G.I. Joe

Ok I really enjoyed this movie. And NOT just because there were a lot of hot guys with their shirts off. But of course that was one of the reasons. ;) It had wonderful intense action. A lot of it. I mean A LOT. Often movies will over use special effect and action and the movie will end up just bland and unmeaningful.

This film did use way too many special effects, but on purpose. It was in a good way. I loved the overuse of special effects, explosions, hard-rock music, nuclear weapons, guns, hard-core characters decked out in black leather and army gear... oh yes. This film pulled it off. I had a great time. I highly reccommend it! Definitely try to catch in the theatre if you still can.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Soooo excellent. I've actually seen this movie in the theatre twice now. First time with the family, then on my own. I was so impressed. It's a lot more serious than the other Harry Potter films, but at the same time has some very funny moments. I can't imagine much more they could do. I think it was perfect. Yes it was missing somethings from the book and I've heard a few people complain about this. But since I haven't read the book in a couple years, I wasn't watching and waiting for the film to steer in another direction. I was able to just take it in and enjoy it. That's the best way to go from book to movie, I've found.

Do I even have to reccommend this one? It's so obviously one everyone should see. Go see it. Period. In fact, go see it 3 times.

The Proposal

This movie was way way funny. My sister and I really enjoyed it. Sandra Bullock is always wonderful, and this part was very different for her. But she played it well. It was quite predictable what was going to happen in the end, but still very fun to get there.

There was some nudity. Close your eyes! ;) I don't reccomend it for family viewing for sure because of that. Obviously I don't reccomend watching that part to anyone for that matter.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Holy freakin cow! Such a perfect movie. I may even go so far as to say that this one beats out all the other X-Men films so far, which were all great. This film doesn't leave anything to be desired. Amazing clear action, hot guys ;), wonderful story, the works.

There is some nudity when Logan escapes from the lab, but all you girls can close your eyes for that. Ria and I did. :)

It's definitely one to make sure you see in the theatre. I loved it!

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

Way, way, way good. I saw this with my sister weekend before last. I never liked Ben Stiller before these Museum movies started coming out but he's just so perfect for this part. There's a lot of hilarious comedy, awesome special effects and some unexpected twists.

Perfect for the whole family and no garbage. Adults and kids will love it. I give this one my highest recommendation. Try to catch it before it leaves the theatre! :)

Angels & Demons

I was very disappointed with this movie. The story Dan Brown created was twisted and warped into an entirely different thing that what was originally written. For heaven sakes, haven't film directors learned that changing a book too much when putting it on the big screen is only a disappointment?

By the time the movie finished I was like, why did I like that story? It was all a blurr. The show rushed so quickly through the story that after the show was ten minutes in, it was already 300 pages in! I don't think anyone who hasn't read the book could keep up, and those of us who had are just mad that they skipped so much.

There's a lot of violence and some gruesome murders just like we saw in the Davinci Code. Again, Tom Hanks wasn't the best choice for Langdon in my opinion. So if you wanna go see it, don't expect much. Maybe if you expect nothing you'll find something good about it... somewhere. ;)

LOL, I guess it wasn't so bad, it's just there was nothing in it that I had anticipated. I suggest reading the novel instead. That's where it's at. WAY good.
