Great voice cast in this sweet film about “Monsters” that defeat the aliens and save the world. The 3D thing is a bit overdone and really irrelevant when watching it on a television. But none of the effects were bothersome.

When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years.
Adorable fairy tale of a girl born with a pig nose because of a century old curse on her family and the man that loves her enough to give her up.
James McAvoy was again the nice yet flawed adorable guy. This may put us at having seen all of his films now. Catherine O’Hara was over the top as the mother. Sort of a blue blood version of her Beetlejuice character. Resse Witherspoon seemed wasted in the film.
A nice simple film with a good message. Worth a rainy Saturday afternoon watch, especially if you have daughters to watch it with.

A modern romantic tale about a young aristocratic heiress born under a curse that can only be broken when she finds true love with “one who will love her faithfully.”
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 “you can do anything you set your mind too” and “don’t judge people by how they look” message thing going, but mostly it is just a fun film of a girl becoming more than she ever thought and doing it with a whole bunch of people that see different things in her.
I have to admit that I love the Jennifer Coolidge character in this film. So awkward and so good hearted. It is no wonder that Elle trust her almost instantaneouly. And Reese Witherspoon is really likeable as Elle, especially when she gets to Harvard.
No, this film will never make a top 1000 for best film ever made list. But it will almost always be on my “What a Fun Film” list. Should it have been made into a Broadway Musical? Well, that is a whole different debate.

When a blonde sorority queen is dumped by her boyfriend, she decides to follow him to law school to get him back and, once there, learns she has more legal savvy than she ever imagined.
The most distrubing thing about this film is that it just didn’t feel like fiction.
Good film. Suspenseful. You just sat there waiting for someone to do something right.

A CIA analyst questions his assignment after witnessing an unorthodox interrogation at a secret detention facility outside the US.
Plenty of certifiable crazy here. Boy meets girl, becomes obsessed, rapes girls best friend, kills a friend and tries to kill her family…. and he can’t understand why she doesn’t want to see him. Great back flip to the pavement for the Mark Walhberg character who really needed more ab time.
