I sort of enjoyed this movie, even though I didn’t laugh much at the slapstick comedy. I didn’t find it all that funny. I think what I liked the most about this movie was the message. So many kids today spend all of their time online or in front of a video game or watching tv. Kids don’t know how to use their imagination and just play anymore. I love that Adam Sandler’s character works hard to get his kids to stop being cell phone junkies and to start living in the moment and having fun like kids. It was a really good message for today’s generation. One I hope to pass down to my kids.

I’ve been gearing up for the second part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the past week. I’ve been rereading the books and rewatching all of the movies. Luckily the télés are showing reruns too. The last movie is going to be such a tear jerker, but I know it will also be amazing. I’m going to watch it with friends at the IMAX in 3D. It’s going to be epic!!

I have to admit when I saw the previews for this movie I didn’t expect much, even though I adore both Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. But watching it, I was pleasantly surprised that there was a real storyline behind it, and it wasn’t just about hooking up. The premise is Emma (Natalie) and Adam (Ashton) keep meeting each other randomly. First when they are kids at boot camp, then when they are in college, and then as adults. This last meet cute is just about the most awkward meet up ever. He wakes up naked on her couch after a night of crazy drunken debauchery. They end up having a quickie that completely lacks emotion. She later tells him she isn’t good at relationships. Meanwhile you can tell Adam is a heart on his sleeve kind of guy so you can already tell he’s going to get his heart broken.

When Adam makes Emma a period mixed cd I about died from the cuteness. All the songs were related to bleeding, lol. “To soothe your womb.” He’s just about the sweetest thing.

Emma’s character is of course frustrating to watch because she tries to be the strong, independent type. It’s scary because I’ve been told in the past that I was “brutally independent”. I saw so much of my former self in Emma. I’m just so glad I got my crap together and let love come in. Of course in the end that is what Emma does too. It was a really cute movie and I’m glad it wasn’t raunchy or vulgar like I thought it would be.

I’ve been dying to watch this movie and I missed it when it was in the theater. The premise is about Cassie, played by Jennifer Aniston, a woman in her late 30s who has decided to become artificially inseminated. Her best friend Wally, played by Bateman completely disagrees with her decision. He tries to convince her not to do it, but she ignores his advice. She throws a ridiculous party for her insemination. In a weird twist of fate, Bateman gets drunk and switches the specimen with his own and blacks out and forgets he did it.
When Cassie learns she’s pregnant she moves away to be near her family. She loses touch with Wally but 7 years later she moves back and they reconnect. Now in this movie you absolutely have to ignore Jennifer Aniston’s character Cassie’s thick headedness. The fact that she doesn’t notice that her son is exactly like her best friend is a bit far fetched. Besides that though, the movie is so moving. You see Wally get to know his son Sebastian and realize that the boy is his. Watching Wally go through all of this growth and become attached to his son is so sweet. I won’t spoil it for anyone who wants to rent it, but I will say that it has a happy ending, yay! I was worried because sometimes movies throw a curveball and they end sadly. This one does not disappoint.

This movie is without a doubt hilarious. I highly recommend anyone see it. Just remember that of course it’s going to be crude and some parts are gross, but it’s a laugh out loud, hold your sides funny movie. I haven’t laughed that much in theaters in ages.

The movie opens with a really awkward sex scene between the main character Annie, and her must take testosterone patches for breakfast douchy screw buddy. FB he calls himself. He’s terrible in the sack but she stays with him anyways because she’s lonely. Oh honey, no.

The movie follows Annie along as her best friend gets married. Basically Annie spirals more and more out of control with her life and hits rock bottom. Along the way there are so many different moments of so funny and awful things that happen to the poor girl. I also love that there are moments of serious heart and reflection as her friends call her out on her bull and tell her to cut it out.

Definitely see this movie, preferably with your girlfriends, but guys will enjoy it too.

I went into this movie today not expecting much, just some pretty cinematography. But I left very satisfied. I thought this movie had a great storyline that kept me interested from beginning to end, and despite criticism I thought Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon had excellent chemistry on the screen.

I am a huge Reese Witherspoon fan and when I found out she did her own elephant stunts in the movie I was even more so. That woman can do anything! I also would love to get my hands on the dresses she wears in the movie. Gorgeous!

The hardest thing for me to watch in the film was the implied cruelty that the ringleader inflicts on the animals, especially the elephant Rosie. I teared up when they showed him beating her with a bull stick. Heartbreaking! But it just made me hate the villain even more. I loved that Rob showed some manliness in this film and he also smiled a lot more than he has in his past movies. He is so hot when he smiles.

It was a great chick flick and I definitely recommend checking it out.

