Lymelife

Personal Effects

This show is about a guy (Ashton Kutcher) who's twin sister was murdered and how he is able to deal with the loss, the trial, and others involved. In a support group he meats a woman (Michelle Pfeiffer) who's husband was also murdered. They begin to spend time together and lean on each other for support.

I really liked this movie, especially because there were a few shocking moments. It may seem slow to some but I think it's slow on purpose to show that the characters are mourning their loved ones. The colors are muted with grayish, blueish tints which again set the mood perfectly.

So I recommend you see it, not necessarily to be entertained, but to be moved.

Gossip Girl Season 2 on DVD

Oh no she di'nt! It's so nice to have the Gossip Girl drama back in my life. This season EVERYONE is cheating on EVERYONE.

It's the best.

The Men Who Stare At Goats

This was such a disappointment! My husband and I had high expectations for this movie that weren't even close to being fulfilled. Such great actors waisted on such a boring, plotless film.

Come on, Kevin Spacey? George Clooney? Ewin McGregor? Jeff Bridges? I thought you all were smarter than that.

Especially you Mr. Spacey.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

I thought it was pretty stupid but I generally don't like chick flicks so I may be a little biased. The plot is similar to A Christmas Carol where Scrooge is visited by three ghosts but instead of Scrooge, it's Matthew McConaughhey and instead of ghosts its ex girlfriends.

So you already know the story line, plus it's chick flick so you already know how it is going to end. There, now you don't have to watch it.

Shrink

A therapist living in Hollywood who's clientele are all famous stars struggles to come to terms with his wife's death. Using marijuana, booze and cigarettes to get by, one wonders how can he help others if he can't even help himself?

I did enjoy this dark drama, I love Kevin Spacey and his performance did not disappoint! It is a slow moving show with psychological meanings behind everything so this is not for those looking for action or a good time. It requires you to think and to feel and if you can do that, then you will enjoy the movie too.

Modern Family

I watched this show for the first time last night and I cracked up! The gay couple makes me laugh, oh how I love my gays! I've now got it set on my DVR, I can't wait to show Albert.

Orphan

Spooky! Tori Spelling says so!

S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale

I don't even remember if I like Donnie Darko but I thought I'd try his little Sara out for a try. Meh. Maybe I just wasn't paying too much attention because I thought it was kinda boring. And just wierd.

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.

Grey's Anatomy - Season 6

Spoiler Alert!





007 dies and Izzy doesn't? I thought for sure Izzy was going to be killed off the show. I used to like her a lot but she's kinda buggin me without George there. I miss George and his quirkiness. We'll see how the rest of the season pans out.

Rescue Me - Season Two

I am in love with this show. I'm hooked, I've got all the seasons waiting in my Blockbuster queue.

Read about it here.

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.

Desperate Housewives Season 6

Susan and Mike are back together!!! Yay!!! Love this show, who doesn't love a neighborhood full of back stabbers? And guess who is the newest housewife this season:


The beautiful Angie Bolen from the Sopranos!

The Soup

Because it's so much fun making fun of people.

The Informant

Saw this on Friday with Kev and Andrea. We went to the 10:10 pm show so I was already a little tired when we started watching it, but about halfway through I started falling asleep.

It is a very slow moving show! It would probably be better to see this show at an earlier time. I though it was okay, I guess I was expecting something different because the reviews said it was really funny. There were definitely funny parts, but not like laugh out loud funny.

But I do agree with the reviews in that Matt Damon was amazing!

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.
