The Muppets!

For my Birthday this year I took my nephew to see The Muppets. I must admit that I don't remember alot about the muppets. I vaguely remember watching the muppet babies and I had this amazingly awesome Muppets Commadore 64 game, but I don't remember the movies.
With that being said... I really liked it. All the cameo appearances were great and it was fun to pick the people out. I think that its a good movie for the whole family, Silly stuff for the kids while still having jokes for the adults. Mild spoiler here** I was very amused with the Jimmy Carter reference.

Another Lame-o scary movie

Tis the season for crappy horror movies. We recently watched Session 9. Apparently Shy and I have come to an unspoken agreement to watch a movie before the new episode sunday nights of Walking Dead (short plug here, so far really digging walking dead, season one is out on video with only 6 ep so its easy to check out). Unfortunately the agreement seems to be just scary movies.
We had a rocky start with Session 9. Netflix played it for us but not with the sound anywhere near when people were actually talking. Luckily Amazon had it on instant watch (possibly unluckily, it was lame) I will sum it up quickly, crazy man killing everyone without noticing that he is doing it and that if we let the evil voice in it will help with the crazy.
There is nothing i could say to make this movie interesting. It just dragged on and on and on, like a zombie that won't die. Speaking of Zombies, Walking dead, tell your friends.
*What how did this picture get here :)*

Oops

So Apparently the couple updates done from my phone, never actually updated. So Sorry. With Wintereen coming up There should be actually some real updates. I admit though part of the delay comes from my 55 hour work weeks and the fact that my hp computer is a piece of crap. (word to the wise never get an Hp.. Ever)

Anyways Short update. Tonight we knocked out a classic and horror movie in the name of the Halloween Weekend. The Exorcist! I can sum this up easily. While yes, it is considered a classic so it is important that I finally watched it, I was bored. It had a few creepy moments, the girl was gross and creepy. It took FOREVER to get anywhere. and **spoiler Alert*** It had what every 70 and 80's horror movie. Green goo, demons, heads spinning, death and like every demon movie the priest at the end can't handle the pressure and asks the demon to take him instead and DIES.

If it wasn't for watching the Tv show Walking Dead, the night could have been a bust :)


*also no pictures, no one wants to see that

Jane Eyre

Admittedly, i should have written this ages ago when the movie was fresh in my mind. But I was so disappointed at the time that I didn't feel like writing anything about it. I think I might give it another chance in a couple months though.
So the new movie... Jane wasn't plain enough for me. I felt the red room wasn't played out right. The whole thing with StJohn stank, like alot. Most importantly I didn't feel for mr Rochester. I have this new quest to find a good Jane Eyre addition. When I find this great addition I will work on posting it right away. I hope its not a lost cause like Persuasion. I have seen every Persuasion out there and they all suck


This week will be a post on the last Harry Potter

Gnomeo and Juliet

Basic run down of the movie is probably an easy guess. Its Romeo and Juliet, made funny, featured by garden gnomes. So the Gnomes are the garden statues of neighboring gardens of Montague and Capulet. For unknown reasons the Gnome's have been war ing for all time. Easy plot right?
Anyways I wasn't thrilled and often found myself bored. I will fully admit that part of this probably comes from the fact that I really really dislike the story of Romeo and Juliet. First there is all the hype and 15 year old girls gush over it, without really understanding the plot. Yes prejudice is wrong, don't fight for no reason and don't blindly hate people. But NO people this is not a romantic story, it's about horny teens. People never remember that the whole reason Romeo was at the party where he met Juliet was because his friends took him to get over is greatest love.. you know whats her name that no one remembers because they don't pay attention (her name is Rosaline). It bugs me.
Back to our Gnomes.. It had some funny parts but It probably would have made a better short then actual movie. So watch the trailer, have a laugh and then go watch a good movie.

MIA

So Oops! Apparently I missed the entire month of May.. and half of June. I can't really give a good excuse. I have been crazy busy with the new job. Plus my blog has been a bit of a let down, I just don't have that writing skill I once had. Plus for those of you that know me, I'm much better in person.
Anyways, Beastly, Jane Eyre and Gnomeo and Juliet coming soon to a blog near... um.. here

Lincoln Lawyer

So I have been sitting on this movie for a while. I know I have very much been slacking on my writing goals. I use to find writing so much easier when I was younger. Apparently it isn't like riding a bike, it can be forgotten.. Anyways
Lincoln Lawyer. The Lincoln lawyer is about a LA defense lawyer Mick, that is often on the go and conducting business in the back set of his Lincoln car. He ends up trying to defend a rich pretty boy, real estate agent accused of attacking a woman, raping her and basically beating the tar out of her.
I liked it. While yes a few things in the movie were predictable, I found it over all easy to get sucked into. I liked the ethical problems that he came up against and the struggle to do the right thing. It was serious while still having humor. I would recommend it.


***Spoiler Alert***
Don't read further unless you have seen the movie or don't care if it is ruined for you
I did find making Frank Levin in the movie homosexual just not necessary. It didn't have anything to do with the story. We never met his partner, it had nothing to do with him being a good detective or not. Plus he wasn't killed from a hate crime, so why mention it?
Also I felt they needed to explain more with the Roulet family. So the mom was raped, like four years before and that's why her son carried a knife. Why would he go around raping and beating people after he was so 'horrified' by his mother's experience. The only thing I can figure is that they came up with the story as a sympathy card to throw suspension off the kid. Well thats my thoughts on it anyways.
