My hubby and I watched a movie tonight when we got back, it was Good Intentions. I will have to say I didn’t pay a whole lot attention to it. I thought it was pretty good. The language wasn’t to harsh and it had a okay plot. The guys wife kept deciding to rob her husband or something. I do not know many woman who would keep robbing the same person but you know some criminals are dumb as door nails.
It must not have been entertaining enough since I don’t recall a whole lot about it. Oh well.. I was doing other things while watching it. I think it seemed like a good movie if I wasn’t looking for the best weight loss diet pills on market for some one. My husband seemed to enjoy it, so I guess thats what really counts, if he likes it.

Last night was movie night, hubby likes movies a lot, I am not one who likes it but I will go with him. Just to make him happy, funny he hardly goes hiking with me to make me happy, maybe this summer I am going to be get deet on and lets go do something I enjoy. But lets do a KVM switch back to the movie, Lovely Bones. My hubby told me one the way home that the director of this movie was the same one who did Lord of the Rings, and he hasn’t done much since done, he started and stop projects. Well I think I know why he hasn’t done much since Lord of the Rings, because not many good movies have came out, he does well at picking good movies with out a bunch of language and violent scenes are done tastefully or as tasteful as possible.
Lovely Bones was about a 14 yr old girl who was murdered by her neighbor, I guess he enjoyed killing people. She was involved in school and the typical well behaved child, who sometimes didn’t get along with her parents, but it seemed she had a better relationship them most children her age. Well neighbor guy built a trap but I won’t say where or what kind of trap and got her done there. The scene lift your imagination to figure out what exactly happened to her, but you knew he killed her. I will say here heaven is nothing like the real heaven. I don’t think G-d would make a murder victim have to meet all the people he killed in the way they was killed. But it was still good. It was sad in some places.
She had to pick between revenge on the guy or healing for her family, this would be hard to choose from because being murdered is a great violation to the person and I think most would want revenge for a time. I know I probably would, but in the movie it showed that revenge wasn’t hers. In a way I am glad it showed this, because so many Hollywood movies are about gaining the revenge and having no consequences.
I will have to say that this is the best movie I have ever seen in this type of movie. It was done tastefully. In the end when his other victims where given names, and faces it was done tastefully and you learned exactly what kind of murder he was. I will admit my husband and I both felt more revenge then what the guy got in the end would have been nice or seeing what some of his death was like would have been nice, but honestly the movie was not about what he deserve but more of the story of the child family.
I would not recommend this movie for young children. Seriously new parents stop bring your crying babies to movies find a sitter that what they are for.

Today my husband and I watch Frank. It was a good little movie at first I was worried it wouldn’t be that good of a movie because it has a slightly slow start. It about this family who goes on vacation to their summer house which they hadn’t been for a while. I guess the mother grew up on the island, it reminded me of a part of WA but I am not sure where it was. There was a animal on the loose causing trouble and damage, no one knew what it was and they did the assume it was some wild beast.
The father had some issues he was a net freak and when he clean he really played the role good. He fixed the kids toilet I wonder if it was a spring plungers.
There was 2 kids in the family, and at first they didn’t want to be on this island until they found the ugly dog. They ended up moving to the island because of the dog, which was sweet but like any family going to really do that. The dog favorite pass time was chewing up the dads slippers.
I would recommend this movie for families, it had no language.

