The Watch

This movie was surprising entertaining. I mean I went to see it on the strength of Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, but it had a cute and unecpexted spin on it. It was funny...and Jonah Hill was a nice addition. This movie takes place in a quiet little surburban town where nothing happens and all is quiet until the night security guard ends up dead ,with his skin pulled off in Costco. Evan (Ben Stiller) who is the manager of the Costco, decides to abandon his weekly clubs (Spanish, Fit, and social) to start a neighborhood watch and hunt down the killer. With Evan, Bob (Vince Vaughn), Franklin (Vince Vaughn), and Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade)on the watch,no crime is going unpunished, and they think all is quiet again. That is until the attacker kills again and the dynamic 4 are faced with the fact that it might not be a man doing the killing...but something else. This movie is DEF not kid friendly but something to tickle your funny bone. Vince Vaughn and his humor is funny as usual and you never know what's going to come out of his mouth. The things that he says can't possible be scripted LMAO. Love him! What did you think?

The Watch

Is anyone going to check out this movie? I am a hugh Vince Vaughn fan so I'll be checking it out this wknd. He's funny as H*ll!! His humor is serious and that's what makes it sooooo funny!!! But I can't take the crowds tonight, so I'm thinking I'll catch a early show tomorrow at my Dine-In Theater. I think the idea when it first came was great, but now it has gone down hill. They take so long to bring you your food that by the time it gets there, show movie is half wy through. Plus, the food is not that great for what they want to charge. So why go, because I love the recliners lol. But I think I will go elsewhere for lunch...

True Blood

This season is really heating up with True Blood and the gang! I am so excited!! This show has been through so many changes and I love the new characters & spins that they are putting on the show. This season is going to be a straight up war between the Humans, the Vamps, the Fang Bangers, the Ferries, the Wolves, the Wiccans, relationships, and whatever else. Sookie needs to be a little smarter about wanted to give her her ferry ways. I mean I can understand where she is coming from but all and all it has gotten her out of some tight situations. WIth the war coming, the way they make it seem, I can't help but wonder if this will be the final season. After this, life as they know it might be over. Your thoughts??

Ted

Ok, who else liked the movie Ted and enjoyed it??? Def not a kid friendly movie!! I really enjoyed Ted. Hoenstly that teddy was funny as all h*ll!!! The best part was..........FLASH GORDON. How did they manage to get him in there! He was SO fine in Flash Gordan...Sam J. Jones. Everytime that movie comes on, I have to watch it. Loved Flash Gordon. But I am getting off of my topic so let me get back to Ted. Some say you need to watch while under the influence but I wasn't and crack up!!! This bear was getting in, on, and every which way. And Marky Mark is always nice to look at. He's a good actor...came a long way! I am still trying to figure out the sex scene with Ted and the young lady smh.... Anywho anyone else check out Ted? Cant wait to check out Batman, The Watch (loveeeee Vince V), and Sparkle.

The Human Centipede

Now I haven't seen every movie there is, but I have seen my share, and up until now nothing has ever grossed me out more than The Human Centipede. Not my choice, but I watched it because my niece recommended it. OMG......craziest movie I have ever seen and apparently they have part 1 and 2. I was even more shocked to find out that someone older than me had watched it also. This crazy a** movie about this lonely old momma's boy, that looked like a hard boiled egg btw, who lived with his mother and obsessed with centipedes. He carried around a collage of pictures infatuated with them. He even went so far as to research how to make a human centipede and apparently he watch Part 1 of the movie and decided he was going to make part 2. He works as a parking attendant in a garage and as people come in and out to get their car, them. Men, women, and pregnant women. He knocks them out with a blow to the head. When they wake up, they find themselves in an empty warehouse, on their stomachs, naked, and with their wrists and ankles tied. Fast forwarding to the middle and the end of the movie...he ends up with a total of about 10 people in which he proceeds to knock out all of their teeth with a hammer. Then proceeds to cut out cariledge from theris knees, turns all of the over so they are on all fours, cuts the skin out around their anal, and proceeds to take another hostage and staples their lips to the person's a** hole in which he just cut out...making them all united and with one digestionanl track. Gross!!! This turn him on!!! He then gives the person at the front of the centiped soup so she can sh*t. She spits it out! He then gives her a shot in her a** of something that will make her have diarrhea. It works. Minutes after he gives her the shot she starts to gooooooo. The person whose mouth is stapled to her a** begins to swallow her sh*t, then he starts to go and etc...etc... Never in my life seen anything like that and the whole time I am watching it, I am thinking why? But I had to continue to watch because my curiousirty got the better of me. But what a sick movie. Don't know where people come up with such things...smh. Anyone else seen this movie? Part 1 or 2??

