Uh, you need to see this movie. Like now. Actually more like yesterday. I’m a fan of most comic book movies anyway, but the X-Men movies are among my favorites. And this is hands down my favorite of the X-Men … Continue reading →

Holy cats, it was hilarious. Kristen Wiig is funny, Melissa McCarthy steals the show, and I honestly haven’t laughed this hard at a movie in a loooooong time. See it now! Summer blockbuster tally = 1-1-0

It was enjoyable – Thor is likable, Natalie Portman is likable, Kat Dennings is her normal sarcastic self, Loki is likable despite being an obvious baddie, Thor’s buddies are likable, and there are more than a few good laughs to … Continue reading →

…and I use that term loosely, but since it’s technically still summer, there you go. Really, really quite good! Much more clever than I was expecting, but it really was a witty, insightful teenaged movie. I really like Emma Stone, … Continue reading →

No, seriously. When I went to buy my ticket, I honestly had to ask Liz what the name of the movie we were seeing was…again! Which is strange because it was actually a really cute, sweet, funny movie! I guess … Continue reading →

…and then I saw Dinner for Schmucks! Which was actually a lot funnier than I thought it was going to be – I thought it looked fun from the previews, but good old Entertainment Weekly didn’t exactly rave about it, … Continue reading →

…I’m going to send you to see Rachel instead. Just substitute ‘Liz and Rachel’ any time you see ‘Liz and Anne’ and you’ll be just fine. I’m with you, Rachel – I was laughing so hard at the lion/tuna argument, … Continue reading →

I was just about to type that this movie was EPICALLY GOOD, when I noticed it’s tag line. AND IT’S TRUE! I’m just back from seeing Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and it was fantastic! Funny and sweet and frenetic … Continue reading →

Okay, here’s the weird thing. Even though it stars people I like – Steve Carrell, Russell Brand, and the perfect-husband-height Jason Segel – and even though Gru is cute and the little girls are cute and the little evil details … Continue reading →

. . . AAAAAAAAAAAAAA! To be honest, I would have been happy if it was just two hours of the BWAAAAA BWAAAAA noise from the trailers, but…IT WAS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE! Don’t worry, I’m not going to give anything … Continue reading →

So I like Cameron Diaz, I like Muse (which plays over the trailer), and, somehow, they seem to have managed the impossible here – making Tom Cruise seem likable. And appealing! Also? They make him seem as tall as Cameron … Continue reading →

And much like Prince of Persia, what you see is what you get! Want lots of explosions? Check. Want lots of crazy stunts, many of which involve airplanes and/or oversized weaponry? Check! Want a tank falling out of an airplane? … Continue reading →

We had planned to go see Toy Story 3 yesterday, but at the last minute, decided to go see it at the nearby drive-in. So we stocked up on candy and headed out. We ended up getting there two hours … Continue reading →

I was a little wary of this – how many times can Shrek be clever, after all? (And, frankly, if you ask me, the third one wasn’t – except for the princesses kicking ass at the castle part…) I was … Continue reading →

Liz and I went to see Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time today and, despite some very annoying technical difficulties with the sound for a bit, we both agreed that it was actually pretty fun! I mean, there’s not … Continue reading →
