It was entertaining.
26 June 2021
Yes there are plot holes, Kate is annoying, and there a lot of unanswered questions. It still is a fun watch and had a couple of "didn't see that coming" moments. I think people are too hard on Dave Bautista's acting, and he did a good job. The soundtrack was great and it has cool CGI.

So disappointed.
26 January 2021
I have read the book at least a dozen times because it is that good of a story, however, this was a total let down. I quit watching when they used a brown haired little girl to play Meggie. The ENTIRE premise of Ralph being infatuated with her is because of her Titian colored hair!! I was soooo disappointed I couldn't watch anymore. I do hope there is a remake, and would consider watching a new one.

It's Bruno! (2019)

Super funny!
23 May 2019
You don't even have to be a dog lover, but it helps! I like the short episodes and Napoleon Dynamite-like feel to this show. There are a few familiar actors/comics which was nice, making for some good laughs. Boo and I were cracking up the first two episodes. Will definitely finish the season by the weekend. Highly recommend this show.

May need to watch it again...
15 July 2017
I'm not sure if I liked the movie. I may need to watch it again to decide. My husband straight up didn't like it. I can't decide. It may be too existential for me...or IT. However, the scenery is nice, the actors are good and the house amazing. It is an interesting concept. It does keep you guessing, and it isn't easy to figure out. I am just saying things to fill up space.

Awesome film!!
15 July 2017
I think Korean films are amazing. This movie is so good I watched it by myself, told hubby about it (he doesn't usually like foreign films) and he said he wanted to see, so we watched it the next day. It has an excellent cast, acting, and fight sequences. I feel like it had real heart and pride. The scenery and costumes are wonderful. Please watch it!

The Tiger (2015)

Love me some Korean movies!!
15 July 2017
This movie is amazing. It has great acting, scenery, and special effects. I really loved the story and symbolism. As I have stated before I don't like to say anything about the actual movie as I feel there is no point in watching a film if the reviews talk about characters/scenes too much. It is akin to the movie trailers showing all the funny/exciting scenes. So, in short it is a beautifully acted, and directed film and I hope my review encourages someone to watch it.

Interstellar (2014)

Thought provoking film
15 July 2017
Hubby and I watched a few months ago, and I have been remiss in my reviews. We both really liked this film. It really makes you think about life. I was still thinking about this movie days after watching. Excellent acting, cast, story, and special effects. I'm not great at understanding all the science/physics (whether it be verbiage or theory) so I think they did a great job of helping someone like me visualize and understand what was going on. It is a long movie and slow, but I like these kind of movies and it doesn't bother me.

Animal lovers will love!
15 July 2017
Hubby and I loved this movie. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so we got a kick out of this film. You don't have to have pets to love it, but it helps! It has a cute story line, and funny actors to voice the pets. Has some truly hilarious lines. I like that it has a message to kids/all of us that pets need to be taken care of and loved. My favorite scene is the ending sequence and I'm not going to lie, it makes me tear up. Super cute movie.

All hail Sir Anthony!!
15 July 2017
What a great show. So thought provoking and profound. What a great concept. Excellent cast and plot lines. If Sir Anthony is in a movie/show you better believe this girl is gonna watch it. He is so mesmerizing. You cannot help but be ensnared by his divinity. Such a powerhouse on his own, but in combination with this series it is a knockout. Wow! Only complaint is the second season won't be out til 2018. Nooooo!!

Such a great revenge movie!!
15 July 2017
First of all, for the haters, you're stupid. Second of all Keanu is the man. That man trained his ass off and it shows. My husband has a man crush on him now because of these movies. He also has no smack to talk about the accuracy of the weapons and training tactics (he has military/LE/SWAT/Armorer training) which is a high compliment since he always gets irritated and points out mistakes in movies. As a female I enjoyed the eye candy himself and fighting sequences. We both thoroughly enjoyed this film.

