Your Highness - DON'T BOTHER!!!!

I CANNOT STATE THIS ENOUGH!

THIS. MOVIE. WAS. AWFUL. AND. SHOULD. NEVER. HAVE. BEEN. MADE!

A W F U L

I was expecting some crude humor but honestly this was so awful it was upsetting. I didn't have much of an interest in it but had my husband warned me (as he should have) what he had heard about it there is NO WAY I would have seen it. I blame this on him.

My car broke down so I had my mothers and needed to do something before picking her up from work - so it was this or Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I thought Wimpy Kid would be embarrassing to see but now that I have seen Your Highness I am beyond embarrassed that I watched THAT! It was the first movie I have ever seen where 20 minutes in I wanted to see if I could get my money back. UGH! Honestly I wish I had left whether I got my money back or not.

TRUST ME! DON'T BOTHER!

Country Strong - Watch it!

No Spoilers...

Fair warning it is certainly a sad movie! Do not watch this and expect to be cheery at the end. If you have any issues with pregnancies, alcoholism, drugs, or any emotional issues this will certainly hit you where it hurts in a few parts.

Ok honestly I was not expecting much from this movie. I really thought I was going to hate it. For one I am not a fan of country music in the least and two I heard it was awful. Well I was pleasantly surprised by this movie!

I thought that Gwyneth Paltrow did a great job as the main character Kelly Canter. Ever since I saw her in Duets I have believed her to be a great singer. She has been great in her episodes on GLEE and she was great in this. Hater of country music or not the girl can sing and she pulled off a very dramatic role very well in my opinion.

Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund, and Leighton Meester were all very good in their parts also.

I rented this from my local redbox - totally worth the $1.00!!

Check out the trailer below. ENJOY!

Source Code - Watch it (wait for dvd though)

No Spoilers...

To start with... I expected this to be FAR too 'Groundhog day' for me (if you have never watched that movie the same day repeats the whole movie basically). This would have have seriously annoyed me and I am happy to say it was NOT like that.

If you have not heard of the movie - check out the trailer below - it's weird to explain. What I can say about this is it was worth watching. It won't be nominated for any awards. It is certainly not as mind blowing as Inception (which might I add totally got shunned at the awards which was rather upsetting) or one that we will necessarily remember as these actors BEST movies. It is a cool concept though. My husband and I both expected a bit more from it. I can't really articulate what I expected without giving too much away. So I won't explain.

I will just say you should give it a shot but wait for DVD. There wasn't much to be gained from seeing this in theaters. I would have enjoyed it just as much on my TV.
Either way - certainly worth a rental :)

Soul Surfer - WATCH IT!

No Spoilers...

"I don't know why terrible things happen to us sometimes. But I have to believe something good is going to come from this."

This movie is a true story about a young girl who had recently become a pro surfer and while surfing she had her arm bitten off by a shark. It is a truly inspiring story about how this girl goes against all odds and actually learns how to surf again. It was far more impressive than I ever expected it to be and had a lot of mentions about God and faith that I found to be truly touching as I am a Christian myself. I can't imagine ever going through something like that but I believe it would have been a completely different situation had she not had faith in God.

Her faith and her family's faith and the faith of her friends and community are a big part of what makes this movie amazing. If you ever been through something difficult this movie will make you realize that good can come from anything. It was a truly touching film filled with many amazing actors.



Check it out - I doubt you'll be disappointed!

ENJOY!
