Ok everyone, here are my reviews of the last six movies I’ve seen in the theatre (from first to last). I know …. "who cares?", right? (lol)
1) The Lord Of The Rings- by far and away one of the BEST movies I’ve seen in quite awhile! THe music … the special effects … the acting is all first rate. Three hours wasn’t enough for me and it left me wanting more! If you haven’t seen it yet and are thinking "well, I’ll just wait for it to be released on video" I urge you to SEE IT IN THE THEATRE!!
2) Not Another Teen Movie- You know the saying "If I could do it all over again…" well, I would finish that sentence with … "I would not have wasted my money on that movie!" It was just stupid and very sexually vulgar. Ok, movies like "Scary Movie" and "Scary Movie 2" were quite risqué, but NATM, was just ridiculous! There were a few funny moments, but they were very few and far between.
3) Vanilla Sky- I was quite disappointed in this movie as well. It’s only saving grace was the acting (Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in particular). I left the theatre with this huge ? hanging above my head!
4) The Majestic- After seeing NATM and VS, The Majestic was a wonderful breath of fresh air! It was a very lovely movie and Jim Carrey was very good in it. Its only downfall was it was a bit slow moving in some parts, but that aside it’s definitely worth watching. It’s so wonderful to see a movie without any sex or violence. I left the theatre with a longing in my heart for the "good ol days" and yet there was a peace in my soul.
5) Kate and Leopold- another very enjoyable movie. I was swooning over "Leopold". *Sigh!* Now why can’t the men of today be like that?! Anyway, as someone who likes romantic comedies, I thought this one was very sweet. FYI= Sleepless In Seattle, is not only my favorite romantic comedy, it is probably one of my all time favorites.
6) Oceans Eleven - another enjoyable movie. A great cast including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts (the first three are not too tough on the eyes, especially George Clooney!). Fast paced and a witty dialogue. I haven’t seen the original Ocean’s Eleven yet, but I would like to.
So in ascending order how I liked them (from least to most):
Not Another Teen Movie, Vanilla Sky, Oceans 11, Kate & Leopold, The Majestic and The Lord Of The Rings.
just thought I would share that with you!