Excellent, fun, and exciting movie!!
15 July 2017
Some people need to chill with hating on this movie. My husband and I watched it last night and loved it - awesome movie! Couldn't help but root for the God himself - Kong!! He was the best part of the movie. Second best, that sexy English devil Tom Hiddleston (wink). Third? Funny as hell John C. Reilly. Love how they started and ended the film. I really hope they make a sequel as implied after the credits. All that aside it has action, adventure, sexy ass TH, and some very good comedic parts. Please give it a chance!

Best exotic review
24 February 2013
Such a great movie. Perfect cast. The movie has real heart. When you have a cast as wonderful as this one there is nothing they can do wrong. Beautiful relationships and it really feels authentic. My husband and I are obsessed with the Brits for some odd reason, but when you watch a movie such as this it is easy to understand why. I don't like to write reviews that go into plot detail, because why bother watching the movie? I prefer to say it was a great movie that I tell people they should take the time to watch. I think I will buy the book. That is how much I enjoyed it. Don't let the title put you off. Maggie Smith is in it. And Dame Judi. What more does one need?

Jiro Jiro Jiro
7 November 2012
What a great documentary. Jiro is a wonder. He is what all of us should aspire to be. A man who has worked to perfect his craft for almost his entire life. Very humble, respectful, respected-idolized even. A powerful message that seeking perfection is a wonderful thing. Always try to be better and do better. I firmly believe that is what keeps him going. I know some people that are in their fifties that look older than this man! I have always been interested in Japanese culture and manners. Very interesting to see in a different light. Watching him with his sons is really intriguing also. You can tell that this documentary helped Jiro say things that he probably never would have had there not been a camera. The only downside to watching this is, of course, one will crave sushi.

Apocalypto (2006)
10/10
Great movie.
1 November 2012
I really enjoyed this movie. I don't know how accurate this movie is and I really don't care. It has a good story line, characters that you care about and great action sequences. Who cares if they use some modern words? I'm sure that even back then the meaning behind it was understood. Say what you want about Mel, he is a great director. I don't agree with his rantings and ravings, but he does put out some great movies. This is definitely a movie I would watch more than a couple of times. It's no Braveheart, but still good. There were a lot of cool scenes and it was interesting to see some of the past come to life. This is the kind of movie you need patience for.

Braveheart (1995)
10/10
Must see
1 November 2012
I have seen this movie at least 20 times. It is an awesome movie. Great actors and acting. Amazing fighting scenes. Great dramatic and comedic moments. Really interesting characters and relationships. Perfectly cast movie. Only a handful of mistakes that you notice after watching 2 or 3 times. The soundtrack is amazing. David O' Hara is awesome. Love him. This is the kind of movie that you can watch over and over again. I made my husband watch it for the first time and he really enjoyed it. I could not believe that he had never seen it. I know Mel Gibson isn't in his right mind right now, but he did a spectacular job with this movie. You have to have patience to watch this movie.

Step Brothers (2008)
10/10
Classic.
1 November 2012
My husband and I watch this movie a few times a year and have done so since it came out on DVD. Saw it when it came out at the theater and my stomach hurt from laughing so much. We quote this movie constantly. Almost daily,in fact. If you do not think this movie is funny then you have no sense of humor. If you do not quote this movie or recognize a quote from this movie then you are a loser with no sense of humor.It really is a super funny movie. How many times can you say that a movie is funny? I guess enough to meet the ten line minimum to write a review on IMDb. I am trying not to pad this review. Do you think its okay that this review isn't movie quality? We are headed out to The Cheesecake Factory to have some drinks.

Very sweet movie.
1 November 2012
I saw this movie back in 1998 and I remembered I like it, but watched it again today. It's actually a very good movie and has gorgeous scenery and makes you want to go to Tuscany. There is a lot of nudity of both sexes. Gross. I'm not a prude, I just don't like seeing certain body parts on the big screen. Double gross. Liv Tyler is really beautiful, but I think it takes something away from a movie when you see people's giblets and gravy. I wish that all movies just cut away from that stuff-we know what they are going to do!Anyway, the best scenes are between Liv Tyler and Jeremy Irons. There are a couple of scenes that are very weird-must be very Italian. The best part of the entire movie, however, is the house, its gorgeous. Except the ugly statues everywhere.

