My Thoughts:

I have seen this one before but it has been several years. What else can I say... but this is a Tim Burton film.You have vibrant colors.... and you have exaggerated shapes and costumes. Along with a little on the weird side take on stories. Don't take that wrong though... as I have several of Tim Burton films and have enjoyed them all so far. I was a bit surprised when I saw they left out where Charlie and his grandfather messed up (comparing it to the original film). But as with most of his films this is worth the time put in to watching... recommended.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this one... even more then I was expecting to. This is an inspirational teacher saving music department story first and foremost.... with a romantic comedy sub-plot. I loved the cast in this one. A few of my favorites. And you can just tell they had a good time making this film. I know that Kevin James is not for everyone... but if there is one of his films to see... I would say this is the one. Give it a go. I don't think you will be sorry.

I haven't seen this one since I was a kid... and I must say I remember it being better then this, Not that this was a bad film... I enjoyed it very much, It is just slower then I was thinking and there was scenes I was remembering that wasn't here. I think I was combining this one and it's sequel in my head. But this one is well worth the time put in to watch. Recommended.

I didnt know what to think or expect going in to this one. I really enjoyed the old disney classic, and the thrailer for this one looked amazing aswell. And the adaption over to the "live" one was amazing. I watched the 3D version, and the visiual aspect was amazing, the 3D moments was amazing aswell. We all know the story and the outcome, so nothing new there. But what they have done with this, superb! Highly recommanded to check out.

First let me say I have never been a fan of Hugh Grant... there is something about him that has just always bugged me.But I have liked Sarah Jessica Parker for years... first seeing her in the the early '80s TV series Square Pegs.

This film... while entertaining wasn't the best romantic comedy I ever seen. There was things about both characters I didn't like. Though mostly with him. But over all an entertaining film I can see myself watching again.

Plot:
An incredible all-star cast shines in this deliriously funny comedy that "balances heart and humor" (Houston Chronicle) with a "sharp comic edge" (Rolling Stone)! Featuring Sarah Jessica Parker in a Golden Globe® -nominated* role, The Family Stone is "engaging, enticing [and] first-rate" (Los Angeles Times)!

Corporate executive Meredith Morton (Sarah Jessica Parker) is as uptight and ultra-conservative as her pin-striped designer suit. Her boyfriend Everett Stone's (Dermot Mulroney) family is as relaxed and quirky as their aging New England Colonial. So when Meredith ventures out of Manhattan to meet Everett's clan, it's no wonder her arrival is met with all the enthusiasm of a nasty Nor'easter. But one surprise guest, two shocking romances and several beers later, Meredith's icy exterior begins to thaw...and she may just melt the hearts of the Family Stone!

My Thoughts:

While I have had this film in my collection for years... this is the first time I ever got around to watching it. I found it to be an entertaining film that was well worth the time put in to watch it... but I found it to be very predictable. Too predictable really. But the journey to get to the ending I already seen coming a mile away is enjoyable.There is many big names in this one, which also added to the enjoyment.

This is one remake that was done very well. I liked the cast... the story kept your attention through-out... and makes for a great film for the entire family during the Christmas holiday. That being said I do prefer the original over this one. I liked how they did the court case in the origin more so then I did here. And I did find the whole marriage thing a little hard to swallow. That being said... I definitely recommend this film. I know I will watch it every year for my Christmas marathon.

Going by the trailer I wasn't sure what I would think of this one. But I must say... I enjoyed it more then I thought I would. It has a mixture of horror and comedy that I found a bit silly but entertaining. Some of the characters did get on my nerves a bit. And the ending was a little out there... but over all was worth the time put in to watch it. I definitely can see myself watching it again.

My Thoughts:

I found this to be a good and interesting take on the story. Though I must admit that I was limited on knowledge of the story to start with. I must say the visual effects was good and story easily kept my attention. I thought that Angelina Jolie did a great job as the title character. Actually I think everyone did well. For me the downside to this one is that the 3 fairies that took care of Aurora were a bit silly and aggravating to watch. But over all well worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
Woah. I really love the Jason Bourne franchise. I've enjoyed them all. Even the "Bourne" movie without Jason Bourne, not as good tho. I watched this when it first came out in the theaters and really loved it. And i rewatched it now at home. And wow. What a movie they have made. Jason Bourne as its best! And Matt Damon was\is in his best chape of his life. And for me (who is a big fan of Alicia Wikander) really loved what she's been doing lately, and specially in this one. She's making a big name for herself (specially with her oscar win!) This for me might just be the best Bourne movie ever made! And with that ending, i think we will see a number 2! Ofc, you have to check it out!!
