Just My Luck / End Game / Thank You For Smoking - movie review

On the way back, watched 3 movies in the airplane....so thought of sharing with you my reviews on it.
Just My Luck - starring Lindsay Lohan (another gifted beautiful lady) & Chris Pine. Lindsay plays a young & upcoming lady in a corporate world and everything is going her way. To the extent when she calls the word "taxi", 4 taxis could be stopping right in front of her at that second. On the other side of the city, a young guy is really at the bottom of the pit. Somehow, this 2 main characters' luck changes or you can say "switched" due to a kiss between the 2 of them in a masquerade party. Lindsay has to find her luck back by finding whom she kissed in that masquerade party (a party where people wear mask). And that guy, wow.........everything's going his way now. Very entertaining movie to kill boredom only.
End Game - starring Burt Reynolds, Cuba Gooding Jr & Angie Harmon. Cuba plays a personal bodyguard to the US President and was unable to prevent an unwanted assasination on the president. He just can't stomach the situation. A hardworking and nosey lady reporter found some leads and such leads were "terminated" the moment she talked to them. As she approaches Cuba, both were nearly killed too. This brought Cuba to search for clues which leads to more controversy as to who are the people behind the assasination. He can't trust many people as the Secret Service Dept was somehow involved. A suspense / thriller movie. Such scenarios could be real for the death of certain people in the political arena.
Thank You For Smoking - starring Aaron Eckhart & Maria Bello. Aaron was the lobbyist for a non-governmental organisation ("NGO") sponsored by major cigarette companies to counter negative statements or incidents that occured or linked to cigarettes. On the other side, a group of congressman was trying to label/brand cigarettes as poison. His concious/moral was tested when he was testifying on behalf of the NGO in a congressional hearing with his young son witnessing in the room too. A very good movie in view of current legislations being implemented worldwide to counter the cost of smoking.
