Precious

The most powerful movie I have ever seen.

Sitting on the Fence

Clever marketing...cool storyline...slow build up...creepy moments...but was it scary?
Not really.

Train Wreck

I was sitting on the fence for the majority of this movie
but the "gallon of milk" line pushed me over the edge.

Seven Pounds

Make sure you bring tissue.

You can't spell families without 'lies'.

I haven't enjoyed a Christmas movie this much since watching my all time favorite - no matter how many times you've seen it, you can't help laughing at the same scenes Christmas movie, Jingle All The Way.

Advance Screening

We just got home from an advance screening of Iron Man. I really like
Gwyneth Paltrow. Great Expectations is one of my favorite films. And Robert Downey Jr. is always entertaining. He
was brilliant in Natural Born Killers.
So I was really looking forward to tonight.

I'm so disappointed!

Street Kings

So much potential....and then there's Keanu.

Yawn

Boring. Boring. Boring.

More Gore

Saw - ****!
Saw 2 - ****!
Saw 3 - ***
Saw 4 - ***

We're still talking about it...

a day later.
A thought provoking storyline combined with Will Smith's irresistible charm and flawless performance make I AM LEGEND so much fun. Check it out.

2 Hours 37 Minutes

And not one dull moment. See this film!

Third Time's a Charm

The best action movie of the year.

Another Sneak Peak

Friday night's sneak preview was The Transformers. I can remember playing with my brother's Transformers when I was a kid. They were really cool....for about 10 minutes. The same feeling applies to the film.

Standing Ovulation!

Last night's sneak preview was Knocked Up. ****1/2 out of ****!

Mein erster Film auf Deutsch

Last night, instead of heading to our regular (original version) movie theater, I chose to watch Hostel 2, in German. G and I were fans of the first Hostel, and we talked about every gory detail for days. Actually, G never watched a horror film before I rented Saw. Isn't that crazy? He hadn't seen the classics like Friday the 13th, A Nightmare On Elmstreet, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre...and the sequels and the prequels:) After Saw, he was hooked! So after a long wait, we were excited to see Hostel 2. Surprisingly, even with Quentin Tarantino involved, Hostel 2 was not as original or scary as the first. I still had to cover my eyes on some parts but we both were underwhelmed. But! For my first film in German, I could understand a lot more than I thought I would. I mean the story line is pretty simple - go to the hostel, get kidnapped, get killed - but overall, I wasn't playing catch up with every scene.

Sneak Peak

Every Friday night at 11pm, Cinema München (our favorite original version theater) features a sneak preview. Basically, you don't know what you're going to see until the movie actually starts. It's a hit or miss because it may be a blockbuster film or it may be something obscure. But overall, we've seen some good movies that aren't released until weeks later in Germany. It's a pretty cool back up plan for getting out, when the weather sucks or you just don't feel like going to an overcrowded club on a Friday night. Last night, we saw Shrek the Third. It was better than the second but still not as good as the first...but if you're a fan of the Shrek series, you'll enjoy it:)

I laughed for 90 minutes!

Wickedly funny:) It's a must see.

And does anyone know why German movie theaters have assigned seating?

See something extraordinary.
