So, I think I'm a movie critic.

While Robert was gone, he asked me to keep a list of movies to watch when he get's back. This list has been directed specifically to him, but with the weekend coming up I thought it might be useful to my 3 followers. :)

Duplicity- Julia Robert’s/Clive Owen. Really Good!!! Confusing but had an Oceans Eleven feel. Very well done and worth seeing!

Taken- Awesome!!! You could pick it apart if you wanted, but it was a great action show and had a long lasting effect.

A Haunting in Connecticut- It had the quality of “A Haunting” television series… Very “B” grade, but it had enough to the story that it was worth seeing.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button- This movie was fantastic. It was so well done!!! Kind of long, but I liked that about it.

Knowing- Nicholas Cage.- Really good.

State of Play- It was slow and very realistic. Which I usually like, but I didn’t love this movie. Maybe I missed something.

Tropic Thunder- Not my choice to watch, but even Ben was disappointed in the humor. Looked much better than it actually was. Very Blah for the all star cast.

X-men Origins-Wolverine- I haven’t seen the X-men movies, but I really liked this movie… for a superhero kind of movie.

Terminator Salvation- Okay, I should have LOVED this movie. With Christian Bale and being a terminator movie, but it wasn’t fantastic. The Story was weak, but the movie was made well. 

Star Trek- Don’t laugh… Okay, I have never seen a start trek movie, and don’t remember ever even seeing a full episode of any of the star treks, but I liked this movie…. Even more than terminator salvation (eek)

Angels and Demons- Need I say more? It was great. I think I liked Davinci Code better, but I think I’m the minority that thinks that. Angels and Demons was fantastic.

Twilight- aweful. I had my issues with the book, but throw in bad acting….

The Taking of Pelham 123- Denzel Washington and John Travolta- Entertaining, but has some weak spots. Worth seeing.

Up- a Pixar cartoon. I was skeptical because the story was really strange, but it was cute and made me laugh.

Land of the Lost- Will Ferrell- This was so stupid, but really funny. Worth seeing.

Paul Blart Mall Cop- Ben wanted me to tell you it was good, but it was painfully bad. Stay away.

The International- I was excited about this move. Looked like it was done really well, etc…. I fell asleep I was so bored and Ben said it never really got good.


Public Enemies- Okay, let me set you up for this. When I saw the previews for this movie I immediately gave it the title of “my favorite movie ever” It looked so good. I was very disappointed, but you’ll want to see it just don’t have high expectations like I did 

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- Need I say more?


District 9- This movie was insanely awesome. I have never seen a story line like this before.

Paranormal Activity- I’m not saying anything except to watch this alone in your bedroom. 

2012- Worth seeing, but overly coincidental, and they should have been dead 500 times so it stops being scary.

Brothers- I don’t think they could decide which way they wanted the story to go. War issues, family issues, etc??? It was a bit random… and Toby Maguire (spiderman) is sooooo ugly!!!

Sherlock Holmes- Brilliant. I loved it!!!

The Fourth Kind- This movie claims to have actual footage that they incorporated into the movie. So, if you believe that, it could possibly be one of the scariest movies ever!

New Moon- Okay, now that my expectations are low… it was enjoyable. Still I hate this series, but this one was better than twilight.

It’s Complicated***R***- This was usually not my type of movie, but it was sooooo funny and had Jim from the office in it. I love Meryl Streep and Steve Martin so the movie was going to be great. 

Avatar- This movie has been all the rage. Everything is Avatar. It was what you would expect… maybe a little disappointing. It is very long, but probably worth seeing.

The Lovely Bones- This is a very artsy dark movie that was set in the 70’s. You probably wouldn’t like it.

Defiance- A really good prisoner of war movie. Based on a true story.

The Box- This was weirder than Stephen King on drugs, but it did have a good story.

Amelia- Based on Amelia Earharts life, but I was surprised to like her less than before I saw the movie. I thought the idea would make you believe she was America’s sweetheart, but she was more of a self absorbed slut. The movie was done very well, though, and I loved the time period.

Saw VI- You just have to see it…. You can’t not see a saw 

17 Again- This was actually surprisingly funny… it’s a teeny bopper movie. Also, I think Zack Efron’s character in the 80’s looks like dad when he was a teenager. Mom thinks so too. 

Drag Me to Hell- This movie was done very poorly but I still liked it. Ben couldn’t get past how corny it was.

Childhood Movie Memories

I was shopping the other day and stumbled upon this version of Alice in Wonderland. What a blast to the past this was. I'm sure i watched it a hundred times.



Got me to thinking...

The Canterville Ghost



Mr. Boogedy



Does anyone remember these movies?
