DVDs Rented in 2008

cute but predictable as all romantic comedies are. Love Diane Keaton's wardrobe in this movie, very 50's retro with full skirts, big belts and pearls.

I did not enjoy the plot as much in this one. Nor the filming style with all the shaking. I do give them credit for having great fight sequences.

I mostly enjoyed the story of this film. I was really pleased to see Alan Tudyk as the vet/dr - i love him! This movie did go a little slow and a little long for my taste.

Rented this one and did not make it past the first 45 minutes. Blach, horrible!

I liked it right up till the end - the ending is crap. Has funny parts.

I thought this was a very boring movie. My husband on the other hand loved it.

It maybe had a couple of funny lines but in general this was a bad movie. I really disliked Ben's character in this one.

A funny movie that has no point. There is a small plot to it but you mostly watch it to see how ridiculously outrages all the characters are and laugh at all the "balls" jokes.

This is better than the second but not as great as the first. The end bad guy is really cheesy but again, the plot up till the very end was good.

Enjoyable

I loved this movie. The fantasy story tale came alive to me and everyone was casted perfect. It was a little weird seeing Robert dressed up like that though. Very fun movie.

I watched this for the first time last night. I liked the fact that the movie addressed that the same thing was happening to the same people a second time. There were a few plot holes but what action movie doesn't? Was I the only one shocked that they actually crashed the plane with the people on it? I thought for sure they'd just skid around, catch a few things on fire but then people would be able to escape. At least John McClane saved the day in the end.

a musical using revamped Beatle songs. I have mixed thoughts. On one hand it's brilliant because several years ago i wondered if a story could be constructed from different pieces of lyrics. The movie is a similar concept of just using Beatle songs to tell a story. Also, I appreciate the artist style of most of it. The part i don't really care about is the fact that all the characters are basically cardboard stereotypes of the sixties era. There is a lot going on in the movie, I think if they tried to get a little less into it, it would have worked out better.

an oldy but a goody - it's amazing how fake a lot of it looked but how fun it is to watch.

Meh, it was ok.

Of course the movie is based on the book which I haven't read. I thought it was good. All the characters represent one or another of Jane's book Characters. I think it's considered a drama but i'm not sure, it definitely has woman in turmoil over love.

Good performances by everyone and enjoyed the story line.

touching story of a man adopting a boy that chooses to be from outer space to deal with problems that are bigger then himself.

fun but not great

I like musicals, this was only ok, i really enjoyed the "evil woman" character played by Michelle Pfeiffer. The big hupla of John Travolta dressing up and playing a woman, i don't understand it, it was bad! The most annoying part was how he couldn't seem to descide if he had an accent or not. The plot was alright, of course glossed over and simplified beyond nessecary. Did i miss the point of this musical? Was it a musical spoofing on musicals? I did think that Nikki Blonsky did a great job acting with some truely bad dialog.

exactly what the title says, an ok plot that gets a little complicated (in a confusing way) and not fully explained in the end. There is a tone of shooting and blood!

cute and funny and my husband even liked it. Did not think Susan Sarandon's character translated well from cartoon to real life.

Fun, over the top action, but who hasn't wanted to kill their spouce?

Can't believe how huge the cell phone was! One of the few performances by Cameron Deiz i like. Julia Roberts did a fine job.

boring, not much originality of people falling in love and then someone leaving the other. It was fun that it was filmed here in Portland. Lots of female nudity that I thought was a little unnecessary considering their target audience was females.

artsy, interesting but not fabulouse.

Nicolas Cage did a great job but he usually does. I really enjoyed the action, romantic, with a touch of sci-fi. If you were able to see 2 minutes into your future does raise some interesting questions. I was also surprised at Jessica Biel's performance, i actually liked her in this movie.

It is a cute and sad romantic comedy. I don't know why but i couldn't get over how Catherin has aged (still beautful!) but something about the clothing choices and make up just made it more noticable for me. I thought they did a great job casting. Not wild about owning but it was a good watch once. In the middle i thought maybe there was a homage to the romantic comedy French Kiss - when Nick (Aaron Eckhart) is about to leave the kitchen and Kate (Catherin) has to tell him to stay. Kate: "I want you <small pause="pause"> to stay." - which if you know French Kiss is the same type of play on words Kate (meg ryan) and Luc (Kevin Kline) go through in the hotel bedroom scene. Plus they use the same song: Via Con Me - Paolo Conte - not that is saying too much b/c that song is a little popular. On a side note I can't believe French Kiss was made 12 yrs. ago.</small>

Excellent movie! The dialog is great and the story touching. I cried at the end.

You know it's a good movie if they can get you to cry over a doll. The casting was well done and i cared about the characters.

I thought this was a good story and true in how grief can affect you. I laughed more then i expected but didn't really get choked up. I think this is my favorite movie Hilary Swank has done.

Entertaining but not amazing.

I thought this was a true account of how 2 siblings/people would react to an aging parent who was pretty negligent to them. I'm proud of Laura Linney's character for developing a boundary against a bad relationship. For once Philip Hoffman doesn't play a character that i find creepy.

Fun!!! Great actresses and a fun crime caper.

Interesting but

Very creative, the actors did a great job with their characters and enjoyed the story. The bonus feature on the DVD has an interesting small bio on the city they filmed in.

I thought this was rather boring. Good primise though and who wouldn't want endless money to do those last minute things? I didn't really emotionally connect with the main characters. I did however think Sean Hayes performance was excelelnt and provided the nice and needed comedy breaks. In the bonus material the writer talks about the book that was published with lots of people's bucket lists actually sounds more interesting.

A romantic comedy that kept me guessing! The story was excellent and the actors did a great job portraying their characters.

Twisted story but at least its interesting and kept my attention. I was expecting it to by a little funnier and not as dark.

A nice little plot line to go with a romantic comedy formula. I do love Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaughey together. I did not enjoy Donald Sutherland's accent, would have been just fine with me if he had talked normal.

The movie it self is good. It's a pretty typical expression of high school. The one character that is supposed to be the activist of the group is a little weak. Personally, i don't care to watch it again. I think i'm getting a little too old to appreciate teen drama. Even though adult drama isn't much different.

Quirky and funny at times. Enjoyed the use of costumes vs. CGI.

Wonderfully told story.

It was fine - liked the kid's personalities and owen is always good in my book. Had some funny momments but not many from a girl's point of view.
