We came home from an exhausting day and overnight in New York City and just needed a fun little film that required no concentration. Legally Blonde fit this well. We have seen this film before, probably multiple times. And it is a film I enjoy every time I see it. The film has that whole [...]

Whatever It Takes (2000)
February 22nd, 2009 · No Comments
How can anyone resist a boy that plays “Melt With You” on the accordian? Well, I can’t. A stereotypical teen high school comedy about how the A-list isn’t all one would hope for. The girls are conceited, shallow and have really gross toes. The guys main goal is conquest. Of course, the geeks win in [...]

The Confession (1999)
February 22nd, 2009 · No Comments
A pretty good moral tale about how it is best to do the right thing and take responsibility for your actions. A man kills the people from the emergency room that refused to see his son and ultimately caused his death. And once he does this he confesses and is ready to take his punishment. [...]
Scorched (2003)
February 22nd, 2009 · No Comments
A silly film where every teller in the bank robs it. One gets the ATM to get back at the back manager she just got dumped by, one takes a quarter mil. to Vegas and one steals all the cash out of the safe deposit box of the man that killed his duck’s mother. Not [...]

Strike! (1998) aka All I Wanna Do
February 22nd, 2009 · No Comments
One in a long line of films that are set in a boarding/prep school in the 60′s. This one is a girls school where every female actress between the ages of 12 – 20 that could sort of pass for being in high school in 1998 was in. Nice message of standing up for yourself, [...]

State and Main (2000)
February 21st, 2009 · No Comments
A behind the scenes look at a movie company overtaking a town. Silly, fun, unflattering portrayal of Hollywood and Politics. Why was I watching a film that is over 8 years old? Well, because Alec Baldwin was in it. I am a fan of 30 Rock and find the Hulu commercial he is in to [...]
AVPR: Aliens vs Predator – Requiem (2007)
February 20th, 2009 · No Comments
I had no idea that these two monsters even existed in the same time period. Seems to me like if you blow up all the Aliens it makes it hard for the Alien series (which takes place in the future) to even exist. Am I thinking too hard? I have gotten used to the Alien [...]

Love and Other Disasters (2006)
February 18th, 2009 · No Comments
When a film starts with an explanation of why the lead actresses accent goes from British to American at varying rates, you have to believe that was thrown in because the actress couldn’t do a British accent that well. And the story behind it seems contrived at best. So, under the premise of a screen [...]
