Valkyrie

Tonight Ben and I saw Valkyrie. We both really like World War II movies and this one was great! We really enjoyed it! It, of course, is a bit sad, but it was well done. I would highly suggest this movie to anyone. Ben gave it an A- and I gave it 4 our of 5 stars :)

Last week we saw Yes Man - This movie was awful - Skip it! You really don't need to see it...

The House Bunny

I forgot to post this, but last Friday, Shane, Melinda, Ben and I saw the House Bunny - Don't judge me yet... It was actually really funny and pretty clean considering that the premise of the movie is that the main character is a playboy bunny. The clothes are ridiculous, but it's worth going to because it's pretty dang funny. One of the Zeta girls - who is more manly than the others - was soooo funny! Evey time she opened her mouth I laughed :)

We also saw the Mummy a few weeks ago - Skip it...

Also saw Mamma Mia - I was bored with it and I think that's because I had just started reading the Twilight books and the books were way more interesting than the movie :)

The X-Files: I Want To Believe

Last night was great - Has some good Tai food with Cory and Calee and then headed over to the theater to watch a movie and to my great astonishment we saw The X-Files Movie!!! I was super excited to see it but thought that I would have had to have seen it by myself... Ben is not a big X-Files fan and my loyal blog readers will remember that I am :) So long story short - I LOVE IT and Ben did not... It was great if you liked the show... There were actually a couple of twists that I really liked... So all you X-Files fans - ENJOY!

The Dark Knight

I have one word to describe this move - BAT-ICLE! (oh my word I totally just said that... I'm a total dork!) I loved this movie!!! Oh my gosh... So I love Batman Begins and with all sequels I was a little apprehensive about this one, but when it came out the reviews were incredible - EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER it seems liked this movie. Reviewers kept saying that this was Heath Ledger's best role yet and that made me sad because I thought that they were just saying that because Heath died in January - VERY SAD. But they weren't lying - this was his absolute BEST role and he did such an incredible job. Which of course makes me more sad. :( But in any case this movie might be one of the best I've ever seen.
It was a long movie, but I never felt that way in my seat. The fight scenes weren't over done and the acting was amazing - I definitely liked Maggie Gyllenhaal WAY better than Katie Holmes. Christian Bale is very cute but extremely HOT in a bat suit. I don't know what it is about the bat suit, but it seriously is great! Morgan Feeman and Michael Caine are great and I was surprised by Aaron Eckhart's character. Everything about this was awesome. If you don't go see it in the theatre you will be bummed that you didn't. I actually wouldn't mind going again! Best summer movie yet this year!!!

Return wtih Honor

So Ben and I had a kind of crappy day yesterday... It was Monday - enough said :) And because of the crappiness of the day I didn't want to cook so off to the best restaurant in San Marcos - Acapulco! It was yummy! After dinner we decided to rent a movie - which turned into 3 movie rentals. We rented Return with Honor (a Mormon flick), Definitely Maybe and Be Kind Rewind. We got home kind of late so we decided to watch Return with Honor... Let me tell you a bit about it first... It's about a RM who dies on his cab ride home from the airport... The good Lord then tells him that he has 60 days to live and "Save" his mother (a non-member). Well the main Character - the RM - whose name I never quite caught is the most arrogant guy I've EVER heard - he was super "holier than Thou" and just judged people left and right. Long story short the movie was about the WORST I've ever seen! The only redeeming character was a tattooed/pierce/soft spoken guy named Corbin. The acting was BAD and the story was even WORSE! DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE - unless of course you WANT to waste 2 hours of your precious time :)

Hancock

We went to see Hancock last night and we were a bit weary because we had heard some bad reviews, but once again the reviewers are idiots. I really liked the movie - Will Smith is amazing and might be my all time favorite actor! He is so freaking funny and doesn't disappoint in this movie. I liked it way better than I Am Legend (hated that movie - not Will Smith's acting, but the story line) Anyway - the movie is super funny and a bit sad, but all in all I was glad that I went to see it. :) By the way - is it strange that I find Will Smith extremely attractive? I mean EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE!

Movie Review

Last Saturday we saw Get Smart. It was very enjoyable! It was a good o'fashion wholesome movie that was clean and actually funny at the same time. Steve Carell is of course HILARIOUS and the whole cast was pretty good. I really liked this movie and would highly recommend seeing it!

Movie Review - Iron Man

After seeing the previews on TV for Iron Man - I was not interested at all. The movie looked liked your typical comic book movie and I was not looking to see another dumb film! I waste enough money at the movies! I only want to see quality films now!!!

But a lot of people told me that the movie was really good. I still was not sure, but last night we went to see it. We wanted to see the new Indiana Jones, but I'm not a big crowd person so we decided to give Iron Man a try. I was thoroughly impressed! It was so FREAKING good! From beginning to end I was entertained. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was Gwyneth Paltrow's character. I don't know if it was her acting or just the character that was a bit boring, but she didn't really do it for me. Don't get me wrong - she looked great (well her hair didn't) but she pulled of these rad stiletto heels! Robert Downey Jr did a great job! He was funny, and could definitly pull of the sexy smart guy thing. Although I didn't care for the facial hair. But the point I'm trying to make is that the movie is GREAT! I loved it - 4 out of 5 stars!!!