There are very few movies I enjoy and wouldn’t mind seeing it twice in the theater, just don’t tell my hubby this. Ops I guess he might figure it out since he reads my blogs sometimes. Yesterday we went to Star Trek, to be honest we were a little worried about going because lately our enjoyment of movies in the theater hasn’t been enough, many movies we have walked out of feeling annoyed and like it just wasn’t that good to see. Hubby and I decided to try this weekend and were worried we might end up having to walk out because many producers or directors decide bad language gets the message across better then anything else, when it doesn’t really work.
I do not think there was a boring moment in Trek, it was really good and entertianing. I thought the spin they took on the story was cool and interesting, it worked well, it wasn’t like they were trying to copy the orginal Star Trek, and their ideas come off interesting.
I would not recommend this for young children but teenagers with parents would be okay there is some language and some other things for a bit of older group with out parents. It wasn’t gory or anything even though they had a lot of action, there were a few intense places but not at all over the top. I think Spok character was good along with Kirk, and the twist on the story was cool. There was a few funny parts, like when Kirk was talking a test eating a apple it seemed so unreal but it was funny. Overall I thought the graphics were great, and how they did the history was interesting.
I wounder if we will ever be able to get background check as quickly was they were able to in Star Trek just a couple of minutes and have all the info you could want on a person, boy something like that could save families of elders many headaches.

I have to say I am one of those who hated it, so did my husband. To be honest we were very disappointed in this movie and Marvel Works. My husband and I walked out within a hour of the movie, which is not good odds. My husband and I wanted to see it, now we regret it. When we told the staff at the threater we didn’t like it at all, they said it’s one of those were people either hate it or love it.
I think my hubby and I had more trouble with the language then anything else. As with every movie we don’t like their are some good parts, what those are I am not sure. This movie was set in the cold war, and I guess Nixon was supposed to have many more terms then allowed to any president, so most of the furniture looked from that time.There was some violent part but I think for the most they handled it okay for the most.
I wouldn’t recommend this as a good family movie, because of the language and voilence in it. I would say under 17 shouldn’t be watching it with out a parent.

I will say my husband and I have two different taste in comedies. This one I didn’t like much, good thing I was doing my homework while watching it. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t my type of movie.
At first it seems more of a insult on conservative people, but in the end it more toward the liberal sect of the United States.
What I dislike is they didn’t use anyone from middle eastern descent which they should of, and they where kind of insulting toward them. Plus I didn’t like the fact that it seemed they where just picking on them during the whole movie. Okay yes we have been terrorized but that doesn’t mean every single muslim is a terrorist. Yes I agree we have forgot about 9/11 and I believe our President has forgotten about it and doesn’t understand what has happened there, or at least he doesn’t act like it. 9/11 is something many Americans have forgotten about, and we aren’t as safe as we think we are, that something we learned than, well maybe some of us learned it. Personally I wouldn’t want to talk to terrorist with out some type of agreement being made before hand. But that me…. I guess this movie is trying to show that.
One of my more favorite parts was when they had the angel of death come to Micheal in his dreams, kind of the christmas carol spin on it.
I personally wouldn’t have choice this movie for watching but my husband likes movie like this. There where no strikes in it which is good and that earns some points in my book. This movie does a good job at making fun of liberals who think we are all safe, I will give them points for that. I do not think this movie shines any light on anything of use to be honest maybe they should have gotten more discount lighting.

I have heard many reviews about this movie, before I went and saw it. I have read of all Stephanie books on from this series. Twilight was done okay as far as movies, and I liked it. There was no real langauge and for the most the people who wrote or directed the movie did a fairly good job of keeping within the spirit of the story.
I will say they did some things I didn’t much care for like introducing Jacob to Bella a lot sooner then the book introduced them to each other. They rushed Bella and Edwards relationship but honestly how focused can you get with a 2 hour movie when there is a lot of stuff to cover in such a short time, so I think their speed eventhough it was faster then I would have liked it to be was probably about the right pace for their romance.
The fight sceen wasn’t as long as I thought it was in the book and I thought in the book Bella was a lot more injured then she appeared in the movie, but come on it what a PG13 movie, so how voilent do we want it to get. Lets face it this movie is geared toward young adult/ teens so it’s best to keep it safe.
I appreciated the fact that they kept Bella pure. I would recommend this as a good date night movie. My husband and I enjoyed it on the maga screen. As I said a few scenes I would have liked to see more of but other wise I found it enjoyable. I did not go in with the expectation it would be like the book.
I pictured Edwards house a little different, Boy I like to see their credit card article on making this movie. I know that it seems that they broke the record this year. If you have read the book like me and aren’t so tied into everything must be exactly the same this will be a enjoyable movie.

