Judgment Night

I really liked this one! It's nothing but action packed viewing. I needed that today.

It's about 4 guy friends that go out for a boys night that turns into a nightmare. Not a "scary" movie but a scary movie. They get themselves in quite a mess and the mess just keeps coming.

I love to watch movies and workout either on my tread climber or lifting weights. I was on the tread climber watching this and I did some extra time because the movie kept my heart rate a pumping.

Fun movie!

THE SANDLOT

This is an older movie but it's a classic! The acting is amazing and the plot wonderful.

I just watched again after many years of not seeing it. It's like good chili it just keeps getting better!

THE UNBORN

If you like scary movies you may like this one. I like to watch them because I've been in one and really had fun seeing how all the special effects were created so I'm a bit biased.

The Unborn was fun. The acting was good no academy awards but no yawning either.

Sometimes I just turn off the horror shows that have no plot and are just for blood shock and blood shock alone. This one kept me from hitting the off button.

It had some cool special effects which I always like. The ending had a predictable but fun conclusion.

I just finished this movie. Political movies can rile up all kinds of arguments. I tread lightly with them.

I can't attest to the accuracy of this movie. I can tell you that I found it very entertaining.

I think it's worth the time spent watching it. The acting was very good and the plot easy to follow.

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY

Okay I'm a sucker for the Terminator series. The special effects are amazing in this one. It's my favorite of the series.

The Terminator is an action packed story about good versis evil. Ok I know that's an old tale that gets done over and over but really...are there any new tales? It's how you tell the tale that counts and this movie does it in a fun action packed way.

The beginning of the movie is hilarious. If you like Arnold Schwarzeneagger you'll love this movie. I think Linda Hamilton was her prettiest in the Terminator series. She looked amazing!

I highly suggest this one if you're looking for some action and fun.

SHUTTER ISLAND

Wow! This was something that you need to enjoy artsy fartsy stuff to appreciate.

It'a a pretty simple plot that is woven and twisted to become complex. Some great special effects are used.

The acting was good for the most part. Lenorado DiCaprio does an excellent job of course. I find him to be an exceptional actor.

The subject matter could be upsetting for some. My husband chose not to watch it after asking me for a brief idea of what it was going to expose him to.

I think it's worth your time to check this one out. You can always push the stop button and go on to another movie if need be.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS

Hugh Grant is always charming but he couldn't charm his way through this movie!

Sarah Jessica Parker is not one of my favorite actresses. She was too sweet through out the movie. I wanted to tell her to stop trying so hard.

Despite what I just said it wasn't a bad movie. It wasn't a good movie but if you like sappy light entertainment you may enjoy the movie.

BAD LIEUTENANT

I think the title says it all!

I love Nicolas Cage. I was excited to see what he would do with this movie. In my opinion he either let the director ruin his performance or he just wanted to mess around with his role.

I think he was over the top and missed the mark.

Eva Mendes was his co star and I'm a fan of her too. She tried to believe her role but fell short. The director Werner Herzog had to have lead her to her flat performance.

I could not recommend this movie!

CRAZY HEART

I thought this was a western when I first heard the title LOL...

For me it had a slow start. I won't go into details because I don't want to spoil it for you but it's about a singer who needs to find himself.

I like Jeff Bridges. He did a great job as usual. The acting was good. It's not a movie I personally would not buy it but I think it's worth watching.

THE OPEN ROAD

The open road was a great movie. My husband even like it LOL...

It's a family story basically about learning what to cherish. The father and mother help their son open his eyes about a relationship he broke up due to "work".

The acting was wonderful and the pace not too fast and not too slow. It gets a thumbs up in my book!

LONG TIME!

I haven't posted for a long time! I've been getting back into the world.

I plan on getting at least one movie reviewed a week maybe more. Just wanted you to know I'm still here!

The reason I started this post is because I had spine surgery 9 months ago. Watching movies kept me sane!

I'm getting better so my work has taken me away from my movie addiction.

I need to remember to relax and movies do that for me so I plan on watching more and telling you about them :)