I’m going to check out Water for Elephants on Friday. I have read some mixed sensa reviews but I still have high hopes. I love Reese Witherspoon and of course Rob Pattinson. The cinematography looks beautiful so if nothing else there will be that. I haven’t read the book so I have no clue what to expect. I just hope it has a happy uplifting ending. I hate movies that leave me depressed. Keep your eyes peeled for a movie review.

I finally got around to watching this movie today. I’ve been really bad about watching movies lately, and I’m a huge movie buff. I blame the cancellation of my Netflix account. Anywho, I am a huge huge Reese Witherspoon fan and this movie didn’t disappoint. I have never seen her in a quasi tomboy roll before and I thought she did an amazing job. I didn’t feel like she was acting. I never do.

So the premise of the movie is that Reese is a professional softball player named Lisa who just got cut from the team she was on for 12 years. Her whole world is basically shattered. She is also dating Owen Wilson who plays this egotistical ladie’s man/professional baseball player named Manny. I love how he has disposable toothbrushes and sweatshirt sets for his conquests so they don’t have to do the walk of shame. I’m pretty sure I’ve dated this man.

Lisa also goes out on an incredibly awkward first date with Paul Rudd’s character George, who is also going through a huge life crisis. His father got him into an incredible amount of legal trouble and his world is crashing down around him as well. They meet for dinner and George attempts to unload on her. She cuts him off and makes him sit there and eat quietly. Of course George is instantly smitten (who wouldn’t be, it’s Reese Witherspoon) and cheers up right away.

Then Manny, the total ladies man falls for Lisa after she opens up to him about getting cut from the team. He asks her to move in with him. I love that they’re both kind of stunted in the romance department. George is an ass but he’s kind of likeable in his assery (yeah it’s a word!).

The movie kind of peters out for me at the end. I think they could have done something more with it, but it’s still a cute one and worth renting.

~Sleepless in Seattle~

Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together… and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home… only to no home I’d ever known… I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like… magic.

~While You Were Sleeping~

“Jack: [Lucy's sitting in the booth at the station taking tokens for the train. Suddenly someone drops a ring, making her look up] Lucy? I have to ask you a question.
Elsie: Get down on one knee, it’s more romantic.
Saul: Elsie, if he’s proposing let him do it!
Elsie: I *am* letting him do it.
Jack: Can I come in there please?
Lucy: I can’t. Not without a token.
Jack: [he hands one in and goes into the booth] Marry me.
Lucy: Yeah. I love you.
Jack: I love you back”

~When Harry Met Sally~

Harry: Well how about this way. I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out, I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich, I love when you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts, I love that after I’ve spent the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to begin as soon as possible.

~The Holiday~

Graham:I am in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delivery, but as problematic as this fact may be, I am in love. With you. And I’m not feeling this because you’re leaving, and not because it feels good to feel this way- which by the way, it does, or did before you went off like that. I can’t figure out the mathematics of this, I just know I love you. Can’t believe how many times I’m saying it. I never thought I’d feel this way again, so that’s pretty phenomenal. But I realize I come with a package deal- 3 for the price of 1. And my package perhaps in the light of day isn’t all that wonderful, but I finally know what I want, and that in itself is a miracle. And what I want is you.

~Keeping the Faith~

Jake: Ok. Well, I’ve been thinking about some of the things you said and you were right.
Anna: About what?
Jake: About us. About me, especially about me.
Anna: So what are you saying Jake?
All Anna’s colleagues: Yeah, what are you saying Jake?
Jake: I’m saying I love you. I’m in love with you. And I’ve been waiting my whole life for someone like you and I’m not gonna let you go. Please don’t go. Anna, I’m not gonna let you go.

~Jerry MacGuire~

I don’t know what I was expecting from this movie. The previews really didn’t tell me much about the plot. I thought it just plain sucked. Overzealous use of the F word, really non-sexy sex scenes and an overall sense of uncomfortableness. I love Mark Ruffalo and I couldn’t stand him in this movie. He’s the sperm donor to a lesbian couple, and when his biological daughter turns 18 she contacts him. At first you think the plot of the story is that he enriches their lives and helps each kid. Instead, he almost breaks up the family by having an affair with one of the moms. It’s AWFUL.

Mark Ruffalo is supposed to be pretty well endowed, and he talks about using natural male enhancement. I just find it hard to believe that a committed lesbian would all of a sudden want to have sex with a man. What is that? This movie just proves that I can’t stand indie films and I don’t know why I even bother watching them.

I didn’t mind a movie about a lesbian couple having a regular life. That part was cool, it was very modern times. I would have hated this movie it was a straight couple. I like my movies to be romantic and fun, and I can’t stand it when they’re about infidelity. Two thumbs way way down.
