Movie Review: Marley and Me

I LOVE this movie!! Some parts were a little dirty but overall it was a great movie! I was a little nervous to watch it cause I heard it was so sad, but I'd definitely reccommend it! Okay, so we all know the dog dies in the end, evn before we watch it. When Marley dies, it literally felt like it was my own dog was dying! It may be because I have a dog, or maybe because they made you really love the dog. It's definitely a tear jerker. I'll admit it, I cried. Okay, so maybe I balled. Great movie! Go see it! 4 stars!

Sorry I've done so many movie reviews lately! It's just that nothing exciting ever happens in my life! I should start a blog specifically for movie reviews...not that anyone would read it. No one reads my blog NOW. haha!

Movie Review: Beauty and the Beast (Platinum Edition)

Jessica and I went to Whitney's house for a Disney movie night. We watched Beauty and the Beast! You all know of my infinite love for that movie, and if you didn't, now you do! Well anyway this was the platinum edition, which had this song called, "I can't wait to be human again" or something like that. My personal opinion is that you really can't add new scenes to a classic and still end up with the same movie. I guess the new musical sequence was cute, but it just changed it. I just like the old one SO much and I liked it better without the new scenes. You might LOVE the new song, but the old one was my very favorite Disney movie of all time, so understand my reasoning. 5 stars for the old movie, not so many for the new one.

Movie Review: Push

I went and saw "Push" tonight with Jess and Steph. Before I give you my little review schpeel I'll put in the synopsis thing:
Two young Americans with special abilities must race to find a girl in Hong Kong before a shadowy government organization called Division does. That's about as brief a synopsis as you can get.
p.s. The picture in this blog post about Push doesn't make a ton of sense to me. I think they coulda made a better one...
Anyway, I liked this movie okay. I guess it definitely could have been better. The ending made it seem like there should be a sequel because it left you hanging a little. If they don't make a sequel it's a dumb movie, because you walk out of the theater not knowing anything more than when you walked in. Actually, though, I didn't like Dakota Fanning in this. She has a potty mouth and let's be honest, for lack of a better word, she looks like a skank. For me anyway, when she swears it just almost makes my ears hurt. Because swearing is bad in general, it's even worse when she does it, she's a young girl. It makes her look so unintelligent. I liked the actor that plays Nick, Chris Evans, but I didn't like the character of Kira. (Camilla Belle, didn't she date Joe Jonas or something?)
So in this movie there are people called pushers, watchers, screamers, sniffers, movers, etc. (I don't know if I got the terms 'screamers' and 'sniffers' right, but you get the idea. You'll HATE the screamer people, I promise you. But not even in the way that you usually hate bad guys, they are just so annoying and stupid. I think they could have done a better job of creating those characters, personally. However, I love the logic they used while trying to hide the case towards the end. It's very creative! Some parts got a little bit slow, but the action at the end I suppose made up for it. I had my eyes closed for a lot of the end, you all know I don't do well with scariness in movies...or in real life for that matter.. haha!
Anyway, I'd give it 3 stars if they make a sequel. If they don't, I'd give it 2. :)

First Love

I don't think you ever fully get over your first love...

*Sigh*, We were best friends and fifteen. Too old for play dates, too young for real dates. We were caught in that middle stage and the only term you could really use to describe us would be the closest of friends. Plain 'friend' didn't quite fit and 'boyfriend' fit even less. It was the best of times and we were the best of friends. We laughed, we talked, we played, we fought. Oh, the tender age of fifteen. Those young, fragile hearts break so easily. We eventually moved on. High school came and we went out separate ways, slowly drifting apart. And while the heartache fades, he holds some of the fondest memories of my youth. He owns the very first peice of my heart. He always will. What I wouldn't give to be fifteen and carefree again. Back then I wanted to grow up, now I would give almost anything to go back and relive just one day. I miss being his best friend, I miss all the memories we made, I miss all our talks, I miss him. Time sure does fly. When we were fifteen I just assumed we would finish growing up together, always being close friends. I always thought we'd go to dances together, hang out on the weekends, watch movies. It didn't happen. I think I cried when he got his first real girlfriend, I missed him so much. Not even in a romantic way, I just missed being his best friend. Here we are about to graduate and we never do any of the things I thought we would. No dances, no weekends, no closeness. It's not that I never see him, because I do. We even have a class together, it's just not the same as it was when we were fifteen. I don't know why all these memories have come flooding back to me all of a sudden, but I do know that it put a smile on my face. It could have been because of that hug he gave me the other day, the one that reminded me of when we were best friends. To this day I don't even know if he felt the same way about me back then as I did about him. All I know is that he was my best friend and my first love.

Anti-hex medication

So as I sit here in Pharmacy today, Beth told us this story about a guy who came into her Pharmacy the other day. He said a pregnant woman put a hex on his eye and that he needed medication for it. She said they didn't actually carry anti-hex medication and that he'd have to go to the eye doctor for that!! haha! Anyway, that's about all that's new and exciting in my life.

Movie Review: Pink Panther 2

I went and saw the Pink Panter 2 last night with Chrisanne. There were some funny parts, but overall I thought it was kinda dumb. No wonder it took almost no time at all to make it to the dollar theater. The one-liners were funny but the overall story was almost uninteresting. I also didn't like how unrealistic it is, but I guess that could be why some people think it's funny. If movies aren't fantasy, I like them to be realistic. Yeah right, like the Pope would really let some guy try on his robes and then fall off the balcony... right... Anyway, if you liked it, let me know. I'd give it two stars.
