Limitless
Relativity Media + 20th Century Fox
2011
What if a magic pill could unleash your hidden capabilities? In this suspense thriller, Bradley Cooper’s character takes the ultimate leap towards uncharted territory. Finding out just what he got into is another story. Untapped abilities, memories, and what makes us human is the core part of the story.
Taking on various obstacles, this gift may just be a hidden curse.
Well directed, this is a rare piece of filmmaking (including an unrated version of the film). Its well worth watching the extended version, exploring all sorts of territory that would push rating monkeys. In addition it is a smart film, with action, suspense, and a bit of thrills. Being far more than just a thinking high-octane title, its more of a challenge that Brad’s character faces choices he never thought possible.
Plus there are hidden surprises, given a certain icon plays a signature role many would not expect. Even more interesting is how topical the dialog constantly flows. Even in a calm moment, everything could change in an instant.
Definitely worth watching on a weekend

Nim’s Island
Walden Media + 20th Century Fox
2009
Adventure is everywhere, from a book to living on an uncharted island. Enter Alex, a classic hero that beats all the odds and explores various locales, braving danger and death at every turn. But wait! Real,or made up? Nim and her dad live on an island, surviving on their environment and learning something new about their home. Until Nim’s dad goes on an expedition to find a piece of nature yet to be uncovered. Thankfully Alex is here to save the.. wait oh that’s giving too much away.
A fun family film that is pretty much for every age. Mixing solid humor, with a bit of fun. But there’s more to this tale than being a humble film. There’s a heart beating, and its waiting to find new things to explore. Well worth watching.
Starring the classic Jodie Foster (as Alex), brave Gerard Butler (Jack), and Abigail Bresden (Nim)
Its amazing how these three makes this tale come to life. Jodie is timeless and pretty creative as Alex, but I won’t give away just what her role is. Gerard plays Nim’s father, an oceanographer finding all sorts of unique mysteries. I think its unique to see him playing a different type of character, other than the novel action type. **humbled he really can be a diverse fellow, well done! And Abby is something else, for a kid, wow talented star!
Btw this film is based on a best selling novel. So be sure to check it out. Oh and there is a sequel too!
Review for next time!

Alvin and the Chipmunks
(+ The Squeakquel!)
2007 + 2009
Fox 2000 + 20th Century Fox
Awhile back there was an inspirational tale of three brothers, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Together these three formed a singing trio, along with their producer / dad Dave Seville. As a family, they learned the ups and downs of stardom, and having fun too.
The first film explores their origin tale, from losing their old home, and gaining a new one. With Dave being out of luck snagging a job as a music producer, with help from the 3 he finds a project to shape music forever. But they get taken by the spotlight as Dave’s old rival takes the boys away. Learning a lesson, the trio learn that Dave is a part of their lives.
**Plus there tons of hidden surprises when you hear who does the voices of the chipmunks + chipettes!
The Squeakquel
Taking place a short time after, the trio has gained back their stardom, only to see Dave injured during a show. Out of commission, Dave entrusts his aunt to take care of them. Until its up to his cousin Toby, whom isn’t known for being a stand up guy. And with a new set of faces enter the scene, the Chipettes!
Battling adolescence, bullying, and a bit of spunk, the brothers along with Toby learn what it means to be family.
Then again, the ex-producer hires the girls to take on the boys! Who’s gonna win!?
*and recently there is a 3rd film, Chipwrecked!
I say the Chipmunks series of films are for any age. (and most of all fun!)
