New Moon- Team Jacob from the start!

Absolutely amazing. Although it didn't cover enough of Jacob's relationship with Bella, was absolutely fantastic. Even in these tough economic times, $8.00 to see this movie is well worth it and then some. Although, Jacob could have left his shirt off a little more... :) LOL. This movie is very prone to spoilers, so I am limited at to what I can say, but it ties very well with the book(around $14 at any store books are sold, also well worth the money...), and Jacob doesn't look terrible with shorter hair. I like it longer, but he could NEVER be ugly.
Love love love

Movie Review-- The New harry Potter

Okay, so first, The NEW MOON trailer is all screwy! Bella isn't supposed to have a baby until the 4 book! Jake cut his HAIR! AH(BTW: He's still way hotter than Edward!)!

The movie....
Harry cut his hair too. It was all choppy, and unexplained- to the point if you didn't read the books, you weren't gonna get it! They also stopped in the middle of the book. Emma Watson isn't in it as much as she should be, well that's because she's a diva. She got a stalker(creepy, but JUST ONE), and she was sick of it after doing 6 years of Wizardry. They caught her in a contract, but she was awful in the second half-- her heart was not in it.
Snape killed Dumbledore(duh!). They don't explain why that's a good thing. Harry realizes he needs Hermione and Ron, movie ENDS.
I give it a 4. It's essential to the story line, but I'd wait to rent it.
The last book will be split into two movies.
If you haven't read at least the 6th book, forget it, you aren't going to get anything in the last three movies.

Ghost Town

After a routine colonoscopy, a mean/crazy dentist who hates everyone. He finds love, he falls out of it. He eventually helps people like Melinda(a.k.a Jen. Love. Hewitt) in Ghost Whisperer. He was pretty sarcastic- British Humor! I LOVE IT! It is soo funny! His teeth were all messed up because he was British and he was a dentist in New York which is kind of ironic to me. I always notice teeth first, that'll come in handy for an ocupation in Orthodontics! I'll give it a 3, it wasn't great like the Knowing(scroll down for review) but it wasn't as bad as the Haunting of Molly Heartly.

The Knowing- M.T.Y.

Are you crazy if....?

You see every disaster in the future and know the place(lat. and long.), date, and number of people that will die, hear voices? That's Lucille. You believe that the world is just made of a bunch of mistakes and coincidences? That's John- Nicholas Cage. You hear voices and listen to them, do what they say without questions? That's Abby and Calib.

This was the first film that I have ever cried from and shaken from in the theater, no, ever. It was fantastic. It was about a child named Calib who found a piece of paper with a series of numbers that seemed to have no sequence and stole it from his school. His father(Cage), finds the sequence- lat, long, date, number of causalities. Calib meets a little girl(Abby) who's mom(Dianna) has been through a lot, much like Calib's dad.

After John goes through two of the final dates on the list, they go on a journey together to find the final dates on the list. Dianna's mother was Lucille. At the place where Lucille died, John finds a link to his son. They had to find a safe place to hide from the last date on the list. John had an idea once he found the missing numbers and shared it with Dianna.

At a local gas station, two strange men take the children. John later finds them unharmed. They are the chosen ones. This made me cry.

I was shaking from the intensity.

Nightmare rating- 5 if you don't finish it, 2 if you see the ending. Movie rating, 10, out of 5. Thousands of times better than Twilight. Quite possibly the MOVIE OF THE YEAR. Rated PG-13, that would only ring true if you have an EXTREMELY mature 13 year old. I strongly recommend this movie, especially at just under 2 hours.

Race to Witch Mountain

This was the 3rd coolest Disney movie ever created(To Finding Nemo(1)and Shark Tale(2)! It is rated PG, and is one hour and 44 minutes long(with ticket purchasing time). It was the most awesome kick-butt action-packed movie Disney has ever created. It was HILARIOUS too! When you're watching a horror movie you say "Don't go into the closet/woods/empty street (insert character's name here)!" But they always do. Dwayne Johnson says "Don't go into the pimped out fridge Jack," which is the event that really gets the ball rolling. It was like a Star Wars+Star Trek+Geeks+Alien Expo= Race to Witch Mountain!
Aliens(Dakota Fanning(cute hair BTW!) and some other kid) invade the planet in search for something that can save their planet. With the help of Dwayne, the action pursues and the fun is had by all. It is a great family movie and is very much worth the money for the entertainment, I rated it a 4.5.

