Can you believe it’s been 11 years since Toy Story 2? I didn’t even realize it had been that long.
I don’t simply recommend this movie. I HIGHLY recommend this movie. If you’ve seen and loved the originals, please, go see this one. I laughed and I cried. It’s the last 20 minutes of this movie that really get you.
I’m really torn about this movie. I liked it, but part of me is ashamed to say so. Make no mistake, this movie is not for everyone.
Here’s the story: Elsa (Sarah Polley) and Clive (Adrian Brody) are biologists working for a pharmaceutical company called Nerd. They are also in a relationship with each other. In their search for cures for the world’s worse ailments, they decide to secretly take an existing experiment further, and splice animal DNA with human DNA. The result is a creature called Dren. Nerd backwards. How clever. They take care of it as if it were their child/pet. The creature grows at an accelerated speed, which means that in a few short weeks, they have a full grown human animal hybrid they can no longer control.
I’ve decided that I like Russell Brand. He is one entertaining mother fornicator. I try not to swear in these, which is very hard for someone like me, so please forgive the cheesy way I chose to express myself. Moving on….
Every now and then, I enjoy a “bad” movie.
I enjoy going to the movies alone every now and then. Out of the 3 interesting movies that came out this weekend, Killers was the one my RMP (regular movie partner) wasn’t interested in. So, I used my points and got to see it for free.
Let me start by saying I’m a really big fan of the show. I own and have watched the entire series many times over, loved the first movie, and I also loved this one. I loved it so much, I may just go see it again. I laughed so hard I missed some of it I’m sure. At one point, Samantha is in shorts and half naked, in the middle east, flipping off a bunch of men who are ogling in shock at her after she has dropped her condoms on the ground. All this in the middle of a hot flash. These men were going to pray.
I usually try to go to good movies. How do I decide which movies are going to be worth my 13$ ticket price, 25$ snack price and 2-3 hours of my time?
The trailers.
Here are a few gems I felt like sharing. Gems that should have stayed buried. I’m not going to lie, some look semi-interesting. That’s the point, isn’t it? The “best” parts are in the trailer, and what you’re left with upon viewing, is crap. Please read the synopsis at the bottom of each screen of the trailer. They’re almost as good as the trailers themselves.
As I get older, the actors I grew up watching and respecting get younger.
What do I mean by that? Let me explain, at great length. This is a long one folks.
As previously stated, I’ve been watching movies since I was a kid. I didn’t have parents that were into movies however, so I was limited to the Ernest films and The Goonies up until I could go to the video store by myself.
Who steals from the rich, and gives to the poor? Not Robin Hood. At least, not yet in this version of the story.
In case you weren’t already aware, the legend of Robin Hood is just that. A legend. There isn’t any real historical evidence that this guy existed. In this version of the story, Ridley Scott (director) and his band of merry men, IE: Brian Helgeland (screenplay) took some liberties with the “original” story.
Robin Hood wasn’t bad. It was just sort of boring. It’s 2H20M l0ng, but not interesting enough to justify it.
“Hi Queen Latifah. I love you”. My Bestie Janice and husband Chris have had to hear this from me more times than I can count. I say it every time a Cover Girl commercial comes on, or whenever the Queen pops up on T.V.
I’m a huge Queen Latifah fan. Huge. I will watch any and everything she’s in. I have a huge crush on her and am not ashamed to say it. She’s beautiful and funny and a breath of fresh air when it comes to these movies. She’s the kind of leading lady that doesn’t really get messed with. She’s beautiful, but in a fight, you might lose.
Most romantic comedies follow a basic formula. They meet, something happens to put a dent in their getting together. When they do get together, something happens to tear them apart, and at the end the guy usually makes the big move to get them back together. In most of these movies the leading lady is someone most of us can’t really relate to. She’s usually really skinny and beautiful, or needs only to comb her hair and apparently take off her glasses to be gorgeous, yet somehow can’t meet “the right guy”.
The first big movie of the Summer is here! Packed with awesome special effects, action sequences, new villains, and the most blatant and simultaneously boring attempt at sex appeal I’ve seen since Cat Woman.
But first, the story: Now that Tony Stark (Downey Jr.) has “come out of the suit” as Iron Man, the government wants the suit and technology running it. Under the guise that it’s a dangerous weapon that can’t be left in the hands of one man, they hold a hearing to have him hand it over. The private military contracting company run by Justin Hammer (Rockwell), also want it. They want it so they can mass produce and sell it for profit. Tony refuses, and so begins the battle of wills.
