Movie Review: Gone

Gone is about a serial killer, and the one who got away.  Jill is the girl who escaped him and to finally "tie up lose ends" he goes after her sister to draw her out.
This movie is interesting and I liked it there were just a few glaring errors that were hard to get over.  The cops were idiots! I mean seriously retarded I mean Jill escapes and she is found wandering in the woods in her pjs half frozen to death and after a week they decide she is just crazy and was never really abducted, SERIOUSLY! yeah cause that is what I do for fun and attention I go wandering the woods hoping someone will find me. Dumb cops! If you can get past a couple glaring mistakes this movie was fun and exciting.

Movie Review: Wanderlust

This is definitely a film based in comedy. There isn't much of a message and you don't walk away with a feeling of having been taken on an adventure.  You will walk away laughing.  Warning, there are lots of penises, vaginas, and breasts flopping around on the big screen.  There are times where you will laugh for minutes straight. When I saw the movie there were several "grandmas" in the theater and this made the experience about fifty times better. So here is the hint...bring your grandmas. Watching a grandma laugh their behind off as they see penises flopping around or watch a man having a dirty monologue about various sexual acts makes the movie that much better.

Movie Review: Act of Valor

This weekend I went to see the movie Act of Valor.  Basically, it is a movie based off of real life Navy SEAL operations that has been fictionalized.  The actors in the movie are mainly active duty Navy SEALs.  It probably doesn't need to be said, but, the expectation of the level of acting should be lower than with most movies.  These guys are not professional actors. 

They do kick ass and take names for a living so your expectations of some really great action scenes should remain high.  There are no computer generated imaging in the movie.  It is all based on the skill of the men.  These guys are amazing.  They have skills I did not even know existed.  And, the equipment they use is cutting age and made my heart flutter.  I was one of the few women in the movie.  It is one of the only movies out there which is more geared for men than women.  If you get a chance go see the movie, it is eye opening for the sacrifices our men and women in the military make for this country.  It is the opposite of chick flick, a "manly movie."

On a side note, I know why they call them SEALs.  They are wet about 98% of the time on their operations.

Movie Review The Grey

I saw the movie Grey today with Liam Neeson, it was interesting.  I liked the idea and it was fairly realistic, until the end.

There is a plane full of people leaving from an oil drilling facility in the middle of no where Alaska heading back to Anchorage, when the plane crashes.  From there it is all the survivors of the crash trying to survive in the wilderness of Alaska, and to make it worse there is a pack of wolves out hunting them.

So all was going fairly well for me until one of the survivors falls into a river and another guy jumps in to save him.  Then when they aren't in the water anymore they act like nothing is wrong. I am sorry if someone falls into a river in below zero temperatures in the middle of no where with no way to get dry they are dead.

This movie was interesting, at times exciting, but was also a little too long and slow.

I rate 3 stars

Hugo Movie Review!

My mom, aunt, and I all saw Hugo today at the cheap movie theater (love cheap theaters).  This is a very unique and different type of movie, and I adore the girl in it Chloe Grace Moretz.  With that being said this movie was too long, this is my biggest complaint for most movies out there now, and at points it was down right slow and boring.

A young orphan boy is living at a train station by himself, and if he can keep the clocks wound no one will know he is living their by himself and take him to the orphanage.  This boy is also trying to fix an automaton that he and his father were working on when the father died.  From there he meets people and tries to find a family.  

This is done in about 2 hours and 15 min. my mom fell asleep in it.  Well made, great acting, interesting story, but too slow and too long. 2 stars