City of Ember

A city is built underground with a box set to open in 200 years. Now with natural curiosity, two young girls and a boy attempt to seek the above world when the city with no natural light begins to have black outs. Why have LCD and HD TVs when your TV is so synced into the room that the power goes off right at an important moment. I didn't finish the movie then, because the power didn't come back on for a while, but I watched the rest of it last night. It was fantastic, definitely a family movie. I rated it a 4.

Bangkok Dangerous

Bangkok Dangerous. Oh My God. Nicholas Cage/Action Movie OF THE YEAR!! The plot had me on the edge of my seat. It involves an assassin(Cage) on his "final run." This assassin receives pictures of the people he is supposed to kill. When he goes to Bangkok(hints at the title), he makes an apprentice. This apprentice is a native and helps him along the way. Now, it is a little racy, so I wouldn't recommend you watch it with your 10 year old... nudity. As the story goes along, the assassin has a deaf love interest, and the movie ends with a cliff hanger.... What cliff exactly, I am not sure. I give it a 3.7.

The Women Movie Review

Okay, so you may have heard of this movie from YaYa, but now that I have seen it, and now it is my turn to review it, to give you another person's idea.
The movie is supposed to be about about a group of normal women that make it through a tough time. What it is actually about is a bunch of really rich, whiny housewives. These housewives whole lives are about gossip. The trials and tribulations they go through when devestation hits one of them drag. It ends happily, but with no real answers. I've given a rating of 3.5 stars.
Now I am going to watch Bangkok Dangerous starring *Nicholas Cage* a.k.a. my mom's boyfriend... I think he's an AMAZING actor and he knows what he's doing.... He's kind of the Jackie Chan or Robin Williams, in his own genre.

MAMA MIA MOVIE REVIEW!

Now the next movie review was not tainted with my beliefs at all, mostly because I didn't watch them on the same day. I usually rate out of 5, but this(reguarding my same scale)gets a 10! Mama Mia! is a movie about a young girl who wants to find her father so he can give her away at her wedding. Now the amount of music, and the way they go into it, you would think that the mother, her daughter, the extra town people and all the people on the island only listened to ABBA and made it part of their language! This is the BEST movie I have ever seen. Well, not as AMAZING as Twilight was, but it is in a completely different subject. This movie contains the biggest hits originally by ABBA and nothing but. Now I know why my dad wanted to see it so bad! It contains hits like Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Honey, Honey, Mama Mia!, Take a Chance on Me, and MUCH more! I didn't even know who they were before I saw this, and now I am jamming out to them! GO ABBA, Go MAMA MIA!

Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder :Stupidest movie EVER created(EVEN WORSE than Hellboy 2)! This doesn't deserve anything but a rating of 1... for pity. If you can get past the first 15 minutes of HORRIBLE special effects, it is still a stupid plot. These dufusses get put somewhere to make a movie. Then, they are spread out in some tropical jungle, and their director leaves them with knowing that there are cameras hidden in the jungle for cool camera footage. The group gets into a fight about wheather or not there were real cameras for the movie, and disaster strikes. They decide that the best thing to do is find a way to survive. The horrible special effects continue... and it's done. It is unrated, probably because the "raters" looked at it and decided it was too stupid for them to waste their time with.

Another December Movie Review

Now Hellboy II is not in the theaters, but we got it from Movies On Demand.
It was full of action, but the special effects were horrible, they worse than the mini movies my brother and I make! When a character is killed, it looks like they got cherry kool-aid poured on them instead of blood. It was horrible. It's about a set of twins that cause trouble, and everything that happens to one happens to the other, leaving the ending quite predictable. I rate this movie a 1 star out of 5, which is the lowest rating ever given in my movie rating ever, except for GET SMART. It's (Hellboy II)got awesome action, but the horrible special effects cancel it out! It's rated PG-13, and is 120 minutes long.

December Movie Review

With 5- 8 new movies that came out (depending on theater) on Christmas day, it is nearly impossible not to go to the theaters soon!
Although nothing like Twilight, Bedtime Stories by Disney rated a 4.5 rank. This story is about an uncle who must take care of his niece and nephew, whom he hadn't seen in 4 years, for a whole week. This is difficult for him because they don't live a "normal" life style. The only way he knows to connect with them is to make up bedtime stories with them, and it is true that everything the kids say comes true, down to the mispronunciations the 6 year old makes. As that causes trouble for him, the uncle manipulates the kids to manipulate his life to make it easier for him, the kids tend to take it to a different direction. I encourage you to see this 99 minute, PG rated movie the next time you need to see a Disney movie, and even though Disney movies can be quite predictable, this is not.
