Street Fighter The Legend of Chun Li

This is a movie based on the hi video game Street Fighter. The beginning has a great hook and makes you want to see more of it. The fighting is semi realistic. The only un unrealistic thing is when they are in the air. You cant see ant strings but the motions make it obvious that the actors were attached to one. The movie is a basic monk story. A rich girl who has to leave her life and all her worldy possessions. This makes the movie pretty obvious and leaves me with very little suspense. They do however make one surprise but its not a holy shit surprise its like a wow thats interesting surprise. The audio on this movie was pretty bad. It sounds like voice overs. The movie had nothing to do with the game story though. So if you have played the game and are expecting certain things you will be bummed out. The movie has a good ending though which is impling that there will be more movies to come. This movie needed more action and a better story line. The story line seemed like they made it in 5 minutes.

This movie is confusing in the beginning from all the jumping around in the story but overall its pretty good.

The Sound of Music Live

This is a great remake of the original sound of music. Carrie Underwood does a tremendous job of singing and her acting was ok for a singer . It sticks great to the original movie and is very touching. I would  recommend everyone to see this it is a great family movie.

This is 40

This is 40 is about Pete and Debbie. They are in denial about being old. They try to act younger and deal with their crazy lives. They are very angry in the beginning but by the end they learn to accept their transforming lives. The movie is really funny and is great. I would recomend this movie for a late night Friday night movie.
