The Proposal stars Sandra Bullock as Margaret Tate and Ryan Reynolds as Andrew Paxton. Margaret Tate, a powerful book editor, faces deportation and forces Andrew, her assistant, into a fake marriage. This movie has the perfect mix of romance and comedy as Maraget meets Andrew’s family. Although the movie is predictable, you will not able to keep your eyes off the screen because it is extremely hilarious. If you have nothing to do in your spare time, I really recommend you watch this romantic comedy!

When local drug dealer, David Clark played by Jason Sudeikis, is robbed of his money and stash, his supplier asks him to smuggle marijuana from Mexico to clear his debt. David decides to form a fake family in order to safely cross the border without suspicion. He teams up with a stripper as a wife, runaway thief as a daughter, and a strange neighborhood boy as a son. When I saw the beginning I thought it would be a boring movie, but it was the complete opposite. The adventures the “Millers� take on as a family are entertaining, while trying to show how complete strangers can become a genuine family who can care for each other.

When two skilled, but complete opposite women in the law enforcement meet, there becomes chaos. Sarah Ashburn, an arrogant and condescending FBI agent, and Shannon Mullins, a foul-mouthed and rebllious police officer, are assigned to work together, the women go through a roller coaster ride as they learn to fight, love, and respect each other. This film will make you laugh as Mullins played by McCarthy throws in witty and humorous ad libs that flow right with the movie. You will not regret watching this absolutely amusing movie!

He is also in a dilemma as he also likes Dominic’s sister, Mia. Watch this movie to see which path he chooses in the end! Paul Walker and Vin Diesel fit their roles prefectly and the script is very nicely written. Everything falls into place with this movie and it even has a series. I strongly suggest you watch this series. Once you watch one, you will end up watching all the movies!

Taken is an action packed movie that is like a oneman show. Bryan Mills, played by Liam Neeson, travles to Europe to find his kidnapped daughter, Kim played by Maggie Grace. Bryan uses his old CIA skills to get his daughter back and hurts anyone who gets in his way. Taken is definitely a movie you will not want to miss. The action scenes will bow you away and it really makes you wonder if there is someone who can be as skilled as Bryan Mills. If you really enjoy action movies, I strongly sugges this action thriller. Bryan Mills takes action to whole new level.

Henry, played by Eric Bana, is a man who has the gene to time travel unwillingly and how he lives his life with his wife, Clare played by Rachel McAdams. The movie is a bit compliacted with all the different time periods Henry goes through, but it is also interesting on how the story goes. It will be somewhat confusing to understand at first, but it is a unique story. It is interesting at how Henry first met Clare when he was already grown up, but Clare was still a young kid and as she grows up, he still stays the same. I find the movie very intriguing and I think you will too!
