DVD Collection Update (12)

All the movies I bought recently were movies I haven't seen before. Some relatively new, others just came out. Here they are.

First I got "Don Jon", a movie I wanted to see, but I was the only one. No one in my friend and family circle wanted to join me. And now I'm happy I waited for the DVD, because it's a bit awkward to watch a porn themed film with your brother or best friend. I did love the film, I met my expectations.

I literally bumped into this movie and payed only 3 euros for it. That's practically nothing. In the past I was never a fan of Matthew McConaughey, but I'm starting to like him more and more. It's because his movies get better and he shows me how good of an actor he is. "The Lincoln Lawyer" surprised me, I really enjoyed this film.

I haven't watched "The Descendants" yet, but the day I bought this film, it was also on TV. I decided to wait for the right moment to watch this, but I have high expectations.

Although I'm not into Formula 1 racing, this movie is in my favorites list now. It's an amzing film, with great acting by Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth. And you know how much I love Hemsworth.

The film "Prisoners" is nothing predictable, although it seems in the beginning. It's such a good film ans also on my favorites list now. This movie took my breath away!

100 Movie Challenge 2014 - # 27: The Lincoln Lawyer

Director: Brad Furman
Genre: Drama/ Thriller/ Crime
Runtime: 118 minutes
Year: 2011
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy, John Leguizamo, Josh Lucas, Bob Gunton

Description: Mick Haller (Matthew McConaughey) is a defense lawyer who works out of his Lincoln. When a wealthy realtor (Ryan Phillippe) is accused of assaulting a prostitute, Haller is asked to defend him. The man claims that the woman is trying to get some money out of him. But when Haller looks at the evidence against him, he learns that this case might be linked to an old case of his.

Review: Lawyer Mick Haller works alone and he does that from his luxury Lincoln with driver. He defends the biggest scumbags who are guilty, almost every time. When Mick gets the case of the wealthy realtor Louise Roulet, it’s anything but a walk in the park.
“The Lincoln Lawyer” is the adaptation of the book written by Michael Connelly. I have never been a fan of Matthew McConaughey, but I’m starting to like him a little bit more every day. He was perfectly cast as the slick and macho lawyer, who gets away with almost everything due to his charms.
If you think it’s an average court drama, think again. “The Lincoln Lawyer” has much more in store and has some really good thriller elements. Also the supporting roles of William H. Macy, Marisa Tomei and John Leguizamo where cast very well. Together with McConaughey they make sure this movie never loses its edge and stays exciting.
Although the start looks like it’s going to be predictable, the movie is very solid and I highly enjoyed it.

Rating: 4/ 5
