Rush Hour 3 – with Lovey. It was all right. Very typical Rush Hour type movie, very typical Jackie Chan over acting, very typical Chris Rock comedy routine. It’s getting tired, and may as well… it’s the third one already. That said, at least with typical, it isn’t bad. It is entertaining, just nothing out of the ordinary. Favourite part was the comedy routine with ‘Yu’ and ‘Mi’. Ha.
The Bourne Ultimatum – with Lovey. I did not catch Bourne 1&2 (I am sensing a pattern here! I did not watch any of the Spiderman, Ocean’s 11, Harry Potter series… until I met CJ!) so I was a little slow on the uptake, and needed CJ to fill me in on the plot here and there. I liked it. The way they choreograph Matt Damon’s plan as he moved around was flawless – especially in the train station. I loved it!
Fido - with Lovey. Ingredients for a cult movie… except I’m not sure if it will be one! The premise of the story was interesting enough and a little macabre as well. It makes me uncomfortable. Like I don’t know if I should be terrified or amused. I guess that makes it interesting?
Ratatouille – with Lovey. Cute! Remy is adorable! Disney spent a lot of money promoting this film and rightly so, because it is really good. I won’t say it is my favourite Pixar movie – Cars or Finding Nemo takes the spot – but it is quite entertaining. Except I find it difficult to like Linguini’s character. He isn’t offensive, but he does not seem to have any strength at all! Love Remy, especially the scene of him in the bottle. Rats are cute! And Gasteau is adorable too … (/buddyvoice)’But… I’m just a figment of your imagination!’
Evan Almighty – with Lovey. A lot of people are giving bad reviews about this movie… but I liked it! I guess I have a soft spot of Steve Carrell (He was so funny in Anchorman!) Anyway, comparisons to Bruce Almighty would definitely be part of the critique. I liked Bruce Almighty better, but this movie is good on it’s own too. A few criticisms stated how Evan Almighty had no central theme… *rolls eyes* come on… sometimes you just want to watch a movie for fun! Looking forward to Steve Carrell’s next role — Dan in Real Life?
Hairspray – with Sam. Love!!!!! Especially Link! I’m sure I’m not the first female to gush over Zac Efron. He looks so good as Link! Now, I don’t like him much in Highschool Musical. I didn’t watch it, just don’t like him as a blonde. But with black hair… his blue eyes are beautiful! I loved ‘The Nicest Kids in Town’
Especially the roll call! James Marsden as Corny Collins is fantastic. Nikki Blonsky is very enthusiastic. John Travolta… I can’t find a word that captures how I feel which is basically ‘man-this-is-so-weird-but-i-can’t-look-away’. First time I’ve seen Christopher Walken in a role like this. Queen Latifah… fabulous! Michelle Pfeifer is so beautiful… I loved her in Dangerous Minds. Amanda Bynes is adorable. Elijah Kelly is smooooth
