My thoughts on the Crocodile Hunter Collision Course

Recently I got the Crocodile Hunter Collision Course. It was a funny movie. This was made before Steve Irwin died. I loved the Crocodile Hunter. I loved the show. He did so many things with so many animals. I'm not as brave as he was, but it made me want to learn more about animals. At the time of the show my favorite animal was the wolf. I wanted to study the wolves and even live with them. Anyway, I thought the movie was really great to watch. Even my little girl was watching it and loved it. She loves animals so I'm not surprised to see her laugh at the movie or just fix her eyes on the movie. I really enjoyed this movie that I had to watch it again. I miss Steve Irwin.

Would I recommend this movie? YES I WOULD! So go out and buy it or rent it or borrow it from someone you know. It will make you laugh. I swear it will.
That's all for today come back tomorrow when I review True Lies and Big trouble in Little China.

My thoughts on Slither

Recently I watched the movie Slither. OMG! WHAT AN AWESOME MOVIE! It was creepy and a little scary, but mainly creepy. I loved the worm things. I also liked the idea that they made the people into what looked like zombies. I thought that was freaking awesome. I also thought that at the end when he blew up that was freaking awesome!

Would I recommend this movie? YES! I SURE WOULD! You should rent this movie or go get it, but i wouldn't watch it with your children. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 17!

My thoughts on Cocoon

I recently watched a movie called Cocoon. It was a great movie. I liked how the Aliens were really friendly ones just trying to get their friends back home. I liked the fact that it was these three old men swimming in the pool when they realized the pool was saving their friend's life. The life force in the pool was drained and then the aliens had to have help putting their friends back into the ocean where they had been for years.

I also liked the fact that Atlantis was the aliens base a long time ago. Right before it sank.

Would I recommend this movie? Of course I would. I enjoyed it and I hope you will too.

My thoughts on Changing Gender Roles when doing a remake for TV or a movie

Changing a Gender role when remaking a Tv Show or movie

Battlestar Galactica
The original Tv show had Starbuck as a male. The remake turned Starbuck into a female. What is up with that?

My thoughts on The day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

Here is a long awaited review. My review on The Day The Earth Stood Still (2008). I thought the movie was great. It wasn't as good as the original. This movie had been modernized, but it had great acting. I enjoyed the movie very well. I especially liked the giant robot and the fact that there is someone out there watching us destroy our own planet. When given the chance to witness our destruction we then realize we need to change. The original was good, but this movie was better in my opinion.

Would I recommend this movie? Yes. So if you haven't seen it yet go out and rent it then I would like to know your opinion on the movie. Feel free to tell me your opinion.

My thoughts on Monsters Inc.

I sat down to watch Monsters Inc. with my little girl and realized why I enjoyed that movie. I loved the little girl named Boo. She was so cute. I have never laughed as hard as I did when watching this movie. I loved the fact that Sully had found out that children's laughter was more powerful then their screaming. Mike was funny too. I love the whole Googlie bear thing. That gave me a kick. My little girl laughed at the monster that fell down at the beginning of the movie during his training session. I forgot that part made me laugh as hard as she did. I'm glad she enjoyed that movie as much as I did when I watched it.

I had not seen this movie since my little brother was about five years old and my husband borrowed it from a friend to watch and we watched it. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed watching it with my little brother and then it made me realize that my little brother wasn't so little anymore. He's 17 now and probably doesn't remember all the times I sat down to watch a movie with him. I am hoping that my little girl will remember all the times that I have sat down to watch her movies with her. She really likes An Easter Carol by Veggie tales. I'll go into a review about that later.

My thoughts on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Just recently I watched The CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. I thought the story line was good, but the movie was really really long. It was a good movie it just was like "get to the point already." I can't sit through terribly long movies and this was one of the movies I couldn't sit through. I liked this movie a lot. I wish it was shorter though. Would I recommend this movie? Well if you like long boring movies about a guy that ages younger as he gets older then yes. If you like a story line and think it is very interesting that he is aging younger, but wish it had been cut down to two hours instead of almost what feels like four hours then no.

I enjoyed the movie and loved the idea of a man that ages backward as he gets older, but I just didn't like how long it was. It was terribly long. Brad Pitt is a wonderful actor and there was nothing wrong with the acting in this movie. THE MOVIE IS JUST TOO LONG FOR MY TASTE.

My Thoughts on Amityville Horror Original and Remake

I recently watched the original Amityville Horror and the remake. I found a lot of simularities in the movie as well as differences. I also have some simularities I liked and some differences that I didn't like with the remake. Here are my simularities and differences.
1. I loved the way the original started. It was more creepy then the remake's opening. I liked the remake's opening because they are showing actual clips from the event that happened.
2. The original movie showed the priest being attacked by the flies and not being able to breathe and then getting sick. The remake did not show the priest getting sick.

My Thoughts on Horton Hears a Who

Today I watched HORTON HEARS A WHO. It is a movie based on a book by my favorite children's author Dr. Seuss. I was watching it with my one year old daughter. She loved it. I loved it. I especially love the fact that Jim Carrey is the voice of Horton and Steve Carrell is the voice of Mayor Who. It was so funny. I liked the furry creature the one that puffed up and floated into space at the end of the movie. She was so cute. Horton hears a who is a wonderful movie to watch with your child even if you are a child at heart. I loved how it brought back my childhood memories of the story. I read the story when I was in kindergarten at school. I would recommend this movie for anyone big or small, no matter how old you are or how young you are. If you haven't seen this movie yet go get the DVD, rent it from your local movie rental and sit down with a nice hot bowl of popcorn with your children, yourself or your husband/boyfriend/girlfriend and WATCH IT. You'll love it as much as I love it.

Underworld 3

If you've already watched part 1 and 2 of this movie, you'd certainly know that this part is showing the past wherein how the Lycans (werewolves) started from.

It's good to know the history of where things have started. And same as the previous parts, the effects used are still astounding and realistic
