Some "Classics"

Since buying a HDTV and Blu Ray Player(I am a complete and spoiled brat), I have been watching movies a lot lately. I guess when you get a knew toy, you want to play with it a lot! It rocks by the way. I got a pretty good deal at RC Willy and I had been shopping for a few weeks, so I jumped on it. And with an HDTV you really should have a Blu Ray player. It makes a lot of difference. The player will convert DVDs to 1080p which is close to HD quality. I LOVE it! I think I am now a TV snob but that is okay. When I am in my wonderful little space, I have all the HD I can handle! Here is a look at some of the movies I have watched recently. I am really on a Christmas kick, so look to lots of reviews!

1. The Holiday
This is one of my all time Favorite movies. You should watch it again this holiday season just for fun. Make sure to eat popcorn while doing. That is what I do and it is fabulous. P.S. Kate Winslet is awesome. You should know her. I wish I did.

2. The Notebook
I forgot how sweet this story is. I love romance movies and this one is a great one. It has everything and Rachel McAdams is awesome.

3. What Happens in Vegas
Hilarious movie. Cameron Diaz has great humor skills and hello Ashton Kutcher is always funny. I like this movie. The peeing in the kitchen sink is a little bit, but it is admittedly funny!

The Karate Kid

I loved this movie. Jaden Smith is so very cute. He is definitely Will Smith's son! He makes some faces that make you think: "That is a miniture Will Smith!" Crazy. Jackie Chan is also amazing. I have always loved him and he is a martial art whiz! I didn't think they could do a good job with a remake of this classic but it was very good. They kept the integrity of the message but gave it a new twist. See it. It will make you laugh, cry and hurt in the kidneys.

Salt

All I can say is that Angelina Jolie kicks butt. She really is the Queen of Action Flicks. I wish I were as cool as her with smaller lips. Sometimes when she was on the screen I was distracted by her lips...they are huge. Anyway, this movie was awesome. It had suspense and action. Watch it! It won't disappoint!

Inception

SEE. THIS. MOVIE. It will change your life...or at least entertain you with amazing cinematogrophy for a few hours.

Spiderman

I watched Spiderman last night with the nephew. It reminded me how much I like Tobey McQuire. I also noticed that Kirsten Dunst has an amazing dimple. I wish I had a dimple. Oh and I do have to say that upside down kissing looks really fun. I really need to find a boyfriend.

You should take the time to watch this classic(it really isn't that old) or another one and remember why you love movies. It is good for the soul!

Remember Me

Watch this movie. It was fantastic. It stars the ever so famous these days, Robert Pattinson. He is cuter as a real human instead of a vampire, if you ask me. Of course, I hate Edward. Anyway, this movie portrays what it is like to try to make it on your own in New York. It also deals with how you don't really get your parents when you are younger. It also has a flare of romance in it (again...beware of the sex scene...I had to close my eyes. No peeking...GOSH!). Pierce Bronson is in it and he always is good. I don't want to tell you about the end because it is totally a surprise that may bring tears to your eyes. It made me remember!

I give it a Statue of Liberty!

A post about a million and one movies...

Sorry that each of these movies does not get its own post. These are the movies I have seen thanks to Netflix this summer.

1. The Open Road. Starring: Justin Timberlake, Jeff Bridges, Mary Steenburgen, and Kate Mura. Basically, this is like a made for TV movie. Take that as low budget or whatever you take from that statement. Justin Timberlake's character goes on a life changing journey as he tries to find his father and bring him to his mother's bedside(she is hospital and is going to have heart surgery...her wish is to have the dad there before she has the surgery). JT's character takes his friend along and there may or may not be romantic chemistry there. This is a good movie. If it were in the Redbox, I would say see it...otherwise....ya know. It gets a surgeon award.

2. Run, Fat Boy, Run! This is a British Movie. It was fun to see different sites from around London. The basic storyline is that a man walks away from his pregnant fiance while she is at the altar. He tries to make things okay by running in the London Marathon. Basically, he thinks that if he starts to get in shape and have a goal, he can win her back. It is a very humorous movie with the cinematography taste of Juno, Napoleon Dynamite, and Whip It.(That independent darker tinge?). I would say it is a good movie to see on a weekend. It gets three gold laces.(out of five)

3. Griffin & Phoenix Staring: Dermot Mulroney and Amanda Peet.
Hello....Dermot Mulroney? He is fun to watch. I loved him since My Best Friend's Wedding. And Amanda Peet is just cute. Anyway, this story is about how knowing you are dying can make you live. Enough said? I would say hold off if you don't like sex scenes...it is hard for me to watch those with my mother! It is a good story though. I give it seven Kleenex. It is a tear jerker.

4. According to Greta with Hilary Duff.
Hillary Duff plays an angst filled teen who is sent to live with her grandparents for the summer. It was kinda an annoying movie to me. I had it on in the background while I played a game on the iPhone. It was typical of all the teen angst filled movies. It was good but I wouldn't pay lots of money to see it. I don't know why I like Hilary Duff but I do. Take that. It gets a container of eyeliner for it's award, from the angst and all.
