Says it all in the name doesn't it?
But it was pretty funny. I love Seth, he is hilarious. Plus it's kinda a cute story in the end!

Passengers

You're gonna wanna pay attention in this one. Of course I was running around doing dishes and laundary while I watched it so I had to rewind it and watch it twice.
It's one of those twisty movies ya know? Not sure if I like the twist at the end though. What do you think?

Terminator Salvation

I wasn't expecting too much going into this show but I was surprised I really liked it. The plot wasn't really clear but that's not why you go see terminator right? You go for the action, and there was plenty of it!
I don't remember ever seeing any of the old Terminator movies so now I kinda wanna go back and watch them all to see if it helps this last one make sense!

Parks and Recreation

Yes this show is definately funny, but I can't help but notice it's just a knock off of the office. I still watch it though, hoping I'll get sucked into it like I did with the Office and 30 Rock.
I still like The Office and 30 Rock better.

Gran Torino

So I didn't see the whole thing, I fell asleep 20 minutes into the movie so you'll have to ask my husband if it was good.

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

This was my Sunday "Movie Mocha Morning" and I loved it. And not just because there is ballet throughout the whole show, the acting is great! (The dancing is even better)
This kind of show has got to be hard to pull of, but they did it. It's one of those story telling shows with a little surprising twist at the end.
It is darling.

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!

State Of Play

Good movie! It's about a reporter who tries to solve the mysterious death of a congressman's mistress. The congressman and the reporter are friends with a rocky history that complicates things during the investigation. Unexpected twists and a surprise ending sum the movie up nicely.
You'll like it.

18 Kids And Counting

Have you seen this show? This family is seriously crazy! They don't let their children watch TV, the mother home schools ALL 18 kids, all their names start with the letter 'J', the father's name is Jim Bob, the girls will cover the younger boys eyes if they see an immodestly dressed girl walking down the street, they don't let their children date until they are engaged and even then they have to be chaperoned, and they can't kiss until their married!
Looks like their oldest son and his wife have been doing a lot more than just kissing now that their married!
Yep, they are now getting a grandchild!

Yes, it's a sad movie but it is so good! You have to see it. I love how you don't quite get what's going on until the very end of the show. Those are my favorite endings.

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.

Thelma and Louise

This is actually the first time I've seen this movie. Everyone references this show so I thought it's about time I watched it. It was really good, I can see how it had a lasting affect on people and how women can really relate to it.
It's funny, it's dramatic and the acting is fantastic!
I loved the ending too, I was just kind of like...did that just happen?

Sideways

Love this movie. I've seen it before but after seeing bottle shock I wanted to watch Sideways again. It's about a depressed wine connoisseur, Miles, who takes a bachelor trip with his friend, Jack, to the wine country before Jack gets married.
The show has a lot of talk about wine and this wine slob hates Merlot. The movie Merlove was made after Sideways to kind of stand up for Merlot.
Favorite line of this movie (censored):
Jack: "If they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot."
Miles: "No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any Effing Merlot!

Bottle Shock

This movie is based on a true story in 1976 about the winery Chateau Montelena that was started by Jim Barrett. His son Bo is a hippie who works for him at the winery which is struggling financially and causes a lot of contention between father and son.
The plot includes how a wine connoisseur from France comes to California to find the best wines to take back with him to compete in a blind wine tasting against Paris wines. If you like wine and are interested in all the complexities of how it is made, then you will enjoy this show.
For those who are not into wine, the show still has a good plot with a love story for the girls and some fighting for the guys. Me? I liked it and found it interesting about how this winery functions.

Center Stage - Turn It Up

Wasn't as good as the first one. This one did not have as much ballet dancing, it was more of a hip hop movie. Don't get me wrong, I love hip hop dancing too, but I wanted more ballet! The main chick was a good hip hop dancer but she sucked at ballet, which bugged me!
Her feet just dangled from her legs instead of being pointed and beveled. Eeww, I couldn't stand to watch her do ballet. But the other dancers were amazing! And like every dance movie, the plot was just so-so which is what I was expecting and I'm okay with because I just watch it for the dancing!
Oh and the finale in the first Center Stage was just amazing! And this one? Not so much.

