The Tourist





I expected more from this movie. Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are both notorious for being in movies that deliver a punch and I expected some excitement in a movie that contained both of these actors.

The Tourist had very little action. A minor explosion, a little boat wreck but nothing with flare or excitement. I was not on the edge of my seat and my movie companion left 30 minutes into the movie, becasue it was "boring." I tend to agree.

There was no hot sex scene that was rumored to have made the mother of Depp's children jealous, in fact there was nothing more than an innocent kiss

I wouldn't even call it a comedy, it really wasn't that funny.

I don't recommend this movie. It does not deliver any of things one would expect from it.

I'M BACK!




Dear Readers,
I know it has been awhile since my last post. I have not been reading or watching movies much this past few months. 19 credit hours and 30-35 hours a week at my job left me little time for the pleasures of life, but now that school is coming to an end I am back to deliver you with all the movie and book news I can.

This summer promises to be an epic one. You can look forward to:
Fast and the Furious Five: Fast cars, hot men, and sexy women, what's not to look forward too?

Pirates of the Caribbean Four: Jack Sparrow, the attractive pirate

Thor: Who doesn't love a sexy and powerful Norse God?

(I sense a trend here)

All these movies offer something for both the man of the house (explosions, cars, ships, action) and the woman of the house (hot men, cars, romance).

So don't miss these summer blockbusters!

She's out of my League


She's out of my League was a pretty good movie. Unlike many comedies it offered a great message as well as a good laugh.

This movie is another good date night movie. The movie explores just what love can do and that there really isn't anything such as a league that is out of your reach. All people are assessable if you can love each other. In it's exploration of this theme the characters encounter some pretty humorous situations.

If you have a movie night in the future I urge you to grab a copy of She's out of my League. You won't be disappointed.

The Bounty Hunter


This may be the perfect date night movie. It has that chick flick edge for the girl and the action adventure edge for the boy.

My boyfriend was reluctant to let me rent this, but rent it we did and he loved it. Not only does the movie offer romance, it offers humor and action.

It has something to please just about anyone and I highly recommend it for you next movie night. Both partners can enjoy this movie.

So go grab a copy of The Bounty Hunter, some popcorn and a blanket to snuggle under.

Furry Vengeance


Furry Vengeance can best be described as ok. It wasn't great it wasn't horrible, it was just ok.

It had a good message and many environmentalists will fully agree with that message, however the movie was mediocre.

It had funny parts but it didn't have me rolling off the couch. It would make an ok family movie, there were parts that might be inappropriate for young children.

I don't recommend this movie if your are looking for a great movie. If you just want something to pass the time then this is the movie for you.
