In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob – knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

iPod Movie Plot:
Once again, Bella Swan is caught between her addiction to vampire, Edward and her friendship with werewolf, Jacob. Meanwhile the Voultri are forcing Edward to “turn” Bella, Edward is trying to convince Bella to marry him, and Bella is just trying to get some from Edward. There’s now a vampire “war” going on, in which the werewolves and the vampires have to form a truce to overcome. And we start and end the film reading poetry in a field full of poppies. How sweet.
The iPod Movie Bad:
Same Old: Once again, Kristen Stewart is left stressing out and looking worried. Robert Pattison constantly looks like someone is pulling out his fingernails. Lets get something new for the actors to work on! At least in this film Bella seems to have a mind of her own even if she is being completely stupid.
Should Not Be Seen in IMAX: Despite the fact they’re trying to make this film a big spectacle and you would think with all the money/equipment they have it would be, the film does not hold up on an IMAX screen. All the flaws in the production are magnified and during the slower more “romantic scenes’ it’s hard to see past the bad make-up and engage in the story.
Production Errors: Aside from a few sets which left me feeling like I was watching a soap opera and a lack of wide shots, there are a number of scenes with vampires appearing in the light but not sparkling! (I never thought I would be saying this but) this film has a serious lake of sparkling. Stick to the rules you set for yourself! They needed to either re-light some of the scenes, explain something to us or add some damn sparkles!
The Make-Up: Come on guys, this is #3! Get it together! The contacts still look fake, I could see make up on Edwards arm and missing from his ears in extreme close-ups. These problems should not still be happening with the money going into these films. This may be a result of…
The Turn Around: The speed they’re turning these babies around makes them be more about quantity than quality. There’s no time for the little things and unfortunately all the little things really begin to add up in this film.
But I’m guessing that won’t matter for most of you because the good outweighs the bad…
The iPod Movie Good:
Romance: Undeniably hotter than before. This is what the fans want and David Slade delivers. Lots of making out, sexual tension and if the three leads don’t have a Ménage à trois by the end of the saga I’d be damned surprised!
Taylor Lautner: Once again, he keeps evolving from one film to the next and gives us something new to discover. In this film he’s stepped out as a big buff dude, with the cocky attitude to match.
Action: It’s faster, more intense, there’s more story behind it and it’s far for graphic than before. I actually forgot what film I was in for about 10 minutes and got to enjoy some good fight scenes.
The Pure Ridiculousness: With lines like “admit it I’m hotter than you” how can you not point and laugh?! In some of the earlier films the dialogue was just bad, but now it’s so bad it’s good! Or at least entertaining…
Tone: The film is a touch darker while still being targeted towards teenage girls. Nicely done.
iPod Movie Overall:
If you’re a fan of the first two films, this one is definitely a step up and will in no way disappoint. For the rest of you there isn’t anything new or mind-blowing to make it worth seeing for the first time.

