@ the Movies DOUBLE FEATURE - Bachelorette/Alex Cross


Two different films, two films both have received dreadful reviews, but are they bad? Find out below on some Monday light reading.


Like last year's SMASH hit Bridesmaids this takes a ladies look at what can turn out to be a horror day, the Wedding Day.  Things all go terribly wrong on the eve prior to the Wedding and if the bride has friends like Kristen Dunst, Isla Fisher & Lizzy Caplan, she may as well juts have her mum present.  Bachelorette is definitely not as top notch as Bridesmaids, the laughs are few and far between and the three mentioned above are just horrible.

You wonder why the whole movie Rebel Wilson wants these ladies around her?

It is great to see two Aussie girls making there mark though on Hollywood in this kinda average comedy.

Nice to see ladies behaving badly again but the same old tricks being pulled out doesn't exactly amount to the best comedy doing the rounds @ present.  Bachelorette rates 3 stars.



Universally disliked and missing Morgan Freeman I was expecting the worst, however I ended up getting a decent action/thriller film.

It's strange how gritty "Kiss the Girls" and "Along Came the Spider" were and then this is such a polished Hollywood piece of work, not that that's a bad thing but also missing the main lead and turning former TV good guy Matthew Fox into a bad ass is hard.

But Matthew Fox is actually great as a villain and Tyler Perry does his best.  You feel ill every time he calls someone a maggot, maybe it's the M Rating but fuckwit, asshole or C%&T would have worked so much better for some of the situations this occurs in.

The action scenes are great and the mystery isn't so much a mystery as it's all laid out on the table (Dexter Morgan style) early on.

Alex Cross isn't a bad film it's just not at the same level the Alex Cross films were over 10 years ago.

Things change in 10 years, like we are not ruled by a man with short man syndrome.  Alex Cross it's a bit good, it's a bit bad (as in the script) but overall like in the movies good wins out.  3 Stars.

Tomorrow - An Aussie Hip Hop song of the Day..... Guy Sebastien "Battlescars" maybe???
