2Fast2Furious

2Fast2Furious

Who's in it: Paul Walker, Tyrese, Eva Mendes, Cole Hauser

What's it about: Brian(Walker) is back. After being caught on the run, he's dragged into another police investagation. Word on the street is that Carter Verone(Hauser) is selling drugs and about to leave the country for good with all of his money. He races to get a job for Verone with his old friend Roman(Tyrese). With Monica(Mendes) on their side, the duo only have to find the evidence. Verone refuses to go down that easily though. It's up to Brian, Roman, and their street racing friends to put Verone behind bars.

What I Think: I don't think that this was better than the first Fast and Furious. I definitely miss Vin Diesel. I think that him being in the first one really made the movie what it was. Ludacris, who was also in this movie, was great. I think he has alot of talent! Walker was alot more leanient this time and I thought it allowed for him to be more of his character. Tyrese was hilarious! Mendes was alright. There weren't many scenes with her and I guess that really messed with me. The cars were awesome. I also loved the effects that they did. Walker really has the mind of a street racer!

Hitch


Hitch

Who's in it: Will Smith, Eva Mendes, Kevin James, Amber Valletta

What's it about: Hitch(Smith) is always helping the less fortunate men who can never get a woman to stay. He helps them dress, speak, and just act the way 'every' woman wants. But when Albert(James) wants to get together with the lovely and famous Allegra Cole(Valletta), he tries his hardest. He succeeds with major triumph and then he meets Sara(Mendes). Sara is a columnist. She and Hitch go on a few dates until she finds out that Hitch is the 'date doctor'. She rats him out to the whole city through the newspaper and chaos spreads.

What I Think: This movie was a great movie to watch. I enjoyed the hilarious sides of Smith and James. Mendes did an alright job, but I think that she could've put a little bit more into a Will Smith comedy. Even though the movie in itself is labeled as a romantic comedy, the movie wasn't just all fun and love games. There were some serious parts about it that make you think about life.
