Movie Diary November 2013

There is no hiding the fact that I am hopelessly in love with Robert Downey Jr. And I loved him in this movie as well. But at the end of the day, the whole film was just "meh".

So, this was bascially the female Hangover. Kind of.
I would watch a bit, then go away and come back days later. I finally, FINALLY finished it, just to be done with it.
I love Isla Fisher(she was probably the only reason that I finished it at all), but other than that I was not a fan of the cast.

The first thing that comes to mind is, "Does Emily VanCamp only take roles with her own first name"

This was so much better than the first movie. I honestly was not a fan of it's predecessor. And I like Thor with Sif.

Wanted to like it, but didn't...sorry. But damn, that voice. :)

Some of the scenes were hitting a little too close to home for me, so I didn't actually finish this, but instead read the synopsis online for the last 30 minutes or so.
But I still think that this is incredibly underrated.

If you're into extremely tangled and(frankly) fucked up, love triangles, you are going to eat this one up! It was a tiny bit out there for me. I'm all for quirky, but this was just a little bit too surreal for my taste.

I liked this flick. True, it isn't for everyone, but I enjoyed it. This is a topic that is not often touched, but they did it well.

I know that this is a kid's show, but it felt a little all over the place. It felt more like a compilation of television episodes as opposed to a feature film of Recess.

Now THIS was a good Netflix find! I think that most parents forget what children hear and pick up on. This dived into that head-on and did a wonderful job!
Through the entire movie i held back the urge to scream at the incompetent parents. Julianna Moore did a wonderful job at making us hate her character. And the father was just as infuriating. They didn't deserve Maisie in the least!
Alexander Skarsgård did great, as did the adorable Onata Aprile. Wonderful child performance.

Underwhelming at best.

Re-watch from childhood, and I definitely enjoyed it more a an adult. Quirky and cute, but still average in my book.

Re-watch with parents.
I had to up my rating from 5 to 7. I obviously wasn't paying attention the first go round.

Re-watch with the parents.
I knew that my mom would love it as she does home care for an elderly couple. And I was right. She did.
Rating stayed the same.

I think that the writing for this film was poor, even though I love the actors I felt like it was a waste of talent.
