Cars 2

June 22, 2011

I was fortunate enough to attend an advance screening of Cars 2 tonight with Caitlyn.  Full disclosure: I have never seen Cars in it’s entirety.  Cars is one of the “in-between” movies.  My kids were too big and my grand kids were too little.  But Caitlyn had seen it and was excited for Cars 2, [...]

Get Him to the Greek

June 4, 2010

I have been seeing previews for this for quite some time.  I had no desire to see it.  I enjoy Judd Apatow movies and I really like Jonah Hill but the fact that Russell Brand was in it was enough to turn me away completely.  I don’t think I have ever seen him in anything, [...]

The Invention of Lying

October 6, 2009

I adore Ricky Gervais.  I am also pretty fond of Rob Lowe, Tina Fey and Jennifer Garner.  Which is why I was afraid to see this movie. As I mentioned before in the review of It’s Complicated, multi-star movies have been know to flop and flop HARD.  But like It’s Complicated, this one held up [...]

Couple’s Retreat

September 29, 2009

This is an early review, the movie is scheduled to open on October 9, 2009. Rom Com times 4.  Thankfully, it holds up with all 4 couples. Vince Vaughn is featured most prominently on the poster and gets top billing but it is Jason Bateman who is really the star of this movie.  Once again [...]
