Across The Universe

This was a great movie...if I was high! I guess I am not an artsy person because this show was just very out there for me. The music was great and most of the songs I knew so that was fun, but I felt like it was fanatasia for people that are drunk or on drugs. So maybe I would have enjoyed it more in that drunken state, but I am not going to find out so if you watch it like that let me know what you think!

I was expecting more of a Mulan Rouge kind of movie, which in some ways it was, but it was hard to figure out what was going on at first with them switching storylines so much, which weren't explained well at all. Seriously there was a funeral and I didn't even figure out who the funeral was for until later.

I do admit that some parts were creative. Like when Uncle Sam came out of the poster singing I want you. But then all of a sudden they were naked in the water, that is the parts that I will never get. Sorry!

27 Dresses

Once a bridesmaid, always a bridesmaid, at least it may take 27 times to try and catch the bokay.

27 dresses was good, but one of those predictible "chick flicks" that you see. Wasn't really wondering what was going to happen next if you know what I mean. Word of caution, don't go with your 80 year old grandma because every time theres a kiss you will hear very loudly, "Oh no not this again!" But if you are down on your luck and need one of those heart warming love stories then it would be a good one to watch. It did have it's funny parts.

Honestly to me, it was a good one to watch once, probably won't be catching us watching it again though.

Juno

Yes this movie is set in the present, don't let the shorts fool you...

Now going into this movie I was wondering how it was going to be. But once you leave you have many lines going through your head and if you are like me and my husband we are quoting it the rest of the day.

"Did you know Juno was pregnant?"

"Yeah."

"Did you know it was yours?"

"Yeah."

"You should grow a mustache."

"I can't."

"Me neither."

Ok so maybe you have to watch this movie to get some of these lines, but I really think this was written very clever and interesting. If I would have been a pregnant teenager I would hope that my parents would have reacted exactly the way that Juno's parents did, mad but deal with it and help her.

So if you want a different, witty movie I would recommend Juno for sure. Note it is PG-13 for a reason. Obviously she and her boyfriend have sex and there is talk or else it wouldn't be a pregnant teenager movie.

Not sure if I would sit my children down when they are in high school to have them watch this to show what teenage pregnancy is about though...

Modern Day Snow White?

Sydney White and the seven dwarfs...yeah apparently that is what this movie was suppose to be about. I suppose it was ok for an afternoon of nothing to do since the kids were sleeping, but it wouldn't be a choice for a great movie to watch. It was ok, but I don't remember college having so much drama like high school does. Of course I never tried to be in a sorority so maybe they are all cliqish and self absorbed. Maybe we all are dorks in someway...
