Terminator Salvation  (2009)

Since I have to teen girls, we treated Dad to a guy move, this robot movie.   Since I'm a Terminator fan, I was hoping to follow up with the current storyline.  I was at the edge of my seat the whole time!  Just when I thought the movie was coming to an end, something dramatically goes wrong and then here comes more action!  I wasn't  sure the kids would like it because they never seen the other movies with Arnold Sschwarz....egger.  But when the credits came up, they applauded the move. Good work!  Very good writing!

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian  (2009)

I brought my two girls to this movie expecting too much.  We really enjoyed the original Night at the Museum and we pop the DVD in every now and then when we need a supernatural good story.  In this version, however, I was only impressed with the different special effects.  We walked out of the theater disappointed and one of the kids said, "Whoever wrote this movie turned in the first draft."

Coraline  (2009)

This movie looked so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o promising!  I absolutely love Halloween and thought  fer-sher I would love this kiddie flick with my kids.  It started off really well, very spooky ambiance, right?  Well, we get to the old gut-hanging over guy...1st "creep out."  Then the old ladies re-live their perverted youth as berlesque trapeze mermaids, one wearing just nipple glitter!   This was shocking!  All my friends said so, and they regret taking the kids out to see this so called masterpiece.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind  (1978)

I gotta shape my mashed potatoes like Devil's Peak!  The tempo is a little slow for this quickie generation.  The first third of the story, I asked myself , "What the..what's happening.. what is he thinking...etc."  Then I look for the required phrase in almost EVERY movie : "I don't understand."  That used to nearly kill me, but now I see it as an Easter Egg of sorts.  I would place a bet that someone would say it , oh, about 45min. into the movie.  This movie is an oldie,  where the story has to carry our interest to the very end, and not the cgi nor other fx.  Now that communication tune is playing in my head!  I would reccomend this movie to anyone who has had experience with UFO's and other weird creteures from Crete.  Ha ha, just kidding.  Sorry Ya-ya Billie.  Seriously, anyone who is studying film making should tear this movie apart and make another one.  This time with gobs of special effects.

Wall-E  (2008)

WALL-E is a cute story that my tweens liked a lot.  I believe they were studying the romantic butterfly dance between WALL-E and EVE.  I wasn't sure why the robots wanted to keep humans inactive.  Did they draw their evergy from himan fat cells?  Somebody help me with this, please.  I missed it.  I must have been munching on too much loud and crunchy popcorn.

Once  (2007)

I felt mostly  comfortable watching this movie, that I felt I was a little sibling, wishing I got a quarter every time someone said the f-word, (cha-ching!) , and following the characters around with my video camera.  Big brothers and big sisters always ignore little sibling tag-alongs.    The music was very nice.  In fact, I was going through Circuit City's soundtrack section when I saw "Once."   I didn't get it because I never saw the movie.  So I looked for the movie and WOW. Expensive!  Finally after thinking it over for a few months, I gave in.  I enjoyed the storyline of the movie but still don't know why that "Old World" of people have to cuss so much.  I guess they're a bunch of Fornicators Under Consent of King -ers.  My British friend said it's a way of life now, to profane everything casually.
