Movie Reviews

Kyle and I are huge movie fans. Between him loving shoot em up thrillers and I loving chick flicks, we see a lot of movies. I will probably be adding to this list as I remember mentionable films.

Baby Mama is about a woman (Tina Fey) who wants to have babies but cannot. She hires a surrogate mother (Amy Poehler) to carry her child. Baby Mama is our favorite lately. We saw it on our Anniversary. It is so hilarious! Between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler how can you go wrong? The comedy is well balanced and original. I give it two thumbs up for sure.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had good points and bad points. Unfortunately I think the bad points outweighed the good. Good points: The movie stayed true to the Indiana Jones feel. The cinematography and adventure were very much similar to the previous Indiana Jones movies. Also, Harrison Ford, though aged, was still handsome and rugged. Bad points: the story line was... cheesy and predictable, too shallow in many aspects. Overall, it was entertaining, but not worth waiting in line for.

Narnia Prince Caspian was not as good as the first Narnia. The characters were interesting and had developed since the last movie. However, it lacked the magic that the first Narnia had. Through the whole movie I kept thinking that the book was probably so much better (even though I haven't read it). It was definitely entertaining and worth seeing, but I won't be buying the DVD.

Made of Honor: Oh McDreamy (sigh). Perfect movie if you are in the mood for the ever so predictable humorous love story with a happy ending. Made of Honor is the typical romantic comedy- but what's wrong with that?

DVD's I would recommend:
P.S. I Love You: heartfelt and poignant. I read the book and think that the movie might actually be better. A rare feat in movies.
Cloverfield: I had nightmares of scary creatures after I watched it, so not appropriate for the scaredy cats like myself. However, it was good. You felt like you were peeking in on the characters most tragic moments.
Juno: If crude humor doesn't bother you, Juno is hilarious. The characters are perfectly crafted and natural.
Stardust: Sci Fi gone right. Suspenseful and magical storyline filled with interesting and believable characters.
August Rush: Yeah I know, this one is a little old. But such an amazing movie and definitely worth seeing. Amazing actors mixed with amazing music and an awesome story. Even my husband loved it.
