to this 'Will Ferrell' flick. Instead, see 'Dinner for Schmucks' twice!!! [2 out of 5 stars]

Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

Jacqueline:

I love little dead animals!!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarious movie, filled with a great ending and really cute (weird) things going on. Definitely a 'fun' film. I say, go for a night with the gals (or guys) have drinks before (or after) and LAUGH. Besides, that's what we are all here for...right!!!??? :) 4 out of 5 stars (because I laughed/smiled a lot).
