NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Honor Thy Father (2014)
Tears and Laughs
That was a wonderful send off episode, for both the season and Gibbs' father. It gave me both tears and laughs, while keeping me wanting for more. Time to break out the boxed sets until next season. It was also nice to see more realizations to some of Gibbs' more obscure characteristics, like his fascination with boats. His past is something that was always kept on the hush-hush, so it was great to see more of this hidden part of his life. It was beautiful and sad. The case they were working was interesting, with some nice trips into the past. There were pleasant introductions to new characters and even better to see some old, familiar faces. Overall, it was a pleasure to watch.
The Prestige (2006)
Oh, that ending...
I will begin this review by stating that the ending really carried the film. If they had done the ending any different or had excluded it altogether, the film would have been entertaining, but not much else.
The movie was visually thrilling with the special effects and the acting was superb. I don't think there was anyone in the cast I truly didn't like watching. The plot twists, particularly in the last five minutes, were just...OUTSTANDING. There are few words to describe just how well this movie is and they're all alluding me.
The questions this movie brings to mind are conversational pieces long after the credits have rolled. I didn't fall asleep until a few hours after the end of the film. It was fantastic to watch and has definitely made it into my top 10.
The Change-Up (2011)
Horrid movie
Disregarding the fact that this is a grossly overused storyline of switching bodies, I was willing to give it a shot. I wish to the heavens I hadn't. I know I'm pretty late having seen this movie last week, but I hadn't even known it existed prior to watching a trailer on Youtube.
When the second line of the film is a 'f-bomb', I knew I was in trouble. Don't get me wrong. There are times I've been known to swear like a sailor, but this movie went way too overboard. Almost every other line had multiple curses, distracting from whatever piece of the flimsy plot remained.
The jokes were overused, repeated, and not funny at all. Combining that with the fact that they seemed to deliberately lose the plot, I wish I when I had paused the movie to go to the restroom, I had actually just shut it off.
This movie had an amazing cast, but with the absolutely heartstopping bad script, it had no chance. The fact that there were small children in some of the most ludicrous scenes makes me want to punch the face of everyone who allowed it.
If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and don't. It's not worth the time, money, or loss of braincells.
