Aquaman - 水行俠



Aquaman (水行俠) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Jason Momoa and Amber Heard, reprising their roles from Justice League (正義聯盟). The supporting cast include Randall Park, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Temuera Morrison, and Nicole Kidman. This is the sixth film of the DC extended universe. This film is directed by James Wan



The different kingdoms of the underwater world have long stayed hidden from the surface world. However, with mounting discontent, two kingdoms seek to unify them all for an all out attack on the surface world. But many do not and seek the help of the now famous Aquaman. When mounting disasters caused by huge tidal waves hit the shores of the world hard, Arthur, the Aquaman, makes a trip to Atlantis to see what he can do. Arthur needs to find the original trident and take over the throne to stop the war. Can the Aquaman live up to expectations of him in order to save the world?

I like this movie a lot. It was a fun watch. BUT you do need to put your realistic hat away and just go with it. It IS a super hero movie and you should set your expectations so forth. The underwater realm was realistic and I like how it was easy to tell between land and sea. The acting was what you expect. James Wan's makes improvements to his action repertoire after his first turn with Furious 7. It's Wan's world and we're just living in it.

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.
