Like Crazy

Like Crazy

A love a story is design to make a girl weak in the knees and dream of her Prince Charming. Like Crazy made me wonder why in the world did get married? Were they ever really in love or did it have more to do with them not being able to let go? Not to mention it is the girl that asked the guy to marry her – which is a recipe for disaster. If a man wants to marry you – he will ask you. He will pursue you and fight for your heart. However if you have to ask him then he is making a decision out of the fear of losing you rather than because he wants to marry you.  Normally I do not wish for people to get a divorce but I was really hoping they both would move on with their lives during the movie. This drama often dragged and made me yawn often. Call me jaded but this is not a romantic drama or worth the rental. If you want to watch a great love story then rent “The Vows” when it comes out this summer. Now that is love

Answer This

Answer This

GO BUCKS! I have to say that first since “Answer This” is set on the University of Michigan campus. I noticed in the football clips – there was no footage showing OSU beating Michigan like usual. 

Anyway enough about our Big 10 rivalry – this movie total reminded me of when I lived in Cincinnati and would go to the pub each week to play trivia with a group of friends. We even had a love connection birth from our weekly hang out. We never did win but we had a blast playing.  I think my experience with trivia made this movie seem more interesting than it really was. The pseudo love story was okay – not really a chick flick but more of a movie about someone trying to figure out who he is.  The story was really predictable so don’t expect any earth shattering epiphanies. However you may find that you enjoy this romantic comedy even with all of its flaws.  If you can get it on instant replay on Netflix still – then it is worth the rental. However if you have to drive to Redbox then pick another movie to watch (LOL)

Fair Game

Fair Game

Arrogance is the fall of many men. It is the cousin to pride which is never flexible. Fair Game is more about a man’s pride then the corruption of our government. It is more about a man that wanted to stand up for his point of view of the truth rather than walking away from a fight. The conspiracy theory that our government will sacrifice lives in order to save their image is not a new concept. At the end of the movie I was PISSED off. I kept saying to myself – REALLY –that is how it is going to end? What is the purpose of this movie? Did I miss it along the way? This movie is just about pride and arrogance and a pure waste of your time. Most of the time I love watching Sean Penn act but this movie is not worth it. DON’T RENT IT!

Seven Days in Utopia

Seven Days in Utopia

I am not a golfer but I seem to love watching golfing movies. The Legend of Bagger Vance is one of my favorite ones so when I saw the trailer for “Seven Days in Utopia” I was quickly intrigued by the storyline.  I often joke that I could never live in a small town because I’m a city girl. However secretly I always enjoy watching movies where the towns people come together and welcome a newcomer to town. I like people who share their wisdom and have learned the art of slowing down.  In a small town it is like they know the secrets of living a full life and do not get caught up in the rat race.   

In Seven Days of Utopia you will watch a man rediscover who he is and why he loves the game of golf.  This lighthearted movie is a life affirming movie to watch when you just want to unwind and laugh. Put this movie in your Netflix queue or go rent it from Redbox. You will enjoy it -I PROMISE 

Safe House

Safe House

Let me guess – you missed Safe House when it was in theater and heard the mix reviews so you may have no idea if it is worth the future rental.  YES AND YES! It is an interesting story with a few twists and turns in the movie. And what woman does not love looking at Denzel?  Denzel Washington is the only actor I know that can sit in a chair by a window, cross his legs, peer out the window in deep thought and look like the sexist man on earth. You look at him and say YUMMY. There are no real chick flick elements in the movie but as an action movie you are going to enjoy the story. I would suggest making a pot of chili, some cornbread and having date night on the couch. Your hubby will love the action and you will get to sit down and relax with your husband.  It is bound to be a fun night. How can you go wrong with a great Hollywood eye candy and stud muffin in the same room. What girl wouldn’t love that? RENT THE MOVIE this summer.

Transformers - Dark of the Moon

Transformers – Dark of the Moon

Some movies need to be seen in the theater so you can have the surround sound and feel like the base go through your chest. I unfortunately do not have surround sound at home so the movie seemed a little lame.  I was crossing my fingers that it would get better but I was rather disappointed.  At one point I thought to myself – is this movie ever going to end? I also want to know why does the heroine of the story always have to wear white? We know she is going to run and the end of the world is just around the corner so why not put on regular jeans and a sweatshirt like normal girls who are on the run from Transformers?  If you are thinking of about renting this movie I would go into your hubbies man cave and watch it. When the movies starts to drag in places try your hardest not to start talking about your day to your hubby – your man will love the action scenes so cuddle up next to him and just enjoy spending time with him.
