late night theater run

Colorful animation, songs were a nice touch but didn't quite hit the mark. Boring, unsurprising. Not as moving as it should have been.

five times in theaters

Art direction is beautiful. Score, fantastic and subtle, not super fancy. Acting superb. The film's emotional core underdeveloped, but overall fantastic. Very long, but flies by, enough to dwell on important moments, but heart racing for action scenes. Not sappy, good for all ages (above 13) and both genders.

early sunday morning theater run

Abrupt ending. Predictable, but satisfying. A cute love story and enough dissension to be believable. Minor characters were completely pointless, however. Channing Tatum is attractive.

twice in theaters

Smolders, funny, Tom Hardy, v-necks, suits, dick jokes. A little raunchy at times, not super complicated or big depth of characters. A little long.

birthday theater run

Fabulous. Dark, rich art direction. Memorable score. Long, but necessarily so. Acting of course superb and cinematography very artsy and demonstrating the thoughts of the lead character, into Holme's mind.

twice in theaters

Life's a Happy Song, Jason Segel, whistling walter, all the celebrity cameos, silly wittiness, MAN OR MUPPET. A little choppy, a little long. Some moments given too much screen time, some not enough.

Greatest out of the Twilight Saga. Love story implemented well and the faults of the movie are only because of the faults of the book. Stupid, twisted, meaningless story, but developed into a movie, I felt did fair well off. Good set-up for the last in the saga. Pretty shots in honeymoon, and good transition of Bella into emaciation and then into a vampire.

Compelling story, lots of surprises. Animation: strange, round, fabulous. A good one for re-watching over and over. More laughs than other Pixar flicks.

Super long. Super super long. Cocky script-writing, like they were showing off their hip humor. Very flashy computer graphics, like a portfolio of nature artists. Must've been great in 3D. Overused story, battles scenes are half the movie. Overall, enjoyable and the world they created to be like earth yet unlike earth is interesting. The forest at night is breathtaking and the idea and development of the character Eywa are amazing.

My favorite. I love every part of this movie. The idea is so unique and it is hilarious. Very touching ending, animation is not top notch anymore, but character work is a-m-a-z-ing.

I like JLo's acting. Feel good movie, albeit cheesy and predictable. Light humor.

A little long and drawn-out at times. Classic story, beautiful moral. Music is some of the greatest in classic Disney history. The character of Belle is relatable.

Awesome. Dark humor, great action, unique story. Score is extremely high-energy and powerful, memorable, could sing it in my sleep (in fact, I probably do). All actors are A-list, top notch. The curse is eerie, but desirable. Love story is believable, but not focus of plot which is a positive. Somehow beautiful pieces humor, action, horror, and romance together seamlessly.

Lots of sunsets and silhouettes. Love story, good Western movie, yet set in Australia. Good drama.

tv movie

Ships in space beautifully crafted by CGI. Celestial forms are also dazzling. Acting superb and funny moments good, an adult-oriented movie, target audience probably the old watchers of the tv-series. However, speaking as one who hasn't watched the tv-series not once, I enjoyed it and it made sense. And I even watched the short-cutted television version :)

fathers day theater run

Great, powerful ending to a magnificent fantasy franchise. Maybe a little choppy in the beginning to compensate for the splitting of the book and there are not many surprises. It is the end and I expected it to be that way. As usual, beautiful integration of CGI, extras, elaborate sets, and actors in the roles they have been playing for years. Everyone is comfortable in their character by now.

tv movie

Cute, creative. Interesting to weird people like me. Different to movies within society's normal fluctuation of watched movies.

kara's birthday movie

Plot not as fascinating as it could be. The little quirks of the characters are interesting enough and Remy's passion for food makes me want to cook. Animation: awesome. Script: eh. A good family film, however not easily re-watched, predictable plot.

Upon first watch of this movie, I just felt it was unnecessarily weird and kooky. Lots of freaky animals and torture devices and I guess it's been too long since I've seen it that I didn't really understand the point of the story. Unique world created, however, and witty movie quirks and memorable characters that are dynamic enough to create a difference in mood of the story.

SOSE movie

Though I am an unwilling fan of mockumentary films, I couldn't decide how I felt about this movie. The CGI would have been almost unnoticeable if it wasn't for the strangeness of the aliens. They were so far removed from anything I've ever seen depicted for alien creatures so I was immediately drawn from the 'fictive dream' to think about how they created them graphically. The horror and disgusting nature of the movie is somehow attractive and riveting, but could be more so. Could do more with the idea.

Fascinating that he could finally look behind the reasons of his confusion. Matt Damon is flawless, perfectly suited for this brand of movie. The more movies I see him in, the more I realize this. High action, good balance of emotion versus technical human nature. I loved the cinematography in this one with the pieces coming back to him. The overall blue and shadowy tone to the film.

SO CUTE. I laughed so much. The idea is unique and creative. I especially dig the underdog plot. Animation flawless and the style of the Toothless character has an underlying sexiness that keeps my eyes glued to the screen, makes me want a dragon myself. A family movie, but a movie for anyone really.

kara's birthday movie

BIZARRE. Strange, confusing at times. Winding plot that doesn't make a lot of sense put together. Acting so-so and special effects are terrible. Some raunchy moments that felt unjustified. Still, unique, and the main guy is hot. Weird though.

Beautiful. Will never stop watching. I love the story in this and Mcadams and Gosling have real, honest chemistry. The drawn-out angst really adds to fireworks for the time they are finally able to come together again. Sweet love story that will never cease to make me cry.

Colorful and funny. Strange assortment of characters that is refreshing. The first twenty minutes will always make me cry. Heartbreaking. One of the better Pixar films as far as interest, but also the darkest.

Weird. Unnecessary remake. Everything feels too fake and bright, industrial. The whole thing gives me the creeps. Goes into Wonka's past which is interesting, but it feels like a whole load of nonsense.

Cheesy awesome humor. Pleasant, enjoyable. One of my favorite Tom Hanks. Lots of fun.

Fabulous. I especially love fashion movies. First Meryl Streep performance I ever saw and that got me started on my love of her. She is perfect and versatile. Not a fan of Hathaway, but she is well suited for this role. The ending was twisted but realistic. Satisfying. Very witty.

thrice in theaters

Yeah, I was one of those lined up at the premiere. Yes, I was. Moody film, everything seems under a blue lens. Pattinson does not demonstrate any sort of impressive acting ability in this movie. It's like they picked him off the street. Stewart is too awkward at times and their chemistry together is clumsy and stale, not passionate as it should be. Some of the lines in the movie seem especially emphasized even if said by minor characters without significance, maybe for hopes of drawing attention away from the central problems. The soundtrack is flawwwwwwwless and good for the weird mood of the movie. Scenes from the book were either blown up too much or not enough in development leaving a choppy, confusing film.

tv movie

Moore's performance disappointed me. It felt fake and it was actually what broke down the movie for me. The story is touching, overall, but it was executed poorly. There are some really intense sexual tension moments that I rather enjoyed that could be redeeming for the movie. But... cheesy and Moore was stiff.

Will never tire of this movie. So funny, unique. And the music is perfect! Especially quirky-funny for all ages.

Sometimes a little hard to watch nowadays because we are so spoiled with our CGI and the animation is very crude to say the least. The story is FANTASTIC, though. Randy Newman's voice is fitting. Hilarious and heartwarming.
