Battleship - 超級戰艦

Battleship (超級戰艦) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Taylor Kitsch. The supporting cast include Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, and Liam Neeson. The movie is advertised as being based loosely off a popular board game of the same name.

Taylor plays a navy seaman that gets into trouble a lot. But he's such a catch that the admiral's daughter finds him hot. Out on a routine training exercise, they are attacked by aliens. The the reconnaissance crew sent by the aliens crash lands by an island in Hawaii. The navy's ships are there, including Taylors. After some display of ultimate power from the aliens, they settle down and try to phone home. Taylor and what's left of the navy try to stop them.

I saw this movie via both rented blu-ray and on HBO. I had a hard time sitting through the whole thing. Almost none of the main characters appealed to me. I flat out didn't like them. They had heart during the battle as they should, but on their off hours, I don't know. I'd avoid them. Which made avoiding this movie something I wanted to do. But HBO's constant reruns got me. I got through the movie over like a span of a month. Just like its box office take, something you don't really need to watch unless HBO repeats it like crazy again.

Just Go With It - 愛情大臨演

Just Go With It (愛情大臨演) is a 2011 film. The movie stars Adam Sandler, Jennifer Anniston, and Brooklyn Decker. Supporting cast and cameo apparences by Nick Swardson, Nicole Kidman, Dave Matthews, and Dan Patrick.

Adam Sandler plays a plastic surgeon who was extremely hurt on the eve of his wedding 20 years ago. After that, he gets a nose job and finds that wearing a ring let's him get some action and not have to stay committed. Now, a very successful Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, he's rich and living life. However, at a party by the beach, he bumps into Brooklyn Decker as a 2nd grade teacher. But when the awake the next morning, she finds a wedding ring in his pocket. Distraught, she doesn't want to see him again. Adam's office manager is played by Jennifer Anniston and he confides in her with all his life stories. Anniston suggest that he fake a divoce to prove that's he truly wants to be with Decker. They goto Hawaii to make this happen!

The movie was very very very predictable. From the get go, you knew that things were a little off. It is a typical Sandler film. Sandler starts the film off as a jerk with a big heart. A coming of age story unfolds and he realizes what's really important in his life and he gets the girl! Same story all the time. Its just the getting there and with whom that changes from film to film. For this one, it wasn't so bad to see Anniston and Decker square off in bikinis. Nice.
