Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me (1992)

RATING: 2.5/5
So far I am not that impressed with the pilot episode that we watched last night. It was cheesy and a little bizarre how everyone is acting. I am going to press on with the series with a couple episodes tonight.
I spent most of the time seeing all the people and finding out who they are today. We have the guy from ER who was the principal at the school and we have the devil from Reaper who was Laura's dad.

Fool's Gold (2008)

RATING: 2.5/5
Boring from the beginning, comedy almost slapstick which is not Matthew's strong point and not much romance to be a romantic comedy. The chemistry between Matthew and Kate was almost non-exsistant. The movie is so predictable that is almost hurt to watch it all. It is a treasure hunt that has all the typical ingrediants: The hero, the competition who comes to the rescue at the end and the bumbling idiots who are trying to get the treasure because they are greedy. There was nothing great about it, nothing to make it stand out but I did not hate the movie either.

The Wedding Singer (1998)

RATING: 4.5/5
The Wedding Singer is probably only one of those movies you would watch if you were killing time for another show to come on, etc... Drew is at her best here in this romantic comedy. Adam is charming, but yet annoying at times. The music is cool if you like the 80's and the movie does not take itself too seriously. It is a fun movie that is entertaining and is one of my favorites of Drew Barrymore.

D.E.B.S. (2004)

RATING: 4/5
I remember watching this when it first came out on DVD and having no real clue what it was about. You know Netflix will say if you like this, you should like this. So, I tried it and we sat an watched it and liked it. Without knowing much about the story, we were surprised to find a fun entertaining story about lesbians and not take itself so serious. With that, we bought the DVD and I sat back and watched again about a year or so later and not as entertaining as the first time.
Yes, it is still fun to have decent lesbian fun movies, but when you look at it for review purposes and think about what others would think, etc... It was cheesy and poked fun at all the james bond, inspector gadget or any super spy detective stories without being slapstick. It is fairly entertaining and and had an original storyline.

Wanted (2008)

RATING: 5/5 
I have to say that I was very excited to see this movie and had been for months since I saw the trailer. My expectations were very high, and I was not disappointed.
Everyone in the movie was great. There were plot twists, action, and nudity...full of testosterone. But the one thing that I loved about it was the humor that was infused throughout the entire movie. I have not seen a action movie done this well in a very long time.
I absolutely would not change a thing. The direction was amazing, and I love that they used some lesser known Chicago landmarks. It gives me hope for other directors and location scouts to do the same thing for other cities.
I will be watching this one again...when it comes out. I do think they deserve some of my money for this one.

Men in Black (1997)

RATING: 4/5 
Fun, campy, and not at all serious, this movie was perfect for the time it came out. Although I really dislike Tommy Lee Jones and his voice annoys me, Will Smith makes the movie. He makes fun of himself and has a good time with this movie. I am glad to see it finally coming out on Blu-Ray, so I can get it and retire the laserdisc (which has disc rot). Overall this is just a entertaining fun movie to have a good time with.

Lilo & Stitch (2003)

RATING: 4/5 
I fought this movie for a long time and even thought that Stitch was an overrated Disney character that is more about hype than quality. Boy was I wrong. All hail Stitch and the characters in this Lilo & Stitch.
We borrowed this movie from Laura and finally watched it last night. I have to say I have not laughed that hard in a long time from a comedy, let alone an animated movie. At times I wanted to cry too because the story was very well written and you really felt the sadness this characters felt about the loss of family and finding happiness.
The character of Lilo is just like watching a little kid being a little kid. The dialog was well written for her and like I said, you really feel her. Disney did an excellent job with this movie and it is good see a real feel good movie that has great Disney charm.
