BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
Turk (Robert De Niro) and Rooster (Al Pacino) were long time partners as homicide detective. For almost 20 years in the service, they treated each other as brothers. But their territory has been invaded by a series of killings. And the evidence says: "IT'S A DIRTY POLICE WORK".

PLOT
Turk and Rooster have been in the department for a long time. They are one of the veteran homicide investigators in town. They see a lot of cases in their whole police life, but sometimes they get emotionally connected with it. The duo has been following the cases of some of their previous suspects. But when some of them were acquitted by the court due to the following reasons: lack of evidence, bribery, influence, harassment or whatsoever. The serial killings started. Their target: ACQUITTED CRIMINALS.

One by one, every known guilty criminal who has been acquitted were summarily executed using a caliber 45 pistol with silencer. No forced entry, no robbery on the scene.

Turk and Rooster started their investigation regarding the series of killings with the help of CSI operative Karen Corelli (Carla Gugino). Evidences were now ready and the direction is pointing to a : POLICE OFFICER.

Their in-depth investigation will go deeper in the system of street justice, obsession and murder.

IMPRESSIONS:
Positive:Righteous Kill is top billed by two of Hollywood's Greatest Actors of our time, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. I saw the trailer and I love it.

Negative:But when I watch the movie, I was frustrated that the storyline is not what I have been expected. Almost from the start I can guess who will be the final suspect is, and I was right. Storyline goes this way: There's a serial killer on the loose. Killing suspects that have been previously acquitted of their crimes due to lack of merits, influence or money.

The writer failed to add some spice to the movie. They also failed to add other possible suspects to make more twist on the story. There is no problem with the actors, they performed well and they give their best. I was expecting to have a storyline like "The Heat" but to my dismay, Righteous Kill is a worse movie. If it is not with De Niro and Pacino, i would not watch this.

The cast is very good in their performances especially Brosnan and Streep, and here's some of my favorite scenes in the movie:
1. Scene where the all boys group singing, jumping and hopping with their flippers.

3. Scene where all the girls in the island joined Streep and her friends in singing and dancing.(Dancing Queen)

MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND

STARRING:
Uma Thurman - Jenny Johnson / G-Girl
Luke Wilson - Matthew "Matt" Saunders
Rainn Wilson - Vaughn Haige
Anna Faris - Hannah Lewis
Eddie Izzard - Barry Edward Lambert / Professor Bedlam

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Luke Wilson stars as Matt Saunders, an unlucky guy when it comes with women after being turned down fro a date by his office mate and his crush Hannah Lewis (Anna Faris). He met Jenny Johnson played by Uma Thurman in a train ride by the help of his best friend Vaughn Haige (Rainn Wilson). Jenny is also a secret super hero known as G-Girl and an arch enemy of the super villain Prof. Bedlam (Eddie Izzard).

Try picturing this: a not so lucky guy with women plus a neurotic woman plus a superhero plus a hot co-office worker plus an idiot best friend and a not so scary super villain equals a funny and cracker-nut movie.

PLOT
Matt Saunders again suffered another "NO" from his office mate Hannah. Desperate to have a girlfriend, Matt and Vaughn saw a simple and shy woman during their train ride from home. She is Jenny Johnson. An art fanatic and a very mysterious girl. After several days, Matt asked Jenny for a date and she said YES. It is the start of their wild and funny relationship. After several dates Jenny confessed that she and G-Girl are one. Matt's world starts to be more complicated, Jenny/G-Girl is starting to be more selfish regarding their relationship, showing disturbed and neurotic behavior. The situation got worse when Matt decided to end their relationship. G-Girl is now a villain on Matt's life tearing off his ceiling, tossing his car into the outer space, throwing a shark into his condo unit. Matt is now being targeted by the arch enemy of G-Girl, Prof. Bedlam. Bedlam offered Matt a deal to defeat G-Girl. Matt, now terrible fearing for his life with Jenny, accepted and agreed with the evil plans of Prof. Bedlam. An the most amazing fight scene followed. The best "girl fight" I ever saw.

IMPRESSIONS
Positive:
I love the character of Anna Faris, I always like the way she act, especially when she was surprised, her big eyes and blonde hair is perfect for the role. A lot of good scenes in the movie. And here are some of my favorite scenes from the movie:

1. when G-Girl uses her laser eyes to write "dick" in the forehead of Matt.
2. taking all the clothes of matt during a client presentation.
3. G-Girl tossing a great white shark into Matt and Hannah while in bed.
4. Jenny and Matt's 'explosive' bed scene.
5. Jenny and Hannah's superb girl fight.

And my most favorite scene is the sexy scene of G-Girl and Matt hundreds of feet above his roof top. And made an amazing free fall during the climax. Hahahaha! Wow! That would be great!


Negative:
None
