Another Day, Another Movie

****"Baby Mama" rated PG-13. Jeff and I both really liked this one. The comedic timing was great and we laughed alot! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler from Saturday night live are so great together! It also had Greg Kinear, Dax Shepard, and a small but funny role for Sigourney Weaver. Tina Fey wants a baby so bad and hasn't been able to get pregnant so hires Amy to be a surrogate mother. It's kind of like those wife swap tv shows where they get the absolute most opposite people possible to switch places for a week or two. The upper class and white trash worlds collide and have to inter-mingle and that's what's so funny. It reminded me of the odd couple trying to live together. It's hilarious and not too risque' so I think you will enjoy it! We both give it 3 1/2 diamonds.





****"Forbidden Kingdom" rated PG-13. Jet Lee, Jackie Chan and some kid who could be Shila Lebouf's brother star in this kung foo fable. Bryce and I liked it more than we thought we would. It's entertaining and fun, sometimes kind of weird, (the 'Monkey King') but seeing Lee and Chan fighting each other is quite a treat. I'm giving it 2 1/2 diamonds.






****"Deception" rated R. Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman (yum) and Michelle Williams, (The mother of Heath Ledgers daughter) star in this one about money, greed, and a sex club. It was interesting, intense and clever, though risque' because of the subject matter. But it could have been worse, again, because of the subject matter, so, it was pretty good. Jeff and I give it 2 1/2 diamonds.






*****"Made of Honor" rated PG-13. How could you not enjoy watching Patrick Dempsey for over an hour and a half? What can I say about it? It was fun, entertaining, and funny. I'm trying to decide if it was kind of predictable? Maybe, but who cares? I will definitely be seeing it again! Jeff is giving it 2 diamonds! Duh! That's lame. I guess he didn't like that Dempsey was a man whore and then decides he wants her after she found true love. I'm giving it 3. ...and a smiley face :)





****"Iron Man" rated PG-13. This is an AWESOME movie!!! I loved it! I can't wait to see it again! Robert Downey Jr. was great and so was his assistant, Gwyneth Paltrow, although her part didn't seem that big. It was funny and touching and makes you want to stand up and cheer! It made me feel triumphant! It didn't have anything bad in it, maybe it's rated PG-13 because of the war weapons and small war scenes but it wasn't bad at all, I think kids 8 and older will like it. Oh wait, scratch that! I forgot about the scene when he brought the girl home. It wasn't too bad, but I guess that's why it's PG-13. Anyway, I highly recommend it! Jeff and I both give it 4 diamonds!

I totally agree. Ken and I were very pleasantly surprised with the movie. It was the first movie we've seen in months and we really enjoyed it, although Jeff Bridges is my heartthrop and he looked a bit strange!

Another high five from the Nielsen's. I would actually pay to see this movie again. It had a good story line and it restored my faith that hollywood could produce a movie worth watching.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I've been married to Jeff - the love of my life, for almost 21 years. I'm the mother of four beautiful and amazing kids. Brandon is 19, Elise is 17, Erika is 14 and Bryce is 11. I love to spend time with my family, go to movies, play games, go to movies, go out to eat and go to movies. I love diet cherry coke, music, especially soft rock and religious music. I hate grumpy people, bad service and other people's hands in bags of potato chips. I love to go on Cruises...Oh, and I really love to go to movies!
