Kate (Fey) is a single, successful career woman who wants something more: a baby. But she gets more than she bargained for when she hires Angie (Poehler), a free spirit from South Philly, to be her surrogate in a hysterical mama match-up. From birth class to baby-proofing, they're the ultimate odd couple that critics are calling "the best female comedy duo since Lucy and Ethel" (Claudia Puig, USA Today). With hilarious performances from an all-star cast featuring Greg Kinnear, Dax Shepard, and Sigourney Weaver, Baby Mama is as full of laughs as it is heart!

My Thoughts:
I found this one to be a ok... but not what I would call a great comedy. It has some funny moments in it... but for the most part I just found the characters weird and the story line predictable.

My Thoughts:
Well, i decided it was time for a rewatch. Havent seen this movie in ages, i know the sequal is in the theaters right now and the reviews are great. And i really enjoyed this one. Its a great action flick with a typical revenge story, but they does so much more with it. Keanu Reeves might not be the greatest actor, but he makes a great "John Wick" And there are alot of other interesting names too. And this blurayset offers a great upgrade from the dvd. With great sound and picture. And with some great extras. I enjoyed this so much that i've allready preorded the sequel! Check it out.

"Ain't never gonna have no partner," LAPD Det. James Carter insists. He gets a partner. And since that partner is played by dynamic martial arts legend Jackie Chan and motor-mouthed Carter is played by wisecracking Chris Tucker, Rush Hour zooms along with gleeful chemistry under the dynamic directorial hand of Brett Ratner. The case: rescue the kidnapped daughter of a visiting Hong Kong official. The result: amazing stunts (Chan does his own) and verbal wit (well, Tucker does his own, too!) that delivered a kick to the buddy-cop genre – and gave Chan his long-awaited, mainstream-U.S. breakthrough.

My Thoughts:
This is a film I have always enjoyed. The entire franchise is probably my favorite that Jackie Chan had done. While I never been much of a fan of Chris Tucker... he is good in these films. Definitely worth the time put in to watch.

My Thoughts:
I found this to be a very entertaining film. It is a good true story... and it has several familiar faces. Unlike most true story films this one doesn't give you any kind of notes on what happened after the story that was told.... and I would have liked to have seen that. But over-all the film easily kept my attention and seemed to go by quickly. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
Well, i dont write reviews that often anymore. Mostly because i'm lazy and i found letterboxd. But this movie i decided to rewatch on bluray (saw it first time a few years ago on DVD) and the movie was actually alot better then i rememered it to be. The story is simple but great. Jessica Alba as a blind girl who get new eyes, and stuff happens ofcourse with her and her new eyes. The story had me glued to the tv, and it had some real good and creepy moments trough-out. And the picture and sound was a big step up aswell. This movie was (for me) a real good horror movie. And ofc, who doesnt like Jessica Alba? <3
Check it out.

My Thoughts:
While a decent movie... I really did expect more from it. It should have been a little less story driven and a little more action. Plus it felt like more of a "continuing adventures" type film then telling the legend of Tarzan. Then there is the fact that they changed Jane's whole background. Worth checking out... but there is definitely better Tarzan movies out there.

This one I enjoyed quite a bit. While the entire cast was good. The two young boys stole the show for me. Of course Chris Pratt was great too. This film has lots of great dinosaur action and even a decent laugh here and there. If you haven't had the chance to see it yet.... I recommend it.

My Thoughts:
I remember really enjoying this one back in my early teens when it first came out. I can't say it is quite as good as I remember it being. But I definitely enjoyed every minute of it. Of course I do have a soft spot for '80s horror... after all they are the movies I grew up watching.

Sure, evil children has been done to death. Some probably done better then this one. And more times then not it seems to have to do with an eclipse when the children was born. But that don't take away from the fact that this one is good. It has some creative kills (gotta love the arrow through the peephole!) and a good story.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5
