A prequel to Puss's adventures with Shrek and Donkey. I wonder how long it will be before we have Donkey's movie?
Plot: A story about the events leading up to the sword fighting cat's meeting with Shrek and his friends.
Hugh Jackman in fine form. Need I say more??
Plot: Set in the near future, where robot boxing is a top sport, a struggling
promoter feels he's found a champion in a discarded robot. During his
hopeful rise to the top, he discovers he has an 11-year-old son who
wants to know his father.
I was a bit young the first time this came out and even though I am an 80's child, I haven't watched the film until recently.
Thankfully it sticks closer to the original than a lot of remakes that they are doing at the moment. We get a bit more background on why 'Ren' comes to be living with his relatives, it's not so clear in the original movie.
Plot: City kid Ren MacCormack moves to a small town where rock 'n' roll and
dancing have been banned, and his rebellious spirit shakes up the
populace.
I had a couple of hours to kill while my car was being serviced so decided to see this.
Saoirse Ronan was scary in this. A big departure from her role in The Lovely Bones (which I still liked even though the book was so much better)
Plot: A 16-year-old who was raised by her father to be the
perfect assassin is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a
ruthless intelligence agent.
This is why I don't want to be a bridesmaid.. All the hassle!!
Funny movie though. Nearly wet myself over the bridal shop bit.
Plot: Competition between the maid of honor and a bridesmaid, over who is the
bride's best friend, threatens to upend the life of an out-of-work
pastry chef.
Took the 2 older nieces, Casey & Kyla to see this today. It was their first time seeing a movie in 3D and they kept taking the glasses off and complaining when their eyes hurt.
Love the animation movies nowadays as they aren't just targeted to children anymore, there are some adult jokes in them also.
They look ready to crash after all the sugar we've just eaten, but
now they're settled in on the sofa lounge watching Scooby Doo cartoons.
Plot: Po and his friends fight to stop an peacock villain
from conquering China with a deadly new weapon, but the Dragon Warrior
must come to terms with his past.
OMG!!! So excited!!! I can't believe it's finally here!!!!
It feels like I have been waiting for this to come out for years. Wait a sec. I have been waiting for years!! LOL!!
I was so pumped up for the midnight screening last night but wasn't sure how I was going to get through work on 2 hours sleep! Let's just say that by lunch time, I was trying to find a little corner to hide.
Overall I was impressed with the movie. The only thing really that let me down was the fight scene between Harry and Voldemort and the aftermath. It was nothing like it was in the book, which I think ended it much tidier than just breaking the wand in half.
Plot: Harry, Ron and Hermione search for Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes in their effort to destroy the Dark Lord.
I have to say that I am not a fan of Vin Diesel, but these movies suit him. Am a fan of The Hot Paul Walker and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Now either of them can pop my hood any time *grin*
I took the time to watch all the previous movies (although I'm still a little confused on Tokyo Drift) just so that I would know the back story.
I wasn't happy when the projector fritzed during the fight scene between The Rock & Vin Diesel so all sound was lost.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the movies and cant wait for the 6th in the series - coming out in 2013 I think.
Plot: Dominic and his crew find themselves on the wrong side of the law once
again as they try to switch lanes between a ruthless drug lord and a
relentless federal agent.
Marvel comics is really churning out the movies at the moment. We've had both Iron Man movies (which I've not seen), the X-Men movies and now Thor.
Chris Hemsworth plays arrogant well. It's good to see him being successful after Home & Away.
Plot: The powerful but arrogant warrior Thor is cast out of the fantastic
realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth, where he soon
becomes one of their finest defenders.
Gotta love an extra long weekend to go see the movies you've been dying to see.
Rhian and I caught up today to see this. It's been years since I've seen these so I have been watching them all over the weekend.
Plot: Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott, who has put herself back
together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface
Killer.
Another movie for Dan and I.
