THE BUCKET LIST is everything you expect, and then some. One of the best movies we've seen all year.
DADDY DAY CAMP cutsey flick, made me LOL 3x.
P.S. I LOVE YOU was also a great movie. HIGHLY recommended! I'm even gonna read the book.
JUNO good. But you knew that already. Somewhat unrealistic. The main character is waaaay more mature than ANY teen I know, which kind of makes it unrealistic.
DAN IN REAL LIFE surprised me. I thought it was gonna be stupid, it was actually a great story. Kind of edging on one of those 'groundhog day - esque' in that the mail character kind of gets kicked in the head repeatedly (which annoys me) ... but overall, good.
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR is an ABSOLUTE MUST SEE.
NEARING GRACE - I've always loved David Morse ... his broken leg has finally healed (lol) ... This is one of those movies that completely 100% takes you out of yourself, in into their lives. I loved it.

No Country For Old Men
We watched No Country For Old Men tonight.
i get the message
but
this movie takes the cake
for having the WORST ending of ANY movie I've EVER SEEN in my LIFE!
Seriously. No closure, WHATSOEVER.
which was the cohen brother's intent - to add to the films message
but that's not why I watch movies.
I prefer happy endings
& even a sad ending is okay now & then
but NO ENDING?
I swear, we both threw up our arms when the end credits started -
and said
whatthefuck.

I know who killed me
Thinking it was a different movie, we accidentally watched I Know Who Killed Me with Lindsay Lohan. I don't generally watch psycho-thriller-blood-n-gore-murder movies ... mostly because the edge-of-your-seat thing bugs me. For me, it feels like anxiety - plain & simple. I don't enjoy anxiety.
That being said, I did enjoy the end story ... the twist made this one special.
However ... movie-watchers are a saavy bunch. We know when we're being cheated. The editors screwed up blatantly in part of the movie, where the star has already lost a limb, yet -- POOF -- her sleeve is loose & there it is! And lots of dark, motion-filled scenes made me think ... geez, they're making me use my imagination a little too much here. THEY"RE supposed to be telling the story. Almost as though they didn't have enough cash to build a proper set.
Some of the scenes were too long & drawn out, while other important ones were over in the blink of an eye.
So ... ya.
Not thrilled with this one.

Movies
Unaccompanied Minors was hilarious & very, very fun. Perfect family night movie!
In the Land of Women was great. Excellent story line. Could have had a stronger, more creative ending, but overall very enjoyable. Great acting.
Good Luck Chuck was entertaining & made me burst out lauhing several times. Definitely for a younger audience though ... well, 18 - 30-something.
The Santa Clause 3 was a fun family movie. It's been at the top of our Blockbuster Queue for a while ... since November 07. We just got it. LOL
The Game Plan was really corny but very fun & cool at the same time. Just when I thought the predictable parts were about to happen, the story twisted. I laughed, I cried. Everything I look for in a movie.

Bourne
Bourne Ultimatum
Aside from the fact that I mutilated ALL ten of my already pathetic fingernails, I FREAKIN LOVED this 3rd in the series of Jason Bourne movies. TOTALLY left me saying: "I cannot WAIT 'till the next one comes out!"
There was only one scene in the movie that was a bit too fake & drawn out ... the entire rest of it was ...
Whew, man.
Awesomeness at it's finest.

More movie reviews
Mr Woodcock - Very silly, entertaining, Love Seann William Scott. The bonus is, you get to see him & Billy-Bob in wrestling outfits ... HA!
3:10 to Yuma - awesome awesome awesome! Even if you don't like westerns, this one has an amazing story-line. Great movie!
PiGS - well, they tried ... but it just didn't do anything for me.
Oceans Thirteen - Lived up to its promises. I've been very impressed by all three 'Oceans' flicks.
Superbad - if you only see one movie this year, make sure this one is it. It's absolutely factually rediculous, and completely hilarious. Takes American Pie to the next level. I AM McLovin.
