Me Time is a comedy starring Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg as long time buddies who reunite after a few years of not seeing each other to have another adventure together celebrating Hart's character birthday. Wahlberg plays Huck while Hart plays Sonny. Sonny gets depressed knowing that he's a Mr. Mom, stay at home dad, while his wife, played by Regina Hall, is an up and coming architect. As a result, Sonny gets depressed that all he is a super dad who directs school talent shows. This is where Huck comes in, and Huck being the crazy, wild child, they automatically get into trouble and adventure that results in Sonny and Huck destroying things and saving one another from a loan shark.

Overall, I liked it. It had a few funny moments. Wahlberg and Hart worked really well together despite being an odd pairing for a comedy but both guys are pretty good actors. Wahlberg is a very good, underappreciated, actor that can do anything. Hart himself is a good actor as well and very likeable in every film that I've seen him in.

The negative part and this is where my headline comes in. Hart is entering that dangerous Adam Sandler route of lazy movie making with a very glossy comedy, a lot of sex jokes, a celebrity appearance, over the top storyline, zany antics but no real story or heart to their film. Me Time felt like an Adam Sandler film from I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and every film after that. Just a lazy film. And this one was too lazy and zany like a Sandler film and Hart shouldn't be doing these types of films just yet as he is still in his prime as an actor.

Overall, Me Time is a fun flick but won't be a memorable film. Just something to watch and enjoy on a boring day. Also, you just hope Kevin Hart doesn't steer too close to these types of films for awhile.

Saw ads for The Gray Man and didn't know what the heck it was about and was kind of confusing. They mixed their marketing with a watch company which made it incredibly confusing for me.

Anyway to the film itself. The Gray Man is basically just another action movie with no real pulse to it. It's fun. It exciting. Lots of good scenes. Just lacked a story and a heartbeat in a way. I like Ryan Gosling but he felt flat in his role as Six. Chris Evans steals the movie as the main villain and I think the producers should have forced him to take the role of Six and let Gosling be the villain because that would have made more sense after Evans' performance. Other than that, The Gray Man is a fun, well, paced, action film filled with cool shoot outs, car chases, explosions. So, definitely something you can check out on a boring day. I've watched the film several times which for me always means I liked it a lot. The only thing it did lack was a good story, the acting was flat from everyone except Evans.

Overall, The Gray Man was a cool action flick but lacked some heart. Still worth checking.

Spiral was totally fun, scary, film. I didn't have high expectations but my curiosity was definitely there with Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson in the leads for this movie based on the SAW movie franchise.

Spiral was fun, kept me glued the entire time, had good swerves and those swerves paid off at the end. It was a very good film.
