Matt Damon and the 'Adjustment Bureau'


You know him from 'The Bourne' trilogy, 'Oceans 11- 13', 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Good Will Hunting' amongst many others. And now, Matt Damon is in the latest 'The Adjustment Bureau.'

This Romance/ Thriller took a very interesting twist on the typical love story which shows what one man would do for the love of his life. Matt Damon's acting chops shined through in this film. His ability to bring the drama with pure charm was a big success and his British co- star Emily Blunt fit perfectly in the story line.

Can we maximize our full potentials while in relationships?
Are some people only meant to pass through our lives to propel us?
Are we really deserving of free will?
Can we ask God or 'The Chairman' to re- write our destiny?
Are human beings mature enough to take care of ourselves, our loved ones and our planet?

These were all questions that went through my mind as I watched this film and it attempted to answer all the above. If you haven't seen it yet, make sure you do.

Jennife Lopez delivers another cheesy Chick Flick


I must be missing a 'Chick- Chip' because after seeing this movie by Jennifer Lopez I'm starting to question myself, 'Is there something wrong with me?'

In her latest movie 'The Back Up Plan' she plays the roll of a single woman who wants a baby. She decided to go to a sperm bank for artificial insemination and it all spiralled out of control from there. Before she knows it she meets the glistening haired-golden smile-trophy boy and falls for him.

Long story short: She is frightened about what's about to happen, she falls in love and tries to figure out how she's going to tell her new beau.

This movie really started to get underneath my skin when she later found out that she is not only pregnant by a freckled face stranger, she's now expecting TWINS! Yes, two babies, just like in real life.

I'm tired of watching movies that no matter what the story line is, some part of Jennifer's real life has to be in there. When she is not the feisty Latina 'from the Bronx' she is the bootylicious Drama Queen. And in this case, she is preggers with twins like she was two years ago. I can't take this anymore.

Not to mention, there were one too many images for me about babies being born and visiting the doctor during this time.

*View at your own risk

However, I did find the content very interesting as I recently did a post about women and biological clocks and this movie is a testament to a woman's need to have children before time runs out for her.
