My Thoughts:
This is one I have watched on several occassions with Dawn. It is a fun movie. I enjoyed every minute of it. The entire cast did a great job. I even liked John Lithgow as the reverend....and I normally don't care for him at all. This is one I feel comfortable recommending to everyone. Well worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
While entertaining and interesting enough to get all the way through... for the most part I found this one fairly average. And I normally enjoy biopics and such. I don't know what...if anything I would change in this film...it just wasn't keeping my attention as much as it should have. I watched this one on Amazon Prime...don't think I will be adding it to my collection.

My Thoughts:
Ugh, "most controversial movie of all time!" it says on the cover.. And i think that actually might be true on this one. I've seen alot of horror movies trough-out the years (since thats one my favorite genres) but i've never ever seen anything like this one. That was the most difficult movie to watch. Really hard to not turn it off, lot of scenes that i cant even start to describe. This is a horror movie that i'm not going to recommand you to watch, but watch the thrailer and decide yourself. Its not a horror movie i will watch again tho. And for the rating for this one, even tho there was some good horror scenes here and there, i'm not able to rate this movie actually.

My Rating:
I dont know how to rate this one actually.

Title: Pitch Perfect

Rating: Rated PG-13 : Sexual Material, Language and Drug References
Length: 112 Min.

Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy

Plot:
Arriving at her new college, Beca (Anna Kendrick) finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together. When Beca leads this a cappella singing group out of their traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of college music competitions.

Pitch Perfect is an outrageously hilarious laugh-out-loud comedy that also stars Anna Camp (The Help), Brittany Snow (Hairspray) and Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids).

My Thoughts:
This one I enjoyed quite a bit. Though I have seen better...still above average. The main thing I didn't like here is there is a little gross-out humor. Which is a type of comedy I never liked. Without that I would have rated this one higher. But I liked the story line and liked the characters. Definitely worth the time put in to watch it.

My Thoughts:
Well, i thought since the newest Bourne movie will be out in the theaters quite soon, i wanted to rewatch the Bourne movies. The Bourne franchise is one of my favorite franchises, even better than Mission Impossible IMHO. Long time since i've watched them, but still as good as they was when they first came out. Matt Damon might just be the perfect spy. Hehe. Great start to the franchise. In the first one we really get to know Jason Bourne, and we follow his mission on the way to freedom and remebering whats happening to him. Most people have seen the movies, so i wont say too much other than that the blurayset i own is a great upgrate both with sound and picture. And there is alot of cool extras too. Looking forward to rewatch the 2nd soon. Hopefully tonight. Well worth the upgrade if you dont have the bluray version yet.

My Thoughts:
Ok, i'm ready for the latest Bourne to hit the theaters! Just finished the last one. I cant decide wich of the 3 i like the most. I guess i like all 3 of them alot. I did enjoy the 4th aswell, with Jeremy Renner in the lead aswell, but its not the same without Bourne in a Bourne movie. I really enjoyed this one, ofc there isnt a dull moment trough-out. And the way the movie ended i've always enjoyed, did he die? Did he survive? Since we didnt know if we would get a new Bourne movie, its your guess. So i'm looking forward to see how they have done things after all this years. Will be great! Maby the best spy franchise behind James Bond.
Ofc highly recommanded!

My Thoughts:
This one was recommended by my daughter after she found it on Netflix. I shouldn't be surprised I enjoyed it since I liked the movie so much. I enjoyed the live stage feel of it and the cast did a fine job. Just like I did on the film... I really liked the character of the Donkey. This is one I hope to add to my collection before too long. Definitely recommended....especially if you enjoyed the film.
