So today, I went out and do what I usually do (at least it now seems that way) on Friday's, and that's take a trip down to the theaters. This time, I saw Our Idiot Brother and Colombiana. My expectations going into these two movies weren't that high. Having said that, I'll start off with the first movie I saw today.

Our Idiot Brother. The only expectations I did have for this movie, was that the movie would be hilarious. Having said that, the movie had it's moments, and if you've seen the trailer, you pretty much have seen most of the funny parts in the film. This movie, I felt like it had an identity crisis. Sometimes aiming to be funny, and at other times trying to be serious, and in the long look at things, I think it lost itself in between. Do I think this movie was a bad movie? Nope, not close to that. Do I think it was good? In all honesty, it had it's moments, but I feel this movie fell in the just "ok" camp. In terms of comedies this summer, this movie doesn't come close to the ones such as Bad Teacher, Horrible Bosses, The Hangover II, etc. It tried, but like I said, this film suffered an identity crisis.

As for Colombiana. I've only seen the trailer to this film once, maybe twice, and I wanted to see it. I can't really tell you why I wanted to see it, maybe because of the lead actress. I don't really know. Having said that, I think the movie for what it was, was good. Is it good as in the Rise of the Planet of the Apes, or other type of blockbuster movies this summer? Nope, not in the slightest, but for an action flick, it was pretty decent. I rate this one about a 7/10. Maybe a 6.5, and that's only because you don't really connect with Zoe Saladana's character. I don't want to give too much away, but the premise around this, is Zoe's character trying to avenge her parent's death. It's a premise that's been done before in other movies, and has a slight change to it. She's an assassain.

I didn't really feel like going to in depth with these reviews. If you had to decide between these two films, I'd go with Colombiana over Our Idiot Brother. If you had to pick between other movies that have come out earlier this month, I'd still recommend in order: The Help, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and One Day.