The iPod Movie Plot:
The Expendables centers on a team of “guns for hire” who are commissioned to take down a corrupt South American dictator. Instead of going after the native government, they take on a fallen CIA agent (Roberts) who’s gone all Marlon Brando circa Apocalypse Now by becoming a part of the problem he was sent in to solve. These 5 men, each proficient in their own style of killing, whether it be guns, knives, martial arts, or wrestling put their skills to the test when they take on an entire country of brainwashed soldiers.
The iPod Movie Good:
The Action: With The Expendables, the action is what you want and the action is what you get. Within the first 10 minutes you find out just how violent and bloody this movie is going to be. Torsos get blown off with one bullet, heads are decapitated with the single stroke of a knife, and necks are broken and bent with a swift kick to the throat.
The Tone: This movie doesn’t take itself seriously. Stallone set out to make the biggest action homage known to man and he did. It’s nothing more and nothing less. You immediately know what you’re in for.
Jason Statham: A lot of people love Jason Statham and for years I couldn’t figure it out — until now. Out of this pumped up group he sticks out because he oozes charisma. When he’s on screen you can’t take your eyes off of him. His character is an amazing knife thrower, who doesn’t just stab people to death, he slices their face, kicks them in the stomach, and shoots them in the leg all in the time span of 3 seconds. He’s that damn good!
Eric Roberts: As the villain, Roberts embodied everything you love and hate about villains in action movies. He fit every cliche known to man. He was the white, power hungry American who came in to a foreign country to take over their drug trade. Not only that but he had the slicked back hair, the styling suit, and a ruthless bodyguard (Austin) to fight his battles. Despite all that he was entertaining to watch and had some of the wittiest and hilarious lines in the movie, which he delivered with finesse.
The Humor: There were so many intentional and unintentional funny moments in this film. A lot of times the script would try to give us something dramatic but the set up or the wording would be so ridiculous that you’d have no choice but to laugh. That goes back to the idea of the film not taking itself too seriously. There are many underlying puns that take jabs at the stars long running careers especially in the scene with Bruce Willis, Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, they’re a regular Three Stooges!
The iPod Movie Bad:
The Special Effects: Even though The Expendables had a great cast, it wasn’t produced on a huge budget. The lack of money can be seen every time an explosion happens or someone gets shot or stabbed (which happens a lot). The blood looks cartoonish and some of the scenes that involved fire didn’t look believable.
iPod Movie Overall:
The Expendables is hardcore. When you leave the theater you have no idea what you just saw but you want to see more. Not only would I recommend seeing this movie once, you should see it twice. It’s pure nostalgia for the eighties action fan. You know the acting is going to suck, you know the story is going to be non-existent, but you also know that people are gonna get their asses kicked 7 ways from Sunday!

Actor: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, Samuel L. Jackson, Clark Gregg and Jon Favreau
Music: John Debney
Cinematographer: Matthew Libatique
The PSP Movie Good:
RDJ as Iron Man: I think we’ve already covered this a million times. The man is genius and he’s perfect for the role. Done!
Sam Rockwell: As always, one of the most under-rated actors of all times puts in another impressive, scene stealing performance. And despite his absence from the poster his scenes with Mickey Rourke were by far some of the best scenes in the film.
Comedy: Yet again, Favreau mixes wit with action giving the intelligent folk in the audience something to chew while things blow up. Although I feel like there was a bit less humor than the first film, it was still strongly present and effective.
Mickey Rourke: This role was made for Rourke, Ivan is tough, barely speaks unless he has something great to say, he intimidates everyone around him, he lets no one tell him what to do, and he has a lot of evil smirks — Favreau just had to take the risk of working with him. But since Favreau seems to like come-back kids it’s not big surprise that he’s in the film and that he does a brilliant job. From the way he delivers his lines to his maniacal chuckle, hes subtle, powerful and extremely fun to watch.
Visuals: Although the fight scenes are sparce, they’re extremely well done, especially Rourke’s first fight scene with Downey Jr. Overall, some really impressive action with some amazing visual effects. I love how this film proves that you don’t need 3-D in order to be pulled into a film.
The PSP Movie Bad:
The Techie Side: As much the techie stuff is fun and very much a part of Iron Man, there were far to many “and back to the workshop!” scenes/montages. We spend about 60% of the film building things, 30% talking about the things being built, and 10% using said products. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I kind of wanted more action and a bit less build up.
The PSP Movie Upsetting:
Accents: It would have made for a far more intelligent and interesting ending if Scarlett Johansson would have gone for the Russian accent. I’m still not sure why she didn’t? But at the end, when she and Ivan face off, they need to both be Russian for it to have the full effect!
The Story: It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t the brilliant show stopper that the first film was. It lagged in some parts and overall was good, but not great.
PSP Movie Overall:
There’s nothing bad about this film. It’s a good film, but it’s almost impossible to live up to the surprise and shock of the first film. It’s hard to really fault it because there is nothing wrong with it. As I keep saying, it’s good! But I think we all wanted to feel the way we felt after walking out of the first film and sadly that just doesn’t happen.

