Horrible Bosses (2011)

 

 

Horrible Bosses is about three horrible bosses (Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell) and three employees (Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis) who vow to kill their bosses for different reasons. It involves murder, car chases, affair, conspiracy, blackmail and revenge. The talented casts are the reason why the movie works. The lively chemistry between Nick, Kurt and Dale are joyful to watch. But the real star is the supporting casts. Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell are superb. The script on the other hand, is very thin. The writers just wanted this movie to be another dirty slapstick comedy with absolutely no purpose. Horrible Bosses is not a horrible film, it has its crazy laugh moments and fun. But it doesn’t live up to the expectation and certainly can’t be consider as a great comedy.

Green Lantern (2011)

 

 

A dying alien named Abin Sur, whose spaceship crashed on Earth, gave the the power ring and battery (lantern) to an individual who was "utterly honest and born without fear" Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) and then he became a member of the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar organization of police overseen by the Guardians of the Universe. Later, Hal Jordan must face Parallax, a super-powerful being who feeds on fear. Ryan Reynolds has tried his best, delivering his usual charming and character to the Silver Age Green Lantern. Peter Sarsgaard gives Hector Hammond a new dimension of villain. But the weak script, poor editing and flaw directing by Martin Campbell are total mayhem. The movie could have been so much better. This is an example of comic book movie that fails to deliver. In our darkest hour, there will be light. But Green Lantern shall escape my sight.
