The Devil's Double

Surrogates

You know, this is one of those movies that had a great idea but in the end, they could have done so much more with it. I do like the concept of where the movie was going but it just fizzled out for me. I was disappointed. I don't think it was a really bad show, but I expected more.

Avatar

I finally saw Avitar! We saw the late late show in 3D over the weekend and I thought it was pretty good. I just say "pretty" good because I thought the plot was very predictable, I mean anyone heard of "Dancing With Wolves"? Basically the same plot.

But of course the special affects are amazing! Everyone should go see it just for the special affects. But please, do not try to kill yourself afterward!

It is NOT real.

I repeat, it is NOT real.

Hurt Locker

Hurt Locker is a war film, but it portrays the Iraq war in almost a documentary type of fashion. It is true to life, at least they say it is, and it's not your typical shoot'em up war movie.

It is more of a drama with a few riveting moments. It was more interesting to me than exciting. It shows what really goes on with our troops over seas.

Orphan

Spooky! Tori Spelling says so!

Zombieland

Oh man, this is a horror comedy about two guys trying to survive the world that is now prevalent with zombies. Woody Harrelson is hilarious in this! I really enjoyed the show, it was so freakin funny! Yes, it was very gory, a little too gory for my taste but I got over it. It's suspenseful and surprising and gross and scary and fun and silly, I love it!

Go see it with a date, do not take your children! obviously.

(Oh and there is a surprise guest that totally makes the show!)

Fargo

I heard that Fargo was very similar to "Burn After Reading", and since I loved that show, I had to check out Fargo. It's based on a true story that happened back in the 80's. It is a dark comedy about a kidnapping gone wrong and the pregnant cop who investigates the case.


Oh. my. gosh. it is hilarious!


It's a lot darker than "Burn After Reading" but even funnier! Is that a word? I loved it!

Law Abiding Citizen

It's about a man who's wife and daughter are murdered and the killer was put on trial but a plea bargain sets him free so this man decides to take the law into his own hands.

It's one of those shows where you're not quite sure who is the good guy and who is the bad guy. It's a really good show with a smart plot and plenty of shocking moments, including one that made me pee a little. I loved it, however the ending was a touch on the cheesy side, but that's just me, my husband didn't think so.

Dexter - Season 3

What's not to love about an intelligent, handsome & charming serial killer? The hubster and I love this show!

Michael C. Hall is just an amazing actor, I loved him in 6 Feet Under and I love him even more in Dexter. Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Dexter's sister on the show, is not my fav. And it totally bugs me that they are married in real life. He could do so much better!

Yeah, I think blondes are more his type. Freakishly tall blondes.

Sons Of Anarchy

This is my husband's favorite show on TV right now, so of course I am forced to watch it. It's basically like The Sopranos except instead of a mob, this show is about a motorcycle gang. The hubster loves anything to do with motorcycles!

It's actually not too bad other than it is pretty intense. I can't believe they can get away with some things that they show, even on cable!

Crank 2 High Voltage

I have nothing to say other than that this was the worst. movie. ever.

ever.

You don't want to see it, trust me.

While She Was Out

This was a horrible movie, seriously a waste of my time. It's about a suburban housewife who heads out to the mall on Christmas Eve for some last minute shopping. Circumstances change and she is chased into the woods by a group of guys after she witnessed a murder.

The whole show is her in the woods being chased by these guys. The. whole. show.

Inglorious Basterds

I really liked this movie! Brad Pitt was hilarious. Of course I don't think the show is considered a comedy but it had a lot of funny parts. I love how Quentin Tarantino incorporates the flash backs when introducing characters. It was very well directed and even if you aren't a fan of Quenton's work, you will like this anyway.

It's just shocking and funny and witty and charming in a way. I loved it. I'd definitely see it again.

Take that Hitler!

District 9

This show was ca-razy! It starts out like a documentary of how this huge alien ship broke down and got stuck on earth 20 years ago. So the humans sort of quarantined these ugly aliens into their own area called district 9. Since the aliens had been on Earth for 20 years, the humans were used to the idea so in the movie, it was just normal to have the yucky things wandering around!

It took a while to get used to the look of the aliens because they were so gross looking but I found myself rooting for these guys by the end of the movie and felt sorry for them!



This movie isn't for everybody, in fact the theatre we went to was full of teenage geeky boys that kept yelling "That. Was. Awesome!" every time someone got blown up. So that was annoying, and it didn't help that the theatre smelled like BO!

It's very gory so I would definitely not let any child see this show! If you do go see it, you must go with an open mind to enjoy it.

Blindness

Dude, this movie was wacked! (Do I sound cool there? I'm trying to earn street cred with the teens ya know.)

In the movie, civilization is threatened with an outbreak of blindness. People start to panic and the government begins to quarantine those people who have been diagnosed with this odd disease.

While being quarantined, the ugly truth of human nature is revealed through heinous acts by blind individuals in order to survive. It's pretty shocking of how the movie depicts the world in this crisis.

As the whole world goes blind, there is one woman who is immune to the disease and continues to see. She witnesses the downfall and horrible impact that this blindness has on the world.

This movie is slow moving at first and is really out there so you have to watch it with an open mind and of course you have to find the meaning behind the whole concept.

Defiance

The hubster and I both loved this movie. It's kind of like a disturbing Robin Hood film. It takes place during the Holocaust and is based on true events of a few brothers who help other Jews find safety.

Public Enemies

Alex and I saw this Monday night, the best night to watch an R rated movie because you know nobody is having family night there. I loved this movie! Lots of action for the guys and plenty of Johnny goodness for the girls!

Why, in an almost empty theatre, do people have to come sit RIGHT NEXT TO ME? Stepping on my purse in the process?

True Blood

So I've been reading Charlene Harris's vampire series and have been dying to watch the HBO series that was created from the books.

I think this is the first time ever that I like the movie/tv series better than the book! I wasn't sure I would like the girl who plays Sookie, the main character, but after watching the first few episodes I think she fits perfectly.

Y'all should watch it! And I say y'all cause they talk with an accent. My hubster was watching a little bit of it with me and said,

"Who would have thought of a hill billy vampire movie."

Hmm, who woulda thunk it!

Bag Head

This film was very cheaply made for the Sundance Film Fesitval, it was probably inspired by the Blair Witch Project. It's about four people that are trying to wip up a film for a similar film festival and the wackiness that ensues with the ideas they come up with and the consequences of those ideas.

It's not about much and for anyone who hasn't seen many Sundance Film Festival movies, this one is probably not for you!

Slumdog Millionaire

I loved this movie! It's about an illiterate slum kid from Mumbai who becomes a contestant on the local version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and just blows people away with what he knows.

The movie flashes back to this guys childhood and shows how he new some of the answers to the show's questions and also how he got on the show in the first place. It's a sweet movie with humor, heartbreak. Alex and I both loved it.
