The Change-Up

I mean, you can never have too many Freaky Fridays, right??

Shutter Island

I thought this was going to more of a horror flick, glad it wasn't, liked the twists.

Sherlock Holmes 2

Such a wonderful pair Jude and Robert do make, clever, funny, action-packed, clever.

War Horse

I mean, it's ALL about a horse, does it get any better!?

Ides of March

Not at all what I expected, but terribly good besides.

Bad Teacher

Had some very entertaining and comical moments, Cameron Diaz is showing her age, btw.

Harold and Maude

Very, very bizarre, and right up my alley, a must see if you enjoy cult classics.

Limitless

Better than I expected, but less than I hoped for, still worth a watch.

The Adjustment Bureau

A fun, actiony, mysteryish, twisty-turny, yet predictable kind of movie.

Everything Must Go

Funny, painful at times, nice ambiance.

Something Borrowed

Just a chick flick, not even a comedy; at least I hope it wasn't supposed to be...

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Precious

Disturbing in a realistic kind of way, as well as eye-opening.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

The final HP, phenomenal and sad all at the same time...nothing left to look forward to anymore.

X-Men: First Class

Possibly the best X-men thus far...but you really can't go wrong with James, now can you?

True Grit

You can expect good work from these directors, but this was fabulous, and perfect.

Bridesmaids

H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S.

The People Under The Stairs

Pretty good for an early 90's horror flick.

Thursday, June 02, 2011

Hot Tub Time Machine

I had heard bad things, but it was a good, newerish version of "Dude, Where's my Car?"

Friday, May 27, 2011

Easy A

An enjoyable, light-hearted, well put together teen comedy flick.

127 Hours

Really intense and awesome and answered all my questions as to how someone could cut off their own arm.

No Strings Attached

I like that Natalie Portman was a resident, and it was kind of cute and a little bit funny.

Monday, May 23, 2011

Salt

I did not watch this just because it's my favorite spice, it was actually a great film.

Monday, May 16, 2011

The Fighter

Something about this movie made me happy the entire time I was watching it, and it wasn't Christian Bale (but that always helps.)

The Switch

If you're in the mood for a chick flick, not a bad choice.

Get Him to the Greek

Hilarious; no slow parts.

Due Date

Hilarious; except for the slow parts.

Tangled

Reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast, such a cute, fun, entertaining children's movie.

Revolutionary Road

Get to the ending, and it's all worth it!

The Informant!

One of those movies that there is really nothing to say about, not boring, not exciting, not funny, not sad, not happy, just there.

The Town

Expectations may have been a little too high, that being said, it was good.

Despicable Me

Hilarious, cute, and still entertaining, even when your 2 year old is watching it for the 117th time, for the 4th time that day.

Winter's Bone

Yes, the Ozarks are like that.

Saturday, January 29, 2011

Til There Was You

On TV, was feeling lazy, didn't have the remote, that's my excuse anyway.

The Social Network

Now I really want to see the real Mark Zuckerberg in life.

Sunday, January 02, 2011

James and the Giant Peach

A great representation of the book, worth a watch for any Roald fans.

Astro Boy

A bit heavy for a kid's movie, but entertaining.

Prince of Persia

Jake is in REALLY good shape, just sayin'.

Ant Bully

Big actor voices, cute film.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Just OK, but entertained my 2 year old, so great!

Up to the Potter standards, like always.

Black Swan

Wow, love this director, loved this film; still thinking about it.

Friday, November 12, 2010

Love Happens

Umm, not even a very enjoyable chick flick.

Up In the Air

I really enjoyed the tone of the film, a bit slow at times.

Babies

Surprisingly engaging.

Thursday, November 04, 2010

Invictus

I just kept wondering the whole time how much of the movie was actually true.

Sunday, October 17, 2010

Secretariat

I love that horse, he is amazing, the race re-enactments are awesome (until you YOUTUBE the original footage), would give anything to have been able to see him race in person.

The Duchess

Costumes and casting made this a must see, and it is worth a watch if you enjoy the Elizabethan era.

Race To Witch Mountain

Loved the original as a kid; the remake it just fine, a bit action-y.

Crazy Heart

I have to admit, I expected a bit more, kind of like "No Country For Old Men", I can't decide if I thought it was only OK because of high expectations...

Sunday, September 26, 2010

Kick Ass

A clever, funny, well-constructed, surprise of a movie.

Monday, September 20, 2010

New In Town

This film had great actors, but could not make up its' mind, slapstick, romantic comedy??

Peaceful Warrior

Not the greatest quality, or acting, and believability was a bit off, but it did hold my attention.

Deliver Us From Evil

A bit disturbing by content, but interesting, and informative without being too pushy, as many documentaries can be.

The Blind Side

What a great, little movie, well done, interesting, great cast, pleasant.

Sunday, August 22, 2010

The Reign of Fire

All-star cast, including, the lovely Christian Bale, Gerard Butler and Matthew McConaughey for a so-so film.

Saturday, August 21, 2010

The 41-Year Old Virgin that Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It

Wow, that really was an awful movie - the only reason I watched the whole thing is because of curiosity as to which other movies would be referenced.