I'M BACK PEOPLE!!! My account was all screwed up but I am back in business people...movie update soon to follow. I have a few I'd like to talk about and hear comments from. So plzzzzzz stay tuned...

Insidious 2011

Director James Wan (Saw) did a fabulous job with this movie. Starring Patrick Wilson (Lake View Terrace) and Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later). This was the most nail biting, chilling, jumping, scary, and suspenseful horror movie that I have seen in a really long time. It wasn't like your Saw movies with all the blood and gore..it was much actually scarier. I have always found that the scariest movies are movies with little to no blood (Devil) and those that can't be explain (i.e. ghosts/spirits and cult movies like Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, or Paranormal Activity.)

The movie begins as the family moves into their new home when Dalton ( Ty Lambert) expresses to his mother Renai (Rose Byrne) that he does not like his new room. That's when strange happenings begin to occur. Renai begins to see images in the house and hear strange noises. Dalton falls ill or so they think, and it's all down hill from there. Renai begins to put the house at fault and as a result, they move to another house..but so do the strange happenings. No one in the family is at rest and no one can explain what's happened to Dalton. Meanwhile the disturbances are happening more frequently and more profound. As the family begins to search for answers, they dive deeper and deeper into the abyss of the unknown and the past in hopes to save their son and themselves from these demons; however it's not all red hearts and purple stars at the end.

I really enjoyed this movie. It kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat! The demons in this movie were perfectly done in that you could only see an image which made it even scarier and in others, were just scary to look at. I jumped a few times and surprisingly enough, at night I still might see an image of one of the demons in my head. That hardly ever happens! A definite must see!

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

The story continues as Harry searches for Voldermort to destroy him. Since this is the last book, it is not going to be as easy as it has been in the past to track him down. There is a lot going on. There is a huge betrayal by one of the characters which makes it difficult to really decide which side people are actual on and Harry is running out of time. Voldermort is a lot more deadly in this film and Harry is a lot more pissed as Voldermort continues to kill everyone he loves. IF your a Harry Potter fan you will enjoy this next film. They actually broke this last film up into a two part series. Part 2 of The Deathly Hallow won't be released until sometime later in the Spring 2011. I am looking forward to it..I don't think Dumbledore is really dead. I wonder if it's a plot to make Voldermort think he is, so they can strike. Just a thought!

The new AMC Dine-In Theatre Experience.

As I walked to the front doors of this new movie theatre I was blown away. I had no idea what to expect. First I notice is a full bar; in a movie theater; no way! The manager gave me a full tour of the place which included the lounge area for food and drinks, and the two different kinds of theaters that they have. The first theatre for an admission of $20.00 pays for your admission and $10.00 towards food. If you happen to go over, you pay the difference. There are leather comfortable seats, individual tables for you to eat, menus, and a call button for the waitress that comes directly to your seat to take your order. She also comes around, much like a restaurant to ask if you want anything else and to remove your food. Very fancy... The second theatre, the VIP if you will is a bit more expensive. For $5.00 more you ($15.00 towards your food and drinks) get the leather reclining seats that feel like your home, complimentary services (like gourmet popcorn and candy; sample size of course) and more room..as much as you can stand. I loved it! It is especially nice for those long movies because there is just so much space. I couldn't do the Dine-In experience every time I go to see a movie but DEF twice a month. Why eat before or after the movie when you can do it all in one spot! My mom said she went to one in GA and the only difference was the table where you eat was one long table for everyone to share. This one you had your own individual table which makes it more personal. A must! Go and check it out!

My Upcoming Reviews...

They have some interesting new movies that I want to check out:

"Conviction" with Hillary Swank...Drama
"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."..Horror
"Due Date" with Robert Downey Jr..Comedy
"Saw 6"..Horror. I still can't believe they continued after number 4. SMH!
"For Colored Girls".. Tyler Perry..and they have everyone in this film. Thandie Newton, WHoopie Goldberg, Kerry Washington, Janet Jackson, Phylicia Rashad, Loretta Devine, Kimberly Elise, and Macy Gray. Can't wait to see this. NOV 5th!
"Red"

"Case 39"

All Emily (Renee Zellweger) a case worker,was trying to do was her job and save a neglected child Lilly (Jodelle Ferland), or what appeared to be neglect from her parents...however, it turned out to be the parents protecting themselves from Lilly. After Lilly's parents are institutionalized for trying to kill Lilly and Emily protest for custody of Lilly until she is placed in a permanent home, do people closest to Emily start to die mysteriously. No one seems to know why, but eventually clues start point back to Lilly. That's when Emily starts shaking in her boots, scared to go home It's not till the end when she goes to see Lilly's father to get answers and ultimately comes to the same conclusion as Lilly's parents did. During this whole time, Lilly who is some sort of super natural being, is playing and tormenting Emily, killing anyone who might be a threat or just for kicks, and is enjoying herself because she can. Who can stop her after all?? However what Emily finds out is that Lilly can only really hurt you if you show fear.

