Limitless

Sci-fi Thriller

Starring Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro

I'm a fan of movies that pull the viewer in by making them feel what the character is feeling. Every time Bradley Cooper takes a hit of NZT, the screen gets brighter and more clear. As time flows by for BC's character, the camera shoots through the streets of NYC in a flash. Disclaimer: Beware, those parts made me a little nauseous. What is so addicting about this movie is that you want BC's character to keep taking the pill because that guy is so much for fun to watch. 

The only thing I didn't like was how the movie ended and that there wasn't exactly any closure. Maybe the writers of the film wanted it to feel limitless.

Reel Recommendation: Open your mind to Limitless. It is stimulating.

Captain America

Action

Starring Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving

I've never been into comic books, so all of these superhero movies - Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Iron Man - I had never heard of some of their stories until Marvel and DC Comics got movie contracts and made every comic book geek jump for joy. Being unfamiliar with the Captain America story, I was unsure how the movie was going to make a guy who runs around in a blue leotard with a patriotic shield a hero. I thought the same thing about Thor and his hammer.

The story line is okay but I think the real reason for the film was to get the public ready for The Avengers coming out next year. I think the makers of The Avengers made all the other movie(Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, etc) and then said, "oh crap, we forgot about Captain America! Quick! Put a hot actor with nice pecks in a skin tight costume!" 

This movie does make me excited for The Avengers film that has an ALL STAR cast including Samuel L Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow...must I continue? Okay I will...Jeremy Renner, Paul Bettany, Mark Ruffalo. Can't wait!

Reel Recommendation: Must see as it is a pre-requisite for The Avengers

Bridesmaids

 Comedy

Starring Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph

"BAH HA HA HA HA" That is what I sounded like while watching this. Before sitting down on a Sunday afternoon with my very own Matron of Honor to watch this, I was told it was the funniest movie. That is a pretty bold statement in the movie buff's world. When someone says, "funniest movie" I immediatley think of the comparisons.....Office Space, Tommy Boy, Super Troopers, The Whole Nine Yards (one of my personal faves), Dumb and Dumber, Old School, Liar Liar, Baby Mama and Dodge Ball.

After watching the uncomfortable and imfamous "pooping in the street" scene I heard everyone talking about, I was sold. Bridesmaids was not only hilarious, but it spoke to the truth about women. We are crazy, jealous, competitive bitches. If you are a woman, you can deny it...but I guarentee you saw a glimse of yourself somewhere in that movie.

I enjoyed the raw humor that Kristen Wiig brings to the screen. Her facial expressions allow the audience to see right into her soul funny bone.

 Reel Recommendation:

"Do you Tracey take this movie to be one of the funniest movies of all time?"

"I do"
