Sweet Home Alabama

Melanie Carmichael has everything -- her own clothing line, friends, and an amazing boyfriend, who happens to be a wealthy politician. She hasn't always had this life, though...born and raised in Alabama, her childhood was very simple and ordinary. She left Alabama in search of a better life, which she found in New York. In the process, however, she buried her past and refused to think about it or tell anyone the truth about herself.

Melanie is forced to dig up her past and revisit it when her honey proposes to her. You see, Melanie is still married -- to the man who got her pregnant in high school, who also happened to be her best friend all throughout her childhood. She has sent him divorce papers many times, but he refused to sign them. So, she must go back down to Alabama and try to convince him to divorce her, all the while hiding what she's doing from her friends in New York.

Melanie runs into trouble when her fiancee's mother (who, incidentally, is also a politician) does some research of her own on Melanie and sees some contradictions and fuzzy areas about her past. She also sees how much she hurt the people she left when she moved to New York and has to make a heartbreaking decision about who she is really in love with -- the man she married in high school or her fiancee.

I love this movie. It's really cute...Jake (Melanie's husband) is super funny and I love all the Alabama accents. It's humorous and definitely a chick flick, and I would definitely recommend it...to girls...

4 stars. There were some continuity mistakes that drove me up the wall.

Stealth

Josh Lucas, Jessica Biel, and Jamie Foxx star in 'Stealth' -- a movie about three young pilots who are the best of the best. Where 400 applied, these three were chosen to take to the sky and defend the US from their cockpits (going Mach 4). They're best friends and know how to work together to get their missions completed one hundred over one hundred.

However, things change when a fourth wingman is added to their team -- an artificially intelligent aircraft that learns how to operate by studying the things they say and do. But, it soon learns too much and goes renegade on the team and starts chosing targets -- like Russia.

So, you see the dilemma.

The three pilots now have to get the renegade aircraft turned around and convince it that what it's doing is wrong, even though it's a machine and has no real comprehension of right and wrong.

I liked this movie. The special effects were really super cool and I really enjoyed the plotline. It gets really intense and it's got a great script. Josh Lucas's eyes were the most amazing shade of blue I've ever seen and even though I know Jessica Biel can do better, I liked her character. I wish Jamie Foxx's character had been better developed, however, and I gotta say, his overall performance is far too short.

It was very unrealistic, though. Some of their mathematical reasoning was way off. I SUCK at math and physics, and even I know some of the things they pulled off would never be possible. Jessica Biel's character survived a fall that would have turned any human into dust. And there were continuity mistakes that made me want to kill whoever was watching continuity during this film's production.

Watch it...you'll see what I mean.

Three and a half stars. It was a little TOO unrealistic for me.