Rachel Getting Married

Ok, Anne Hathaway is not Rachel. Anne Hathaway is not the one getting married.
I was confused for the first 15 minutes because I thought she was Rachel.
Ok, this movie is not for everyone but I liked it. It's a real movie where you have to think and dig deep to really understand and appreciate it.
My husband hated it. So it may not be for guys. The movie portrays Anne Hathaway in a very different role than her usual hollywood sugar gumdrop roles. I loved her in this! It was depressing at times but the ending was great and tied everything up with a nice happy bow.

I Love You, Man

Saw this over the weekend with the hubs and Ken & Andrea. It was definately a snicker movie. For some reason I thought this was going to be a chick flick, maybe because it had something to do with a wedding. But a chick flick it was not.
Hubs and I liked it, there were a lot of funny parts. Go see it!

Kill Bill Vol. I

I attempted to watch this movie a few years ago when it first came out but I just wasn't expecting all the violence so I turned it off. It was on TV the other day so I thought I'd give it another shot.
I first learned about the two part movie when I took a film class in college a few years ago so I was always curious about it. The director, Quentin Tarantino, also wrote and directed Pulp Fiction so film critics were pretty excited about Kill Bill coming out.
Was it good? It was okay, a little too violent for me but I loved Lucy Lou and Uma Thurman fight scenes, they were awesome! Will I see the second one? Probably, if it shows on TV again.

MILK

This was a pretty good show, but when I found it a little boring. When I watched it I really was more in the mood to be entertained, not to learn something. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE shows that have a message, but my brain was tired when I watched it so it was a bit boring to me.
I LOVE Sean Penn, I think he is such a good actor. Especially in I Am Sam, he broke my heart in that show! He does amazing in this show too!
The show has a good message and hey, it's history. Movies are the only way I learn about history!

Toddlers & Tiaras

I just started watching this one hoping to see those crazy beauty contestant mothers that freak out back stage. Well there have been a few of those but not as dramatic as I wanted. I've only seen a coupld episodes and I can't believe some of the things these kids do to win these things, or their mothers do to them!
Has anyone else seen this? What do you think?

Ya know...I love scary movies but why can't they make ones that aren't so cheesy? They all start out with so much potential and then they just get corny! This one is a perfect example of that.

Alex and I LURV the Simpsons! It's such a quotable show.
Funny story, Alex has Simpsons checks and one time we were at Wal Mart checking out and the cashier girl noticed Alex was writing one of his Simpson's checks. She says, "Wow, you've gotta have a very nice wife to let you have Simpson's checks!"
Like The Simpsons is some evil show! I think she was a polygamist, most people are at that Wal Mart.

The Secret Life of Bees
This is the best book to film adaptation I've ever seen. Maybe it's because I read the book a while ago so it wasn't fresh in my mind, but the movie definately delivered.
I actually think it made a better movie then book. When I read the book I remember thinking that some parts just dragged on and on so the movie squished everything together which made it better in my opinion.
Plus it has all our favorite girls! Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifa, Alicia Keyes, and Jennifer Hudson!

Saw this with Big Al on V-day, I know we are a very romantic couple! Overall it was pretty good. It was very slow at the beginning but then there is this action scene that totally makes up for it! Wow, it's crazy. But the end didn't really satisfy because nothing ever got resolved.

Confesssions of a Shopaholic

Worst. Movie. Ever.
Seriously, I went with Talicia and Andrea and they bout died too. Actually at one point Andrea leaned over to me and said that she wanted to die right there.
Talking mannequins? Seriously? Come on! Now I'm not a fan of chick flicks at all, but this wasn't even cute and, according to Talicia, the fashion Goddess, the fashion was not good either.
Blah! Don't waist your time.
