The Expendables (2010)
About: A team of mercenaries is given the assignment to take out a corrupt military leader and a rogue CIA operative on a Latin American island.
My Thoughts: 60% shooting, 20% explosions, 5% hand to hand combat, 5% knife throwing, 5% plot and 5% romance. It was okay. Needed more plot for me to like it.

Death Defying Acts (2007)
About: A mother and daughter attempt to con Houdini out of the cash prize he offered to anyone able to tell him his mother’s dying words.
My Thoughts: Didn’t find this film predictable which is always a big bonus to me. It’s very rare that I don’t guess the plot near the start so woooh. Although I didn’t realize it had a sad ending. I was in tears D: Loved it though.

The War Bride (2001)
About: Romantic drama set during World War II. After marrying two Canadian servicemen, Lily and Sophie leave London to live in Canada with their new in-laws.

Bridesmaids (2011)
About: Competition between the maid of honor and a bridesmaid, over who is the bride’s best friend, threatens to upend the life of an out-of-work pastry chef.
My Thoughts: Well a bit of a shock intro as it was basically just sex. It didn’t improve much till about an hr in. I pretty much hated the first half but I really enjoyed the first half. Just found sex came up a few too many times for my comfort. Loved Chris O’Dowd in this though, so adorable.

Little does she realize she’s not the only one with romantic troubles, as she, as he, gets in the middle of a series of intermingled love affairs.
My Thoughts: hfjhsdfgjdgh adore it. Probably mainly because I’m a big fan of Channing Tatum and quite like Amanda Bynes. It’s hilarious and just hnnngg the eye candy. Tatum was shirtless/ in a tank top a satisfying amount of times. Have already ordered the DVD :D
