Twilight (2008)
The book was better
I read the first book and then watched this movie. Up until about a month ago, I have been bashing the Twilight series. I read the book to give it a try and actually enjoyed. The movie though, is another story. It didn't really give the book justice and Kristen Stewart isn't the greatest actress to have been chosen for the role of Bella. I'm finishing up New Moon and will watch that movie next, but my expectations aren't very high because of the first one. I definitely would recommend the books over the movies. There were a lot of things left out and the movie itself seemed a little disjointed and it seemed to run through everything very quickly. For example, when Bella confronts Edward about him being a vampire, he just accepts that she knows right away and it wasn't very believable. If he were truly hiding his secret for almost 100 years, he wouldn't have just showed her he was a vampire right then and there, he would have been at least a little more guarded.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
A great movie for all!!
I'm usually a romantic comedy fan, and I heard a lot about 'Pirates' from friends, but I really wasn't expecting much from this movie. When I left the theater, I knew that 'Pirates' is going to be a personal top 10 movie! I give this movie 10/10 stars and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes any genre.
Crossroads (2002)
Surprisingly not bad
I am in no way a fan of Britney Spears and I really expected the worst from this movie, but it honestly wasn't that bad. It was no where near being a movie that would get awards, but I do think it had some lessons that people could learn from.
Finding Nemo (2003)
Cute, but not a favorite
It was cute and good for kids, but it definitely wasn't a favorite of mine. I enjoyed Monsters Inc. and Toy Story 2 a lot more than this movie. It's a good family movie and definitely something any kid would like, but it still didn't appeal to me.
Best in Show (2000)
I lost 2 hours of my life
When I saw this movie, I had no idea when the movie had started because it was all so confusing to me. I decided to keep watching the movie hoping it would get better. The ending credits ran and I didn't laugh once and the only thought that was in my head was, "Boy, I just lost 2 hours of my life watching that." I wouldn't even give this movie a star it was so bad.
Will & Grace (1998)
A classic show!
Will & Grace is a hilarious show that deals with society's views on homosexuality. Karen and Jack are the odd couple who add such a hilarity to the show. Will & Grace are best friends who I think are awesome together. I think this show will become as classic as "I Love Lucy".
Lucy (2003)
The ups and downs of America's greatest comedienne
Before I watched this tv movie I did not know much about one of my favorite actresses. After watching it, I realized how sad Lucille Ball's life really was. It had it's great moments too, but I didn't realize how sad it was. This movie was very good and told the story of the beloved Lucille Ball very well. I highly reccommend it.
Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Very good, Michael Moore is great!
Michael Moore is so good with handling serious topics and making them funny but still show that it is a situation that needs to be fixed. I laughed a lot during this movie, but I left the theater knowing what was wrong in America and things that need to be changed. I've seen Roger & Me also and both of these movies are great. I highly recommend this movie!!
White Oleander (2002)
I never read the book...
I'm not much of a drama oriented movie goer, but this movie was pretty good. Michelle Pfeiffer is beautiful as always and was great acting as the villian, when in reality she seems very sweet. The movie was not what I expected. I expected less of the movie and didn't want to see it but I did. It's a movie that I'd more than likely only see once. I just have to say again, I'm not a drama person, so this movie was not the most appealing movie for me.
One Fine Day (1996)
A very cute movie!
I love this movie! It is a really cute movie. I love any romance at all, so this movie is definately one of my favorites! Clooney and Pfeiffer are great together and both are amazingly beautiful people. I recommend this movie to any romance lover! It's great!!
Moulin Rouge! (2001)
I'm not a big musical person but this is my favorite movie!!
Baz Luhrman is an extrodinary man! I loved this movie! I don't usually like movies where they burst into song, but I loved the music and I absolutely adore Ewan McGregor's voice! Nicole Kidman was very good! Considering she hasn't sung before, she did spectacularly! My personality is parallel to Christian's so I understand everything. I was not fond of the ending, but I guess that is just what has to happen. :-( I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone who likes romance.
Again, I love the music!!!
Getting There (2002)
This was the stupidest and most pointless movies I have ever seen in my life!!
I hated this movie! It was pointless! It had no plot and what little plot they had was extremely predictable. They always are the "heroes" in everything and act like everything is perfect. This is the stupidest movie!! Everything is corny and obviously written by a twelve year old!!
