Brother

Brother.
Starring Toby Maguire(Spider-man), Jake Gyllenhaal(Jarhead), & Natalie Portman(Star Wars I-III).

The story line is Maguire, who is a Captain of the U.S. military Marine Corp., who has a wife(Portman), and 2 daughters, with a paroled brother, is called back into the line of duty to the war in Afghanistan while his brother stayed back in his home town, watching over his wife and kids, when he Maguire is reported dead after his chopper was shot down. Thinking he is dead, his family moves on, while Gyllenhaal looks after the grieving family. Predictable as it is, of course Gyllenhaal falls for Portman and they begin to have a love interest. Around Act II of the movie, Maguire is found after being held hostage in Afghan and is sent back home. Being back from a tramatic experience to his suburban home, he suffers from post tramatic syndrome. He thinks Gyllenhaal & Portman are having sexual relations (which they aren't), and freaks out, destroying his newly remodeled kitchen, with a pipe and bare hands. The cops show with guns drawn and it gets intense. The film ends about 5 minutes later with him getting out of the cop station.

This movie, was one the most worst films i have ever seen. It lead up to be very good, but ended sooooo dry, it crashed the whole movie into a fire of emptiness and a refund. The trailer reveals literally 95% if the whole movie. The main points of the movie, the main scenes, &! pretty much the whole damn story line. Spy Kids and a better ending than this movie. So if you wanted to watch the movie, my advice is, watch the 2 minute trailer. It'll save you 2 hours of the whole movie, when the trailer, reviews mostly all the storyline.

Overall, i gave this movie a 4.0/10. I will never want to watch it again, ever. There was one good thing about this movie. Toby Maguire may look like pu**y sh*t, but he sure as hell can act like a beast.

+Beast Toby Maguire
-Horrible, dry ending
-Trailer was more intense than the movie.
-Spy Kids was better.....

Gran Torino

I saw Gran Torino the other day, starring Clint Eastwood and a whole bunch of asian people who cant act. Gran Torino to me seemed like Clint Eastwood missing his days as a badass cowboy back in the 1970's er somethin so he wanted to make some sort of "comeback."
Clint Eastwood's role in this film is about a man who's a Korean war veteran who seems to hate everyone except for those who are extremely close to him. For instance, his dead wife, his dog, and his car. He's also racist to everyone except for whatever race he is. *NO SPOILERS* In the end he resolves his personal and other individuals's problems and gives away his car to a dimwit asian kid next door to him (who which by the way sux at acting). The Gran Torino has a legitimate reason to why the movie is named after it, but seeing by what the movie shows, its the only legit thing the writers could have named it. Otherwise it would have been names like Whitey v.s. Essays/Chinks/Hoodfiga's or Ugly Asians annoy the piss out of old fart.
So overall, i give this movie, a 7.3/10.
+Clint Eastwood is pretty good for a guy who looks like he's about dead.
+Legitimately funny racist jokes
-It should of ended with a badass fight scene.
-Asians sucked at acting.