This week the Bora Bora comedy, Couples Retreat with Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Malin Akerman, Kristin Davis, Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, Faizon Love and Kali Hawk hits theaters. With so many comedians all jam packed into one film, I’m sure you’re all looking forward to seeing your favorite actor strut their stuff in a laugh out loud comedy. Sadly, it’s not that movie. This is definitely a film that was more fun to shoot than it was to watch.
Check out the review below…

Director: Peter Billingsley
Writers: Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, and Dana Fox
Cast: Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman, Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis, Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell, Faizon Love and Kali Hawk, with Jean Reno and Peter Serafinowicz
The iPod Movie Plot:
One couple, obsessed with organization decides to call it quits, but not before giving it one last go at a “couple retreat.” The problem is, they can only afford the group rate. With a promise that it will be nothing from Pina Coladas and jet skis, even the reluctant couples decide to take the journey and all four couples set out to save or improve their relationships. They quickly realize that participation in the resort’s therapy sessions is not optional and at times can be dangerous. Let the comedy ensue!
The iPod Movie Good:
The Setting: They’re in Bora Bora… cool.
Jon Favreau: He played the only role that stood out in the film. One could argue that his character didn’t even fit into this movie, and I would say that’s a good thing. He seemed to be the only one having fun with his character not just the setting. He took some risks and his improv is as good as ever.
Good Times: The film looked like it was a blast to shot! Couple that with a great cast of friends and I’m sure they had a lot of fun, sadly the the result was anything but fun…
The iPod Movie Bad:
The Plot: Everything about the film seemed forced. Getting them too the Island takes so much unnecessary time. Why not just have four couples who are all in need of a break and then cut to Bora Bora? Do we really need to drag it out for twenty minutes? We all know they’re going! And once there, do they HAVE to all come together at the same time with cheesy monologues that seemingly take 10 hours?
The Dialogue: The words “forced,” “contrived,” “disingenuous,” and “unnecessary” all come to mind when I think about some of the dialogue in this film. Thank god there were a few moments where we got to see Faverau and Vaughn’s good old witty improv routine because if not for that, there really wasn’t much there. Although if you really want to see them at their height, so rent Swingers.
Cheap Gags: I guess when you have nothing strong, you rely on penis jokes and PG-13 nudity. Neither of which were done well enough to work. They weren’t enough obscenities to get a Bruno or Hangover gasp and yet there were some scenes that were just over the top and far to long. A guy in a speedo is funny for about 30 seconds, not 5 minutes. They ended up with a very toned down feel, which made this a very middle of the road comedy. At times it almost felt as if they weren’t able to get out of the box so they were trying to pry it open.
Covering all the Characters: They seemed to concerned with making sure each character had a full dramatic art that the pacing of the film dragged on. Going back to the penis joke, couldn’t just ONE couple have that problem? Do we really have to see it with all four of them equally? EVERY time with EVERY joke?
The Ending: Where the hell did his wife show up from? “Oh, I heard that you were going to an Island at the saloon so I spent thousands of dollars and hung out with a bunch of kids in a bikini for 4 days until you found your way over.” WHAT?!? Come on, I’m one for letting things go for “movie magic” but that’s just plan old stupid.
iPod Movie Overall:
I get that this wasn’t meant to be the best movie of the year, but it wasn’t even fun to watch. I’m so glad they had a fun time shooting it, but it’s not fun for the audience. That being said, there were people in the theater laughing, so maybe it’s just me! Just make sure you have a few strong drinks before going in and I’m sure it won’t be too bad.

