Tangled

Ok so I have to admit I will always be a bit of a kid at heart and I do enjoy a good old fashion Disney. There is something enchanting to Belle coming down the staircase to the Beast (just saying he is way better looking as Beast then when he goes all human again), Aurora dancing in the forest or Omegra being all snarky with Hercules.
Tangled is of course the retelling of Rapunzel. More and more movies these days are adding a little more girl power then some of the original stories had, but who can complain about that. In this version the Hair is magical, the tower is still there but she longs to leave the towers to go on a small adventure. Enter the dashing thief that climbs the tower to hide from the law.
I have to say, I loved the film! I took the niece and nephew, we had a blast. I actually have already pre-ordered the movie (it comes out later this month). It had girl power, it had fighting and humor, and in the end most people have a mildly happy ending. Plus it had some great, randomly quotable dialogue
In conclusion.. Go see it, take a kid if it makes you feel better. But its a good movie.

Sidebar: The ending to Beauty and the Beast is not listed above as a spoiler because, lets face it, if you didn't know that already you probably live under a rock, and shouldn't have internet service. Just sayin

I am Number Four

I am Number Four, is a movie about a kid John who is really an alien with slowly developing special powers. There are Nine Aliens all together, spread out hiding from the Scary evil aliens that are killing them in number order (they are each designated by number).
This movie like many others is based off a book. For once I haven't read the book first, so there is no fear of me whining about how yet again they ruined a perfectly good book.
I have heard many reviews about this movie and how it stank up a storm. I actually rather liked it. Timothy Olyphant might have something to do with that (star of Justified, watch it and thank me later). I'm not saying its going to win an oscar, but i did find myself drawn in and curious about where the story will go next.
Its fun, go for it!

The Rite

Yeah I know it has been ages, but in my defense after seeing the Rite I got the flu. It was terrible, and i didn't want to think about any movies for a long time. Of course then I had the guilt for not keeping up on my goal of posting, so that too delayed it. But without further ado...
The Rite! The movie is about a troubled seminary student Michael that comes from a family of undertakers. Michael is sent to Italy to take a course on excorcism, where he meets Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins). In the end Father Lucas becomes possessed and Michael has to attempt an exorcism despite his lack of belief.
While I will admit that Anthony Hopkins does creepy really well. The film was over all a let down. I like to judge a scary movie by how creep-ed out I am after the fact. I have flashes of scary movies in my head going back to early childhood. I thought nothing more about this film from the moment I walked out of the theater. Plus there was this tacky scene towards the end when Father Lucas's face goes all blackened and demon like, it was soo lame.
Final Verdict.. Don't bother go rent a classic horror
