Rebel Wilson To Star In Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Remake

Movie Review: HOME. Unmemorable & Generic

Home is cute and cuddly, sure, it's quirky and very bubbly. It's bathed pastels and has a shiny plastic feel. The quick laughs and familiar story should make it easy for the film to endear itself, but its that familiarity that makes it unmemorable and generic. The story of a pair of misfits from different worlds coming together is nothing new, and unfortunately Home doesn't bring anything to the table that would set it apart from its predecessors which were much better done. After a hive-minded alien race called the Boov conquer the Earth, they relocate the planet's human population -- all except for a little girl named Tip (Rihanna), who's managed to hide from the aliens. When Tip meets a fugitive Boov called Oh (Jim Parsons), there's mutual distrust. However, Oh is not like his comrades; he craves friendship and fun. After a potentially fatal mistake, Oh finds himself on the run from his own people. As their distrust fades, the pair set out together

It's Complicated Movie Review By: Windy

It's Complicated Movie Review By: Windy Chicago must have had some Hellish wind storms, Windy our resident Film reviewer blew into two films this weekend. We will start with "It's Complicated" first. And make sure to come back and read her review of Sherlock Holmes. Please make a pit stop to her site here . "It's Complicated," starring Merryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, is the story of a divorced couple of ten years who begins having an affair with each other after sparks ignite at their son's graduation weekend. Merryl Streep and Alec Baldwin are perfectly cast as the divorced couple who portray palpable on-screen chemistry. Every emotion they share - anger, happiness, laughter, confusion - is felt through the screen. They play off of each other quite nicely as if they have acted together for years. Alec plays the perfect seducer while Streep plays the not-so-sure-but-jump-feet-first "victim" of seduction. Their comedic tim
