Hoot 2.5 Stars
I watched this for "earth day" Ha ha J/J. this was a cute film about a couple of kids trying to save some baby owls. I think it was based on a boook, and it was cool to see Jimmy Buffet acting.

Say Anything... 5.0 Stars
so this movie came on over the weekend and I can't believe I didn't have it on my top fav. this movie is a great 80's romantic comedy with john and joan cusack. even though you don't see that much interaction with the two of them, it is cool to see them together acting in the scenes they do have. i totally recommend this.

i would have given this more stars but i'm not sure i'm feeling ben stiller. it is almost like he started off as one comedic character and got stuck and is the same in every movie he does, he was cool in reality bites don't get me wrong, but... he needs to work a little harder. ok enough about that. it was also cool to see dick van dyke and micky rooney in this . they still got it! ;)

FINALLY!!! I can't believe it took me this long to see it. I absolutely loved it. what an imagination J.K. Rowlings has. Although I haven't read the books, I'm going to start. Overall this one reminded me of Prisoner of Azkaban, where it left you wanting more. I was also very pleased to see that the actors are committed to staying in the sequels

Hmmm, I love you Dr. Christian Troy. I thought the editing and story was very creative in this film. Also think Sandra's acting is really getting to be something worth talking about. She was very believable. Didn't care for the ending but loved the theme.

The Invasion 3.0 Stars
Ok so I felt like i was having Deja Vu watching this. it was ok for the most part and definitely lived up to it's suspense/thriller moments. It had a few moments of cool editing, but there was one part where the story line just jumps ahead and didn't really make sense but you get over it. I didn't know it was based on "The Body Snatchers" so that was another little bonus. Overall Kidman delivers once again.

This was like Ghost meets Sixth Sense, but not as good. I think this could have been a great movie, it had lots of potential. It was really slow in the beginning and the ending just didn't make sense. Of course you'll have to see it to know what I'm talking about but i don't' want to be held responsible for you wasting your money.
