I have a Netflix account and right now I have the subscription where I get three movies at a time. Also this is a set up for my new category to this blog: movies. I love movies. I love watching movies. I watch a lot of movies. Yes, my queue is alphabetized to a point but at the same time random. Sometimes the movies end up with the some similarities to each other; it could be a story line to the same actors. So to start, I just finished the "L's" recently and here is the first review in "It Comes In Three's . . . Movie Reviews". And there is a rating system. 0 through 3 yawns. 0 is that is was a great movie and I didn't fall asleep to 3 yawns is where I fall asleep through the movie more than one time. I think that says a lot.
Lucky Number Slevin
I give this one yawn. I thought the beginning of it was slow and just too confusing. But when I really payed attention to it, I thought it was a great who done it. It's about . . . not sure how to put it . . . getting even?! What you leave behind may come back to you in a bad way. It stars Bruce Willis and Josh Hartnett also with a cast of other great actors.
The Lucky Ones
I give this 0 yawns. It was a really great movie. It's about 3 soldiers home from the war in Iraq. One has retired after 2 years away from home and is so excited to get back to his family and life. The other two are on 30 day leave recovering from injuries, etc. They come together because their connection flights were all delayed and they all decide to get a rental and drive to the retired guy's home in St. Louis and of course along the way things don't go has planned . . . It shows how soldiers are treated when they come home. Mostly people treated them well, but it shows the other side too, unfortunately. Stars Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams and Micheal Pena.
Lucky You
I give it 0 yawns but it was a o.k. movie. It's about this guy who gambles for a living. So he has to learn some hard lessons and hit the bottom before he realizes that he does have a problem. At times it went into Poker lingo a bit too much, so If you like to play Poker this movie is for you. I always felt that Drew Barrymore is a good actress but it she was weirdly off in this film. Stars Eric Bana, Drew Barrymore and Robert Duvall.
Two of the movies The Lucky Ones and Lucky You had a similarity. Each had a character(s) with the last name of Cheaver although one was spelled Cheever but still similar.
