I went to the movie theaters this week to see Transformers: Dark of the Moon and sat through six previews. Most of the movies are on my list to see but one popped out as a must-see movie. Mission Impossible 4 – Ghost Protocol.
Now I know you are probably thinking I am a huge Tom Cruise fan. I have enjoyed a movie or two of his but when I saw Simon Pegg is in this movie I almost screamed. I love him. He may be one of the funniest actors out there and I am really looking forward to seeing him in this film. Enjoy the trailer (I only saw about a third of it so I can be fully surprised later). Also, Jeremy Renner is in it. Yeah!
I think we have run into this situation at one time or another in our working careers; horrible bosses. Personally, I feel we can learn something from every boss we have; good or bad.
We take something away from all of them. I my self have experienced this and that is why I am looking forward to seeing the new flick, Horrible Bosses.
I think it looks hilarious and is fresh humor. Many people who saw Hangover 2 said it was the same movie as the first one. I have not seen it yet, so I can not say for sure if that is the case….however, I am always happy with fresh, new comedy.
The previews for Horrible Bosses made me laugh out loud so I am looking forward to it. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you agree.
So last night I rented Country Strong, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw. Aside from McGraw having what appeared to be a full head of hair, I was pretty impressed with the film.
Typical story of a county struggle, but told a bit differently. Paltrow is a superstar already and in rehab. Getting out of rehab early, she embarks on an encore tour to renew her career after a horrible mishap 9 months prior.
If you have not seen this movie already, I won’t give away big details, but I will tell you this; break out the kleenex. Maybe I am just emotional right now or maybe Country Strong just really tugs at the heart strings.
Although the storyline seems to move fast and not give much history on the characters, you become completely involved in their mess. I thought McGraw did a fine job and Patrow’s voice was exceptional. However, I have been waiting for Paltrow to take up a singing career since I heard her version of Betty Davis Eyes about 10 years ago.
I don’t like her singing country though….although she did great; as a matter of fact I will be downloading a few songs today from the film.
Have you seen it? Thoughts?
I am slightly frightened by all the remakes of the movies I remember as a kid. I mean, are we out of fresh ideas or is that we can make the old ones so much better with the new technology? Either way, I remember the original Planet of the Apes….if only a few scenes.
I know I saw a monkey talking and it freaked me out. I thought it was the strangest thing I had ever seen. 
My friends tell me it was a great flick and that I am missing out on some true talent. So, maybe I will check it out before I see the new one coming in August 2011; Rise Of The Planet of the Apes.
Now this flick stars James Franco….mister cutie pants himself. So, I might have to see the original and then check this out. Visusal effects are brought to you from the same people who did Avatar and Lord of the Rings, so I have no doubt this is going to be a spectacular visual show.
Check out the trailer and let me know what you think.
Do you follow actors on twitter? If so, do their tweets help motivate you to see their movies? Or not?
I am on Twitter and found that sometimes I have no idea what the actors are talking about half the time. For me I enjoy finding out the occasional movie release date helpful – like I just read Thor 2 will be released in the summer of 2013. That little nugget will get buried but now I know when to expect it. (yes, I follow Chris Hemsworth!)
Same question but this one is about Facebook – do “like” a lot of actors or follow their fanpage update?
Discuss!
I was thinking the other day about all the movies I loved watching from years ago. It made me think of the category here called Sundays Past. The movie that kept entering my mind was Death Becomes Her. What a hoot!!
Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are flawless in this movie. And seeing as they wish to erase their physical flaws in the movie, it’s quite a fitting interpretation of the pair.
I loved this movie on so many levels. The comedy was brilliant, the acting superb….of course with those two. Also, the effects were astonishing for that time period. I mean, one of these ladies is walking around with a giant hole in the middle of their body! And I do mean GIANT.
I have probably watched this movie 30 times and I laugh every time. For me, late 80′s movies just instantly transport me back to my youth and make me smile. I have another one in mind as well…but I will save that for next time cuz it’s a fantastic 80′s teen flick and one I would love to see remade. Since we are in the age of remakes and all.
Have you seen Death Becomes Her and what did you think of it??
Since beginning my film reviewing career, many have asked me what my favorite movies are. It usually is in the form of a question like: “What are your top 5 favorite movies?” I can’t quite put that list together. There are too many to list.
I do have several that I will watch over and over because they allow that ultimate escape from reality. Do I think they are masterpieces? Sure, some of them are but some are pure camp. I can’t put movie in categories as favorites or the best. I just doesn’t work like that for me. But how about you?
So, instead of telling me what your top 5 movies are – tell me which ones you watch over and over.
Well, if you own a TV, you know Captain America is coming soon to theaters. Now, I really despise comic books. Just a personal opinion here, but we all have those right?! Opinions that is.
My thoughts on this Captain America coming to the big screen are mixed. I did not read the comic book and I already feel like grown men act ridculous emulating these super heroes. So, how will the big picture infiltrate these men’s minds?
I envision a million and one Halloween coswtumes parading the parties with bulging biceps and a protruding blue chest. Sometimes I think these movies will entertain the teen population, but for real….grown men get all into these superhero flicks. Spidey, Superman, all of them. With the Green Lantern making noise it’s safe to assume Captain America will do the same.
Me personally, I have no desire to see this flick either in theaters or rental. Actually, I probably wouldn’t watch it for free!! Sorry Captain!
What are your thoughts??
Okay, so you remember from one of my last posts, I was going to have a weekend soire with one of my friends who began to tire of movies. Still can’t get over that one! We were going to have a Sundance festival in my house with my Sundance on demand channel and I was going to reinvigorate their love for movies. Debacle!
Why a debacle?! I have real issues with Time Warner Cable. Seriously, if I pay for on demand, why won’t it work on demand?! It works when they want it to work. We tried to call up several movies yesterday to watch and every single time, we got the folowing message: blah blah blah not available, try again later.
How many times did we try? At least 50!! I just want to watch a movie for crying out loud. Ridiculous. I pay, therfore I want. Is that such a bad thing???? I think not.
So, I guess we will be rescheduling this Sundance film festival in my house for another day. Until then, my friend is still boycotting movies. Damn, TWC!
I have to admit, Crazy Stupid Love, might just change my life. I am a huge fan of Julienne Moore anyways; although The Kids Are Alright was a disappointment. 
We just adore lost love movies and rekindled romances, don’t we?! Well, this one not only looks funny but heart-warming as well. The perfect mix with Steve Corelle and Julienne Moore. And the soundtrack sounds phenomenal! I am a music junkie though, I must say.
I would love to hear your thoughts on whether you think this flick is a see in the theater or wait for rental? I, myself, will be in the theaters July 29th, 2011 for the release date of Crazy Stupid Love.
Check out the trailer below and leave your thoughts in the comments.
