Good Morning! The last day of March - wow!
Are you watching Survivor this time around? I almost gave up when Russell was given the boot (yes, I am a fan, for entertainment purposes only) but I stuck around and I think it's as good as it's been in awhile.
Idol? That'll be a whole other post!
The week-long birthday celebration is continuing over at the Scrapbook and Cards Today Blog, and in fact I'm up today with some birthday photo shooting tips so head on over!
OK, movies! As you know, I love them - love going to the theatre, love watching them on dvd or on demand, love Netflix, I am a movie girl!
Here are some I've seen lately:
LIMITLESS: Entertaining. Bradley Cooper can definitely carry a movie. It had a few silly moments, but I liked it overall. Robert deNiro always reminds me of my father, and Emma saw it and said exactly the same thing!
RED RIDING HOOD: Twilight with a cape, really. However, when my teenage daughter organizes a movie night with her 2 friends and their moms, who am I to say no?? The company was lovely :)
LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS: Pretty bad. Between the Oscars and this, I am losing faith in Ann Hathaway. Although Jake is hot :)
DUE DATE: Double awful. 2 of my favourites and it just went so wrong!
Now a couple I am looking forward to:
DIARY OF A WIMPY KID RODRICK RULES: The first one cracked.me.up. I have a weird sense of humour, which would explain why I want to rent this:
JACKASS 3: I have been a Johnny Knoxville fan for a long time, and I don't like the gross stuff they do, but the blindfolded skateboarding and wasps in locked limos - love it!
THE LINCOLN LAWYER : I actually think this one looks good - has anyone seen it?
INSIDIOUS: I am a sucker for a really good scary movie and this trailer scared the sh!t out of me so I have high hopes; the only question is, am I brave enough to go see it in a theatre and who would go with me?? (PS - same makers as Paranormal Activity - eek!)
I'll close with this one:
WATER FOR ELEPHANTS: Loved the book, loved it. Not sure if R-Patz has the depth to play Jacob, but we'll soon see!
Have you seen anything good lately? Looking forward to anything?
Have a great Thursday!
Have only seen one on your list and that was Due Date and totally agree with your review. Want to see Lincoln Lawyer, my parents saw it and really liked it. Will probably wait for Limitless to rent. Haven't read anything about Water for the Elephants will have to check out the book.

Hey Kathy
My sister and brother-in-law went to see Lincoln Lawyer and say it was awesome!
Just fyi ;o)

Lincoln lawyer was fabulous!! I saw the other ones you saw too, and same reviews for me. I also can't wait to see insidious, I think this weekend. And of course we are taking the kids to see Hop - the Easter bunny movie.
Love Survivor, I was bummed when Russell went home too. I would love to see Rob finally take it lol

First, your daughter organized a movie night with her friends & moms!?! That is the cutest thing ... you're a lucky mom :)
And I totally agree with due date, me & my husband couldn't wait to see it, for the same reason, 2 of our faves, but I think we felt like shutting it off ... but we made it through :) What a shame though, eh :S
Thanks for the reviews .... I have been off sick from work for ~ 6 weeks now (& I usually don't even miss a day!), I had hyperemesis gravidarum & was dehydrated & still am (I am in my 2nd trimester now) ... but the point is (haha), some night I would like to relax at the movies instead of in bed ... limitless is on my list!!
I visited SCT but your post wasn't up yet ... I'll try again in a bit .. .can't wait to read it :)
Oh and jackass ... we just watched it, I have a weird sense of humor too, but there are a few pranks that i don't like ~ but some, I want to try :) haha
.... I should just start a blog eh :) haha

Oh (I knew I wasn't done yet!) ... I am looking forward to the Russell Brand movie, not that it looks like a classic, but he is out of control & I have a weird sense of humor, that looks right up my alley :)

totally agree with you on your reviews; did you see Berlesque? I know it's 'old' but the ratings weren't great & I thought it rocked! Waiting for the L.L to come out on rental; don't do the theaters too well.. obnoxious people & !!cell phones, yes, people do chat!!oh, well, have a great week, catch ya next week!

Well, I know I'm not going to Insidious with you... way too many nightmares! I do want to see Water for Elephants. Reese can probably pull it off, if Rob's good looks aren't enough. I loved her in everything I've seen her in.
Survivor - Hate Russell. Adios, you sorry little man. Love Rob. Always have. He's not perfect, but neither am I. ;) I'm addicted, and would hate to miss an episode. Am I enjoying it? I guess so.
Whew! This is the longest comment ever!!!
Have a great day, KT!

I saw Limitless for my birthday last weekend and LOVED it!! I want to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but I need to see the first one haha! Insidious looked scary as crap! and I was scared silly and slept with the lights on after paranormal activity lol! If I lived closer I'd go see it with you :)

Bummer on Anne Hathaway and the movie due date! I really like her but lately I'm not so sure.
Really love Zach G. So bummed to hear the movie's not so great!

I thought Lincoln Lawyer was pretty good. Some interesting twists...and of course...Matthew ...need I say more? I work in law firm so it has some even funnier moments :)
Have a good day.
