Love Happens

We enjoyed this sweet romance. Not only was it funny, but dealt with issues about grieving in a tender way. I rate this movie 7 out of 10.

Aliens In The Attic

Another fun family film. Very creative and humorous. Probably for a little older school aged kids. I rate this one 7 out of 10.

Adam

This independent film lived up to our expectations. It let you into the life of someone struggling with an autistic disability. It was well acted and the love story was genuine. I rate this one 7 out of 10.

All About Steve / The Proposal

Sandra Bullock did it again. She plays ditsy very well. She also plays drama well, and I'm looking forward to seeing her in Blind Side. I think I have most of her DVD movies. If you don't like crazy you won't like this one. We liked it though, it's just plain fun. I really enjoyed the wordplays from crossword puzzels. I rate this one 7 out of 10.

On the other hand, The Proposal was humorous, but I had a hard time recommending it to anyone because of the nudity. Yes it was embarrassingly funny, but it would have been just as funny without that much skin showing. I was disappointed with the rating system.

Movies are one of my passions. It's my way of seeing the world, understanding various cultures, enjoying a good laugh, letting tears flow, releasing the detective in me, and feeling like I've gone to the future or the past in approximately 2 hours! I LOVE IT!!! (and I'm addicted to popcorn)

Because I go to the movies so often, friends and family are frequently asking me for my opinion on what I see. I certainly do not agree with the professional movie critics. I am much more conservative in my taste of entertainment. I will not be viewing R rated movies. If I had my wish, there would be no foul language or nudity allowed in PG films. I'll be more than happy to give you warning about it. Although I do enjoy some things that others who are more conservative than I may be offended by. But I do enjoy all genres of movies. I see action, adventure, suspence, etc. with Mike and Chay. I see chic flicks, independent films, foreign films and documentarys with my sister Nancy. I see children and teen movies and musicals with my down-syndrome friend Ashley. I must say that musicals are my favorite. I'm so glad they are back in style. ( Mama Mia, Hairspray, and Enchanted to name a few)

No two people enjoy all movies the same. This is just my opinion. I usually rate movies from 1 to 10 like olympic scoring. 5 meaning it's okay to see, but you might want to wait for the DVD to come out instead of paying theater prices.. 6 through 8 are recommended, showing the different degrees of memorable enjoyment. With 9 and 10 having all the elements of a great movie: meaningful storyline, humor, tears, and you want to see it again right away! I rarely give a 10, maybe once a year. I would love to hear feedback.
