This movie is about a woman who has a maid service business but decides that where the real money lies is to clean up after dead bodies. So she starts cleaning up after crime scenes with her sister. I really liked it! It sounds weird I know, but it's actually really charming and funny.
I loved it!

Project Runway Season 6

I love Project Runway! I hope this season is as good as all the others. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that they moved from Bravo to the Lifetime network, but the show is still the same so I don't care!
Any other Project Runway fans out there? Maybe we'll get another Santino this season eh?
One can only hope! (Or pray)

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!

Obsessed

Guys. Seriously, this movie sucks. It's just another stalker movie where you know what's gonna happen before it happens. Ali Larter's character is completely unbelievable.
Don't waist your time.

Push

I wanted to see this movie because Dakota Fanning is in it. It's so weird to watch her grow up and have these adult roles! The movie however wasn't that great.
The Plot: The world is full of people with special super natural powers. There is an organization called The Division, that is trying to find these people so that they can create a huge army of super natural beings. So the movie is basically the day to day fight between the Division and these super naturals.
I think it was pretty confusing, there was way to much crap going. Plus there were these annoying Screamers who's power was to scream really loud to destroy things. Talk about annoying!
So I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless you want to waist 2 hours of your life.

The Goods

This movie is about a Car Salesman who hires this group of "Car Movers" to come and help them sell out their car lot.
Yes, it's about as interesting as it sounds. It was a pretty stupid movie and a waste of time. There were maybe 2 funny parts in which Will Ferrell made a guest appearance but that's all.
Lame.

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.

17 Again

It's a good thing Zac Efron really isn't in High School or else I'd be in trouble. He is so cute and funny in this movie! I was surprised by how funny the movie turned out to be, I thought it'd be one of those cheesy everyone learns a lesson movies. And well, even though everyone learned a lesson, it was not cheesy.
My favorite line is when Zac Efron (Who is playing a 40 year old inside his 17 year old self) goes back to high school and when he walks into gym class he says:
"Wow! We are all in such good shape!"
Efron seriously did an awesome job at this role. I didn't fall in love with him in High School Musical but I did in this one.
Shit.

So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 Finale!

SPOILER ALERT!
Oh my gosh I'm in love with this show! I want to marry it and have little dancing SYTYCD babies! Or at least hump it.
The finale was awesome! I was so happy Janine won, I was rooting for her! Seriously when she dances I can't keep my eyes off of here! Kaiyla is my second favorite and I think she was robbed! Evan should have been fourth, we all know it's true. 
Kaiyla is just amazing, I mean check out the picture below! Look at those feet, I would die to have those arches! She should be a ballerina, she'd be awesome in toe shoes!
(No I am not overdoing it with exclamation marks, SYTYCD deserves every single one!)
My two favorite choreographers, Sonya Tayeh & Mia Michaels. These women are amazing. Does anyone else think that when Sonya was on the judging panel during the auditions that watching the dancers was giving her orgasms? I'm serious, did you see her? Yep, she was. Not that I blame her, I'm just jealous.

Knowing

This is a thriller about a professor who comes across some predictions about the future and he sets out to stop these predictions from happening. The predictions come from a piece of paper that his son receives from a time capsule sealed 50 years ago at his school.
I liked the idea of the movie and thought it was really good up until the end. The end was horrible and unbelievable. I hate it when directors take a great idea that has potential and the poop on 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.

Hounddog

Starring Dakota Fanning (love her!) this movie is about a young girl living in the slums with a dead beat dad. She is in love with Elvis and will do anything to get a ticket to his concert. The events that unfold are shocking and saddening as she continues to make the most out of her poor life.

X Weighted

Debbie from Daisy Halos introduced me to this show and now I've got it set on my DVR. It's a weight loss show that features a new person each episode and tells of their struggle to lose weight and to change their lives.
Very inspiring!

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?

Chuck

My brother was telling me about this show and how funny it was so I decided to try it out. It is way funny! It's about this guy Chuck who received an email with all the government "secrets" that were permanently embedded in his brain. So the CIA now uses him with their endeavors. The CIA agent is a girl, Sara, who is posing as Chuck's girlfriend.
A little confusing I know, but just watch it, it really does make sense!

This is a very dangerous show for me to watch, it never fails to make me want a cupcake! The cakes this guy comes up with are seriously amazing! He can do anything. And it's always entertaining when stuff goes wrong and the boss gets angry.
It also makes me want to take cake decorating classes, wouldn't that be fun?

Valkyrie

I was a little concerned when the movie first started because it was all in German with English subtitles, but then it switched to English. Thank God because you know I just HATE reading ;)
I did enjoy the movie, which is strange because I don't really like war or history movies. It wasn't action packed like I thought it would be but it was suspenseful, and of course the ending is sad but what movie about Hitler wouldn't be sad?

Revolutionary Road

The only reason I wanted to see this show was because it was Jack and Rose back together again! (Titanic, hello?)
It was just okay for me, a little on the slow boring side so it didn't keep my attention. Maybe if I wouldn't have been cooking while it was on in the other room I would have liked it more!
Sorry for such a sucky review, that's all I got. Guess I need to watch it again.

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!

The Hangover

Went to this movie with the hubs on Monday night. Yes it is hilarious and yes it is crude! There were some parts where I was laughing so hard, and other parts where I was like "Did he really just say that?"
The best part of the whole movie was at the end where they showed the pictures of what actually happened while they were in Vegas. Oh my god those pictures are so funny!

Gossip Girl

Ok, I didn't want to watch this show because the name just put me off. Gossip Girl? Come on, could we be a little more original please?
But I heard it was good so I gave it a try and I'm hooked! There is a website in the show called Gossip Girl where all the dirt is shared on a bunch of high school students in New York. Hence the name. It's like OC with all the rich high school students but 10 times better and less fake.

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!

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.
