Movie Reviews: Playing for Keeps

      I recently went to the theater to see Playing for Keeps and I was completely disappointed. When I went in, I was expecting a really good romantic family film. The story had promise in the teasers but after watching the film I think the teaser was the best thing about the movie. If you watch the teaser you will know what's going to happen in the movie. The whole 2 hour movie was far too long and could've been told in less than an hour. It was completely drawn out and predictable. I thought with all of the big name stars in the movie it would be really good but it left me wondering why so many stars lowered themselves for such a terrible movie. My advice, wait to watch it until it is in the $5 bin at Walmart and don't worry because it won't be long until it's there.
      In other movie news, the Hobbit came out at midnight. So far I've heard it's good so I might go watch it tonight. Also, Les Miserables comes out on Christmas and no other movie has had me so excited (since The Avengers). I loved the book in high school and I actually have the Liam Neeson version of it so I am really excited about watching a version where they were filming live action singing.
      The final movie I am excited about (for now at least) is Promised Land. I worked security for the hydrolic fracking gas companies. I know a little about the process and from working with the companies I realized that I actually know more than the general public knows about the process. I worked for Shell and I know that they are one of the better companies who use a plethora of safety precautions to make sure safety is the number one priority. That being said, I think there are a lot of other companies who are only out for the money which is why spills and contaminations happen. If I were a landowner, I highly recommend doing research on the company wanting to lease the land; some are good but others are really bad.
