Hellboy II: The Golden Army


I missed the first say ten minutes of the movie but was able to catch up...never go to Atlantic Station on a rainy Sunday for a last minute movie! It was your average super hero flick with the good guys and bad guys...and the good guys win in the end. There was some symbolism as far as how we regard the fragile nature of our earth...or the fact that we don't regard it at all. I did enjoy the love stories that they wove into this sequel and the costume and make-up are really magnificent.

Journey to the Center of the Earth


Not nearly as bad as the reviews I read lead me to believe...I enjoyed it without the 3D but I bet it is cool! It was entertaining and very family friendly. There were a lot of parts where Heather and I jumped or squealed and plenty of nail biting moments.

The Children of Huang Shi (2008)


What a beautiful movie. I liked it a lot more than I had expected. This true story was an extraordinary journey and was very inspirational. Meyers performance was the only part of the movie that lacked something. This is a must see if you enjoy docudramas and wartime stories.

WALL-E


Oh so very cute. It was a wonderful love story and a great family film. This movie did a great job at sticking it to consumerism that's for sure!! I really enjoyed all the underlying messages that this movie conveyed.

Get Smart


Pretty funny...but kind of boring at some points. Steve Carell was great! If it was not for him I don't think the movie would have done so well.

The Love Guru


I liked it. I liked it a lot better than the Adam Sandler movie too. I would chose this one to see if it is a toss up for you. It was just like Austin Powers but with an Indian twist. Very funny!! The sexual comedy that Myers is known for was all through this movie. Loved it!

Savage Grace


No need to see this movie unless you are just really board...that is why I watched it. The ending is somewhat nauseating and disturbing. It is a true story so that is what kept me interested...the fact that people actually did these things to each other. Julianne Moore did a really good job playing this horrible character of a woman. She was somewhat reminiscent of her roll in Boogie Nights.
