I Hate Valentine's Day
PG-13
I Hate Valentine's Day is a movie about a lonely woman falls in love on the day she dreads the most and experiences all the elements of a relationship, from chance meeting through divorce, within the space of a single February 14th. What can I say, if the movie's name is I Hate Valentine's Day, well I hate I hate Valentine's Day. This is by far the corniest movie I ever seen in my life. Maybe women will enjoy all the chessy situations the leading character has and experience throughout the movie, but men like me will get bored from the very first minute of the movie. It is supposed to be a romantic comedy but there was no humor at any moment. Nia Vardalos has the leading role, I don't what but she has something in her personality that really annoys me,besides that her character is already annoying too. John Corbett dod a decent job. In conclusion, I Hate Valentine's Day was a completely wast of time and money. A movie not worthy to see and if you still want to, well you better wait for it on dvd.
The Ugly Truth
R
The Ugly Truth is a entertaining romantic comedy about Abby Richter, a romantically challenged morning show producer whose search for Mr. Perfect has left her hopelessly single. She's in for a rude awakening when her bosses team her with Mike Chadway, a hardcore TV personality who promises to spill the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick. Although I think the movie is a little predictable and with some corny moments, it is also very enjoyable and funny. The cast is formed by Gerard Butler (300) and Katherine Heigl (27 Dresses) in the leading roles. Heigl is like in her previous movies very good, she is made for this type of movies and Butler is a real suprise, he did excellent in his very first romantic comedy. In conclusion, The Ugly Truth is a very enjoyable comedy for men and women.

The Dark Knight
PG-13
Uhmmm how do I start. This latest Batman movie is everything a Batman fan wants to watch in a movie. But it isn't the typical superhero movie, it's a dark drama and a mind blowing thriller that will leave you breathless. The film is great, its exciting, spectacular, full of action and adventure, suspense and mystery to the fullest and some nice black humor in selected moments, it will keep on the edge of your seat the whole time. The story is excellent, it is one of the best adaptations from a comic book, of course with some changes but only for the benefit of the movie. The plot is very well developed, Batman and Gordon find alliance with a newly appointed DA Harvey Dent to stop a vicious killer with a warped sense of humor known only as The Joker, a threat to both the good, and the evil of Gotham City but some circumstances will change everything. The cast is one of the best ones in a move, Christian Bale is very good as Batman, he is a great actor and confirms that is one of the Best Batman's ever. Heath Ledger steals the show, his performance is flawless, you really can see a demented person whose only joy is to kill and create chaos, with this role, his final one, he stops being a great actor to become one of the greatest. Aaron Eckhart has a superb performance as Harvey Dent/Two Face, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman as great actors, their performances were really convincing and maybe the weakest one in her acting was Maggie Gyllenhaal but still very good and decent. Well my conclusion is that The Dark Knight is the best movie of the summer, the best Batman movie maybe just behind Tim Burton's Batman and a movie that will be remembered for a very long time.
