Faster

Another kick ass The Rock movie with... The Rock!
A guy (Dwayne Johnson) gets out of jail and decides to take his revenge to all the people who were involved in his brothers killing. Its a rampage and a bloodbath. A pussy hitman gets in the crossfire with Dwayne to spicen up the things a little bit but he s no match for an angry big vengekiller. A detective (Billy Bob Thornton) gets to investigate whats left behind Dwayne but also with a twist. I like this tipe of no compromise, kill all, blow stuff up badass movies and Dwayne delivers just that.
If he had just blown away the "I found Jesus" black priest. It would be so much cooler!!!
I give it 4.0/5

Source Code

A new hit movie about a secret US military project involving time travel, multiple universes, changing destinies and all bunch of other stuff all in one.
Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) a soldier stationed in Afganistan wakes up in a train realizing he asumed the identity of someone called Sean. His appearance has also changed and a girl that talks to him, Christina (Michelle Monaghan) also refers to him as Sean. In 8 minutes the train explodes and Colter finds himself in a strange pod talking through an audio link with some woman called Goodwin. She explains through a series of tries that his mission is to return to the train over and over (through his consciousness) and to find the bomb and the bomber.
The movie is thrilling and exciting. It has a few weaknesses but nothing for an ordinary viewer to be concerned about. My biggest fear was with Jake and his weak acting. I didnt want another Prince of Persia crap but he did ok and believable.
Just because of sci-fi stuff I give it 4.0/5

The Leap Year

A movie my girlfriend made me watch.
The lead actress (Amy Adams) goes to Irelad to propose to her boyfriend. On the way she has a lot of obstacles but a local guy who owns a b&b (and is a perfect gentelmen) helps her to find her way in a foreign land. When she returns to Usa with her fiancee she realizes that the misterious Irish bloke (Declan) stole her heart. She returns to Ireland and proposes to him and they live hapilly ever after. Juck! :)
The Irish scenery is stunning and the rural countryside is worth the trip on an off the movie screen.
Acording to my girlfriend the movie is 5/5!
