Max Payne, Nick and Nora's, 88 Minutes

I usually try to use Sundays for getting homework done and being really productive. I’ve become pretty good at being able to turn on a movie, listen to the dialog, and be able to work on other things at the same time. I can tell when I should look up and watch what’s going on but this way I get to watch movies and do work. Yesterday, I decided to rent three movies from Redbox that I had not seen: Max Payne, Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, and 88 Minutes. When I saw the previews for Max Payne I knew instantly that it probably wasn’t a movie I was going to see in theaters. However, the previews for Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist and 88 Minutes caught my interest and I intended to see them in theaters but never had the time.

I was pretty impressed with Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist. I thought the casting was fantastic. Michael Cera plays, Nick a typical goofy awkward teenager starring who by chance meets up with who unbeknown to him is his perfect girl. Nora, played by Kat Dennings, has been in films such as Raise Your Voice and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. The pair is entertaining, awkward, and goofy all at the same time. Check it out it’s a fun watch!

Max Payne, an action film based on the video game that game out in 2001 stars Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. Kunis plays Jackie in the hit television show That 70s Show. The movie has a lot of action and is non stop. It takes some imagination to follow the plot and keep up with Payne on his quest for revenge on his family’s murderers.

88 Minutes starring Al Pacino and numerous other recognizable faces from television and films is an action suspense film following Pacino’s character as his life is threatened with only 88 minutes to live. Overall I liked the movie I just thought that the movie was a bit predictable. Check it out though!
