Horrible Bosses

I was really excited to see this one because I love a good comedy and the triple threat of Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day is sure to be funny.... and boy was it!

The concept behind the movie is pretty relatable to most because we have all had a boss that we weren't that fond of, but the bosses in the movie take it to the next level thus why they decide to try to "get rid of them."  All sorts of shenanigans throughout make for some pretty ridiculous fun.  I have to say though one of the craziest parts of the movie is Jennifer Aniston's character Dr. Julia Harris, she plays a super hot sexual harassing dentist that is so unlike her typical roles, but it works!

Overall it will make you laugh.... go see it, but leave the kiddos at home.

Rated: R

*Drug Use
*Lanuguage
*Violence
*Sexual References

The Adjustement Bureau

This was a movie I really wanted to see in theaters but just never made it, so I was way excited when some friends invited us over for the 4th and we had some mighty delicious hot dogs and fixings followed by The Adjustment Bureau.

I love a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat and wondering what is going to happen next.  This movie does that really well and then adds some romance to make it a great movie mixture that both men and women will enjoy!

I don't want to give too much away so I will just say Matt Damon and Emily Blunt really have great chemistry on screen and I would highly recommend hitting up the Red Box for this one!

Rated: PG-13

*Violence
*Sexual Encounters (no nudity or anything graphic)

Green Lantern

I wasn't sure I wanted to see this movie in the theater (more of a Marvel girl myself), but when it was the only movie in theaters that we hadn't seen between us and another couple we decided we would give it a try, why not I do love the comics!

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the movie!  I was really concerned it would be super cheesey and so obvious it was digitally enhanced with all of the outer space scenes and strange creatures throughout but it was done really well and I was reminded why I LOVE comics.  Added bonus, let's just admit it ladies (most men will admit too) Ryan Reynolds is not bad to look at and he is in ridiculous shape for this movie and he also brings his comedic personality to his character Hal Jordon which made for a great combination and easy to watch.

Overall a fun movie you could take the whole family to, but I think you have to at least enjoy other comic movies to think this one was good.

Rated: PG-13

*Intense Action
*Minimal Language

Sorry it has been too long!

So I have been a bit behind on my movie blogging but I intend to get all caught up today!  Get ready for reviews of Green Lantern, The Adjustemnet Bureau, Horrible Bosses, Hall Pass, Lincoln Lawyer, and Harry Potter Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Stay tuned!

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

First off the above was the fabulous t-shirt I bought and wore all day just for this occasion to represent the one and only Optimus Prime and my excitement for the new Transformers release!

I don't even know where to begin with Transformers: Dark of the Moon because it was all around AMAZING and quite possibly the best one yet or at least as good as the first one, which doesn't happen very often when talking about a third movie!  The story was so well written and I loved how this movie may have been action packed and kept me on the edge of my seat but still had lots of humor and great innuendos.  I wasn't sure how they were going to write Megan Fox or "Mikaela" out of the mix, but I will say they did a good job making the transition to "Carley."  Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is not only super hot, but she can act too and it doesn't hurt that Rosie and Shia have great chemistry.  My pick, keep Carley coming back!

The special effects in all of the Transformer movies have always been ridiculous but I feel like they really manage to take it to a whole new level in this movie by slowing down some of the transforming and fight sequences and creating new and more complicated characters, just so AMAZING to watch.  I am always left in utter awe of the people that work their magic on these movies!

One of the great parts of the movie is how they used actual events and footage that happened in the 1960's to further develop the plot.  Being that I wasn't alive in the 1960's I had not seen a lot of the footage from when the first launch to the moon took place and they use actual footage from those events which I really enjoyed.

The movie as a whole just worked and brought back the excitement I felt after watching the first!  It is over two and a half hours but I didn't even realize I was in there that long because I was enjoying the movie so much!  If you can't tell I am super jazzed and can't wait to go see it again!  MUST SEE in the theater Summer movie!

Rated PG-13
*Action
*Violence
*Sexual Innuendos

Besides the action they kept it pretty clean so families could go see it together!  ENJOY, I know I did!

True Grit

Well first off I have to admit I LOVE a good western and I was really excited to see True Grit in the theater but it just didn't happen.  So last night's Red Box excitement was non other than True Grit.  I loved every minute of it!  Jeff Bridges did an awesome job (I now know why he was nominated), Matt Damon pulled off the western cowboy role quite well, and I thought Hailee Steinfeld stole the show, what an up and comer!  Loved the sense of adventure and chase that was portrayed quite well.  So worth seeing if you love a good western and I really think you would enjoy it even if you don't!

I have been told that the original was better so I think that will be next on the Red Box.  I will let you know what I think ;)

Rated PG-13

*Violence - shoot outs (what else do you expect in a good western)
*Some Language
