The Forger

Rating: 2.5/5

John Travolta is out of jail to live with his ill son before it's too late, but for every favor there is a debt. Cartels don't do favors for free, we've experienced that in a lot of movies. So Travolta has a task of stealing a very important and old painting of Monet to pay his debt. His old man and his son wants to help him do it, so in order to avoid spoiling the movie for you i'm gonna stop here. 
It's actually one of the "that's not bad" movies, not a great one but satisfying enough. Travolta actually, if you avoid looking at the annoying goatee, plays the role neatly and without a glitch, he's the right man for this job. The forger might not be a blockbuster of a movie or a nail bitter thriller, but it will interest you for an hour and a half. 

Exodus: Gods and Kings

Rating: 4/5

Exodus Gods and Kings recites the actions that happened during the rule of the Pharaoh Ramses when Moses, a Hebrew man, is hidden by his sister miriam from the Egyptians upon his birth to save him from getting killed and later found by the Pharaoh's sister who take care of him and the rest is obvious. But one day he is alerted by the Hebrews that he is one of them, and that where it all started. Moses as we all know is the man sent by God himself to liberate his chosen people from the slavery of the Egyptians and get them to Canaan the promise land. 
At first i thought "here we go Ridley Scott is going to make this movie batman in disguise and here he is Christian Bale to take center stage in this." But i was wrong. The beginning of the movie does no justice to what follows. One can think that the story deviates from what was written in the Holy Bible, but as the time passes he discovers that it actually return to the right path in a smooth way. I'm sure at that point no one can take his eyes of the screen. It's so captivating and intriguing. 
At first i was not excited to know that Christian Bale is the star of a film that revolves around a religious story, but as the movie goes along, i was fascinated by how well he plays the role of Moses and how an amazing actor he really is. I mean we all saw his skills in the Batman movies, i admired him a lot in Prestige alongside Hugh Jackman, he put his heart out in American Psycho and 3:10 to Yuma but i was really stupefied to know how well he can adapt to any sort of movies. And i must say i really liked the effort put in by Joel Edgerton in the Ramses role. It's not an easy role to play, and it is the most important alongside Moses. 
Exodus Gods and Kings surpassed my expectations and ticked all the right boxes for me, i can watch it like a hundred times more and not get bored, it that sort of movies that don't come along that often. I advise anybody that wants to do something really useful and exciting for two hours and a half to watch this movie and u'll be sure u'll get entertained for every cent that u pay.      

Jobs (2013)

Rating: 2/5

The first thought that crossed my mind was omg why Ashton Kutcher in the leading role??? Then after watching the first minutes i got my answer. He did it! I didn't understand how but he managed to pull it off surprisingly. Of course i'm not questioning his acting abilities but i see him as a pure comedy actor. Now let's get to the movie itself. First of all i kind of liked the fact that it narrated the university days of steve jobs, the hard working days in his parent's garage to apple in the end. But what shocked me was the fact that at the beginning it seems to be an anti-jobs movie, if you watch it you'll see why, i'm not gonna spoil it for you. Then it gets a little bit dull and slow so you find yourself counting the minutes at the end. The movie can be shorter, some minutes are just added for no reason. 
Overall the movie is not that bad, Ashton Kutcher nails it! still can't believe it, and although i'm not a fan of jobs but the movie tickles your curiosity. It's watchable but not that great.
