Vantage Point

Vantage Point (2008)

Directed by Pete Travis

Staring: Dennis Quaid, Forest Whitake, Matthew Fox
This movie was awesome! It is the assassination of the United States President from 8 different points of view and the main tag line through the movie is what happens when the United States isn't one step ahead of the enemy (not the best situation, but for a movie it is pretty sweet). Usually we get pretty tired of the same movie plot and being able to guess the ending but with this one we were into the whole time!

Of the 8 points of view the time always starts at the same point. 11:59:58 and moves on from there. The flash backs or the segment from each view is just long enough to give you the idea of who each person is and what they see (any longer and they would have been annoying). There are some serious twists that we didn't see coming which made the movie more entertaining.

This is for sure a 5 star, but a cheese factor of 3.
This would not be a waste of time.

Monsters Vs. Aliens

Monsters Vs. Aliens (2009) was directed by Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon and stars Reese Witherspoon and Rainn Wilson. Earth is about to be invaded by aliens when an unlikely group of monsters come to save the day. This funny family movie is a must see and is appropriate for all ages. I loved it and could watch it again.
