Film: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

A very nice sequel! Again, on par with the first Narnia. Not much more to say, than looking forward to the third movie comes out our seeing it if it has come out.

Film: The Chonicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe


This was a much better movie than I thought it was going to be. The children are very solid actors and the plot moves a perfect speed. A great fantasy that kids and adults can share together. I would not put this film on the level of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, but it's up there. On a side note, my family has mentioned that the books are a great read.

Movie: The Purge


I had very high hopes for this movie. I waited a few months since first seeing the previews. I thought it looked interesting and innovative. The movie was anything but... I believe they could have done so much more and set the whole night up a bit more. Overall, don't waste your time unless you can borrow it from a friend. We spent way too much on this!

Film: Broken City


OK, we like Mark Wahlberg, and we thought he did a job acting in this flick. We also like Russel Crowe and his acting. However, the movie...was less than mediocre. Picture a long boring mystery with a bit of action and violence. Don't waste your time, bypass.

Film: Iron Man


Not sure how this received all the hype it received... Overall, it's a funny movie with some action. However, it could be a bit shorter and to the point. Not bad, but not dying to see the remaining 2 Iron Man films.

Film: Code Name: The Cleaner


This was actually a pretty good movie. Had some really good parts. It's a perfect comedy/mystery/action theme without being redundant! Go rent it, you will not be disapointed.

Movie: epic


This is a partially cute movie, but I would suggest to not waste your time. Really don't have much to say about it...reminded me of a B movie but an animated B movie, maybe a C movie.

Film: High Crimes


film was pretty good - mystery/suspense all the way. On a side note, I don't think Morgan Freeman has aged since The Shawshank Redemption. I know this is an older film but the guy always looks the same - great!

Film: Sideways


This film seemed OK, but we turned it off. I'd be interested in seeing how it ended, maybe I will rent it again.

Film: Robot and Frank


Excellent choice for any viewing occasion. I don't want to tell you too much, but it hits on many different genres. If you have seen the previews for this and you thought it looked cool/cute, go and rent it! Bottom line - solid movie.

Film: Snow White and the Huntsman



This was much better than we had expected. However, do not mistake this Snow White for the Disney classic as this is not appropriate for children. Solid acting overall, a long movie, but it surely won't disappoint you...unless you are looking for a different personality from Kirsten Stewart.

Film: Did You Hear About the Morgans


I liked this film. It moved quickly and was well acted. Well, Sarah Jessica Parker can get on my nerves, but Hugh Grant was spot on. This is a romantic comedy for sure. Watch it, you'll get a kick out of it.

Film: The Bounty Hunter


We really like Gerard Butler but this movie was not that good. It could be that I really don't like Jennifer Aniston, or maybe because the movie was just not that good, who knows. I would not suggest it unless you want to simply kill time.

Film: Untraceable


This movie seemed pretty good. However, the baby inside of me came out and I turned it off. Not one for scary films...wouldn't say this was a thriller, but it was more than I was looking for that night. I do plan on renting it again as it appeared to have potential. I will just have to watch it during the day!

Film: The Dilemma


I was impressed with this movie. Overall, it was funny and well acted. Somewhat predictable, but that is not always a bad thing. Vince Vaughn makes the film, like usual. Check it out!
