You Killed Wesley Payne : Review

About: “You Killed Wesley Payne” is a truly original and darkly hilarious update of classic pulp-noir, in which hard-boiled seventeen year-old Dalton Rev transfers to the mean hallways of Salt River High to take on the toughest case of his life. The question isn't whether Dalton's going to get paid. He always gets paid. Or whether he's gonna get the girl. He always (sometimes) gets the girl. The real question is whether Dalton Rev can outwit crooked cops and killer cliques in time to solve the mystery of "The Body" before it solves him.

Review: “You Killed Wesley Payne” is a book from Sean Beaudoin.

“He's come to do a job.
A job that involves a body.
A body wrapped in duct tape found hanging from the goal posts at the end of the football field.”

Things I liked: I really like mystery, detective novels, so when I read the book I liked the story a lot. It is an interesting book about a 17 year old boy who tries to solve a mystery, the death of a boy. The story is well written and has a lot of suspense. Finally the ending is unexpected and I enjoyed a lot the last chapters.

Things I did not like: Once again I did not like the main character of the book, Dalton Rev. He is a very “tough” guy, he is not afraid of anything or anyone and that was fake. He also did an unspeakable thing; he turned down a Harvard scholarship! Who does that? Also I did not like the writing style, it was too aggressive for me, but I think that’s because of Dalton, it is how he describes everything.

To sum up it is a good book, but I am not head over heels about it.

Little Fockers, Review

It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get in with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan-including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin-descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But, with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch... will the circle of trust be broken for good?

REVIEW:
I can't believe it's 10 years since the first movie! DeNiro and Stiller are one amazing duo, and even after so many years can bring the fun back!

The movie definitely wasn't like the other two (i believe it was missing something) but it still was much fun. I liked that after so much, DeNiro still have his doubts. It's so amazing! I guess it will never stop for him XD
I was also happy that the kids had bigger parts in the movie, and i totally loved the little girl who was a little DeNiro. It was kinda hilarious to watch a little girl acting like that and spying and stuff.

Of course, Owen Wilson rocked his part for another time. Love love love! How amazing that actor is?!
Jesicca Alba also starts and i didn't know that, so i was gasping at the cinema screen at her first scene. I don't like how skinny she is.
Addition to all the fun, are also the Fockers parents who are back as well!

It's really great to see a cast, working that well together and make a movie with not much interest (i said it was missing something, it wasn't exceptional like the others) be that funny!

I certainly enjoyed it. And i believe everyone (at least the one who follows the series) must watch the movie.
