What kind of Blog is this?

I decided to combine two activities, getting in shape on the elliptical machine (hence the title of the blog) and watching movies on my tablet device. What a perfect world! I am a really big fan of the movies and love all genres. You will see discussions on Sci-Fi, Horror, Historical, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Classics, and so on. Watching a movie instantly makes the hour spent working out simply fly by! I have decided to watch movies that I am interested in and then discuss how I enjoyed the movie. Hard to really call it a review seeing that most of the movies have already been released nationally. I will rate each on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the best). Most of the movies that I discuss will be movies that appear on Cable TV. So if you were hesitant about watching a particular movie, you can utilize my commentary before you sit down and watch.

The Change Up


Meet Dave Lockwood and his best friend Mitch Planko.... two childhood buddies that find themselves wondering if the grass is truly greener.  Dave (Jason Bateman) is a hardworking lawyer who's about to make partner, a loving husband and devoted and hands on dad of three.  His life seems idyllic on the outside but on the inside he just wants a day off from being him.  He is constantly under pressure from work and the struggles of a trying to have a perfect family life.  Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) is your typical non-working actor.  Taking on small bit roles to get by and mixing it up with the ladies.  Very focused on only himself, rather selfishly, Mitch wonders what stability in his life would be like.


By a fluke and in tradition with "Freaky Friday," they have a major shift, each waking up in each other's body.  Truly hilarious to see how they handle each other's livelihood.  This movie is full of laughs, so get ready.


I give it a 7 out of 10.


Next up is "Some Day."
