Film 19: This Means War (2012)

Directed by: McG.

Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Tom Hardy.

My Rating: So/so.

The first thing that came to my mind at the end of this film is: why would you choose Chris Pine over Tom Hardy?!?! That's just personal opinion though. In film terms, it wasn't the greatest either. It's nothing new, it's not pushing boundaries, it's just 90 minutes of pure fantastical escapism. Though, some of the special effects were poor. You could tell it was green screen, and you could even see a stuntmen's face at one point. Oh well. Tom Hardy made it all worth it.

Film 18: Gia (1998)

Directed by: Michael Cristofer.

Starring: Angelina Jolie, Faye Dunaway, Elizabeth Mitchell.

My Rating: So/so.

This is quite well done for a TV movie, but I found some of the editing choices to not be to my personal taste, and it was awfully slow paced. Angelina Jolie was really good though. She kept my interest.
