So I am a big fan of a lot of people in this movie - I love Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and John Malcovich. So that, of course, really made me want to see this. Also, I don't know - there is just something about "comedy action movie" that just makes me happy... So needless to say from the title I thought it was good! I thought there was good action in it and I can honestly never get enough of some good ole' sarcasm which is pretty much how Bruce Willis's character was :) and John Malcovich is just a whole other kind of CRAZY - but also hilarious. Honestly he fit his character perfectly because I think he already looks crazy LOL - so he was great too. Morgan Freeman was good, Helen Mirren was good, Mary Louis Parker was good. The actors were good the humor was great and the action rocked.... sooo all in all. Watch it, at least when it comes to DVD.
Enjoy....

I liked this movie. Mind you I didn't really believe a single thread of it. I'm not really the type to believe that a Matt Damon type or any person for that matter can touch my hand and see someone that has passed. I'm not a believer of such things.... HOWEVER I did think that it was a well made movie. Filled sort of like Crash - as in - you are following three different people throughout the movie and so on.... Anyhow in a nut shell I thought it was good. I would give it a shot if I were you :)

How to Train a Dragon - Watch it (great for kids too)
// Labels: Kids, Watch it

My husband and I saw this at I-Max 3-D and it was great! This is a fabulous movie! Great story line for both kids and adults and awesome animation :)
Not a ton to say except that it is very fun to match the characters to the stars who do the voices. It is a really fun movie that I highly recommend! :)

O.K. so I have thought of watching this movie tons of times. It was on instant in the Netflix choices. Needless to say there was a REASON I chose not to watch it all those times.... because deep down I knew it was gonna stink!
First off - the description of the movie was far more interesting then the movie itself. To put it plainly there is a pretty eventful scene at the beginning that basically starts the whole story line. However, after that it is pretty dull. At the very end of the movie it perks up but all in all it is a very slow, rather depressing movie. It's one of those no one wins kind of endings which in my opinion are just maddening!
So save yourself the depression and annoyance and don't bother there are a TON of other movies that would be better choices....
If you decided to watch it... don't say I didn't warn you!

Ok first off I really liked the original so I had some expectations - which I admit is not the brightest when it comes to sequels because more often than not - they suck. Well this movie is a clear example of a downright crappy sequel! There is one character that was from the first movie who is played by another actress who (in my opinion) looks nothing like the other actress. So that was dumb to begin with.... There is also a part that is supposed to be one of the other actors from the last movie (Josh Hartnet) and it clearly looks NOTHING like him.
All that crap aside - it was so B movie horrible that it was down right pathetic. It was a gore fest which I am never a fan of and it's not because I am a squeamish chick I can handle some grossness in a movie. However, when it seems like they are using the blood and guts so that people will think the movie is great... well - that just doesn't do it for me. It's stupid. I prefer less gore and a better story line. Mind you the first one was bloody but - ya know - it IS a vampire movie! What do you expect? This one was just stupid gore and closeups of bowls of blood. Dumb. I myself prefer the Blade Trilogy to these movies. In that case the third movie was the best one!
So to get down to it simply - it sucked - and that is not a funny vampire pun ! It really was HORRIBLE! So DON'T BOTHER!!!
If you do decide to watch it....prepare for a whole lotta CRAP....

Mind you this is SORT OF a chick flick but I did not title it as such because my husband enjoyed the movie too. It is a comedy romance. If you have seen the trailer for it I'm sure that you would agree it looks funny. Well it was :) So if you can't catch it in the theaters (I usually don't see much but action movies in the theater but I was in the mood for some laughter) then rent it when it comes out :)
Enjoy!

First off I love Queen Latifa - I think she rocks :) Secondly this is a typical chick flick so if you like chick flicks you'll like it. Can't say your boyfriend or husband will be all that into it but it's a great movie to watch with the girls. Not a ton to say about it really - it's just a good movie :)

This isn't your typical remake. It isn't a bunch of new actors and actresses playing the same characters with the same names like the majority of remakes. It follows the same story line loosely - boy gets beat up, boy meets man who teaches him king fu, boy has to fight in match against bullies to redeem himself. So on and so forth.
But there is not the wax on wax off scenes. No painting the fence, etc. There are other things that he does that are mundane that he hates at the beginning of training but I was happy that they were not the same things. That there was some creativity in the portrayal. Jaden Smith did a great job in the movie as did Jackie Chan. All in all this movie was significantly better than I would expect as most remakes are pretty awful. For example Death at a Funeral (see my last post) Psycho (which was just horrendous) and Halloween 2 (Rob Zombie should be ashamed). I digress..... watch Karate Kid - that's my point.

Ok so this movie is pretty much useless. It's full of family fighting and awkward moments - i.e. the dad's lover is a gay little person who wants the family's money. Mind you there are amusing aspects - such as James Marsden's character high out of his mind on some drug he didn't know he took (he thought it was something else). THAT was pretty hilarious throughout the movie. All in all it is full of Chris Rock type humor. So I mean it is basically a pointless comedy with awkward aspects and plenty of language. If that's your thing I guess you should watch it ;) To each their own...
Hope you enjoy if you do decide to watch it but don't expect too much LOL

While my husband had reservations about Jake Gyllenhaal being able to pull of this movie he actually thought he did a good job. I would have to agree. The film has some great fight scenes. The "sands of time" parts (you'll get what I mean when you watch it) are done really well with special effects. The movie all in all was very good. Gemma Arterton did a great job as the princess also. All in all I would say watch it for sure! This should be one that you ladies can watch with your significant others and both be happy :)
ENJOY!
