Ok, time for a quick session of movie reviews from the last week. However, since I'm lazy and also don't want to waste your time, here's the thing: one sentence movie reviews. So here we go.
Jarhead - 6/10 - IMDb
While having a few noteworthy moments, overall this seemed like a poor version of Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket' and should be avoided unless you're stranded in the desert just like these guys, because your 2 hours is better spent elsewhere.
Stay - 5/10 - IMDb
Going for the whole mind-blowing angle and missing horribly, this movie leaves too much open to interpretation (as opposed to just the right amount) and doesn't provide enough juice to keep the engine running throughout the movie's duration.
Two For the Money - 5.5/10 - IMDb
This flick started out fairly strong but lost heat quick as it went from a fast-paced "darker side of the business" angle to a "life lessons" angle, leaving the viewers with 40 minutes of entertainment, 40 minutes of writing that must've been taken from a Chicken Soup book, and 40 minutes of scenes that should have been scrapped in the editing room.
Prime - 6.5/10 - IMDb
For the most part predictable, and despite it's weak ending, an overall enjoyable movie where we get to watch Meryl Streep agonize over Uma Thurman dating Bryan Greenberg, though it's more likely she's weeping over their lack of acting talent than their 14 year difference in age.