I will say this movie is one of the worst vampire movies I have ever seen. Boy, I not being nice today on my reviews. I will say we have 6 of the 8 movies hubby got to review done and this is a good thing. I have seen other shows and movies do a far better job of creating vampires. Brotherhood of Blood wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great, it’s not really a scary movie neither and has a lot of blood but not so much that it seems like it just gore but there is still a lot of blood.
I will say their mythology is a little different then what I am used to, I am used to the vampire jaw appearing normal until they decide it’s time to bite the person. I would say that even TRUBLOOD did better at creating their vampires then this movie did. Even to go back further BUFFY and ANGEL did better with their vampires and they are very old show with less technology then there is presently. The vampire teeth in this movie looked dall and to big.
There was a group of vampire hunters, I thought a vampire and hunter had another messy relationship and sure I was right. The vampire hunters looked for vampires and had their head quarters they had some security systems that looked like it would have worked great if it wasn’t so old. There house was broke into by the vampires, they captured one and did some torturing of him. It wasn’t to horrible.
There mythology was strange on how you contract vampirism, it was you had to be bite, all mythology I am familair with is that the vampire and victim had to trade blood at least once some are more. Some require the person to be totally drained almost then trade so not sure what these guys where thinking but okay maybe it’s another myth that not a well known one.
Do I recommend watching it not really, but it not horrible so I guess if someone wants to more power to them. I haven’t given away the end of the movie or anything. Considering in every movie with the vampire hunter there always a relationship that messed up.

I will say this movie was not worth it’s weight in salt. Last night my husband and I tried to watch ” The Last House in the Woods. I will say this isn’t viewing for a sensitive viewer. This movie from the start was very violent and graphic. I would say that they went over board.
The first sceen of the movie was a man and wife with their son, riding home, they hit a tree dad died. The mom went to try to call for help with her son, and a car came, she sent her son to hide in the woods this was probably wise of her to do or he would have been hit too. She was hit by the van intentionally. After she was hit the man came out and she was still a live so he bashed her head in with a rock. Then stuck her in the van, the kid saw all this, okay that was intense.
We kept it on through that, and watched it a little longer.
Be warned there is a Rape sceen which was not told about on the box of this movie. I think something like this needs to be put on the box considering the rape was very violent I will not talk about that sceen. About 5 minutes of that Scene I couldn’t take it anymore and had to turn off the movie.
I wouldn’t recommend this movie for anyone. This isn’t a good lets get scared this is a movie of simply gore and no creative planning. This was an unrated movie, sometimes unrated is okay but for the most it’s not. I would have recommended a rating of NC17, with a warning on violence.

I think this is a foreign film actually I am positive it is. Room 205 seems to be about a college dorm room which is haunted by the girl in the mirror who gets released. This isn’t a very scary movie, and I am surprised it was rated R. I was surprised my husband and I watch it all the way through and not once did it hit a strike in our rules.
The person who I was thinking would be the most likely victim wasn’t a victim I was glad she wasn’t but she was fairly tramatized by the ghost. They would see the future in the mirror, or at least that they would die or something. It was strange because this girl was more suseptable to seeing this ghost.
It had some of the typical college guy girl stuff, and showed how sometimes men will act toward a girl after they do it, but frankly she should have never done anything with him, I think she might have realized this because of how she acted afterwards. The dorm played a prank on her and she broke the bathroom mirror realizing the ghost who was wanting revenge for what had happened to her. It didn’t come clear until toward the end of the movie why she was there causing trouble. A good portion of the main characters had this ghost revenge taken out on them but it looked like the ghost thing happened to her a long time ago. How horrible, I will say they where very tasteful in the sceen and didn’t show to much of it. I was glad because that the last thing I want to see or read about.
I wouldn’t say this movie is a keeper but it might be a good halloween movie if your not interested in Gore or gross stuff. I probably will never watch this movie again it good for maybe watching one time.
