Story of the Weeping Camel

In the Gobi Desert, one of the nomad’s camels gives birth to a rare white camel, which she rejects as soon as it is born. I needed to see this movie because I love funny looking animals like camels and check out the face on the poster! You can’t...

Anchorman

Set in the 70’s where men ruled the newsdesk, Christina Applegate comes in to shake things up as the brand new anchorwoman, which does not sit well with Will Ferrell or his mustache. Typical Will Ferrell movie. Very goofy and you just have to be in the mood to...

Thirteen

Holly Hunter is mother to a young girl who starts using drugs, having sex, and doing all sorts of other bad things cuz of her new cool, bad friend. The friend was also the co-screenwriter of this movie, at the ripe old age of 14. I expected this movie...

Spartan

Val Kilmer and William H. Macy are detectives assigned to rescue the president’s kidnapped daughter. In the process, they find out about another crime happening within the White House. The trailer must have been misleading to cause me to think William H. Macy was in the movie very much. I...

March of the Penguins

Documentary following emporer penguins in Antarctica as they get together to mate and raise their offspring. A couple of FRANCH guys filmed the penguins while they came up out of the water at the end of their summer to make the march to the breeding ground, find a mate,...

Closer

Four people, two couples and a lot of intermingle over the course of four years. Starring Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman, and Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts bugs me. She didn’t used to, but she has bugged very much in the past few years. Her character was supposed to...

Pieces of April

Katie Holmes is the girl that couldn’t wait to get out of the suburbs. She is determined to make Thanksgiving dinner for her estranged parents in her tiny Lower East Side New York apartment where everything that could go wrong does. Katie Holmes is good in this movie. She...

The Longest Yard

I remember watching this movie when I was younger and couldn’t wait to see this latest version. Kat and I went from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants straight into this movie. What a difference in genre! For those who didn’t see the original or don’t know the concept –...

The Missing

In 19th century New Mexico, directed by Ron Howard, Tommy Lee Jones comes back to New Mexico to make amends with his daughter, Cate Blanchett, but her daughter is kidnapped. The acting in this movie was really good. The story wasn’t all that interesting. It could have been, but...

In Good Company

Topher Grace plays the 26-year-old boss to Dennis Quaid’s 51-year-old character. He also has a thing for Quaid’s daughter, played by Scarlett Johansson. I highly recommend this movie. Dennis Quaid and Topher Grace are great in it. Scarlett Johansson didn’t have much to do in the movie so it...
