Cloverfield

Someone recommended this...and I am not sure who it was, but I'll have to remember not to listen to them ever again.

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Stepbrothers

So unexpected, so funny, so many one-liners.

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

Batman: The Dark Knight


Yes, it is every bit as good as everyone expected and said it was- it may be long, but you never want it to end.

Sunday, July 20, 2008

2001: A Space Odyssey


A true experience.

Saturday, July 19, 2008

Mamma Mia


Never saw it onstage, unfortunately, but loved the big screen version, fantastical!

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Ironman


Originally, I had no interest to see this, then all the reviews kept raving, as did all the people I knew who had seen it, so basically I was peer pressured into desiring to watch this film...and it was actually worth it.

Saturday, July 05, 2008

The Painted Veil


Tragic and beautiful, don't ask me how this is possible.

Saturday, June 28, 2008

Wanted


Perfect kind of action movie: hot actors, didn't take itself too seriously, some comic relief and some great graphics, even a decent storyline.

Thursday, June 26, 2008

30 Days of Night

If you like thrillers or scary movies, you will like this, guaranteed.

Monday, June 23, 2008

Get Smart

Thought the humor would be along the lines of "Airplane", and it wasn't, but just because it's not what I expected doesn't mean I didn't like it!

Thursday, June 19, 2008

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

Fabulous and frustrating the whole way through.

Thursday, June 12, 2008

Eastern Promises

Warning: quite graphic, but enjoyable otherwise.

Monday, June 09, 2008

What Happens in Vegas

It really did have some funny moments, not bad.

Sunday, June 08, 2008

Steel Magnolias

So, I thought I had seen this, but I guess not, it's really, really sad (wish I wouldn't have watched it while the Hub was out of town and I am pregnant.)

Monday, June 02, 2008

Step Up

Less dancing than expected, but still a fun movie for its genre.

Sex in the City

I suppose most girls might enjoy this film, personally, way to over the top for me.

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

P.S. I Love You

Pointlessly sad the entire time.

Monday, May 26, 2008

Domestic Disturbance

Random, corny, thriller-type movie with Vince Vaughn & John Travolta...had anyone else heard of this movie?

Saturday, May 24, 2008

Charlie Wilson's War

Can't go wrong with Tom Hanks, could do without Julia Roberts, so all in all, a very entertaining film.

Friday, May 23, 2008

Baby Mama

Thought it might be one of those movies where all the funny moments are given away on the trailers, but they saved a few treasures.

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

I am definitely not the target audience, but the little baby just looked so cute on the previews, I couldn't resist.

Thursday, May 15, 2008

There Will Be Blood

Maybe everyone who watched this film had the same experience, but I found myself relating quite well to Daniel Plainview, enjoyed every long, slow moment of it.

Friday, May 02, 2008

Gung Ho

Matt's extra credit project...just because it's about Japanese, factories and work ethics, an industrial engineer should be interested?

Sunday, April 20, 2008

Lars and the Real Girl

At first, I thought this film was going to be too painful to bear for the entire length, and it just kept getting better, so I made it.

Sunday, April 13, 2008

Smart People

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this movie, it had everything, awkward moments, funny moments, sad moments, happy moments, and great acting.

Friday, April 11, 2008

Away From Her

Heartbreaking, absolutely nothing but sad, take heed.

Wednesday, April 09, 2008

The Perfect Man

It was on TV, it was cute.

Monday, March 31, 2008

21

I wish I could count cards like that, amazing, and the film was good too.

Michael Clayton

I never felt like I knew exactly what direction the film was moving in, and I love it for that.

Wednesday, March 26, 2008

Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day

Such an upbeat film, the acting was superb and the whole thing just seemed creative and unique.

Across the Universe

I had mixed emotions, beautiful, strange, engaging, but perhaps cheesy.

Sunday, March 23, 2008

Enchanted

Silly mish-mosh of fairy tales.

Sunday, March 09, 2008

We Own the NIght

Like every movie of its kind, moral is: don't deal in drugs, it will get you, and your family, killed.

Sunday, March 02, 2008

Jumper

I would love to be able to do that!

Ratatoullie

He made a human sized omelet, then a little miniature one for himself, so cute, I wanted to squeeze him and his little rat friends.

Monday, February 25, 2008

Rescue Dawn

Perhaps I am biased because a certain someone was the lead in this flim, but I don't think so, it was good.

Friday, February 08, 2008

Untraceable

The usual suspense type movies, but I loved the actors.

3:10 To Yuma

At first, I didn't get it, and thought it was pointless, but then the light came on, and I decided I rather enjoyed it.

Sunday, February 03, 2008

The Punisher

Almost always a Marvel comics fan (Fantastic 4 being the exception), there is just something about an attractive man who can't die.

27 Dresses

I just love a chick flick every now and then, so this one hit the spot.

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

The Covenant

I think I may be a couple years older than the targeted audience, but it was enjoyable enough.

Monday, January 21, 2008

The Bucket List

Very cute, and a lot more serious/cheesey than comedic.

Sicko

Nothing I didn't know, but very upsetting when put together in a bit of a too long film, we NEED better healthcare!

Sunday, January 20, 2008

No Country for Old Men

One of those movies that gets ruined because of high expectation, though I am not sure I would have been impressed if I had gone in with no expectations, but maybe.

Friday, January 18, 2008

Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer

I love Marvel movies, why on earth did they make this soo corny?

Friday, January 11, 2008

The Nanny Diaries

The fact that any truth lies in this nanny account makes this film disgusting.

