The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

YAY! Love them movie. They portrayed every emotion I had in the book into the movie. I still got pissed at the end when Bella didn't want Jacob to leave in the woods (eh? you remember right?). Oh and I still laughed when Bella and Edward were lying down that one night and Bella tried to... well, you know! I am sure you laughed too.

I am totally a Team Edward fan; however, I think in this movie he gave off a creepy vibe instead of an I'm in love you vibe. I wish they would have extended the camping in the woods scenes, because that played a lot into Jacob and Edward's relationship.

Another plus. All you Twihards probably know about The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella, right? Well, I liked how in the movie they incorporated some of that story into the movie, because there were totally some things in the movie that were not in the book. It only made the story that much better and I truly hope that Stephanie Meyers will continuing giving us little short stories about other characters in the book.

I don't know if I can wait until November of 2011 for the first part of Breaking Dawn to come out! My heart is already going pitter patter as that is my favorite book and I have high, high hopes for it. Afterall, they had 3 movies before it to perfect the moods!

Expert Says: 4.5 stars, nailed the mood, they're getting better at this.

Iron Man 2

Lame! Not totally lame, just repeatitive. The plot wasn't much different than the first movie. The effects were the same as well as the love interests.

Iron Man will never stop with his woo is me "I'm just trying to save the World" attitude. It got old at the end of the first movie. Iron Man was cool in the first movie, which helps in bringing this movie up a few notches, because if the first one ws cool, and the second one is like the first, then isn't the second one cool too? In a sense. Not totally.

Iron Man 2 is still fun and entertaining, just unoriginal and lacks creativity. *sigh* Disappointment.

Expert Says: 3 Stars, lacks oringinality, just like the first

The Karate Kid

I loved this movie! I loved the original! I always vote for the underdog and The Karate Kid is about the underdog  *whipsh* coming out on top.

Now, what I liked the most about this remake, is that they didn't take the original line for line, add new actors, and call it a movie. NO! They created something totally different while taking the same concept and basic guidelines of the movie and gave us something new to look at. Kudos to them!

Next on the list, Jaden Smith. HOLY CRAP! I mean AWESOME! I don't want to say that he is just like his father in the sense of his acting. However, the stellarness his father has in his acting was certainly passed on through the generation to his son. Don't get confused, Jaden is NOT following in his father's shadow! Kudos to Jaden!

Now....

Go pick up the jacket!

In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

Old age movies? I love them. This movie? Not so much. There are very few movies that I have ever been able to not finish. This was one of them. I was about 15-20 minutes into it and I switched the movie. I just couldn't follow. The plot wasn't coming, it was a little slow, and the acting was not good! I even like most of the actors/actresses that are in this movie. Maybe it was just poor directing.

Experts Says: 0 Stars, poor acting, poor effects

Cruel Intentions

Sex, drugs, scandal, betrayal, seduction, death... I love seeing the lives of rich people unfold. I find it even more exciting when the lives of rich people fall apart. This movie, while is focuses of a group of teenagers, is no movie for a teenager.

We have Kathryn and Sebastian two sex addicted step-siblings who livelihood is being threatened by the other when Kathryn bets Sebastian that he de-virginize Annette, a girl who wants to wait until marriage. Sebastian succeeds in his goal, but Annette has become something more than just a bet. Now, he has to choose between is epic reputation or the love of his life. Annette has to choose if she can accept Sebastian for who he really is, and Kathryn, must learn to cover up her tracks.

Experts Says: 4 Stars, fun and deceiving

Because I Said So

This is really one of my favorite movies. Before I watched it I assumed it would be about this controlling Mother. In the first few minutes I realized it was not exactly about a controlling Mother, but instead the success a mother wants for her daughter.

While I am not a mother, I am sure other Mothers would agree that sometimes, Moms, overreact and sometimes what the mom feels is in the best interest of the daughter, is not always the case.

The movie is about a single woman who meets a rich architect at an event she is catering for. They end up dating. The single woman then meets a more laid back musician. Eventually, she discovers her mothers ploy, and is forced to choose (or get rid of) one of the men in her life.

Right America: Feeling Wronged - Some Voices from the Campaign Trail

I never thought I would see myself as a fan of documentaries. However, it seems that the more of them I watch, the more I like them.

I would more or less consider this a realistic satire of what Right America went through. While Right America does consist of more than the rednecks from small towns who are paranoid about the government taking away their guns the majority of Right America IS that small town redneck who is afraid of the government coming and taking away their guns.


This movie by no means pretends to be unbiased, it is clearly Left biased and very entertaining for everyone (admit it all you Righty’s you HAD to have laughed too, no? You must still believe that Obama is going to turn this country Muslim).


A lot of how Right America feels cracks me up. It strikes me with more concern for WHAT some people are willing to believe. I have a friend (Righty) who is fairly intelligent and follows politics MORE now that Obama is in office. This friend of mine is completely against Obama and would even send me e-mails that he believed to be true stating Obama was going to make the military pay for their own health care, or that Obama doesn't have a birth certificate, or going to turn the country Muslim. It is completely IMPOSSIBLE to try and tell him otherwise. EVEN though our forefathers were religious, they wanted freedom OF religion, therefore, America has NO established religion. American is NOT a Jewish country, or a Christian county (like many believe because the majority of the citizens are Christian); therefore, it is IMPOSSIBLE to make a country who has no established religion a Muslim country. *End Tangent*


SO.... If an educated man who follows the "issues" can't even use his brain and is so wrapped up in his racial issues, HOW do we expect the rest of Right America to believe?


I love my Mom and bless her heart, but I think she is even one of those who believe Obama wasn't born in the U.S. There comes a point where logic doesn't get through to people anymore and THAT is what I believe the point of this movie was about. While the depiction of Right America was humorous, the VALUES of those that depicted Right America is HOW Right America feels, from country farmer to CEO.

I think she did a good job, and I enjoyed the documentary as entertainment and it will continue to remain on my DVR. :D
