| The Proposal - PG-13 |
romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Betty White. directed by Anne Fletcher. when shrewd New York book editor, Margaret Tate (Bullock), is threatened with deportation, she forces her assistant, Andrew Paxton (Reynolds), to marry her. however, before they can tie the knot, she has to go home with him and meet his family... in Alaska. I love Sandy B. and would watch her in anything... I watched Speed 2 for goodness sakes!... and despite the fact that this is a very predictable film that follows the good ol' rom com formula to the letter, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Betty White once again steals all of the scenes that she is in, as the silly, yet very frank, Gammie. I love her! just wanna pick her up and put her in my pocket! another happy little find for me was The Office's Oscar Nunez, as Ramone, the town's go to man for everything... including the town's exotic dancer. he made me giggle several times. oh! almost forgot about the soundtrack... Katy Perry, Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock, Lil' Jon... good stuff! sweet, funny little rom com. ♥ |

action flick starring Jun Ji-hyun, Allison Miller, Masiela Lusha and Koyuki. directed by Chris Nahon. based on the live action anime film of the same name, the film follows Saya (Ji-hyun), a half-human half-vampire, who hunts down other vampires and demons. in a post-Matrix world, it is difficult to get excited about most fight sequences, but this one has a few scenes that are very well done. beautiful visuals and great action made this one entertaining. pretty damn good. |

| The Ugly Truth - R |
romantic comedy starring Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler, Cheryl Hines, John Michael Higgins and Kevin Connolly. directed by Robert Luketic. television producer Abby Richter (Heigl) is successful, intelligent and very beautiful, but when it comes to the opposite sex, she just doesn't get them. enter the very blunt and very sexy host of the show she produces. he makes a deal with her... help him and he will help her get her very own Mr. Perfect. typical rom-com formula... one is cynical about love, the other is not. they hate each other at first, but then end up falling in love with one another. yada yada yada. what is not typical... the language and dirty jokes. I was quite surprised at some of the things that were coming out of Mr. Butler's mouth... and finding myself even more attracted to the sexy Scot. definitely not your mother's romantic comedy, but funny and sweet at the same time. pretty good. |

comedy horror flick starring Ever Carradine, Portia de Rossi, Bianca Lawson, Jeremy Sisto, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Erik Palladino, Diedrich Bader, Brent David Fraser and David Carradine. directed by Matthew Leutwyler. a group of friends on a road trip stop for the night at a small town bed and breakfast, where soon they find themselves surrounded by local towns folk who are being controlled by an evil spirit. this was one of those films that I had never even heard of and just happened upon. was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed this flick. intentionally cheesy and full of great comedic gore, I found myself laughing throughout most of this one. zomg... almost forgot about the songs! was singing We're Comin' To Kill Ya for like a week after watching this! xD good stuff. great little zombie comedy. ♥ |

| Hellraiser - R |
horror flick starring Doug Bradley, Ashley Laurence and Clare Higgins. based on Clive Barker's novel The Hellbound Heart. written and directed by Clive Barker. man finds box. man receives all kinds of kinky pains and pleasures. man is killed. man's lover and her husband move into old abandoned house, where he once lived. the lover discovers he is dead... sorta. man must convince lover to do horrible things so that he can be whole again and they can once again be together. disgusting, yes. but scary, no. I mean, come on... the dripping, oozing dude was just nasty. and the whore that wants to get it on with him... even worse! it made me laugh once or twice, but mostly it just made me sick to my stomach. I honestly don't know how I ever thought this film was scary. another film that is way over-hyped. |

| A Clockwork Orange - R |
dark crime drama starring Malcolm McDowell, Warren Clarke, Patrick Magee and Michael Bates. based on the Anthony Burgess novel of the same name. directed by Stanley Kubrick. the tale of Alex DeLarge (McDowell) and the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via a controversial psychological conditioning technique. after hearing for years about how amazing this film is, I decided to finally attempt to watch it... and was extremely disappointed. maybe it's one of those that have to be watched all the way through, in order to appreciate it. but within minutes, I had to change the channel. I am sorry, but I do not find such a film entertaining. and I would certainly never call a film that shows not one but TWO women being sexually assaulted in such an extremely graphic way, within the first fifteen minutes by the way, a classic. disgusting. ** UPDATE ** to those who didn't understand my review... I didn't watch the entire film... just the first fifteen minutes. as soon as they started to cut the clothes off of the woman, I changed it. I just don't find watching someone being raped a decent form of entertainment. when a scene of rape or abuse is a crucial part of the story (i.e. A Time To Kill, The Accused, Hound Dog) I normally just fast-forward those scenes. but it was on television and I didn't have the option to ff it. I may give it a chance some other time... but I doubt it. and yes, I know that those things do happen in the "real world". I just cannot stomach any form of sexual abuse and when I watch a film, it is to be entertained and to escape from the ugliness of the world. but that's just me. |
