The Princess and the Frog (2009)
2010-02-07 08:26
I'm not sure what to say about this other than that it's your typical Disney movie. Yes there's been a lot of talk about the first black princess, but beyond that it's nothing out of the ordinary. It was cute, it was funny at points, it was everything you expect from a Disney story. I enjoyed myself while I was watching it, but I found myself missing the day of the older Disney films like the Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. The kind of films that you just love with a passion and can sing all the words to even 10-20 years later. Perhaps it was because I was younger and fell more in love with them at the time, but I think I'd still enjoy The Little Mermaid more than this one. I did enjoy myself watching it but I don't even remember any of the songs now, and I don't feel a burning desire to watch it again. It wasn't bad at all and I'm glad I went but as far as Disney films go, there are much better out there.

This movie got a lot of hype and I think a lot of people felt it didn't live up to it. After reading some reviews I thought it wasn't worth watching, but my friend and I decided to check it out during a scary movie night. I think that for what appears to be quite a low budget film, it does a fantastic job of building up tension and getting you to freak yourself out. There were points where I was almost twitching because I was so nervous, expecting something to move or jump out suddenly. So in that respect I think the film reached it's goals. That said, there were a lot of parts that I found incredibly boring. I hated the 'Blair Witch" hand held camera style, even though I understand why it was necessary. We ended it up having to turn it off part way through because my friend was suffering from motion sickness due to the constant panning of the camera. I was relieved to turn it off for two reasons. Firstly, because I was freaking myself out, which was funny because not a lot actually HAPPENED in the film. Secondly, because while I was feeling jumpy, I was also quite bored and wasn't enjoying the film. I looked up the ending online to find out what happened and groaned. Another thing that bothered me, and I know this is probably intended, but I couldn't stand Mikah. I realize he is meant to be annoying, but they may have gone a bit too far with it.
Not something I'd ever watch again, nor would I recommend it to friends.

Turned it off after approximately 3 minutes, or whenever "Amy Winehouse" arrived. Not a fan of spoof type movies but some I can handle, this was not one of them. My husband usually enjoys them though, and he disliked it as much as I did.

Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009)
2010-02-01 12:23
I went to see this movie with a friend, hoping for something light hearted and fun after seeing Precious, Brothers and Where the Wild Things are. It was exactly what the doctor ordered! SJP and HG have great chemistry and the story was cute and funny.
It's disappointing that this film has only a 3.2 on IMDB but I suspect it's from the cynical SJP / HG haters or people who foolishly expected a romantic comedy to be more than exactly that, a romantic comedy.
I enjoyed it a lot, so did my friend. I'll definitely watch it again!

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
2010-01-27 23:42
How can I describe this movie? Horrible? Boring? Dull? Confusing? ... did I say boring? Perhaps there is more enjoyment to be had if you read the book as a child, but I didn't. I hated it. I more than hated it. I hated it so bad I'm thinking of devoting my life to inventing a time machine so I can go back in time and tell my 2 weeks ago self not to see it. I am not overly critical of movies, and I will accept anything that keeps me even mildly entertained. I wanted this movie to be over 10 minutes after it started, and that feeling never went away.

If you are easily entertained like I am, you will enjoy this movie. I went in without too many expectations, expecting a cute and funny film that didn't delivery much other than an hour and a half of fun. John Travolta and Robin Williams work well together and Seth Green made a great sidekick. There were a few moments that really made me laugh, and one that made me squeal with laughter until I cried. That was good enough for me.

I went into this movie thinking it was going to be something great. The reviews lead me to believe I was about to see a powerful and moving film. I can agree that it was powerful but it was slow, it dragged on in places and was far too long. The heavy hitting content doesn't let up and in the end I was left with a depressed feeling when I left. I can't say I think the movie sucks, but I wouldn't call it good either. I'm mostly confused about how I feel about it. I'm glad I saw it for myself but I won't watch it again.

Oh this movie was so ridiculous. In a good way I mean!! I left the theater going 'love it love it love it!!!". Ok, I agree with many of the haters who claim that the story has been done before. It HAS been done before... Fern Gully? The thing is though, I DO NOT CARE. Yes the storyline is familiar, but it's different characters, different people playing them and UNGODLY visuals.
This is going in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. It will be tough to beat

On it's own this is a great movie. It's funny, romantic and I LOVE Hilary Swank. Having read the book though, some of the differences irritated me. Parts that I found to be the most touching parts of the book were not in the movie at all. If you watch the movie and like it, definitely read the book, it's even better!

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)
2009-06-15 13:55
This movie is good as long as you don't take it too seriously. I think a LOT of women would get really irritated by the way it portrays women, but if you look past that and just try to see it as a few hours of light entertainment, it's ok. It's not a MUST SEE though, by any means.

It was SO weird seeing Robert Di Nero and Al Pacino in the same movie. It was quite good but it won't stick in my memory as one of their great ones. Any other actors probably could have played these roles and it almost didn't seem good enough for them. It's worth seeing though, as long as you don't have big expectations to match the names.

I usually don't like 'stupid-funny' movies but I really liked this one. There is just enough properly funny stuff in there to make up for the REALLY ridiculous humor. I was pleasantly surprised!

It was one of those slow and artsy fartsy movies that I generally don't like... but it was decent entertainment while quilting on a Sunday afternoon. Won't be running out to tell people they gotta see it.

Great movie, and not just because I love Edward Norton. It was sooo much better than the Hulk movie done back in 2003. It was gritty and exciting. I loved it!!

Your typical funny and easy to watch chick flick. I liked it, didn't love it, but liked it.

This was a good movie but not something you want to watch if you are looking for excitement. It was slow, and real... and mildly depressing.

It was sort of odd to see this movie as a film but I LOVED IT!! I dunno if I was just emotional that day or if it was just so great to see all the beloved characters again but I spent almost the whole movie trying not to cry, and mostly failing! It was like catching up with old friends... *sigh*

I hope it was historically accurate because it's the only thing I've ever really learned about the Boleyn girls. I really liked it quite a lot. I'd buy it.

This movie isn't one I'd say I loved but it was cute. I love Steve Carell, which is why I watched it. He was his usual brilliant self.

Loved it! I love Ryan Reynolds and I think he is just going to get better and better. Love the little girl too, AND the story. I'll be buying this one :)

Not very realistic but a decent movie if you have some time to waste. I hated the ending, not because of the ending but just that it didn't give me enough.
