The Cove -- rental

OH MY GOD!!! I am watching this right now at home. It's been tough since about half an hour in, but I'm in tears! I'm ready to throw up and I'm furious!! I'm a huge animal lover and I'm shocked!!

This is a wonderfully done documentary! I think these guys did a great job!! If you have a tough stomach, I suggest you watch this. Again, it's very tough to watch!!! And please please please don't watch it alone at night by yourself like I did.

If proceeds from this movie went to research (Which I know it wouldn't but these guys do enough already), I'd buy it twenty times over!! I think people should see this!! They need to see what's going on!!

But once again, it's very tough to watch!!! And now, I just need a hug. ;)

Planet 51 -- rental

I rented this movie this weekend from Netflix. I'm very happy I didn't waste any more money on this one. It is the new Disney cartoon flick and stars the voices of Dwayne Johnson and Justin Long. It was a cute idea, but I couldn't tell if it was a kid's movie with one or two adult references or an adult type movie (like Shrek and Cars) that was also aimed for the adults but did a bad job.

I wasn't entertained enough to stop working while watching it, but it did hold my attention completely at a few times. I'm sure the kids loved it alot more than I did, but I'm also sure I wasn't the target audience. :)

If you like Disney movies, I'd give it a go. It's not going to win any Oscars, but it was an entertaining back drop of a movie. :)

So, next time you need a babysitter little's helper, give it a go. :) Let me know what you think.

Law Abiding Citizen -- rental

I got this movie as a Netflix rental when it came out and woohee did I enjoy it! Jerard Butler was the main lead and mmmm is he yummy! His accent and his body don't hurt the films :)

It was an action movie set in the future and with a new idea. It was a little science fiction-y and a bit suspense. I didn't really want to see this in the theater and I now I could have. I wouldn't mind paying theater nighttime prices for this, but I'd bring my own snacks. Ssshhh :)

It was a nice idea, no "never ending fight scenes" and it even had some female roles.

If you are in the mood for an action type movie running around and jumping and hiding, I liked it. I recommend it for any action fans!

Crazyheart

I saw this movie in the theaters and I enjoyed it. It was a bit slow at some parts and a bit draggy, but if you are sixty years old, you are gonna love it! :) I went with my mom and grandfather and I was the youngest person in the theater by like a few decades. :)

Jeff Bridges did a great job!! So did Maggie Gyllenhaal! It was a bit slower than I thought it would be and much more of an adult type movie, but I enjoyed it. I am glad I got to see it on the big screen since he won his nomination, I thought he deserved it. I was treated to this movie so that was nice. I would have been a bit bummed if I had paid theater nighttime price for this, but the matinee price I could have handled. :)

Overall, I would recommend waiting for rental and watching it at home on your own time frame on a rainy day or weekend. Get some popcorn and maybe even a glass of wine.

Enjoy :)

2012 -- rental

This movie was fantastic!! I saw it as a rental. I tried to see it in the theaters and I wish I had. The huge screen would have been wonderful with all these special effects. Watching it on my tv at home wasn't bad it just didn't do it justice.

From the very beginning the story and few effects kept me on the edge of my seat. With a running time of 2 1/2 hours I am glad I saw it at home where I had to pause it often for bathroom breaks and to stretch my legs. But, I was always excited to push the play button again. I would have been happy to pay the full theater nighttime price for this movie. I loved the special effects and the story lines. When "Day After Tomorrow" came out, I was excited. But I think this movie surpassed that in again, both effects and story line.

If you like these special effect-y movies about the end of the world, as I do, then you will totally enjoy it. IF you don't, you will hate it. :) Either way, I recommend it. It was very entertaining. Enjoy. :)

The Informant! -- rental

I rented this movie a few weeks ago. Netflix had it as a "Very long wait" and I really wanted to see it when it was in the theaters, so I went to Blockbuster and got it. I really enjoyed it! I thought Matt Damon did a great job! I loved him in all the Ocean's movies and I thought this character was very similar. Matt Damon gained like 40 pounds for this movie. I don't think it was necessary, but it helped his character.

This movie was cute, different, entertaining and even funny at some points. :) I would have had no problem paying theater matinee price for this movie but I don't think I would have paid theater nighttime price. It was worth the $5 Blockbuster fee though and most definitely would be worth the RedBox or Netflix price!

If you like Matt Damon and you like new ideas, I totally recommend this movie! It was thoroughly enjoyable!!

Precious

I saw this movie in the theaters and I must say, it was amazing! The story was amazing, and the actors and actresses were so well picked!! Monique in a role that wasn't comedy didn't look too appealing, but she nearly took my breath away. I think it definitely deserved the nomination for best picture!

It was so worth the full price of the theater, even though we had an extra bonus of two couples fighting in the actual theater during the movie.

This story was just amazing!! Sometimes a little tough to realize real people wrote this and live like this, but overall a must see! I highly recommend seeing this movie on the big screen or as a rental. I think it comes out on dvd in the next week or so. It's not something I'd purchase when it comes out, but I totally think you should rent it.

Just make sure to have a box of kleenex with you when you watch. Enjoy. :)
