I can't decide how I feel about this movie. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't really up to my animation expectations.

10 Years (2012)
I really was a fan of this movie. I know that the characters were stretched a little thin and the story lacked in depth, but it was a good watch, and I'd see it again.

Nature Calls (2012)
It's been done before...many, many times.
Too much unnecessary cursing, not much depth, corny conclusion. But it wasn't a COMPLETE waste of time, so I'll give it that. Good for late night background noise.

I'm ashamed to say that I actually enjoyed this installment of the Twilight series. Maybe because it meant that it was finally over, or perhaps I just fell in love with Mackenzie Foy as Renesmee, I'm not sure.
Kristen Stewart should have been a vampire the whole time- she was actually good at being dead and cold...
But in all honesty, yes. This was the best out of the franchise.

Dark Skies (2013)
I saw this in theaters on a first date.
Funny story, actually. I think that I'll share.
Being the gentleman that he is, he INSISTED that I choose the movie. Since I enjoy every genre that exists, I decided to go for horror. However, it was not until we were in our seats and the trailers had begun that he informs me that he is terrified of scary movies. I said we could see something else, but no.
So he sat with his eyes covered and in the fetal position through the majority of the film.
Good first date?

Deadfall (2012)
Have I ever mentioned how much I love Olivia Wilde? No? Well, I love her. She made this movie, although I might be biased.
Lydia's rating:
I really like Hugh Grant and Nicholas Hoult is one of my favorite child actors. Was this my favorite movie? No. But it was very heartwarming, and uniquely done.
Lydia's rating:
Of course I loved this movie! I can't even tell you how many times I have read the book, so I was apprehensive, but excited when I learned of the film adaptation.
Naturally, I will always prefer the book, and there were some changes that irk me just a little, but I can understand why they implemented them.
Great movie. Worth a second watch. And a third, and fourth...

Seven (1995)
I don't think that I have anything negative to say about this movie at all. Morgan Freeman is gold, Brad Pitt is in his prime, and Kevin Spacey plays his part perfectly.
This whole movie was wonderful.

Leap Year (2010)
I've seen this movie before, and I liked it. But upon re-watching it, I appreciated it even more. Adorable movie.
Lydia's rating:
Jack Reacher (2012)
I went into this not with less than high epectations, but was pleasantly surprised with an enjoyable film.
If it were me, I would shorten the shoot-em-up scenes, but that's just because I get bored with continuous gun fire.
I was not familiar with the leading lady, Rosamund Pike, and, frankly, was not impressed. Her facial expressions kind of distracted me as they were either over dramatic, or didn't fit the general mood of the scene.
