Easy A

Comedy night here we come.If you're a fan of John Hughes movies, then Easy A should be your next movie. This movie is geared around a high school nobody who chooses to lose her virginity to get a reputation. Although, the movie is based around sex it wasn't the base of the movie. I had an under 13 year old with me, and I wasn't covering her eyes for those type of scenes.

The movie lived up to its hype as another great teen comedy. The theatre was full by the time the movie started so don't wait until the last minute to get to your seats.

Rate: A (easily)

Buy: Theatre if you can, rent or buy when it's out.

PG-13 I took under 13(this is high school ages, so expect language).

Eclipse (Twilight Saga #3)

Cover of Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

After reading the book I wasn't expecting more than the capture of a Edward and Bella romance. I was pleasantly surprised with better special effects and a more detailed story.

I was disapointed again with the lack of character use. Maybe they will fix it in the final two movies?

If you see this movie in a theatre go a week or two after the release date. You will miss the fangirls. They ruin it everytime they swoon over Edward or Jacob.

Rate: B+
Buy: Fan - go
Girlfriends a fan - go
Other than that rent or buy if you like the book. If not... You could careless.

Yes it's still kid friendly if you're okay with your kids seeing a topless Jacob constantly.

Once again I find myself taking the kids to see the latest animation. Funny, strange and cute is how this movie transpires. The typical ending always disappoints, but still stirs up a little emotion. Over all if your kids are asking it's worth paying for.

Rate: B+
Buy: Theatre or DVD
Kid & Adult friendly

This movie has it's funny parts, which can be seen in the trailers. The actors may pack the theatre(drive in for me), but they didn't keep them through the entire movie. The plot has been done many times. Sad since it's a great cast.

Rate: D
Buy: Wait for cable
Yes PG13

Karate Kid (2010)

This movie was similar to the original (1984) Karate Kid, but with enough changes to make you love it. Based in another country young Jaden Smith plays his role perfectly.
I paid to see this one at the movie theatre and can't wait to buy it on iTunes.

Rate: A
Buy: Must see
Kid friendly

IMO - In My Opinion

I'll be sharing reviews and thoughts on movies, books, restaurants and more with whom ever finds this blog useful. Thanks for coming by and I'll give you my opinion soon.

Pet Peeves

Grr.. I wonder why we have pet peeves. It annoys me that I have them, and they're everywhere you go. I'm sure many of you have the basics just as I; chewing with your mouth open, not turning off the light when you're not in the room, and not washing your hands. 

Although, those are only a few that drive me crazy.  I won't tell you to (not)do them, but I bite my tongue, and gripe about it in my head.    

I decided to research a little, and found a website that has voting on your own pet peeves.  I wasn't surprised to see open mouth chewing #1, and not washing hands #2. 

I probably won't find a cure for my annoying little vexation, but I am not alone.

Good day all.
