Spice World 1998
Okay, so I will probably get flack for rating this movie a 5 but it is one of my guilty pleasure movies. That one movie you can watch over and over again without being bored. I was a total Spice Girls fan, I will admit it, but this really was a lot of fun. Similar to Josie And The Pussycats, the movie and the girls made fun of themselves. There was nothing serious about this movie and you can’t look…

TRON: Legacy 2010
Okay, so I am a Tron lover… what can I say. If anyone saw my living room, above my fireplace is a tribute to Tron. Well, we saw this in the theaters so this was a rewatch. This was the second attempt to actually try to watch it. The first was when it came out and the cat was soooo spastic that I could not enjoy it, so we turned it off. With the rearranging of our house, the TV…

Super 8 2011
Superb movie all the way around. Elle Fanning was awesome, as were all the other kids in the movie. I have heard this be compared to E.T. and I say… “ARE YOU ON CRACK?” This was no way close to being E.T. This had suspense and action, lots of explosions. Did E.T. have that? NO!!!! I loved this movie. Happy I went to see it today.

X-Men: First Class 2011
I think I may have just become a fan of X-Men. I had never seen the first two X-Men movies, but saw the third in Mexico City at a midnight show with Spanish Subtitles. It was a little odd, especially when I knew nothing about them. I knew about them via my short stay at a comic book store, but really I was there more for the movie tie-ins and kids stuff. LOL. I am so excited to now go…

The Silence of the Lambs 1991
Silence of The Lambs, the first in the Hannibal series, is about a detective, who is still kinda wet behind the ears, who begins to work with a serial killer to find another serial killer who has a prisoner. There is a race against time to find the girl before she becomes another victim. The movie is more about the relationship that is developing between the detective and Hannibal, went basically will come into play in later films. This movie…

House 1977
I am glad I waited til today to review this movie so that I can put what I watched into perspective. I don’t do a lot of Japanese films, so something from the 70s was a treat for me. The movie was like some psychedelic trip in Happy Japanese School Girl Land. If you like anime, this might be right up your alley. The groovy soundtrack was awesome and I must try to find it. The movie itself was cheesy…

Hairspray 2007
ORIGINAL: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I am on my Amanda Bynes movie review kick, so all the photos from the movies will be of Amanda. I am biased. I saw this movie at the theater opening weekend and I fell in love. I hated the original movie, but as a musical this movie was brought to life for me. All the songs are catchy and by the second time you seem to already know them. I went to the theater…

Treasure Planet 2002
ORIGINAL: This movie was soooo underrated. It was a great story, the animation was superb. I was on the edge of my animated seat just waiting to see who it was all gonna play out. I wish I hadn’t waited this long to see it. Probably a top fave of Disney animated movies.
UPDATED: This is probably one of my favorite Disney animation films. It was a unique take on Treasure Island. Again, this is a re-watch cos my sister picked it in our movie watching day, but I can’t complain since it is good.

Girl, Interrupted 1999
Now, I love this movie… it is a incredibly powerful and emotional ride that evokes so many tears each time I watch it, but today since we have seen this movie so many times, we decided to watch the commentary on this movie for the first time. I don’t normally watch a lot of extras and commentaries on movies I own, so this was gonna be something different for me. I did not find the director all that entertaining, but did enjoy some of the ideas he had in order to create the film and how he was influenced by The Wizard of Oz.

The Hitcher 1986
I really, really enjoyed this movie. I remember when I was working in the video store when this movie came out and it was during my fear of horror movies that I would not watch it even though people said it was good. We had this older couple who came in every Tuesday and they would take all the new releases and spend Tuesday just watching movies. The lady had told me that it really wasn’t horror to the point…

Easy A 2010
ORIGINAL REVIEW: For the first movie of 2011, I would say we started out with a good one. Both Elisabeth and I laughed from the beginning. The good thing was it wasn’t stupid humor, it was clever and very entertaining. So, YAAAAAY on first movie of the year not sucking.
UPDATE: This movie is up there with my top movies. It is hilariously funny teen comedy. Emma Stone is wonderful in this movie. I don’t know if Emma made the…
