Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans


The movie is hilarious and completly shows this asshole cop having his life torn a part. It's one of those plots where it starts with one problem and which leads to another, and another, etc... Instead of handling these problems and issues the correct way he uses eccentric thinking and his gun to try and resolve it. Of course this leads to more problems!

Irrational thinking entertains me and Cage does a great job showing us just how bad things can really get. He is a coke snorting, asshole, in love with a prostitute, and uses his gun too much for his own good. He's fucking crazy - well played. Just when you think he has turned it all around he goes back to his old tricks again.

As a whole the movie was a little bit of everywhere and I was really pissed they kept throwing in these dangerous/wild animals. Snakes, Alligators, Fish? It was all a little pointless to me!

The Social Network


Jesse Eisenberg, we saw him in Zombieland (the movie I disliked but still reccommended); I'm still liking him. We could probably say by now he has a natural dry humor and is fairly sarcastic himself. Either that or directors see him as that and keep casting him in those roles. And for some reason he keeps reminding me of Michael Cera in Juno.

The Winklevoss twin take me back to the school yard and fighting over the sand box, and was I following along correctly? A 65 million dollar settlement? Which included a confidentiality agreement? Guess that's all shot to hell! Thank you David Fincher and Columbia Pictures.

I was impressed. It is not a Documentary like I thought (goes to show how much I watch previews). It was not a chronological tale of "how Mark Zuckerberg made his millions." This is witty tale about a couple college students who start a business, and get over their heads, all while trying and succeeding in screwing one another over. Brilliance at it's best.

Raise your hand if you are addicited to Facebook? Now, keep your hand raised if you know anything about it's beginnings, or more specifically that Sean Parker dipped his greedy, nasty, self-absorbed fingers into the profits? Really? Well, the point was to say how much Justin Timberlake looks like shit in this movie. Someone, please, tell me it was make-up that made his jar hidiously square and gave the illusion of cellulite on his cheeks? Please. Well played. Well played.

The movie is laugh-out-loud funny (who the hell started this saying?). I was laughing after every other line. If you enjoy sarcasm, wittiness, or just want to hate on Justin's cellulite cheeks this is the movie for you to go see. I have no doubt in my mind that all the actors accurately depictied each inidividual character, and if they didn't that is a shame.

Edge of Darkness


 This movie is alright. It is suspensful. I wanted, I NEEDED to know why this woman was shot, why his daughter? What did she do? I had to know. With that said, once I knew I was like Oh! Go figure. This movie is big Corporate, capitalist cover-up slash conpiracy story. Once you find out the why, you might be a little mad that you watched it.

I can compare this movie to Christmas time. So, all year you have begging, begging for a Gateway desk top computer, fully loaded with everything imaginable. You see a rather large box wrapped under the tree with your name on it. You know this is it! It is your Gateway computer. You open it... And guess what? It's a T.V.

Now, you are not ungrateful. A T.V. is nice too, but it is not the computer you have been asking for all year.

Matilda


I loved this movie when I was a little girl! In fact, I am sure if I watched it today, I would still love it! It is a tale of a neglicted little girl, who is forced to go to this school where there is a HORRIBLE principle who still thinks we're living in the Dungens Era, because she has the closet that she puts kids in. The awfulness of this principle and how Matilda overcomes it is exciting. It will make every little girl wish she had those powers. She struggles between using this for good and bad; however, it is a good thing she has a teacher who is sweeter than Honey.

Experts Says: 4 Stars, cutest movie for little girls.

The Town


It is just another bank heist movie, but it's SOOO good! I love movies that have trickery in them, I don't mean Red Herrings. I mean, the characters thought this shit through and they have a plan, a plan to execute, and plan of escape! *crack the whip* This one had it all, mixed in a love story, and some she's-not-my-baby-momma-drama.

Blake Lively will amaze you with her skankiness and piss you off at the same time. Stupid hooker! I could have done without the last 5 scond screen shot of the movie. Directors are always fucking up the closing of a movie. *sigh*

Regardless, this is a must see, don't take the kids though, within the first 10 minutes we get a little bit of steamy action. And WHO the hell... Names their child Shine!? Crack heads...

Food, INC


Why didn't anyone tell me in 2008 about this movie? I know I could have avoided gaining 20 pounds in the last year! Let me just say this movie is a huge eye opener to where our food comes from. Not only where it comes from, but how it is raised. I literally dry heaved through 25% of the movie. If you eat like shit, if you can't seem to loose that last 5 pounds, or if you are having trouble strating a new diet, this movie will definitly cure all those concerns and put you on the right track! I know it did for me! In fact, my household is now taking steps to go completly vegan!!!

Expert Says: 5 Stars, very scary, very informative
