'Door to Door' Review

Netflix sent me 'Door to Door'...

Sometimes, I do not remember why I put a movie in my queue.

But I very much liked this movie.

Thumbs up.

Warm Bodies Review

So 'Warm Bodies' was at the top of my Netflix queue.

And then it sat my house for awhile...because I wasn't all excited to watch it.

And then I finally watched it.

And this thing happened, called: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

I think part of my hesitation was the lead actor...Nicholas Hoult...

See, when he was younger, he starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, "About a Boy".

(if you haven't watched that movie...go watch it.)

And since I absolutely love that movie...maybe a part of me didn't want him to suck and ruin part of the simple joy I get from 'About a Boy'.

But...he is a great actor.  I will trust him from now on.  If he happens to suck in something, I'll be blaming the director.

Back to 'Warm Bodies'.

R is a zombie...he thinks his name started with an 'R'...he doesn't quite remember...and he ends up liking a girl.  And that gives his heart a jump start.  And you need to watch it because it's just good.

It's PG-13...dues to partial nudity...???...at one point, he takes a shower and you see the back of his shoulders...I don't know that that's partial nudity.  It wasn't a sensual thing.  It's fine.

It's also due to violence.  It is a zombie movie...there is a scene where humans get killed.  Oh, and a zombie starting to turn into a skeleton dude.  But it's okay.  It didn't frighten me...I didn't really notice the human/zombie violence much because that's when R sees Julie...that's what I was watching.  Their relationship was starting and she didn't even know.

Watch the movie.  My girls think it's terrific also!

Two thumbs up.

The Intouchables Review

Oh...it has been quite some time since I have enjoyed a movie like I enjoy this one.

I sit here in my "office"...because it's a french movie, and I know the hubby doesn't want to watch and read the movie...so I sit, and read the subtitles...and enjoy the french language because I enjoy this movie so.

Driss (the grinning fella in the picture above) made me laugh so many times.

I loved watching Phillippe (the older fella in the picture above) enjoy life moments more because of Driss.

The relationship between these two men touches my heart.

I'm not giving anything away.  Because I want you to watch the movie and enjoy it all on your own.

Thumbs up doesn't even begin...I really really like this movie.

Go to your netflix...add it to your queue and then move it to number one.

I highly recommend this movie.

p.s.  i still don't know how to say the 'f' word in french...lol...

The Host Review

Two brief reviews in one...because I have to.

I asked the husband, "Want to go see 'The Host'?"  Fully expecting a nope...and then going by myself...because anything resembling a chick flick, he doesn't want to have anything to do with...  But then, he said, "Sure, tomorrow?"  Okay.

So, on the morrow we went.

All the way in, I'm waiting for some "chick flick" comment...but it never came.  Previews start.  More "nope" coming from our mouths after each preview than "I want to see that!"

Although, we were both surprised that we want to see the new 'Superman'!

I'm more surprised by him wanting to.  Usually, comic book movies get a "nope" from him.  Like the new Iron Man...nope...I'll be enjoying that one on my own.  Which is fine.

Back to this movie.

Not to reveal details, if you don't know them, I don't want to spoil anything...the husband knew nothing about it except that I loved the book and had brought it on our Mexican cruise with the younger two and got really into it.  It messed with my head, in the best way that a good book that you've dived into can mess with your head...back to the movie...so sorry...I get distracted...

They did a good job.  It's been awhile since I read the book, so I forget how old the character was, but I guess, in my head, I had her older.  And I didn't have the seeker as old.  But that's all okay.  They did a great job with the uncle's "place".  I really want to see the mirrors from above...

I wouldn't say that this is for a youngsters.  Private parts are kept covered, but...the little ones don't need to go.

Leaving the theatre, I said they didn't destroy the book.  They did okay.  So, from someone who loved the book, and wasn't upset with the movie, I'd say that's a positive thing.

He liked the movie.  It kept his interest.  I told him they rushed a few things, but it's a BIG book, so they kind of had to let you just know that feelings were developing instead of how you got to live them in the book.

Movie?  I don't love it, but I liked it.

Book?  I love it.  Don't know that I'll reread it, because what if it's not as good the second time through?  I don't want to take the chance of ruining it in my head.

Odd Life of Timothy Green Review

Well, don't know what took me so long to see this movie...

Actually, I do.

Movies have been sucking for the past few years.

Finally got this dvd via the handy dandy service called Netflix.

Put it in the computer to watch on one screen while messing around on the other screen...

And was happy with the outcome!

Because I got more caught up on the movie on the monitor to the left, than the websites on the right monitor...

Which, in the world of an ADD brain, is saying something folks.

Just a cute movie.

Touched a nerve at the beginning, whatwith them dealing with their infertility (it's okay, i didn't just give anything away...), but it was done in a sweet and real manner.  So it ended up being a HUGE plus in the movie.  For me.

But then, this is my review.  So of course it's for me.

Anyway...I'm not going to go into the story, or what I like, but I rarely buy a movie and I'm considering this one.  

It's family friendly.  It's a nice story.  And the parents are awesome...she's just overly cautious and he's a nice counter to her...he loves her and is nice about her worries...

Have a nice day...that's too much pressure...have the day you have...

Watch the movie.  It's a good one.
