Carriers

Two brothers travel across the country to try and escape a deadly outbreak that has already decimated most of the population.

This is a very dark and gripping story, sure Chris Pine's character is a bit of dick, but then I'm pretty sure that's what they were going for, so I'll let it go.  I'm not sure why, maybe it's seeing how people will react to society crumbling or having to survive against all odds but I do really enjoy a good end of the world / after the apocalypse movie.  Not sure what says about me, but I can't help myself.  There is definitely a stronger emotional sense from these sort of movies especially when they are done well, like this one which was thoroughly enjoyable (in a dark end of the world sort of way).

This Means War

When two CIA operatives fall for the same girl they make a pact and agree to let her decide which of the two to settle for, and they're not going to interfere with each others dates... yeah, right.  This is actually very very funny and I wasn't expecting it. Some of the stunts they pull off in order to sabotage each other's dates are brilliant and using the full surveillance of the CIA they quite quickly escalate out of control. If I'm honest I went into this expecting a chick flick but the focus was much more of the chaos surrounding the guys , something that made this thoroughly enjoyable.