The Dialogue: The words “forced,” “contrived,” “disingenuous,” and “unnecessary” all come to mind when I think about some of the dialogue in this film. Thank god there were a few moments where we got to see Faverau and Vaughn’s good old witty improv routine because if not for that, there really wasn’t much there. Although if you really want to see them at their height, so rent Swingers.
Cheap Gags: I guess when you have nothing strong, you rely on penis jokes and PG-13 nudity. Neither of which were done well enough to work. They weren’t enough obscenities to get a Bruno or Hangover gasp and yet there were some scenes that were just over the top and far to long. A guy in a speedo is funny for about 30 seconds, not 5 minutes. They ended up with a very toned down feel, which made this a very middle of the road comedy. At times it almost felt as if they weren’t able to get out of the box so they were trying to pry it open.
Covering all the Characters: They seemed to concerned with making sure each character had a full dramatic art that the pacing of the film dragged on. Going back to the penis joke, couldn’t just ONE couple have that problem? Do we really have to see it with all four of them equally? EVERY time with EVERY joke?
The Ending: Where the hell did his wife show up from? “Oh, I heard that you were going to an Island at the saloon so I spent thousands of dollars and hung out with a bunch of kids in a bikini for 4 days until you found your way over.” WHAT?!? Come on, I’m one for letting things go for “movie magic” but that’s just plan old stupid.
Zune Movie Overall:
I get that this wasn’t meant to be the best movie of the year, but it wasn’t even fun to watch. I’m so glad they had a fun time shooting it, but it’s not fun for the audience. That being said, there were people in the theater laughing, so maybe it’s just me! Just make sure you have a few strong drinks before going in and I’m sure it won’t be too bad.
iPod Movie Consensus: Despite a solid cast and intermittent thrills, Legion suffers from a curiously languid pace, confused plot, and an excess of dialogue.
iPod Movie Rated: R for strong bloody violence, and language.
iPod Movie Starring: Paul Bettany, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton, Dennis Quaid, Jon Tenney, Django Marsh

Legion is the latest post-apocalyptic film to hit the market, and it stars Paul Bettany in an unconventional yet angelic role. The movie marks the first major release for writer/director Scott Stewart, who’s been on the visual effects side of filmmaking for years, but is now working on bringing his own projects to life. Legion is a Christian-themed movie, with a splash of zombie-horror, Western ideals, and a whole lot of action.

Writers: Peter Schink and Scott Stewart
Cast: Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Doug Jones, Kate Walsh
Cinematography: John Lindley

The iPod Movie Plot:
When God grows tired of humans and their disobedience, he sends the Archangel Michael (Bettany) to wipe them off the face of the earth. More specifically he needs to kill the one child that can stop God’s wrath and save mankind. The only problem is that child hasn’t been born yet, and the mother is a waitress at a small diner in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Michael defies God’s Will and decides to save the child, which turns the restaurant into a war zone between heaven and earth. He will have to combat an entire legion of angels led by the heavily favored, Gabriel.
The iPod Movie Good:
Entertaining: The film has plenty of action but it wasn’t filled with over the top gore. There was a decent amount of entertainment value within the characters and their interactions with one another outside of the violence.
The Dumb Moments: There is nothing more annoying than watching a girl run out into a sea of zombies only to meet her maker. The writers did a pretty good job of integrating the characters dumb actions with the story. Although it was clearly to create conflict, the purpose played out very well.
The iPod Movie Bad:
You Got The Guns Where?: Paul Bettany starts the movie on a mission to get guns, so he walks into a closed store and grabs a bunch. How does he know that this particular place has the goods? Who knows? It seemed like the shop owner wasn’t even aware that there was enough ammo to arm a small militia in the back room. Check that off things to explain to the audience.
The Acting: There were moments, flashes even, where the acting of the two main characters, Charlie and Jeep (Black), was some of the worse I’d ever seen. And even the ridiculously talented Charles S. Dutton found himself muttering in a bad southern accent.
The Names: This may be a little nit-picky, but the name Jeep is lame. Obviously the writers were trying to get creative, but that one was just a little too much. Every time the waitress Charlie screamed his name it sounded like, “Cheep! Cheep! Cheeeep!”
Defies Logic: Without giving too much away there are several issues with Charlie and all things related to her baby. First of all, a woman that is eight months pregnant will not be as agile as she is. Two, she smokes (enough said). Three, she has the superhuman ability of giving birth in a minute. Apparently, the key to easy childbirth is Paul Bettany coaxing you along. Finally, not only can she pop that thing out like a torpedo, but she is up and running around just minutes after without any sort of medical care or anesthesia. One can only suspend belief up to a certain point.
Miscasting: This problem is very closely related to the bad acting. A few of the casting choices were not as good as they could have been. Kate Walsh was irritating and not nearly old enough to have a teenage daughter. There were a few issues with Dennis Quaid as well, which is unfortunate considering his acting background.
iPod Movie Overall:
Surprisingly, this movie was actually enjoyable, and is a good popcorn flick to see over the weekend. The plot and parts of the film are certainly flawed, but all in all it was still entertaining, and that’s what you’re paying for.