Not what I expected
1 November 2012
So me and the husband watched this last night. The movie description made us think this would be more of a love story, which it kind of is, but it's more political statement than anything. It has gorgeous scenery and good actors. The only thing that really bothered us about this movie is that the music drowns out the dialogue and we kept asking each other "What did he say?". Michael Caine is always great and Brendan Frasier was actually pretty good, also. The scenes of them together made me a little uncomfortable, only because they are in such an awkward situation. My husband figured out the movie about halfway through and I was just enjoying it. Its worth watching for the scenery alone.

In like a Lamb out like a Lion
31 October 2012
I was about 12 the first time I saw this movie. I was at home with my older sister and it creeped me out. I remember she had to explain some of the scenes to me as I was only 12 and maybe a little young to watch it (but our parents always let us watch movies that as an adult looking back now, am shocked they did). Love the "feel" of this movie - dark, dingy and cold. Anthony Hopkins is amazing. Very chilling, but you can't help but like him. Watching this as an adult still gives me the creeps. Its a way better alternative at this time of year than a horror movie. The sequels are OK-only worth watching because of Hopkins. But this is a classic.

Way better than I thought!
30 October 2012
I was so mad when I heard they were making this movie. I really thought the real Stooges would be rolling over in their graves, but I was pleasantly surprised how good this was.It really does a great job getting the look and feel of the originals without being a caricature of the Stooges. Really impressed with the actors.They all did a wonderful job of paying homage to the originals and giving the movie surprising heart. Larry David always cracks me up. Some of the gags made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. As usual I have to mention my husband really likes this, too.Highly recommend for any Stooges fan and great for the kiddies.

Awesome special effects!
27 October 2012
If you are a Will Farrell fan and don't mind subtitles, then this is a must-see. My husband and I were cracking up the entire time. Will Farrell speaks good Spanish with a bad accent. What this movie lacks in special effects it makes up for with comedy. Great spoof on tele novelas. It kind of reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite and not just because Effron Ramirez is in it. Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernalar are just deliciously cheesy and ridiculous. They are both surprisingly funny in this also. The love scenes were so embarrassing in a good way. This movie makes me want to start watching tele novelas! And to learn Spanish.

Me love this movie
24 October 2012
This movie along with every other Guy Ritchie movie has inspired both me my husband to speak in the most awful British accents and replace "I" with "me". We love the Brits. Although sometimes we do have a hard time understanding what the heck is being said. I like movies that you need to have patience with and pay attention to. I love that Ritchie is loyal and uses mainly the same actors in all his movies. I admit I have a bit of a crush on Vinnie Jones and that I have tried and failed to memorize his Desert Eagle speech, which to me is totally awesome and probably the best scene in the movie. It makes me want to buy that gun. Dennis Farina was a surprise-never really had much of an opinion about him, but he was great in this.

Bad Ass (2012)
5/10
Its so bad its good!
24 October 2012
First of all my husband I only watched this movie because we both love Danny Trejo. The previews made this movie look pretty good. It started out pretty good, but then it just became so bad we were laughing the entire movie. Even good actors can't save cheesy lines. The whole time we just kept saying that Trejo is in his sixties!! Unbelievable. That man is the epitome of the Hollywood dream. From criminal to D movies to great character actor and then starring roles. Awesome! This movie is great to watch Mystery Science 3000 style. We like to try and catch movie mistakes and look up actors while watching every movie. Its fun and funny. Don't try to make it more than that and you will enjoy it.

Rock of Ages (2012)

This movie rocks!
24 October 2012
I cannot believe that there are so many people hating on this movie. Its a MUSICAL for crying out loud! I've watched it three times, once alone and twice with my husband and we love it! Its supposed to be fun and make you sing along and dance to the awesome soundtrack-there isn't one bad song the entire movie! Its not trying to be anything other than that. Its a shame a lot of people aren't getting that. We have told a few of our friends how great it is and they were really surprised. They watched it and loved it,too. The only reason they never thought about watching it was because they heard it was dumb. Give me a break. So that is why I did this review - I want to tell people to give it a try, just remember going into it that it is a MUSICAL.
