Reserving my spot now and I am seriously going to track all my theater visits in 2008!!!
JANUARY1/2/08:
PS: I Love You! *** / ***** I owed my girlfriend a chick flick and we actually took my mother along. I am seriously not a Hillary Swank fan but I do love Gerard Butler, however he should stick to playing spartans!!! Far too much crying in the theater for my taste!!!
1/14/08:
The Bucket List ***.5 / ***** You know Jack is getting really old. This is a really good film about getting old and living life to the end, I liked it!!!
1/15/08:
The Orphanage ***** / ***** It seems that Gillermo del Toro has a golden touch lately!!! This was an outstanding ghost story with an a great ending, this one I loved!!!
1/18/2008
Cloverfield ****.5 / **** Honestly if it wasn't for the shaky handheld camera footage making me queesy several times throughout the film, this movie would have recieved 5 stars from me!!! I just feel that the movie was awesome!!! However if you are looking for the typical who, what, where, why, and how then you won't like this movie, and forget about the grand hollywood ending!!!

27 Dresses *** / ***** There is almost always a chick-flick to balance out the guy flick...
I don't think this one was too bad, just hopelessly formulaic!!! At least I enjoy looking at Kathy Heigle!!!

Untraceable **.5 / ***** Some good acting by Diane Lane keeps this one from getting 1 star, but the plot holes are fairly big!!!
FEBRUARYWhat a slow February, only visited the theater twice and both were romantic chic movies...

Fool's Gold **.5 / *****
Hudson and McConaughey team up again in this adventure/romantic comedy light on plot but fun nevertheless!!! Donald Sutherland didn't get enough screen time, however the Alexis Dziena as his spoiled rich daughter made it more enjoyable!!! Light fare at best!!!

Definitely, Maybe **** / *****
This is a good heartwarming movie. The 3 main female leads, Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher, and Rachel Weisz simply made the movie enjoyable to watch!!!

Penelope3/12/2008 *** / *****
Christina ricci always seems to land these strange roles. McAvoy was decent!!!
JUNO ****.5 / *****
Smart and funny, Ellen Page was brilliant, I really feel everyone should check out this movie!!!
Doomsday ***.5 / *****
Now this is a GUYS movie!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and if you've seen the trailer, yes this is like a combination of
Escape From New York with a bit of
Road Warrior and any post apocalyptic virus movie all thrown together!!!

The Ruins **.5 / *****
This movie was decent, I enjoyed the premise and it wasn't one of those dumb horror vessels where you are left scratching your head wondering how these people could be so stupid. That said I only gave it 2.5 stars because it was a rather anti-climatic ending!!!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall **** / *****
You know it seems lately that Judd Apatow has the golden comedic tough. This movie continues his golden streak. Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell together on screen automatically give this movie 2.5 stars to begin with, but I gave it 4 overall because I really enjoyed the movie and I found myself getting past the weird everyday guy hooking up with and having sex with the 2 hot sexy young girls incredulous part!!! The eccentric brittish pop/rock star almost stole the show!!!
MAY5/1/2008
Iron Man ***** / *****
Finally a superhero movie that isn't watered down!!! Iron Man didn't pull any punches. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!!! Oh yeah, Robert Downey Jr, yeah he was perfect!!!