It was chilling and suspenseful more than anything else. The blood scenes were minimal and there were a few jumpy scenes. They didn't show her "evil" side too much...she was more scary when she was her kid self by the way she manipulated, smiled, and talked to people. It was the way she would smiled, waved, said "hello", and talked like an adult that was scary. She could tell what you were thinking and sense your every move....chilling. It was her way or no way.

Some people tried to compare her character to Orphan and say that her character was a better at the "good-girl" gone bad..but you can't compare it. In Orphan, Ester wasn't a child, she was a crazy 35 year adult. Lilly was some sort of super natural being with the powers to kill people without her putting a finger on them.

It was no M. Night Shyamalan- movie, but it makes the cut and then some for me.

I gave it 2 thumbs up!!!

Did You know??

This is Renee's first horror film in 16 years and that Jodell Ferland has been in several movies for her to be 15years old..one of which is one of favorite movies, Silent Hill.

"Let Me In"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reRRAEVHq8E

If you are looking for a really good horror film that will knock you out of your seat, make you jump with blood and gore, and make you afraid of the dark, then you won't find it in "Let Me In". However if you are looking for, suspense, drama, a chill, intense scenes, with just a taste of blood,gore and horror, and white eyes, then Let Me In would be right up your alley. Ultimately a good Vampire movie in my opinion, but not scary at all. Like most movies today, the previews are scarier than the actually movie, but that's how they get you in there. But then again it takes A LOT to scare me...smh

The movie was a English adaptation of a Swedish novel called 'Let The Right One In' by a Swedish writer named John Ajvide Lindqvist back in 2004. It was later directed by Tomas Alfedson and released in only a few cities in the US in 2008.

However the movie didn't increase its achieved widespread acclaim until it was remade and released by Matt Reeves on October 1st, 2010.

The Plot
The story begins with a troubled, lonely, and a little disturbed 12 year old named Owen. Owen is bullied by the kids at school, and has no friends, but appears to get a good kid. He befriends 12 year old Abby who just moved into the complex with "father". It starts out as "You want to play with my Rubik Cube" and ends with "You want to go steady with me" by Owen. They becomes really good friends. Abby teaches him to stand up for himself and Owen teaches her to let people in. They were both lonely. With Abby being a vampire approx. 60 something years old in a 12 year old body and Owen w/ no friends at all it's no miracle they became friends. Abby's "father" who was also lonely, tired, and old in having to kill people for Abby night after night so she can Fed, while watching himself grow older as she remained the timeless. Owen's mother who was also lonely and distant from Owen, drinking and going through a divorce from Owen's father, is important to point out as it contributed to Owen's behavior. I did find it strange that they never showed the mother's face, just different parts of her body..hummmmmmmmm. Then there was the cop who was investigating the number of bodies piling up and trying to put the different pieces together..which in the end he just pushed a little too far. But it had storyline that kept you guessing and an ending that was both promising and disastrous. It was a long movie, but worth it.

BTW, I viewed 'Let The Right One In' briefly and it appears to have the exact some story line and scenes in the 2010 version..so I may check that out as well.

I GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP!!!

Devil

Gee, what can I say about the movie "Devil"..except that it wasn't exactly what you thought it was going to be about. When people here about a movie named "Devil" they think of exorcisms, possessions, etc...but it was none of that. It actually makes you wonder if things like punishing the bad for wrong things that they do on earth...tourmenting them while they are still on earth and the afterlife really happens..and that there are NO coincidences. I have always believed that things happen for a reason. They already have it all figured it out. It basically said that all the bad things that we do will catch up to us to matter what. You can't escape it. And untill you actually admit your wrong doings, seek forgiveness from God, and forgive others for wrong they have done to you, that the "Devil" will pass you by...and that's where God comes in. It reminded me a lot of judgement day. It had a few jumpy, intense, and bloody scenes but not that many. You didn't know what form he was taking and even when you tink you know, you don't. There was a also clear explanation as to why these things were happening to the group of people..I think there is always a reason why things happen even if we don't know what it is at the time.
So if you can stand suspense and all the other things I mention..go see it. I loved it!! I shook my head as I walked out of the movie..

