After getting back from spring break in Florida this year I was surprised when I got in the car by a nice little gift from my parents. 2 DVD’s!! What great parents, I mean they come pick me up from the airport and while killing time before they had to come get me they pick me up some DVD’s. Best Buy has been doing a good job marking down their movies pretty quickly and their $5 movie section keeps on growing! Love it! My parents picked up Runaway Jury which stars Nicholas Cage and Just Married which stars Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy.
I think that Runaway Jury is such a great movie. It gives the audience an inside look into how a jury deliberates and the process of going through jury selection. At the same time they introduce the element of Jury for Sale and how one person can influence the thoughts of other jury members. It makes you think do people really do this? Especially on such big cases like the one in the movie; a man was killed by a shooter at his office in the city. His wife then brings the gun company who manufactured the gun to court. Although Cage and his costar have a vendetta they are pursuing throughout the movie they prove to the audience that nothing is impossible and with a simple slide of hand… or persuasive speech people should be willing to hear everyone else. It’s amazing to watch Cage as his character uses his persuasion techniques to influence his fellow jury members while remaining under the radar. Definitely rent this one if you haven’t seen it!
Although I’m not a huge fan of comedies they are always good to have in your movie collection. Just Married is light hearted and a great no thought movie when I’m looking to just relax.
