Just Go with It (film)

Romantic Comedy? I felt it was just comedy without the romance. The plot was about faking a family. There were some moments of laughters. However, as the story went on, the characters and their actions got so implausible. It felt like a fake movie to me.

Best things about the film:
I now know "Brooklyn Decker" and I can Google her swimsuit photos.
Jennifer Aniston with her charm.
The song Every Car You Chase. It's a mixture of Every Breath You Take and Chasing Cars.

So, don't worry if you don't get to see this film. Just look at some Brooklyn Decker swimsuit photos, watch Friends re-runs, and listen to this song on YouTube.

Fast Five (film)

I'm not interested in car chases, but it was surprisingly entertaining. I'm not going to comment on the plot or the characters etc. I'll just comment on some random details.

The film features:
  • Federal agents who wear Under Armour compression t-shirts all the time.
  • A battle between two bald burly men. One grows a goatee and bigger biceps for you to distinguish who's who when they are fighting.
  • The usual "hard working government agent chasing 'good' fugitives then realizes the bad guy is somebody else in the last half hour of the film".
  • A swimsuit scene that's no competition to Brooklyn Decker in Just Go with It.
  • A police station in Rio de Janeiro that is owned by a drug lord.
  • Some flavours of Ocean's Eleven and The Italian Job.
