The Best Man Holiday

Almost fifteenth years after the first one, Hollywood has released the second installment of the Best Man. Advertised as what seemed like a regular black comedy, this movie caught me off guard by how emotional it made me. It wasn't just a collection of jokes, but a story of true friendship. I laughed, I cried, I was angry, and I was sad. It was an emotional roller-coaster that anyone who loves a good story should watch.

Pros: Everybody was sexy (very important). "Tell me baby, can you stand the rain..." Amazing acting by the whole cast. The house is takes place in. Morris Chestnut and his body. Storyline was perfect. Terrance Howard is amazing.

Cons: I cried and I never cry. (Second movie that had me fooled with holiday in the title.) The rare, but obviously cheesy moments.

The Host (Review)

Thank the Netflix gods! I watched The Host finally after reading it nearly a year ago. They changed everything and I hate when they do that. I lived through it.

Anyways... I liked the movie. I like the way they gave life to the story. The Seekers, Healers, and the Store were better than expected. Although, I will say the main seeker was little to violent for my tastes. (Spoiler: How can she shot people in the head?! Even if by accident.) Diane Kruger is hot tho!



Pros: Amazing kissing scenes. Kuddos to everyone involved.

Cons: Too many changes from the book. I know I'm being picky.
