I had a mixed reaction to the film. It reminded me of two movies, The Player and The Watch. I felt like I was watching two movies here. One about the actors spoofing and poking fun of themselves and the second about the end of the world. Honestly, these 2 parts didn't go well together. I loved the part of the film were the actors spoof and make fun of themselves. I would have preferred to watch an entire film based on that part. The end of the world story line didn't work well here. It felt like they copied Zombieland, The Exorcist, and Ghostbusters. The demon dog looked like he came from the first Ghostbusters film.
It felt like the entire film was improved. It felt like there was no script, just an outline. I loved the celeb cameos.

After Earth (2013)

The film wasn't as bad as every one is saying. I was expecting it to be much worse. I give M. Night Shyamalan credit. I thought he did a good job here. This was better than his last couple of films that he directed. The pacing was off. At times it was a little slow. They needed a rewrite. I think they should have had more backstory to Will's character and more about this future.
Will is actually good in the film. However, his character is a supporting role. It is his son which is the lead character of the film. I thought Jaden was ok for the scenes that he did on Earth. However, I thought he wasn't good as the character in the beginning of the film. I honestly think that it would have been better had they cast some one else in Jaden's role. Will and Jaden were great together on screen in The Pursuit of Happyness. Zoe Kravitz is great in her supporting role. I would have loved to see more scenes with her in it.
Overall, I will say check it out. The special effects are also good.

I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor's performances makes this film worth watching. This film and Pain and Gain are similar in that they are based on true stories that seem unbelievable that they happened. The problem with this story was that I felt that the style and structure of the film is off. It is a bit unfocused at times. The tone is also off, going from comedy to drama to comedy. I think Steven Soderbergh or Michel Goddrey could have done a better directing job. I thought the film Behind the Candlelabre was better than this one. I thought this film was better than Pain and Gain though. In a weird way, the film reminded me of The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Jim Carrey is amazing as Steve Russell. At times you are laughing with him and at times he makes you cry. He does an amazing acting job here. Ewan McGregor does a good job too. They have a great on screen chemistry together.
I would say, that the film is worth checking out for Carrey and McGregor's performances.

The film was a big disappointment. They had a great idea for a film but didn't execute it correctly. It needed a major re-write. The film reminded me of other films like Panic Room, Vacancy, Funny Games, and The Hunger Games. Only those films were much better than this one. Also some scenes in this film feel like they copied scenes from Panic Room or Vacancy. One major problem that I had, was that the characters weren't fully developed. Because of that, I didn't care if any of the family members get hurt or die. The film was also predictable. Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey do what they can given the material that they have to work with. Overall, I was disappointed.
