Eat, Pray, Love (2010)

Starring Julia Roberts, Viola Davis and Javier Bardem. Directed by Ryan Murphy. Based on the book wrote by Elizabeth Gilbert.

A good Drama/Romance feel good movie. A road trip movie meets a self help book, that’s what you can expect of this picture.

The memoir chronicles of Elizabeth Gilbert that takes us on a journey half way across the world to a path of self-discovery. Escaping a bad marriage and bad relationship, Elizabeth discovers the pleasure of food in Italy, how to pray in India and love in Bali.

Julia Roberts does a good job portraying Elizabeth Gilbert.

It’s a good movie, well made, deals a lot with feelings, finding yourself and a lot of people will relate to this subject in some form. This is the kind of movie that will make you think.

I enjoyed the way the transitions from one country to another are made.

If you like this kind of movie or you relate in any way to this theme you should see this picture. However your girlfriend will most likely make you watch it, if you relate or not.

Rating 7/10

From Paris with Love

From Paris with Love (2010)

Starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Directed by Pierre Morel. The screenplay was co-written by Luc Besson.

A good action movie with guns, fights, car chases, explosions, blood, drugs and a few laughs. That´s what you can expect when watching this movie.

James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), personal aide to the U.S. Ambassador in France teams up with Charlie Wax (John Travolta), unconventional American special agent, and together they chase terrorists in the French capital and to say they cause "some" commotion along the way is an understatement.

I enjoyed John Travolta in this movie, in a completely different and surprising new look, funny, good fight scenes, he played a very cool Charlie Wax.

Although still miles away from “Taken” (superb picture), “From Paris with Love” it has its similarities. The same director Rhys Meyers, takes us on a tour of the same city (Paris), from fight scene to fight scene, explosion to explosion with a few nice twists on the side.
However, in my opinion the end could be a bit better.

It’s a good movie that does what is expected of it, entertains you for one hour and thirty two minutes. Worth watching

Rating 7/10
