Bridesmaides

Well I must say that people really built this movies up for me, I was told "My face hurt I laughed so hard" and I even heard "funnier than The Hangover."  So I was intrigued, it instantly turned into a must see for me.  I am a big fan of Kristen Wiig on SNL so I went in with really high hopes and expectations only to be let down.  I think people really built this movie up in my mind like it was a ridiculously funny comedy, when in reality it was a romantic comedy that was a bit sad.  I think if I new nothing about the movie and went in with a clean slate I would have been more impressed.

Overall it was a good movie and had some funny parts and a cute story about how crazy weddings can be but turned out to be a let down for me.

Rated R

-Use the "F" word a lot
-Sex scenes, but no nudity
-Barf, I am personally not a fan so I like to pre-warn others who aren't big fans

*Side note:  I noticed there are at least four parts in the trailer below that aren't even in the movie....

The Hangover: Part II

What can I say about The Hangover: Part II except HILARIOUS!!  This time Stu is getting married and his bride to be, Lauren is from Thailand thus why Stu is getting married in Thailand.  Well and what kind of wedding would it be without The Wolf Pack in attendance.

Yes the story line has reminiscence of the first movie, but they take it to the next level in Bangkok.  After a night of debauchery Phil, Stu, and Alan wake up in Bangkok not able to remember anything and Lauren's little brother Teddy (who happens to be the father's pride and joy) has gone missing.  So the hunt is on.... monkey's, drugs, boats, and the ridiculous Mr. Chow help reveal what really happened one crazy night in Bangkok!  Be ready for the unexpected!

Better than the first, no way.  Worth a trip to the theater, absolutely!  Super funny and a great follow up to the first and the pictures at the end, well all I can say is they are more ridiculous than the first movie and I wasn't even sure that was possible!  What can I say I LOVE The Hangover!!

Rated R

-Nudity: wienus & boobs

-Drug Use

-Foul Language: they use the "F" Word a lot

-Lots of sex talk

*Would leave the kids at home for this one, adult movie =)

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

In honor of the newest Pirates moving coming out on Friday, I had to show my enthusiasm so I wore my red skull scarf all day and too the movie, thank you Meghann Will!  Well I thought the 4th installment of Pirates of the Caribbean was AWESOME and included all the essentials: adventure, sword fights, action, a love interest, returning characters from the previous movies, and of course Captain Jack Sparrow!  Johnny Depp just does an amazing job (Captain Jack Sparrow is one of my favorite rolls Johnny Depp has ever played) and has great chemistry with Penelope Cruz whose character Angelica is a former love of Johnny Depp.  Angelica, Capt. Jack and a few other familiar faces take journey to seek out "The Fountain of Youth."

Lots of adventure along the way of course with some new characters, they introduce mermaids, a bible thumper as they call him, a father daughter duo, and a familiar face switches sides.  I have to tell you when I heard there were mermaids I was really excited thinking in relation to Ariel in The Little Mermaid, but these are not your typical mermaids, I will leave it at that just expect the unexpected!

I really enjoyed the story.  It was well done, they do incorporate past characters but if you haven't seen any of the other movies you could still go see this movie and enjoy it without thinking "I guess I should have seen the others first cause I don't know what is going on."  I think there will for sure be a fifth and I don't want to give anything away so just go see it!

Rated PG-13

-Lots of action
-Sword Fights: people do get stabbed but Disney does a good job of moving the camera before you actually see anything gory but you know what happened
-Some frightening events where they catch you off guard, made me jump
-No nudity, but the mermaids long hair is what covers their chest

Overall Disney did the best they could to keep it family friendly, depending on what your children typically watch maybe leave the younger ones at home.  You can watch the trailer below and it gives you an idea of what the movie entails!

Side Note: Stay through the credits their is a little teaser after the credits!

Never Say Never

Ok, I know what you are all thinking really Sarah Justin Bieber, but I have to say this kid has talent, heart and pretty sweet hair too!  The movie is basically a documentary of how he got started as an entertainer and then builds up to his Madison Square Garden performance.  So I have to say I found Never Say Never inspiring.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I knew I was intrigued after seeing the preview in theaters.  I don't like to judge a book by its cover so I watched it and LOVED IT!  I could have lived without the crying girls who are ALL obsessed with Justin and ALL want to marry him, but it took me back to my first concert get ready.... New Kids on the Block!  I tried to remember what it was like to be 10 again and have that starry eyed crush, I was a huge Joey McIntyre fan.  What I love about Justin Beiber was that he never gave up on his dream No after No after No, but he kept going.  Side note, I guarantee all the labels that passed on Justin are kicking themselves now for missing this cash cow =) I think it is a great reminder to never give up on a dream no matter how unattainable it may seem!

Overall I think the movie gave me insight into who Justin Beiber is: a small town guy from Canada who is down to earth, loves his family, his fans, his friends, and loves to perform!  A bit cheesy yes, but who doesn't love a little cheese.  Would I watch it again well.... Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh Baby YES!

Rated G

*Family Friendly - great for all ages

~Coming Soon: Pirates of the Caribbean On Strange Tides going to see it this weekend!!  Can't wait!

Fast Five

Fast Five was so much fun and keeps your adrenaline pumping throughout!  I have watched all five of the Fast and the Furious movies just to see if each would be better than the last, but the original was by far the best until now.  I have a hard time with sequels, prequels and so on when they don't include the original cast.  So in the 4th movie when they brought back Vin Diesel and Paul Walker I was thrilled.  In this 5th movie they bring back all of the main characters from each movie and it really works!  The story was good, the action was ridiculous, the ladies smokin' hot, and the cars well it is a Fast and Furious movie so you can just imagine!!  I loved every minute of it from start to finish and it kept me on the edge of my seat wanting more.  The way they leave it at the end this may be the last of the Fast movies, but I thought for sure these movies where done sometime ago.  Keep the original cast and I will keep watching =)

Rated PG-13

-Lots of action

-Nothing to gory or graphic blood wise

-Sexy ladies but no nudity

*If you go see it let me know what you think and I recently learned that if you stay through the credits there is a hint for the next movie!

It all began with an idea....

So last week I was at the movies, just sat down in my chair and the previews began.  Side note - I am a big fan of previews this is where Richard and I decide whether it is a MUST SEE or wait it out until Red Box.  One after another each more AMAZING than the next.... Summer Movie Previews!  Then it came to me, why not share my love of movies with others.  With so many great movies on the horizon.... The Hangover 2, X-Men First Class, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 just to name a few off the top of my head.

I thought it would be fun to share my thoughts every time I go to the movies or watch a new movie (also like to hit up the Red Box).  Hope you enjoy what is to come.... Happy Movie going!
