Marley & Me stars Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson. It’s a story about a family and the world’s worst dog. The dog is a male Labrador who doesn’t follow their orders and is such a menace but don’t expect this movie to be a laugh-hard type as you would be shocked at how it turns out in the end.

The story is well written and they did not make it a movie about a dog that saved the world and touched the hearts of everyone but it talks about a menace dog who did nothing extraordinary except for being their dog. Marley grew up as their family also grew and he became a part of their family even though at times they just want to give up on him.

When he got pretty old, Marley had a condition with his stomach. The veterinarian said he may not make it to the night but Owen’s character said that Marley is a superdog and he is sure he will make it and sure enough, he recovered and went home only to get a second attack again. The second attack was inevitable and they already knew they had to euthanize him as there’s nothing the vet can do. It is at this moment that you will surely start to cry. I sure did… we all did.

I was in the mood to watch an action flick the other day so I decided to watch Eagle Eye which stars my current crush, “not too geeky, not too hunky” Shia LeBouf, who I’ve been watching ever since his Even Steven days.

Shia stars as Jerry, a copy machine hub employee and Michelle Monaghan as Rachel who is a doting single mom. Both have their separate worlds but then one day their fates are intertwined with a mysterious phone call from a woman. The movie starts with the military spying on a suspected terrorist and making a mistake when they kill innocent people. This lead to a strike back from the other country’s armed forces.

The scene then focuses on Jerry who soon finds himself in a terrible predicament after his almost perfect, over achiever twin brother dies. He suddenly had a lot of money in his penniless bank account, a roomful of weapons were delivered to his apartment and then a phone call from a very mysterious woman warned him about the police coming to arrest him. Rachel on the other hand has no other choice but to follow as well because the woman on the other line said that her son is being held hostage and will die if she doesn’t follow immediately.
