Movie Nights

We've watched some movies this weekend. The past two nights we spent watching movies. Therefore, I thought I'd share a few quick reviews/recommendations.

We started out with Rush which we own and have seen before but we like watching them again once in awhile. Rush is based on a true story about 2 rival race car drivers, Formula One drivers. There are a couple shall I say, "love scenes" but they weren't too much for me to handle. I have zero problems admitting I'm very conservative. So if I can get through it, anyone can get through it. There's also some bad language but duh, it's based on race car drivers. How many people do you know that compete in competitive sports at a high level and never use a few bad words? All in all it's a well done movie. The fact that it's based on a true story is exactly what appealed to me. Plus the fact it's directed by Opie, it is a Ron Howard movie. Can you go wrong with a Ron Howard movie?...I don't think so.

Let's see what else did we watch this weekend?...Netflix! We watched two movies back to back on Netflix and both we can recommend. First one was called Code Name: The Cleaner, starring Cedric the Entertainer, Nicolette Sheridan, and Lucy Liu. Cedric's character has amnesia and can't remember who he is. He's got to try to figure out what his real life is and why he's having to dodge the FBI. It's not super serious, it's done in a bit of a comical manner. Hence, Cedric the Entertainer!

The second movie we watched was called Matchbreaker. Rather young actors in the movie, likely just starting out their careers in the business, decent acting nonetheless. If you've seen the movie Hitch with Will Smith and Kevin James, then this is the opposite. Will Smith's character in Hitch was trying to help match people together. Whereas this movie's main character is being hired by parents that don't like their daughter's boyfriend and want the main character Ethan to help break their daughter and the boyfriend they don't approve of up. He soon meets the girl of his dreams and let the twisted tale of things ensue. It was a very CLEAN movie. Nothing raunchy that I can recall and the word "dagnabbit" is used instead of any cursing.

Since it's summertime I think we enjoy a few extra movies here and there. We like movies year-round of course. But I'm willing to bet most people are relaxing at home during the dog days of summer and watching a few extra movies here and there, same as us. So there's some options should anyone out there in cyber land need a couple recommendations...:)