Sunday, January 06, 2008

Atonement

Ahh, the long, heart-breaking love story, cheers!

Saturday, January 05, 2008

Walk Hard

My personal favorite was shaking the baby and thank goodness for Tim Meadows.

Notes on a Scandal

Perverted and mysterious, I like.

Wednesday, January 02, 2008

The Savages

I probably found the movie more comedic than most, but it was very realistic.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Definitely a musical, definitely gory, definitely enjoyable nonetheless.

Monday, December 31, 2007

Into the Wild

I'm just not sure what to think, was it amazing, typical, sad, happy - all I know is I love Eddie.

Friday, December 28, 2007

Stardust

I love magic, I just do.

Juno

Clever, unique and kept you guessing - in a weird sort of way.

Friday, December 21, 2007

Flushed Away

Disappointingly, a child's film.

Yours, Mine and Ours

Ummm, hello, already been done, Cheaper By the Dozen - I hate comparing movies, but get real.

Mr. Brooks

One of those movies that remains in your subconscience for a while, wish it weren't so darn predicatable.

Wednesday, December 19, 2007

Waitress

Fantastic, sad, yet full of life and amusement, happy.

Monday, December 17, 2007

Hustle & Flow

All I have to say is, "It's hard out here for a pimp" - don't I know it!

Tuesday, December 11, 2007

The Thing Called Love

It was on TV, I'd never seen it, now I know why.

Art School Confidential

Very surprising cast, less surprising film, though enjoyable nonetheless.

Wednesday, December 05, 2007

The Namesake

Wow, heard it was good, saw it was good, now I am telling you, it was good.

Saturday, December 01, 2007

The Darjeeling Limited

The dry, weirdness of Wes Anderson films finally meshed perfectly with the characters and storyline to create an irresistibly wonderful film.

Monday, November 26, 2007

Snakes on a Plane

Everything I expected, and nothing more.

August Rush

Musically wonderful, and fairytale-ishly dramatic.

Sunday, November 25, 2007

Friends With Money

Despite being an abrupt ender (which really grinds my gears), it was rather enchanting.

Sunday, November 18, 2007

Godsend

A bit weird, a bit boring.

Stomp The Yard

Actually, despite what could be called a cheesy, typical plot, the film was great, loved the style of editting (as if I know what I'm talking about.)

Thursday, November 15, 2007

1408

Not real scary, but then again, I had to convince myself of that because I was home alone, watching it late.

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Wicker Park

Weird, the same actress as the last movie, and I picked these movies completely seperately at completely different times...liked it though.

Wednesday, November 07, 2007

Copying Beethoven

It kind of bothered me when the actress would switch accents, but she was very pretty, guess we can't have it all.

Sunday, November 04, 2007

American Gangster

This movie never really had me gripped, but it never let me drift either.

Eragon

I really want a baby dragon.

Transformers

Good, but not quite the movie the boys had told me it would be...

Sunday, October 21, 2007

Reign Over Me

This is the kind of movie you have to watch a few times in order to really pick up on all the points it is making.

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Because I Said So

The movie was cute, and Johnny was hot.

Monday, October 08, 2007

The Fountainhead

Too blatent for philosophy.

Sunday, October 07, 2007

Georgia Rule

Absolutely, not what I expected...but Lohan was destined to play this role.

The Heartbreak Kid

Does Ben Stiller just wait around until the most frustrating comedy comes out, gee whiz, shoot me in the foot!

Tuesday, October 02, 2007

Lord of War

Another NC movie, but this one really is good, and disturbing.

Next

I just like Nicholas Cage, what can I say....except for Wicker Man - top 3 worst movies of all time!

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

North Country

Wow, so frustrating.

Monday, September 24, 2007

American History X

Again, people are crazy.

Me and You and Everyone We Know

People are crazy.

Year of the Dog

Thought it supposed to be funny...

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Shooter

Gripping and beautiful all the way through.

Thursday, September 06, 2007

North By Northwest

Whenever I asked my mother to recommend an older film to me, she mentioned this one, I can see why.

Tuesday, September 04, 2007

The History Boys

Rather odd behavior made to seem completely normal, amongst young boys, hmmm?

Saturday, September 01, 2007

Fast Food Nation

The sad thing is...I still like McDonald's and Wendy's and Taco Bell.

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

The Last King of Scotland

He always looked so happy and energetic in the previews and clips I saw...what happened?

Monday, August 27, 2007

A Scanner Darkly

I guess I was not in the right "mood", damn those Linklater films.

Grandma's Boy

Nerds never looked so cool, or made me laugh so hard.

Sunday, August 19, 2007

Premonition

I had a premonition that this movie was not going to be very good...it was very accurate.

Friday, August 17, 2007

Superbad

Man, that was super funny, did not stop laughing, seriously, there was not a single scence during which I did not laugh.

The Number 23

Not quite the thriller I expected, more drama and suspense, but I did watch it on 8/15 which equals 23...spooky.

Wednesday, August 15, 2007

Disturbia

Very real-life feel, I actually believed that an 18 y/o boy would behave this way under similar circumstances.

Tuesday, August 14, 2007

The Last Sin Eater

Yet another recruiting tool for the Pentecostals...I have been born again.

Friday, August 10, 2007

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

So creative, and weird, if you can look beyond length it's a keeper.

Wednesday, August 08, 2007

Confetti

A fabulous documentary style comedy following the most "original" wedding contestants, look out Best in Show.

Wednesday, August 01, 2007

Black Snake Moan

Just really weird, I think it was supposed to be a serious and thought provoking movie, I think.
