Friends Have Benefits!

So in this post I only have one new movie that's in theaters so I decided to add a couple older movies that I've seen quite recently. Don't like it, deal with it! Only joking... hope you like it!

Friends With Benefits: Can boy and girl be "just friends"? Is there such thing as love with no strings attached? See this movie and you will have the answers. Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis light it up as the  two friends/lovers/coworkers that take on the challenge of sex with "no consequences" in this very romantic comedy. Reminding the viewer a lot of Kutcher and Portman, Timberlake and Kunis take this on-screen relationship to another level with laughs that don't stop and some really tense moments with Shaun White. The chemistry is great between the two stars and sparks fly all through this film. Grade: B+


Bobby: I'm a little late in seeing this with it being 5 years old but it doesn't make it any less awesome. Taking place the day Sen. Bobby Kennedy is assassinated this movie revolves around a large group of people who have no clue who the other is and how they live their lives with the visitation of Kennedy to the Ambassador Hotel on that fateful night. The all-star cast with every one from Anthony Hopkins to Demi Moore is amazing and perfect for making such a historical movie. "Bobby" is a great adaptation to what happened in June 1968 with its Forrest Gump-esque feel and really wins for any history buff. Grade: A-


Donnie Darko: After hearing so much about this movie that's already a decade old I just had to see it and find out all the fuss. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a very troubled young man who has an imaginary friend that takes timing to a new level. Drew Barrymore and Maggie Gyllenhaal lead up the supporting cast in this psychological thriller and the twist ending is phenomenal. Grade: B