I am only just getting into Adam Sandler. I'm not a huge fan of some of his earlier stuff when he seems to be screaming all the time. Jennifer Aniston is getting better with age. The kids are annoying, but overall a good movie.
Plot: On a weekend trip to Hawaii, a plastic surgeon convinces his loyal
assistant to pose as his soon-to-be-divorced wife in order to cover up a
careless lie he told to his much-younger girlfriend.
I had a couple of passes I needed to use up before the end of this monther so I dragged my friend, the fabulous Miss Danielle out to Carousel.
We had dinner at Fast Eddy's which really should be called Slow Eddy's. We never received our bottle of water nor were we given any serviettes.
The movie itself was funny but got a bit annoying when something happened to the sound right at the important bit in the middle which took them 15 minutes to fix up.
Plot: When Blu, a domesticated macaw from small-town Minnesota, meets the fiercely independent Jewel, he takes off on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro with this bird of his dreams.
Caught up with Rhian to see this as there was nothing much on that we wanted to see.
I've not seen a lot of Ashton's movies, but didn't mind him in this. Natalie Portman is gorgeous - I hate her :)
Plot: A guy and girl try to keep their relationship strictly physical, but it's not long before they learn that they want something more.
I had planned to go to the casino with Dan & Marie, but because of the high humidity and threat of storms due to the cyclone off the coast, we opted for the air-conditioned comfort of the movies.
This is a pretty good movie. Normally with 'love triangle' plots, one of the three is normally a complete loser, but they were all 'normal' characters.
There are quite a few funny one liners which got a giggle out of all of us in the audience.
A definite chick flick!!
Plot: Lisa (Witherspoon) is a woman whose athletic ability is the defining passion of her life, having been her focus since early childhood. When she is cut from her team, everything she has ever known is suddenly taken from her. Not knowing what to do, she stumbles toward regular life. In this mode, she begins a fling with Matty (Wilson), a major league baseball pitcher, a self-centered ladies man – a narcissist with a code of honor.
George (Rudd) is a straight-arrow businessman whose complicated relationship with his father, Charles (Nicholson), takes a turn when George is accused of a financial crime, even though he’s done nothing wrong. Though he may be headed to jail, George’s honesty, integrity, and unceasing optimism may be his only path to keeping his sanity.
Before Lisa’s relationship with Matty takes root, she meets George for a first date on the worst evening of each of their lives: she has just been cut, and he has just been served. When everything else seems to be falling apart, they will discover what it means to have something wonderful happen.
Another hot long weekend, another movie.
I've been doing nothing all day except lie on my bed with my fan going reading a book, but by late this afternoon I was going stir crazy so decided on seeing this.
I am never disappointed with the Narnia movies (having never read the books I think)
Plot: Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their cousin Eustace, their royal friend King Caspian, and a warrior mouse named Reepicheep, find themselves swallowed into a painting and on to the Dawn Treader. Their mission – on which rests the fate of Narnia itself – takes the courageous voyagers to mysterious islands and a river that turns to gold, to fateful confrontations with magical creatures and sinister enemies, and to a reunion with their friend and protector, the “Great Lion” Aslan.
What better way to spend a rather hot afternoon than in an air-conditioned cinema?
I haven't seen the first movie but did see the second which was funny (who can forget the cat flushing the dog down the toilet, or little Jack's first word).
Jessica Alba makes a bit of a cameo in this one... I especially love the pool scene *grin*
Definitely must see it for some light entertainment over the festive season!!
Plot: It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get "in" with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack's suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam's entire clan-including Pam's lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)-descends for the twins' birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he's fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack's final test and become the family's next patriarch...or will the circle of trust be broken for good?
This was awesome in 3D... all the dance scenes were cool!! I wish I could dance like that...
Plot: A tight-knit group of New York City street dancers, including Luke and Natalie, team up with NYU freshman Moose, and find themselves pitted against the world's best hip hop dancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever.
