Enjoyable Expandables 2

Lots of Action,loads of fun!
I thought it was just a couple of big names that will carry the show. But, I was wrong.

Apart from the muscle men, there was a good story-line that gel them together.

Do not look too closely at the dialogue though some are really quite witty on second thoughts.

Ravishing!
Though they look old and even wizened, these heroes in the likes of Sylvestor Stallone, Arnold Swazenegger, Dolph Lungren, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jean Claude Van Damme, Jason Statham and Chuck Norris do provide the jugular fun for us to be entertained throughout the movie.

Gorgeous!
Providing the eye candy is that mystic beauty from China, Yu Nan.

I Give It A Year

Mismatched for a Year?
It can be pedestrian but if you stay the full length of the movie, there could be some saving grace.

A classic story of finding love and catching whoever comes on the re-bound set the stage for this love story of non-matching couples who stay with their spouses because they want to stay the course of a marriage.

Playing along- Simon Baker and Anna Faris

" I Give It a Year" provided time enough for Natalie and her author husband to live together to tolerate all the things they hate about each other.

The Lovely Rose Byrne
While the dialogue is mostly  silliness, there are some witty dialogue and also " four letter" vocabulary that peppered the movie.

What kept me going was the beautiful Rose Byrne who provided sufficient appeal as the movie moved on or else I would have lost interest.

Anna Faris and Minnie Driver starred along with Simon  Baker and Rafe Spall.

The Kingdom and the Beauty

The Royal Pair of Filmdom
Even in celluloid world, we pay homage to kings, queens and an assortment of royalties.

Here is the ever debonair Ang Lee and the irresistible Nicole Kidman.

For the current Cannes Film Festival, they are indeed the festival's anointed King and Beauty.

Rock of Ages

Fun-filled Musical
Just when you think it is going to be another of those rock pop movies, it came on to you more like a modern day musical.

The Ever Stoned Stacy
There is love, there is jealousy and misunderstanding.

There is a season for despair, and the dawn of hope.

The Oklahoma Beauty
Nice songs, good editing and the entire movie runs on seamlessly from one episode to another before the finale at the Bourbon at The Strip.

The Pole Dancing  Joint Queen
Stars Tom Cruise as weird Stacy Jaxx, Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough and the vivacious Catherine Zeta Jones.

Wah! I Also Want to Be CM of Sarawak....

Imagine, more pay than PM!

Sarawak Boleh!

Wahloi! I also want-leh...........

Parental Guidance and Good Sense!

Wholesome fun!
It really brings back the joys of the movies of the 1990's.

It could be thirty years down the road but this type of movie continues to entertain in that special manner that is at once unadulterated fun without losing the issue of the day.

Yes, "Parenting" or the lack of it.

In this movie, Billy Crystal and Bette Midler are the parents that have been invited over to take care of their grandchildren when their parents have to go out of town. The kids and their idiosyncrasies will drive anyone up the wall and they did.

However, as in most movies, there come the time for resolution and ultimately, triumph!

Great movie, great dialogue and great acting,kids!
