Ok, so I will admit that JLo has done some pretty bad films in the past, and I have seen almost all of them. But this one is finally right up her alley. Not only is she in it with her husband but her production company produced the film. The simple fact that she is that passionate about this film makes me want to see it. When she did Salina you could see the passion she had for it and this is the same type of film. And lets not forget about Marc...After watching the trailer and seeing her on the Today show this morning, I have no doubt that he has just as much enthusiasm about this project as Jennifer has. 

All in all, I liked this movie but I had a reallly hard time understanding who the players were in her life. I found myself asking if there were relevant to the story or just fillers?

This was so worth the wait! I can't tell you how impressed I am by this film. there was a story line, a plot, and it captivated me completely. What is it about Edward Norton that draws me into his characters? Much like Primal Fear, I was sucked in to who this person was and what made him tick. his love for Sophie in this whole film was undeniably strong. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for her. And while the ending was a bit predictable, I did not mind it at all. I was just anxious to see how he would pull it off and make Paul Giamatti sweat once again. Who by the way was amazing. Idon't think he could have played that role any better. His character made me want to hate him and give him a high five at the same time. I am looking forward to purchasing this movie. It is one that I will watch again and again with renewed interest.

We went from World Trade Center to The Last Kiss, one depressing movie after another. I have to admit I love movies with these types of story lines... on lifetime television. I feel like I am seeing the same movies over and over again with the same plot. What is it about Zach Braff films that bum me out so much. I felt the same way in Garden State. Maybe its that he shows little to no emotion. He doesn't ever seem to smile. Its always this long sad drawn out look on his face.

I watched this movie on Saturday night. This is one of those flicks that you either love it or hate it. It's basically all about upper class society, drugs, teenagers and the denial their parents live in (remember the part in Traffic where the kids from the upper class families are spending all their money on drugs? Its like that, but better) Oh and there is a kidnapping, but I won't spoil it for anyone. Glenn Close did a great job in this movie too. There are certain times when I do not like her(fatal attraction), but she was so Stepford in this movie, I couldn't help but think those are the types of roles she should play more often. I got really sucked into it. I think the next time I watch it I will like it even more. Normally I will work on my wedding photography or knit while watching movies, but with this one I found myself so involved in these kids lives that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Overall Rating: 4 Stars (Although the next time I watch it, I may have to change that to 5 stars)

Yuck, I feel like I need to take a shower now. How is this movie supposed to be funny? I feel like I have been in an ashtray for last 90 minutes. This was recomended to me by a friend of mine. I am going to have to tell her that she needs to listen to me a little better when I talk about the films I like. I was really hoping to find something funny in this, but I was truly dissapointed :( Overall Score: 1 Star

Well this was a weird movie. Basically the premise of the movie was about sex and relationships.. well what comedy/romance movie isn't right? I have to say that I liked it but it wasn't enough to keep my attention. It was in an "interview"style film about several sets of couples in all stages of relationships talking about sex and love. I love Edward Burns and I thought he played a really great character. I don't really have much to say about this one other than if you are bored and its on cable, it is an entertaining 90 minutes. Not funny, not sad, not profoundly insightful, just entertaining. Although I did think it was interesting to see the relationships between each of the couples grow and change in the different stages of their lives..like you could almost see the moment on their faces where they realized this was a huge mistake and they seem to grow up just a little bit in that instance and it forever changed who they were as a person. Or in one guys case, not changing at all and falling completely downhill.. Overall Score: 3 Stars

Hey everyone! This next weekend is very rare for me, I do not have anything planned, nor do I want to plan anything. I was thinking it would be nice to catch up on some of the movies that I haven't seen and I am open to suggestions on what you think I should watch. Maybe something obscure, maybe something off the wall that you think no one has heard of, maybe its a really old film that is hard to find.. So far on my list is: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas The House of Yes The Break-Up I am curious to hear what you would watch if you had a no-plans/all movie weekend ahead of you? :)

I laughed so hard I almost cried. Every scene was funny in its own special way and I cannot wait to buy this film when it come out on DVD!

Has anyone actually seen this???

I saw this movie this weekend, I didn't think I would like it. I mean I have seen the story of Steve Prefontaine before.. woohoo, no big deal right? Well for some reason this one was totally different. I was so sucked into the story and the acting that it made me want to see it again and maybe possibly buy it! The film really made me feel like I was there with him rather than sitting on my couch watching it. It inspired me, it made me cry, it made me laugh and I really have a whole new appreciation for who Pre was and his determination and drive. Highly recommended!

Whats next? Snakes on a car?

Little Miss Sunshine is opening at Celebration Cinema North on the 18th of August! I can't wait to see this :)

We watched this last night on the IFC On Demand channel and I am pretty sure I don't want to see it again. It just realy lacked energy and passion. I was interesting enough to keep me awake for the 109 minutes, but not interesting enough to want to watch it again. The plot was really dull and there was some really bad editing. Has anyone else seen this? What do you think?

I hope this comes to Grand Rapids, I watched the trailer today and I really think I am going to like this. Here is the link for the trailer: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/runningwithscissors/index.html Enjoy!

Has anyone seen this? I want to see it but I am wondering if its worth it!

I can not wait for this film to come out! I read this book about a year ago and loaned it out to all of my friends and they all LOVED it. I remember reading this book and thinking (as I often do) about what a great film this would be. I found myself wondering who would be the best actress for Miranda and I think Meryl Streep is an excellent choice. Not sure I would have chosen Anne Hathaway for the part of Andrea, but I think she will do a great job, she has the right look for the part. Anyway, I just wanted to share my excitement with the Spout community. I am going to see the movie on Friday and I am counting the hours until then!

This is one of the all time best movie out there for anyone who has ever worked in a strict office evironment. Or anywho who knows what PC Load Letter is. Or for anyone in general. I quote lines from this movie a lot!
