The Kids Are All Right
Aug 1, 10

When I purchased my ticket the counter girl asked me "You know what this movie is about...right?". I giggled and said yes. I'm wondering how many people thought this was The Who documentary and got surprised when they learned it was about a lesbian couple who had 2 children via sperm donation.

Julianne Moore and Annette Bening were great as Jules and Nic. They both used the same sperm donor and gave birth to Joni and Laser. Yep..his name was Laser and I think that's kick ass!! Anyway....Joni and Laser decided to find their sperm donor. It's Mark Ruffalo. The movie just shows the ups and downs of their now strange family dynamic and a few twist and turns that as a viewer I saw coming a mile away!

It left me wanting to know a little more at the end of the movie but other than that I enjoyed it.

I was so excited that the Santikos Silverado in little ole Tomball Texas was showing this movie. They have been showing the smaller independent movies for at least a week and as soon as I see the movie times I pounce!

I really wanted to see this movie and I'm glad I did. Marisa Tomei, Jonah Hill and John C Reilly were all great in this movie. Its about Molly (Tomei) who meets John (Reilly) at a party and they start dating. The wrench in the bicycle spoke is of course Molly's son Cyrus played by Hill. Reilly and Hill were great together

I really don't know how to describe this movie. It was a little comedy and a little drama. I really enjoyed it. I'm also glad to see Jonah Hill in this type of role. I'm glad he won't be spending his whole career making 'vag-jokes'.

Letters to Juliet

Letters to Juliet
June 2010

I remember the first time I saw this movie trailer and in those 2 minutes it somehow hit me in the heart at the right spot and I just started to cry. I'm not sure if it was the combination of the love story and Taylor Swift song or maybe it was the correct time of the month but I whispered to my friend through my tears "I have to see that movie".

I'm a sucker for a stereo-typical love story. I took my mom to this movie and she loved it. I thought it was charming. No spoiler alerts needed for this movie. You know what will happen.

Cute date movie.
Since it took me so long to write this ts already off the theaters so when it comes out on dvd rent it with a sweetie and have a sweet night.

(midnight show)

I loved this tv show as a kid! When I found out there was a movie coming out I will admit that I got excited!! Now I do know that tv shows from the 80's were totally cheesy and I didn't expect much from the movie besides just being entertained and that's exactly what I got.

No one is going to win an oscar for this movie but you will get some laughs from it. It's a typical summer movie with lots of one liners and explosions. I loved the cast in this movie. Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Rampage Jackson and Sharlto Copley were a great fit. Copley, which you may remember as Wikus from District 9, stole the show in my opinion. Good popcorn movie to start off the summer movie season! I forgot to mention that Bradley Cooper has some shirtless scenes in this movie. I take back the comment about no one winning a oscar...Bradley's pecs and abs should be nominated and win for best supporting cast member!!

Get Him To The Greek

Get Him To The Greek

I think this was the first real comedy I saw this year and it was worth the wait! Now...I know you think this is the continuing story from Forgetting Sarah Marshall but its not (even though Jonah Hill was in FSM). The only cross over character is Aldous Snow.

Jonah Hill's character, Aaron, works for a music company owned by Sergio, Puff Daddy-P Diddy-Puffy-Sean John whatever his name is..y'all know who I'm talking about! Puff Daddy was superb in this movie! One of my favorite characters. He was hilarious! He made me laugh out loud! He was a joy to watch! Maybe he found a new calling..a comedic actor!!

Well we all know how Aldous Snow is and Aaron has to get him from the UK to LA. I think I might even put this in a buddy-buddy movie category.

Great movie! Go watch it! Laugh!

Iron Man 2

Iron Man 2

May 9, 10

It's a sequel so I am going to take it easy on Tony Stark. I thought Iron Man was a strong action packed movie and I was expecting a lot out of its sequel. It didn't disappoint (that much). I loved Mickey Rourke in this movie as Whip Lash. Besides his face, that man has a killer body for being almost 60 years old. Ugh...I didn't know he was 58 until just a second before I typed that last sentence. I think I drooled over a grandpa's chest and abs. I am going to go sit in the corner and think about Nick Jonas and his 17 year old body to help me recover. brb

Ok...I'm better now. IM2....it was ok. I didn't run out of the theaters telling everyone I know to go see it. I actually think you can wait for dvd unless you are a huge fan. Make sure you watch past all the credits to see what's next in The Avengers series!

How To Train Your Dragon

How To Train Your Dragon (3D - IMAX)

April 2010

This was a fantastic movie! Since the Academy Awards bumped the nominees for Best Picture to 10, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being nominated. I know it's a cartoon and you might think that all cartoon are made for kids but please don't pass up this movie for that reason. It's great and if you think about it most jokes in cartoon movies go over the heads of the kids and the adults are the ones that laugh!

Hiccup, the son of a viking, has to be the sweetest character. You fall in love with him immediately. I don't want to ruin the movie for you so I won't go into anymore detail on the trials and tribulations between Hiccup and his strong viking father but it's totally worth the watch.

This is one of the top 10 movies I've seen so far in 2010!
