Thursday's Three Line Reviews

Yeah, yeah...I know. A ton of time has passed and I haven't been dedicated to my blog. Truth is, life just gets in the way. Anniversary, Easter, Family Reunion,etc. etc. etc.

But, I still get my movie watching in. And t.v. watching. Lots of t.v. watching. Have you seen The Borgias? Jeremy Irons is BRILLIANT! Or Game of Thrones? I do believe this just might be my favorite show on t.v. right now.

But...here are my Three Line Reviews. Maybe it will help you decide what you want to watch this weekend and what you want to avoid.


TANGLED: Adorable Disney movie with lots of jokes that go over the kids' heads, but parents will get and appreciate. I absolutely LOVED this movie. Quite possibly one of my favorite movies I've seen this summer and move over Ariel, because Movie Junkie has a new favorite Disney Princess.



A PERFECT GETAWAY: Worth the click of the On Demand button. The scenery is beautiful, and Timothy Olyphant, as usual, is awesome and I always welcome Steve Zahn in a movie. Not a great movie, but definately entertaining.



SOCERER'S APPRENTICE: Put this on for a family movie night. Nicholas Cage, as usual, is annoying. All four of this family voted to end the movie more than half way through and go to bed.



BLACK SWAN: Artistic and Symbolic. Natalie Portman's performance is brilliant and the look behind the scenes of a real ballet company is interesting. Not sure it was worth the nomination though.


THE MESSENGER: Heartwrenching and just overall great movie. Woody Harrelson is great, but Ben Foster and Steve Buscemi (in a very small role) are amazing. A very emotional movie that everyone in America should see.



PREDATORS: Entertaining, action packed sequel to the Predator series. It can't be too bad if it has Adrian Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, and Laurance Fishburne in the cast, can it? Watch it for the fun and the special effects and not for the plot.
