Bounty Hunter Movie Review
Stars Jennifer Anniston and real life boy friend Gerard Butler. Jennifer plays a reporter tracking down a hot lead. She inadvertently jumps bail for a traffic violation to chase the lead. The funny part is she bumped a police horse and was freed on $50,000 bond. It is hard to believe a judge is that strict but this is Hollywood. Jennifer Anniston plays the same character in most of her movies but we like that.
Gerard Butler’s character is her ex husband who was fired from the police force. He is a bounty hunter and is given the opportunity to bring in his ex wife. Along the way they work together eventually to solve the case. I felt the chemistry between the two characters.
Movie is very cute and predictable. If is good entertainment. Jennifer Anniston is her usually perky cute sexy self. This movie is okay for children. There are a number of sight gags and very little if anything to make a parent cringe.
How to Train Your Dragon Movie Review
This is an animated film from Dream Works. In a Viking village, there is a problem of fire breathing dragons everywhere. A young boy goes to school with other boys and girls to learn how to fight them. He discovers on his own a dragon with a broken tail stuck in a canyon. He and the dragon become friends and he helps mend his tail. The animation in the film, viewable in 2D or 3D is spectacular. I was in awe of the work that went into this. The waters look real, as does the fire and the hair and beards of the Vikings. I thought it would be too scary for the little guys but there were children in the theater as young as three and they were stunned. No one cried.
The story is good albeit predictable and simple however the visual effect make the film. As with a lot of good animated films, you forget after a while this is animation and your mind makes the characters real. I would recommend this for parent and of course their progeny. My grandson gave it a 10 on a scale of 1-5. If this is the future of animation, it is hard to imagine what come next.
