Due Date

5 stars

Due date was a hilarious movie to watch with your friends.  Perter Highman (Robert Downey) is in Atlanta on business.  He’s trying to get home to Los Angeles on time for the birth of his first child.  However, he gets kicked off the plane by accidentally switching bags with Ethan Tremblay (Zach Galifianakis) because drugs were found in Peters bag.  Peter now is going on a road trip because he is on a no fly list.  Lets just say Ethan, Peter and Sunny, (the dog) had a crazy journey and will be talking about this journey for a long time.  The acting in this movie was great because the movie would have everybody in the theatre laughing through out the movie.  Due date did have its sad moments at times, but it gave a warm feeling to the movie.  Due date can make a horrible day go away in an instant.  My favorite parts of the film were when Ethan and Peter were getting high on there way back to Los Angeles and there having a great time.  That is until they drive up to the border of Mexico and everything goes horrible from there.  Ethan ran away and Peter had to talk to the officers inside this building on wheels.  Ethan attached this building to the officers truck and drove away very fast, being chased by tons of cops.  I was laughing so hard at this part, my stomach was hurting.  The worst part was when Ethan got so excited about almost being back that he puked all over Peter.  If you want to see a funny comedy, this would be the movie to go see!

Paranormal Activity 2

5 stars

Instead of beginning where the first film left off, we start several months earlier.  We are introduced to a family that is bringing home an infant named Hunter for the first time.  Their home got destroyed a few days later but nothing valuable was missing or stolen.  Daniel, (Brian Boland) and Christe, ( Sprague Grayden) hired experts to install security cameras throughout the house to keep an eye on events.  Bizarre events start to happen at night, but the family tries to keep their sanity together.  Christe and Daniel went out one night and left their daughter Ali, (Molly Ephraim) to babysit Hunter till they get back.  A few hours went by and this “bang” sound happened outside the front door while Ali is walking up the stairs.  She went to go check to see what it was or who it was.  As she steps outside to check it out, the door slams behind her and locks her out.  That part of the movie was freaky.  One of my favorite parts is when Christe is sitting in the kitchen reading something and you hear this loud sound.  The cabinets all slammed open at the same time.  It was crazy.  The family had a German shepherd that protected them.  This night was scary because somehow it looked like someone shoved the dog into something and the dog was really hurt.  So, Ali and Daniel took there dog to the hospital, leaving Christe all by herself in that house.  When Christe went to check on Hunter, she was dragged halfway down the stairs, but she got away from whatever it was.  When she made it to the top again, she got dragged down the stairs to the basement and the door slammed shut behind her.  To find out what happens at the end, you’ve got to watch this paranormal movie.  This movie gives you the midnight willies.
