Today, I saw the most original movie!!! It was not about the plot, a simple one. It was about a man's reaction to what was happening to him. He started out as a selfish, self-centered person and thru trial and error, evolved into a more compassionate person. Of course, you'll have to see if he's rewarded for his efforts. Great story.
Rating: *** 3 stars (main character's acting was a little iffy at times)

December Movies
OK. so I'm a little behind on movies.
But, I really haven't seen a new movie until this past Tuesday, the 15h.
I saw---"Brothers." It's a very good film, sad and sweet at the same time.
Rating------*** stars because it is a very deep subject.
This past weekend, I got to see "Avatar," on 3-D IMAX.
Wow, it is so visually stunning and lots of action, too. It blew my mind,man.
I'd see it on the regular screen, too.
Definitely worth the extra money and gets ****4stars. WOW!!!!!

Tuesday-----NOV. 24------"The Blind Side"
Based on a book--------"The Blind Side" was everything I was looking for in a holiday movie.
You feel good when you exit the theatre, not wondering what you just saw and if it was good or not.
Trust me, go see it. You will be glad you did.
RATING------*** stars---3
NEXT WEEK: who knows?

Week of NOV. 20-----"NEW MOON"
OK, so I saw the first movie----"Twilight"---read all the books. So, I had to see this new movie.
UGH!!!!! I thought the first movie was filled with teenage angst, but this was much worse.
Twihard fan that I am, it was 2hrs.+ worth of agony.
The only real bright spot in the film was the addition of Jakub Black's character as Bella's best friend. He was really a standout!!!!! Loved the wolfpack or should I say, sixpack!!!
I hope the next movie ---"Eclipse" is better. It should be, more action in the book.
Rating----**1/2 stars--two and a half if you can stand it.

A lot like the book, almost. It's 3-D, and lots of fun!!!! I really enjoyed it and gave it *** 3 stars for the animation. Dark like London was, but very cheerful, like the book.
SEE THE MOVIE, READ THE BOOK!!!!!! by CHARLES DICKENS.

Week of NOV. 3
This week, nothing really good was playing at the Regal, so I went to the Georgia Theatre Company's dollar movie---actually $1.99, where my daughter works.
YES, you can go see movies you have already seen. Don't you rent then when they come out on DVD? I do, and watch them over and over again on HBO, etc.
I loved and still love------"The Time Traveller's Wife."
Based on the book, you have to see it again to recognize it for what it is, a truly romantic movie.
It is romantic without being too sappy, unlike "The Way We Were."
I would give this ***--three stars just for the lead actors----Eric Bana and Racheal McAdams.
They really made me believe in their love.
NEXT WEEK---------is it too early for Christmas movies?

Halloween Week
I went to see---"Cirque du Freak---The Vampire's Assistant." This movie was based on a series of young adult books called The Vampire's Assistant.
WELL, got to the movie and the sound wasn't working, then the picture went out and then the sound back and forth for about a half hour. I went and complained, it was fixed, and the manager gave me 2 tickets for future use for my inconvenience.
About the movie, it was lots of fun!!!!! Kids will love it, parents don't worry, it's PG-13 and not too scary, as I'm a big wimp when it comes to scary movies.
Next week, a even scarier movie? Or Michael Jackson?
