The Details (2016)

The "ending" just didn't work for me. Other than that, I did like it.

I'd really like to hear other opinions on this movie.

They (1965)

Once upon a time, when I was just a wee one (in middle school), I attended a sleepover and my friends wanted to watch this movie. I, knowing my limits, called mom crying saying I didn't want to stay and watch it. So I was picked up early. Probably a good thing, too. As an eleven year old, I would have been TERRIFIED. But as a rational adult, it was just ho-hum.

Safe Haven (2013)

Holy Twist! Not expected for Nicholas Sparks novel. Not at all!

Uncertainty (2012)

I think that this had the potential to be good, but the two stories simply were not compelling enough to keep me interested.
The director did a really good job at making sure that the audience is always aware of which story line we are watching using simple devices such as different colors, but I felt that for this movie to be good, the two choices should have been more parallel.

Hit and Run (2012)

I have never seen Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard work together before, but I really enjoyed seeing their real-life chemistry on screen. They are a lovely couple, and I've always loved Kristen Bell.

Now, for the movie...
This one just didn't do it for me. Acting was well done. Love the actors (although I always hate seeing the gorgeous Bradly Cooper unkempt), and the story line was there-ish, although kind of draggy. Just didn't do it.

White Irish Drinkers (2010)

I really liked this film. Twists are always appreciated, and this film gave it to me. One of the best I've seen this month.

Warm Bodies (2013)

I wanted to liked this movie. I really wanted to love it, but I didn't. It was entertaining, but I'm not crazy about zombies. Maybe it's the "ick" factor, I don't really know. So, for a zombie movie, this one was definitely unique and worth watching. Different ending than any other zombie movie I have EVER seen, and I've seen a lot.
So if you like quirky, kinda icky zombie movies, be sure to watch this!
