Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for slap-stick, but this wasn’t even that funny. Scary movie was MUCH better, heck, Scary Movie 2 was much better… I dunno, it just wasn’t funny, relied too much on potty humor or something. ====Description:Skewering the gooey romantic comedy formula, this over-the-top spoof from the minds behind the [...]
I’m not feeling well today so I spent a few hours on the sofa chilling out and Tom and the kids came in, so we watched Zathura. Very cute movie. Jamie thought it was AWESOME (he’s 5) and Cassie got a little bored with it (and nearly jumped out of her skin at one point, [...]
I LOVE Steve Martin. There I said it. I can’t really think of anything he’s made that I didn’t like. Not a lot of huge laughs in this one, but it’s sufficiently funny and touching to rate 4 stars from me. Seeing how much “fun” these guys have with TWELVE children almost makes me want [...]
I don’t want to give too much of the plot line away, so I’ll let the description speak for itself, but this was a really well-made movie… it does move a little slow at first and it took a while before I realized what was going on… very well done. ====Description:It’s Mother’s Day weekend in [...]
This movie was really good for about 30 minutes, then it just kind of meandered along like it wasn’t sure what it was supposed to do next. The concept is interesting… what if your family was based on The Graduate… good idea, just somewhere along there it got lost… I’ve never actually seen/read The Graduate… [...]
This was really funny – very over-the-top, yes, but great for when you want something light to watch and just kind of veg. Nice, funny and timely with all the Enron-esque scandals of the recent past… 4 stars. ====Description:Stick ‘em up! After losing their high-paying corporate jobs, Jane and Dick Harper (Jim Carrey and Tea [...]
I watched this one with my sister and husband. We didn’t “get it”… I consider myself a pretty smart person, but even after reading the “spoilers”, I’m still not sure I understand how they got the “meaning” from the movie itself. Don’t get me wrong, it was a really… REALLY well done movie… very well [...]
Spoilers ahead… After all the hoopla from the Oscars or whatever and then an article I read where Ms Proulx was interviewed then the lawsuite by Dennis Quaid (who’s part was so small, I almost missed him), I guess I expected this ground-breaking film. In some ways, maybe it was. Having said that, I think [...]
This movie moves SO slow. I’m not sure if that’s an accurate statement or if it just seemed slow because we already knew the outcome and they tried to make it feel suspenseful. Hoffman does a great job of playing Capote, very believable! I just felt bored. Read his book though – In Cold Blood [...]
Okay, I know I’m a math nerd and I’m supposed to like this one, but it was a really really good movie. I’m NOT a Gwyneth Paltrow fan, but even I must admit that she did an amazing job with this film. There is so much going on – it’s about a mathmatical proof and [...]
