Man crush, Ryan Gosling (as Stephen Meyers), is extremely intelligent, hardworking, and devoted to George Clooney (as Gov. Mike Morris).
As Clooney’s run for President picks up steam, Gosling hooks up with super sexy intern Evan Rachel Wood (as Molly Stearns). During this affair, he finds out startling information about Wood and Clooney.
The fantastic, Paul Giamatti (as Tom Duffy), tried to lure Gosling away from Clooney, but is rebuffed. That is….until the startling news, when Gosling decides to defect to the Giamatti camp. Not so easy. Turns out….he has been f**ked over by Duffy. Dirty politics. Yikes!
The movie was kinda boring in the beginning. but as the plot lines developed…..WOW! Not for kids, f-words fly appropriately, and the plot is for adults. Not sure if teens would like it…I mean Clooney, Hoffman,……oh yeah…..Gosling he could do it.
Oh….Marisa Tomei (as Reporter, Ida Horowicz) is *OMG* super sexy and absolutely terrific. If anyone out there knows her…..an introduction would be welcome! :-)
If you do not know where the term “ides of march” comes from….go here (it has something to do with Caesar).

Married couple Rachel McAdams (as Paige) and Channing Tatum (as Leo) leave a party on a snowy night. McAdams gets horny at a stop sign and takes off her seat belt to have sex with Tatum. Unfortunately, a truck runs into them and Paige suffers major brain damage as she flies through the windsheild.
When Paige awakes, she does not remember recent events (within the last 5 years) which means she does not recognize her husband or friends.
“The Vow” is all about Tatum trying to win McAdams love back as she thinks she is still in love with an old flame. Paige’s family are real dicks and do not help at all.
Channing Tatum does awkward, lost, and lonely brilliantly. McAdams, as always, is terrific. There are no f-words, but, the story line is not for kids. 99% of the audience were teen girls 40 to 45 years younger than me. They were rewarded with one extended naked butt shot of Tatum (McAdams got the frontal view, which she seemed to enjoy) and the girls squealed appropriately. Movies are always more fun with a teen audience….:-)

Chau is going to see “Safe House” soon, I will update her rating here…
Ryan Reynolds (as Matt Weston) is a newbie CIA agent in charge of a safe house in Capetown, South Africa. A very boring job.
Denzel Washington (as CIA legend, and traitor, Tobin Frost) has just picked up information that could bring down the leaders of many intelligence agencies around the world.
Problem is: There is a mole in the CIA who controls a very nasty group of special operatives. This mole wants to get that information and will kill anyone to achieve that goal.
Escaping the first attempts, Frost, walks into the U.S. Embassy where he is “protected” (even though he is a traitor). The CIA moves him to Weston’s safe house and start interrogating him (using waterboarding) to learn what he knows about the information. Before he yields, the safe house is attacked killing almost everyone. Luckily, Reynolds escapes with Washington with everyone searching for them.
“Safe House” is rated R and, truthfully, the action was so intense, I do not recall an f-words (I am sure there were some). Bloody, but not gory. Not for kids. I actually guessed the mole very early on…..Harry, Hermione, and Ron would be disappointed.
Denzel Washington has hit another home run. He is TERRIFIC, as is Ryan Reynolds.
This a a great “escape from reality movie” worth seeing in the theaters.

Liam Neeson (as Ottway) is one of my favorite actors.
In “The Grey” he is one of the people in charge of killing the wolves before they eat the oil pipeline workers. As such, he gets to know a little bit about grey wolves, which as it turns out, comes in very handy in this movie.
The plot is linear and easy to follow: A plane carrying the oil workers crashes, 7 survive only to find themselves in mortal danger from man-eating (or at least man-killing) grey wolves.
Survival is paramount and Neeson takes charge. He is the “alpha male” of the human pack.
Graphic depictions of humans during and after wolf mauling, very touching, and graphic, images and dialogue with people dying. OK….this is one f-ing brutal film. I guarantee I will not watch it again…too dang brutal to go through that again. F-words, graphic violence, extremely surprising events that make you JUMP out out of your seat, make this an older teen or adult movie. Leave the kids home!
Oh…the ending is NOT the ending. Stay until the VERY END to see the real ending….it is good to sit and catch your breath anyway….

(Sexy fun)-

Ana Faris (as Ally Darling) wakes up with a new guy next to her in bed. They get up, she goes to work, and is promptly laid off. Arrrghhh…
Riding home she reads an article telling her that the average number of lovers for women, before they find “the one”, is about 10, and that if they reach 20, the chances of getting married is forever diminished.
Ally decides to do a count of her lovers, and comes up with 19 !! Yikes. She is one away from a life of single-dom (at least according to the article).
That night, at the bar with her girlfriends she gets plastered and meets her ex-boss (who had laid her off earlier in the day). Yup…she sleeps with him making him #20. You could say he got to lay her off in the morning and lay her at night. Sweeet.
Now at the limit of sexual partners, Ally decides to recycle through all her ex-lovers (so she does not go over 20) in the hopes she can find one she has already done the deed with to marry. To help her find these guys she enlists her (very) handsome neighbor, Colin Shea (played by Captain America, Chris Evans).
You can pretty much guess what happens, but, along the way Faris and Evans have a chemistry that is very believable (with legs like Faris, I can see why) and the sexy fun moves along in a very enjoyable movie.
Lots of f-words, Faris and Evans both get naked a few times (but, not totally visible)…. pleasing both sexes. :-) Not for kids.

(Just like the book, see my review)-
-
I pretty much know why this is getting kinda bad reviews. It is ALMOST EXACTLY like the book. In a book, the beginning is slow as you get to know the characters, then the speed picks up a little toward the middle, and finally it hits warp speed until it ends with you breathless and spent at the climax (sorta like….oh, well you know 
“One for the Money” follows the book, with only a few minor deviations. The first 30 minutes….ZZZZzzzzzz…as the audience was getting to know the characters, and I was bored since I already knew them. It got better in the middle, Katherine Heigl (as Stephanie Plum) has an extraordinary body helping keep the guys attention before the action starts in earnest, then the long-ish climax with cars blowing up, people dying, shootings, kidnappings, fights, a little bit of sex, and a neat final battle that all help bring the movie up a WaterTower at the end.
Plum is a laid off lingerie salesperson. Her cousin, Vinnie, is kind of a scum bag, but, he hires her as a bounty hunter and hands her a few cases. One case involves an ex-lover, and cop, Joe Morelli (played by Jason O’Mara) who she is eagerly ready to put behind bars (for a $50,000 finders fee). Unfortunately, she knows nothing about bounty hunting, guns, self-defense, etc. This puts her at a distinct disadvantage (especially since Morelli is a cop with all these skills).
Some cussing, but, I don’t recall any f-words. Not for kids, and truthfully, I might wait to watch it on DVD. It might be better to read the book first because the book is funny, fast, and exciting.
For more information go to IMDb. We watched this at CineMark Tracy, CA where the ForCarol.com poster is still up!!!! :-)
PS: Longtime favorite, Fisher Stevens, makes a terrific but very short appearance, and Debbie Reynolds sucked (didn’t she win an Oscar at one time?).
