What Was That Movie? : Matthew McConaughey

Mud

Pay close attention, are you focused in? Great, now the important news. Matthew McConaughey has lost it. I have known this for awhile but kept my opinions to myself, for the most part, because the majority seem to find him incredibly irresistible. Now, while I don't disagree that he is pretty to look at, his acting has been mediocre typically.

This is one of those movies, one of those movies you want to be good but instead, it is just mediocre. The two boys who are in the movie did an amazing job. I don't think it is their fault I didn't love the movie, because I really enjoyed watching them.

I'm honestly not sure what to say about this movie that for the majority you can't get from watching the trailer. I thought the trailer was interesting and that's why I rented the movie, but I felt like I could have taken away the main concepts from just the trailer. I hate that. It is by far one of my biggest pet peeves, I want a trailer to give me just enough that I want to see the movie, but once I see it I don't want to feel like I should have just stuck with the trailer. I'm rambling at this point.

Realistically the only reason I rented this movie was to see Reese Witherspoon because I adore her. This is one film RottenTomatoes.com and I will always disagree on, they rated it very highly, I however would say skip it. My apologies, Reese, I so wanted to like this movie.

The Paperboy

This movie... what do I even say about this movie? Being blunt, the best part about this film is Zac Efron for whatever reason seems to be in his underwear a lot. I'm not sure if Nicole Kidman has anything to be proud about by being in this film. On several occasions I thought Kidman was Lindsay Lohan and not the good Lindsay we fell in love with in Parent Trap.

The ending is horrible. I'm just going to put that out there. Really, the movie as a whole is pretty horrible. It was barely bearable to finish the movie, but I am one of those people that once I start a movie, I have to finish it.

This movie definitely falls under the skip it category, sorry Efron seeing you in your underwear is just not enough.

About

Well hello there! This is my blog about movies. Occasionally, it may be about a TV show, but mostly movies. Almost every day I watch a movie and half the time when I go back and look at the movie I have a hard time remembering if I liked it. So, this is going to be me reviewing movies I watch. I am also doing this because I'd like to see how many movies I see in a year. My family and friends have often asked why I didn't get my degree in film, I always respond that I did not want to take a chance of having something I love be spoiled by school. So far so good. Let's head to the cinema!