Avatar

Wow, that really was a GOOD movie.

Sunday, August 01, 2010

The Time Traveler's Wife

Yes, a chickflick, but unexpectedly serious, and dramatic and thoughtful.

Monday, July 26, 2010

Inception

One of those movies that you don't want to end, and then causes you to think about, and "dream" about for the next couple days.

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Funny People

Though the word "funny" is in the title, this if more of a dark/serious comedy, yet enjoyable.

Thursday, July 15, 2010

The Ballad of Jack & Rose

Sincerely a bizarre relationship, in a well put-together film.

Charlie Bartlett

A charming, funny and unique film, who doesn't enjoy a lovable misfit?

Wednesday, July 07, 2010

The Ugly Truth

Perfect for your "girly movie night" needs.

Friday, July 02, 2010

Timer

Interesting concept...and timer that counts down and goes off when you meet your soul mate.

Sunday, June 06, 2010

Spread

I just watched it because of Ashton, but it kind of made me not like him.

Sunday, May 09, 2010

Something the Lord Made

Makes you realize and appreciate how amazing the art of medicine truly is.

The End of an Affair

Such a classic, frustrating love story, go with your heart people.

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

The Hurt Locker

Hmmm...had no desire to see it, won best picture, felt obligated, should have stuck with original notion, now I am confused: best picture?

Julie & Julia

I feel kid of stupid blogging about a movie about blogging, nevertheless, it twas quite good.

Thursday, April 08, 2010

Alice In Wonderland

A little bit trippy, a little bit sappy, and overall entertaining; just right.

Sunday, March 21, 2010

Zombieland

To quote TBS; very funny.

March of the Penguins

Quite fascinating and unbelievable, more attention-capturing than expected.

Sunday, March 14, 2010

Watchmen

Hard to follow at moments, but that might add to the intrigue.

Saw III

As creepy and bizarre as the first two!

Saturday, February 27, 2010

Four Christmases

Had its funny moments, guess that's really all I have to say.

Monday, February 22, 2010

An Education

Probably should have been a bit more disturbing than it was, a 16 year old and a 30 something...but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sunday, February 21, 2010

Extract


Simply clever and funny.

Monday, January 25, 2010

Gran Torino


(Not to be mistaken with Monte Carlo...) Everyone said it was good, still had only minimal desire to see it, so threw it on the Netflix queue, thank goodness because everyone was right!

{500} Days of Summer

I am confused about whether I liked it or not, so I guess you should just see it for yourself, unique.

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Up


Once getting beyond a the tear-jerking first 15 minutes or so, the movie became adorable and hilarious, they captured dog personalities perfectly.

Monday, January 04, 2010

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Harrison Ford really is aging, it's gotten to the undeniable point...but I loved the film & the Indy charm is not lost.

Friday, January 01, 2010

Doubt

Some people are just really stubborn, and some films are just really slow.

**EDITS DOWN BELOW**

I am in the process of making this site a bit more user friendly. Hopefully, the alphabetical index will help someone who might be thinking of seeing a particular film, but would like to first see it's ratings. Though, if I were you, I'd just click on any of the 3.5 or above ratings and choose from there...but that's just me.

Thanks!
Erin

Tell No One

A surprise all around, never heard of it, but it came highly recommended from 2 reliable sources, and did not disappoint.

Last Chance Harvey

Painfully embarrassing at moments, you know, the kind that makes you squirm for the character, but charming as well.

Sherlock Holmes

Wow, great chemistry between Sherlock & Watson, and enthralling plot.

Tuesday, December 08, 2009

Food, Inc.

Did not quite finish it, not because it was boring or disturbing, but because we started it at 9pm on a week night; so I will finish this documentary on our meat & produce someday.

Brothers

With the acting trio of Natalie, Tobey and Jake how could one possibly go wrong!?

The Invisible

On the lines of a teen flick, but enjoyable none the less.

Saturday, November 21, 2009

Bruno

Best watched while drinking and needle pointing, in my experience.

Sunday, November 15, 2009

Love in the Time of Cholera

I think there was a lack of chemistry between actors.

Saturday, November 07, 2009

The Men Who Stare at Goats

This, on the other hand, was a slight let down, funny, clever, unique, but just missing that extra something.

The Proposal

Did not let down; I heard from many that this was not just your ordinary chick flick, and that male and female alike found joy in this film, to repeat TBS, very funny.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Just a good, cutsie, carefree, chickflick.

Friday, October 30, 2009

I Love You, Man

Hil-arious, just a very upbeat, well-plotted comedy with some good chemistry between actors.

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

The Brothers Bloom

Wow, how unexpected, did not remember even hearing about this one in the theaters, and it was phenomenal, cute, entertaining, clever and funny.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Better than the 3rd X-Men, Wolverine is still hot, lots of open ends therefore lots of potential for never ending X-Men movies!

Saturday, October 10, 2009

The Invention of Lying

Great concept, ok production.

Sunday, October 04, 2009

Sunshine Cleaning

Was lead to believe it was more a comedy then it turned out to be...but fantastic as is.
