Life as we know it prety good for a chick flick.



I know you guys are porbably thinking "Trav you're supposed to be doing reviews on guy stuff, what is up with these chick flicks?" Well, I am a married guy, so I get to be slammed with one romantic comedy after another until the kid falls asleep or I get off work early enough to through on "Sin City" or some John Wayne flick. now my wife isn't too bad though, she likes the action flicks also but she is a woman therefore I will endure my share of "chick flicks."

This way I can tell you guys, that you might like this movie, thus giving you and your woman both a flick you will enjoy.

Life as we know it is a fairly funny, romanctic comedy about two people who don't really care for eachother, but they have mutual friend who are married so they need to coexist. What happens is, the mutuall friends get in a car reck and leave their baby with Katherine Heigl, and Josh Duhamel.

The funny parts are all in relation the baby, the usual barfing in the face, pooping in the guys favorite ball cap, etc...

For the ladies out there, there is plenty of tear jerker stuff like, the friends dying, Josh leaving the family to take a job out of state, Josh comming back and realizing how much he loves her and the baby. I also though it was funny when the social worker "just happened" to show up when they had cooked "special" brownies.

Ladies and gentlemen alike, you will definatly enjoy "Life as we know it" as it is a definate success.

A Perfect Getaway. Four stars!! Just a good action flick!!



This movie was supposed to be one of those flicks with a crazy twist at the end. That it did but it wasn't exactly up there with The Sixth Sense. If you pay a Little attention you can figure out that the couple (Mila Jovovich and Steve Zahn) are not the people who they say they are and the moment I saw Steve light a butane burner I knew he was gonna cook some drug cause I have been to Hawaii and I couldn't figure why he was lighting it, I never did anything there that would need that type of burner.

The reason why I like this movie so much is for one, the local, Hawaii is so beautiful I was crying having to come back to Vegas (I am man enough to say I cried). I also liked it cause I am the type of guy that when I go places I kind of day dream about some extreme thing happening like serial killers stalking me as displayed in this movie. Of course in my dreams I save the day and everything goes well, same as Timothy Olyphant's character in this movie.

O.K. ow that you are totally confused let me tell a bit of the story. Steve and Mila are a couple on their honeymoon going on a hiking trip to a beautiful beach. Along the way they hear about news articles talking about some serial killing couple that has gone to their island. While hiking they run into Tim, decide to follow him as he seems savvy and can protect them from some people they pissed off on their drive to the trail head.

Next thing they know it Tim (who is an ex special forces guy) and his girlfriend seems really creepy (spoiler alert)and you think they may be the killers. But of course at the end it is found that Mila and Steve are the killers and they have Tim as their next target, the whole time they where playing the sheep and where the wolves.

This is where it gets good, Tim and his girlfriend slice and dice and fight to the bone and they save the day!!! Woo hoo, keep in mind though this movie is for entertainment not enlightenment or any awe factor just a good action flick!!
