Fun!
This movie turned out to be very entertaining! The acting was great and the cinematography/effects/ imagery were beautifully done. There is plenty of intense action and cool creatures throughout and the story unfolded well. Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum were great protagonists and worked well together. I highly recommend this sci-fi action thriller to anyone. Really worth a watch!

Should appeal to the same — dare I say it? — demo that “Bad Moms” did, even though it’s not nearly as wild a comedy. “A Bad Moms Christmas” fills a niche, but as this series itself might say, moms deserve better.

I expected more from this film.
I really did.
Starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon with the former as a woman who discovers her ex-boyfriend is a spy and the latter her best friend, this is meant to be a comedy/action film, but rarely delivers on either: I didn't find the (supposed to be) funny bits all that amusing, while the action bits seemed to belong to a different film entirely: one that had a hard R rating, perhaps.

Twisted Swan
Black Swan- is a excellent psychological horror thriller. Darren Aronofsky does a excellent job playing the views minds. Natalie Portman does a excellent job.
The plot: Nina (Natalie Portman) is a ballerina whose passion for the dance rules every facet of her life. When the company's artistic director decides to replace his prima ballerina for their opening production of "Swan Lake," Nina is his first choice. She has competition in newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis) however. While Nina is perfect for the role of the White Swan, Lily personifies the Black Swan. As rivalry between the two dancers transforms into a twisted friendship, Nina's dark side begins to emerge.
Its a excellent film and a must watch.

What Does It Mean To Live One's Truth?
At its core, this film is about the physical and mental unraveling of gifted but mentally unbalanced ballerina Nina. She's poised and modest about her abilities but is easily one of (If not the best) dancers in her prestigious ballet company, which has decided to put on a production of 'Swan Lake' in order to save the company from going under financially. Going in for the first time viewing this masterpiece of modern day cinema, I had no idea the sheer scale of cerebral Horror I was about to witness. From the opening credits of Nina in full costume dancing a portion of 'Swan Lake' against a pitch black backdrop as the hauntingly beautiful score warns of something more sinister going on than meets the eye to the explosive end sequence (Which I won't spoil here), its easily apparent the workings of Nina's psyche is all but broken into a malleable mess of inner desires and heartfelt dreams of success. Mila Kunis is absolutely delicious as laid back and wild child Lily, whose mere presence fascinates and bewilders Nina as her longing for self realization begind to blur the lines of her reality in increasingly terrifying ways. Barbara Hershey gives what I believe is one of the most UNDERRATED and UNAPPRECIATIVED performances of all time as Nina's controlling and often times unbalanced Mother. Easily one of my all time favorite films you will either hate or love, I for one will never get tired of viewing this expertly crafted psychologically charged thriller for years to come and believe you will too!

If you like the leads, you'll like this film
The family was surfing through the "Pay-Per-View" films the other night when we settled on THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME. I knew that this action.comedy came and went pretty quickly this past summer, so I wondered what was wrong with it. But with 2 strong leads in Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon, we decided to give it a try.
And we're glad we did, for THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME is a very fun, very funny action/comedy that delivers the goods with 2 charismatic and very watchable lead actresses.
Kunis stars as Audrey, a waitress who's boyfriend dumps her. Unbeknownst to her, her boyfriend was...any guesses...a spy! And in his things in Audrey's apartment is an item that other spies want to get. Audrey must go on the run with her roommate and best friend, Morgan to escape the "bad guys" and figure out what to do to stay alive while keeping the item safe.
Pretty standard plot set-up, to be sure. But in the hands of 2 comics like Kunis and McKinnon, it rises above average fair. Kunis is winning in her role and is pleasant enough personality to spend 2 hours with. McKinnon, on the other hand, is hilarious. Now, some say that "a little Kate McKinnon goes a long way". I don't agree with that. I find her fascinatingly funny to watch. Ranking right up there with Will Ferrell as a comedian who will go anywhere and do anything for a joke. Joining in on the fun are Jane Curtin and Paul Reiser as the parents of one of the characters. They are a welcome addition to the proceedings.
Writer and Director Susanna Fogel does a nice job of keeping the plot moving and mixes fun action/chase scenes in between the comedy sequences in a formula that works very well, indeed.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed THE SPY WHO DUMPED - and you (and your house guests) will, too.
Letter Grade: B+
