Phone Booth

Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell) is a devious, self-centered public relations man who tries to balance a busy career with both a wife, Kelly (Radha Mitchell), and a mistress, Pamela (Katie Holmes). Stu goes into a phone booth on a busy street in New York to make a call to Pamela without Kelly finding out, but as soon as Stu hangs up, the phone strangely begins to ring. Baffled, Stu picks it up -- and a stranger on the other end (Kiefer Sutherland) tells him that if he hangs up the phone, he will be shot. The red dot of an infrared rifle scope persuades Stu to think that the caller means business, and when another man tries to make his way into the booth, he's shot mere inches from Stu, grabbing the attention of the police. Captain Ramey (Forest Whitaker) instinctively assumes that Stu was the shooter, as Stu struggles to find a way to convince the police of what's going on before more lives are lost, without stepping out of the booth and putting his own life in danger. Colin Farrell played his part to a tee, and was able to deliver an entire scene by himself in one try. An amazing movie that I strongly recommend seeing on DVD.

warrior

Haunted by a anguishing past, ex-Marine Tommy Conlon (Hardy) returns home for the first time in fourteen years to get the help of his father (Nick Nolte) to prepare for SPARTA, the biggest winner-takes-all event in MMA history. A prior wrestling prodigy, Tommy enforces his path toward the championship while his brother, Brendan (Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned teacher, returns to the ring in a desperate attempt to save his family from financial ruin. But when Brendan's unexpected, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the seemingly unstoppable Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other and the forces that separated them, facing off in the most intense, finger biting, and unforgettable climax that must be witnessed to be believed. All in all this was a fantastic movie that I recommend, to anyone that is a fan of fighting and inspirational thrillers, to go see.

50/50

Inspired by a true story 50/50 follows Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in an inspirational story about Friends, love, and at some very unlikely times humor. The two best friends are faced with a deadly challenge, cancer. 50/50 is about a man's transformation, and humorous journey to health. It shows that true devotion does exist, even if not in all scenarios. Definitely a movie to watch if I were to rate it, I would be forced to give it the Bad-Ass seal of approval.
