The Pirate Movie (1982)

RATING: 4.5/5
This movie is loosely based on "Pirates of Penzance" with bad 80's cheesy pop songs, sung by Christopher Atkins and Kristy McNichol. First off, after the "Blue Lagoon", I had a hard on for Christopher Atkins. My inner lesbian came out during "Little Darlings" when I remember having a crush on Little Kristy McNicol.
The movie is very dated, don't get me wrong, but so are soooo many other movies at that time and who can't appreciate a good 80's comedy. Any one who has seen this movie knows that it will NEVER when any type of award for it's artistic merits, the cast looks like they had so much fun making it and I doubt anyone took it seriously then.
But I have to say that the movie would be nothing without the performances of "The Pirate King" and the "Major General", who give the movie movie the priceless comedy found in the movie. The movie is a bit of a cult classic. It is one of those movies that you either LOVE or HATE. No one is truly on the fence over this movie.
But the movie does make you wonder who the movie's target demographic was based on the good clean family fun, where this movie was place in the video stores in the 80's, and teenage sexual innuendos that are found in it. Over all, the movie is like to trip down memory lane for me and I just can't get enough.

Lakeview Terrace (2008)

RATING: 4/5
I enjoyed this flick. Samuel L was super psycho and you knew what his issue was for the beginning. It had a good plot and the acting was good. We were attached to the movie and were wanting to see what happened next and how they would stop him. Good job!

Seven (Se7en) (1995)

RATING: 5/5
"What's in the box?" Oh, how we love this movie and not just because it is Gwyneth Paltrow's head (oops, did I spoil it?). Awesome cast, awesome plot and awesome acting. If you have not seen this movie yet, add it and bump this baby to the top of your must see list. You will not be disappointed (unless you really like Paltrow).

The Game (1997)

RATING: 4/5
This is a good thriller that needs to be added to your queues. Even though it is a bit old, the movie keeps you intrigued and you are constantly trying to figure out what is real and what is not. I don't care more for Michael Douglas, but I have to say he is a good person to mess with in the role.

Meet the Robinsons (2007)

RATING: 4.5/5
Not just because this is Disney, but I really did enjoy this. It was totally out of this world. The characters are just that, characters, although I wish Disney would stop using "stars" as voices cause you really have trouble getting their faces out of your minds and focusing on the story it's self.

Stick It (2006)

RATING: 3/5
The movie did not get a lot of hype, but it is basically "Bring it On" for gymnastics. Very predictable and nothing really to write home about. Catch it if you are adding it to your netflix queue, but it is not necessary to bump to the top of your list.

Mean Girls (2004)

RATING: 4.5/5
Mean Girls is a fun and enjoyable movie. People say it is the "Heathers" of the 2000s, but it does not even come close. This is about people who like to stab you in the back or basically just another day in high school.