Salt

Salt...I know I am a little late, but better late than never I always say. Salt was awesome! Angelina was better than ever in this film. If you thought she was a bad ass in Mr. and Mrs. Jones or Wanted, you havent seen anything yet! She starts out as a mild mannered CIA agent with a loving husband and then goes into being accused of being a Russian spy who is then trying to defend her innocence and as it turns out..the world in trying to make it right. The story line was very well thought out and when you got to towards the end of the movie, you didn't know who to trust. And I have to say that Liev Schreiber was better than ever with his sexy self. I would like to see them make a second one, but I don't think they will. It was one of the one hits wonders in my opinion. Nonetheless, a MUST see!

Your thoughts??

The Karate Kid

As much as I love The Karate Kid with Ralph Macchio, the remake with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan was just as good! I thought it was more than just a remake! The story line kept my attenetion and the "love interest" was just as cute as it wanted to be. I did think it was a little long, but still a good movie! They have st it up to make parts, 2,3, and 4 if the choose to. I DEF go see...
I am going to try and check out "Salt" if I have time this week, I heard it was ALL that! Ttyl

Sex and The City 2

Ok folks it is "Sex and The City 2" and my girls are just as FABULOUS as ever!!!!!! Carrie is sheekier, Samantha is older but sexier, Charolette crazier than ever, and Miranda is better than ever and they are ALL do it like it should be done!!! First of all the outfits that these women are wearing are so sleek and outrageous!!! I love it! Carrie had on at least two pairs of Chrisitan Louboutin shoes and I can't stand it! LOL. But seriously, the movie was just as great as the first one!!!! It was funny, sentimental, sexy, daring, hurtful, and it kept you on you toes! Kim Katrell btw, is looking FABULOUS btw, man!!! Anywho, I highly recommend checking out part two for all you die hard Sex and The City fans and those who are not.....get with it!! I will also add although it may seem like a "chick flick" and to some extent it might be, but trust me, MEN need to check it out as well. I would not be shocked if they come out with another one....Big and Carrie expecting, now there's Trilogy!!!!

Let's Talk About Movies: "A Nightmare on Elm Street"

Let's Talk About Movies: "A Nightmare on Elm Street"

"A Nightmare on Elm Street"

Out of all the remakes of horror flicks that have been remade (i.e. Halloween, Friday the 13th, My Bloody Valetine, The Hills have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Black Christmas, originally A Stranger in The Attic, just to name a few) this was the only one that sucked! They used too many of the same scenes from the orignal one, no humor from Freddy that was funny, and wasn't half as scary as the orignal. The only difference was they changed Freddy's character from being a child killer and him getting off to a child molester....and the parents did the exact same thing and burned him. So Freddy was getting even with the parents in the orignal one by killing their kids and this one he is getting revenge by killing the children he molested because they spoke up and told the truth. Not a big leap though. When you do a remake it whs to be a big leap, HUGE so it stands out and this was not done here. Speaking of Freddy, the guy they got to play Freddy was no comparison to the original. They made him look just a little too unreal. He looked like he might be the result of inbredding.....What they should have done, which is similar to what Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, was go back further in the past and explain how Freddy came to be. Make a movie about the time he was going crazy, how he came to be, killing and molesting children. Then have a trial and explain how he got off, the parents reaction as a result, and then go into how and why Freddy is killing. Not just a parent telling the story to their kid explaing what they did, but actually make that a small part of the movie. Something would take about 30-35 minutes and take the place of too many unnecessary suspence scenes (because I wasn't in suspence). That would have been a whole diff spin, since they couldnt come up with anything else.
I give it **. Wait till it comes on HBO. Not dvd, HBO.

Kick Ass

Ok so it has been awhile since I have reviewed any movies, but I am back. Ok so "Kick Ass" was most shocking because it was actually funnier than I expected. When the local nerd decides he is sick of his ordinary life and tired on being stepped on, he decides to take action. He decides to take a step towards making the streets safe again, but he isn't the only one. There are a few other superheros that are cleaning up the streets and they are bad asses. "Hit Girl" and "Big Daddy" are the ones kicking ass.... But don't piss "Hit Girl" off and make her angry, you wont't like it if she's angry.. Go and check it out. I also see a sequel coming.
