Repo Men

We recently watched the movie Repo man with Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Liev Schrieber and a multitude of other people.  It is based in the future and it is about a company called The Union who manufacturers hearts, livers, kidneys, etc.  You sign papers, they finance the transplant, and if you forget to make payments, they repossess them.  Now, it is a very weird movie, but it is good.  I'm still trying to figure out the ending, as the DVD skipped at one place and threw us forward.  Any way, I do recommend this for the watching if you haven't seen it.  Rating it at three and half stars, because the jury is still out.  Have a great day!

Movie Review: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Okay first I don't go to the movie theater to watch movies.  So all my movie reviews will be after the fact, but might help if you haven't seen the movie.

We just recently watched Wall Street Sequel.  It stars of course Michael Douglas, Shia LeBeouf, Carrie Mulligan, Frank Langella, Josh Brolin, and Susan Sarandon.  There are some other actors that appear, but these are the ones with the most of the roles in the movie.  Now I never saw Wall Street, but I'm sure it was very good.  So was this one.  Does it keep you guessing?  No.  Revenge is the main theme in this movie.  It is pay back and lets see who we can make pay for how I was wronged. 

I do recommend the movie and it is a great rental.  I probably would not pay 7.00 to go see it at the theaters, but then frankly, I'm not sure any movie is worth paying 7.00 to go see.  I give it 4 stars and think you will be surprised if you haven't seen it. 

A Correction to a Movie Review: Winning Season

Okay when I originally shared my movie review about the movie Winning Season, I typed that the main actor was Dean Stockwell.  That is not the case.  It is actually Sam Rockwell.  However, in my defense you can see the similarities in the names.  Anyone would be confused right???

Any way it is an extremely good movie.  I still suggest that you watch it.

Later,

We have only been watching old movies this week.  Iron Man last night.  However we did watch Up the Walt Disney movie.  I do have some interest facts to share on that one.  Stay Tuned.

Another Movie Review or Two

Leap Year

Okay so another one of the movies we watched this weekend was Leap Year.  It was a lot better than I had thought it was going to be.  I know it is an older movie, but I'm not usually into romantic comedies, but this one was excellent.  Amy Adams and Mathew Goode play the main characters and I loved the music from the show.  I want it now!  Even my husband liked the sound track. 

I give this one a five star rating!!!

Inception

Okay it is a long movie, complicated but definitely worth the watch.  You really have to pay close attention to the story line and what is happening.  It is espionage at it's finest, by stealing secrets from a person's mind or planting an idea.  It is a dream, within a dream, within a dream, within a dream.  I give it 5 star rating.  It is rate R.  There was some language but more so a lot of violence in the fight scenes and when they are trying to come back out of the dream.  It has Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Caine and several other starts that I can't remember their names.  Please check it out!!!

A couple of more

Okay we also watched a couple of duds in the last few weeks and here they are:

The Last Exorcism - total thumbs down

The Remake of "Nightmare on Elm Street" - I only going to give it two stars...  I liked it, but it is way off from the original.  Although come to think of it, I don't know that I made it all the way through the original.  But I do know this, Robert Englund is a much better Freddy Kruger than Jackie Earle Haley.  (Not sure that is correct on his name).
