Nobody Walks

What drew me to this movie was John Krasinski. I adore him in most films, plus I just adore him! I usually love these kinds of lame indie type films; but this one just tried too hard. These are all incredible actors in the film and I just felt like the entire thing was completely forced and overrated. You can't force these kinds of movies in my opinion. I feel like they should be naturally awkward if that makes any sense. These are all high class actors they all deserve to be in something much more than this weird script that lacks way too much character development. And the movie is incredibly predictable. Classic young girl coming in and sweeping man off his feet causing major rifts in the entire family. It's just awkward and I really would not recommend it to watch. Or expect all I have said as you watch it. I rate the movie 2 out of 5 stars only because John Krasinski is super cute. For more movie reviews please leave a comment or suggestion.

The Lorax

As famous as this movie was when it hit theaters, I never got around to seeing it until my husband suggested it to me. I must admit, I was a bit skeptic. I love the previous Dr. Seuss movies, but this one I was unsure about because I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. When you first begin the movie you really start thinking, "Oh man, a freaking green freak movie. The world is going to hell in a hand basket yada yada yada." But then it finally kicks in and really begins. I think every actor that voiced a character brought so much to it! Even as voice actors they really delivered! And of course there is Betty White. Man, that woman is absolutely brilliant and the entire world is going to mourn when she dies which let's all hope is never. Anyway, as I was saying. This movie really picks up and goes somewhere and what I liked about it is that the message was not subtle. It was screaming in your face to change your ways, stop going against the tide, and most importantly CARE about your living surroundings. I feel like a lot of kids movies lately really lack that obvious message to learn. There are more "happy endings" and less "wow I actually learned something here". So many people these days try to treat their children as adults. THEY ARE CHILDREN!! They need obvious things pointed out to then because everything they see and hear is LEARNED! /endrant. I gave this movie 4 out of 5 stars and a definite recommendation as a family movie night. It will bring a smile and laugh to all ages I guarantee it!

Crimes of Fashion

This is a very adorable movie, and if you like lame chick flicks I would certainly recommend it. The back story is a bit lacking, but the story line is cute and I appreciated it as a fun movie to relax to while my little one took a nap. I love Kaley Cuoco in Big Bang Theory and 8 Simple Rules which is what lead me to viewing this movie. She really is the one that brings everything to this film. Without her acting, it would suck really bad. Of course the "mob" that she ends up running is very lame and she conquers the movie through her love of fashion; so that alone should turn away all harsh movie critics. This movie was quirky and not very stressful or suspenseful at all. It was a fun film that I enjoyed watching while I cleaned up my house and baked some cookies. I gave this movie a 3 out of 5 star rating. I wont find myself watching it again, but I sat through the whole thing.

Tanner Hall

This movie is not for everyone. It is an Indie film with a lot of sexual tension that is brought up. It has the main character who starts seeing a married man, and the secondary character who is determined to ruin everyone's lives for pretty stupid reasons. Even though you get a back story, I feel like you do not get truly introduced to the main characters; so it immediately makes it hard to relate to anyone. The story line picks up eventually and if you like C-rated movies like me, you'll stick around. I gave this movie a 1-star rating, but as I review it again, I would up it to 2. Even though I felt like it could have used some work, I am a bad movie watcher and I made it through this entire movie.

Justin Bieber: Never Say Never

I originally saw this movie in Theaters when I took my sister for her birthday and I was very impressed by it. I have no problem in saying that I enjoy his music, and after watching this movie I have no problem with my younger sister looking up to him. I was impressed by how humble he was, despite how much he had gotten in such a short amount of time. I liked the fact that he was a Christian and put it in the movie without rubbing it in our faces. Despite being raised by a single mother, he was brought up in a good home and learned moral values. He definitely is talented, the raw footage of him learning the different instruments does not lie how good he was at playing them. He also worked very hard to get where he is today. He has a lot of drive and talent; I definitely enjoyed watching that and learning his story. He also appreciated his fans immensely which is nice to see. I gave this movie a 5-star rating because I was surprised that not only did I like it, I saw it twice. I definitely recommend it as a low key boring night movie to watch.

16 To Life

his is a classic Indie film that when you first start watching it you're thinking to yourself, "Where is this headed?". My advice to you, if you are an indie film watcher, is to keep going. This is a classic coming of age story that reminded me of a book I read by Rachel Hawthorne when I was a teenager. This young girl is working in an icecream shop for the summer in the small town where she lives. She likes to read books and seems a bit of a nerd when you first are introduced to her. It's her 16th birthday and she's never been kissed. You get to see the other colorful characters working in the shop with her, including the shop owner and her sad excuse for a son. The ending is pretty typical, she gets kissed, but the process of the fun summer movie is quite enjoyable. I watched it twice!

My Girlfriend's Boyfriend

This movie is a great romantic movie to watch on your own with a big bowl of popcorn and ice cream. This movie isn't your typical romance; it holds a bit of suspense and the ending is a twist that you do not expect at all. I've always loved Alyssa Milano and she does great for her character. And the main guy character is the new type of geek that women everywhere are falling for now. He was adorkable and charming. And Jesse's little brother and his commercial issues provide the perfect amount of comedy to keep things light-hearted. I can't say too much more without giving the movie away, but I must say I certainly recommend it to all of my female readers. Even if you are not into romance movies (which I am not) you will certainly enjoy this one! I guarantee it! For more movie reviews, please leave some comments below.

Thor

Before writing about this movie I have to first say that I am not a comic book fan, so I knew nothing about Thor and his tale before seeing this. This movie is a perfect date movie to stay at home and watch with your significant other. It has Natalie Portman (what man doesn't like Natalie?) and Chris Hemsworth (Again, who doesn't love him?) so you're getting the best of both worlds. The action and story line in this movie is absolutely fantastic. I completely enjoyed every second of it, there was some humor to counteract all the drama. This is a very short review because simply; the movie was awesome. I don't know how much more to say then suggesting it to everyone. I gave this movie a 5-star rating.

Sassy Pants

My first thoughts when watching this movie was "Hey! The girl from Awkward!", "Hey! The kid from 8 Simple Rules!", "Hey! The grandma from Reba!". I was immediately hooked because it's rare that these types of movies actually have decent actors in them. I am already a fan of terrible movies with bad actors, but for them to have decent actors makes my life so much better. It was a bit slow to start, but as the movie picked up and she ran away from home I got excited about the kid from Sixth Sense being ridiculously gay. I mean, fabulous. Watch this movie if only to see him in all of his gay glory. I liked this movie because there was never a significant climax. It's nice to have a movie every once in awhile that doesn't completely stress you out with it's climax and suspense. The ending was cute, I enjoyed the fact that the mom changed her ways and let her daughter go despite her fears. I was worried that they would keep her psychotic and the girl would have to run away again, but no she had a change of heart and that was nice. Overall, I gave this movie a 4 star rating. I enjoyed the awkwardness of the actors, the Napoleon Dynamite type movie quality, and the characters. It wasn't the best movie I have ever seen, but it was certainly worth the time.
