MOVIE REVIEW ~ 7 SECONDS

7 Seconds ~ 2/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:
7 Seconds (2005) R
When veteran stickup man John Tuliver (Wesley Snipes) inadvertently makes off with a priceless Van Gogh during an armored-car robbery, his partner, Kelly Anders (Tamzin Outhwaite), pays the price for Tuliver's miscue when she's abducted by mobsters in pursuit of the painting. The vicious Russian thugs force Tuliver to attempt a dicey rescue operation in this explosive, direct-to-video thriller directed by Simon Fellows.

My thoughts:
Alot of action in this movie! I liked that part. However, I did not like the way the storyline seemed to jump around so much, I couldn't figure most of the movie out.

Can't wait for New Teen Mom, Season 2!!

I can't wait to start watching this show:

http://www.mtv.com/shows/teen_mom_2/season_1/series.jhtml

I'm looking forward to all the moms, although Leah is my favorite cuz she's from West Virginia too :) Janelle will be this season's troublemaker I think!! Who do you all look forward to seeing?

TV SHOW REVIEW: THE CHALLENGE CUTTHROAT

Last week was the Finale episode of The Challenge Cutthroat.

Before I go on to give my thoughts, here's what www.mtv.com says it is:

This season, thirty fan favorites will head to the mysterious city of Prague in the Czech Republic to compete in a bold new Challenge: Cutthroat, where players will discover an exciting new game, filled with twists and surprises. For the first time ever, there will be three teams, chosen by the players themselves. These three teams will battle each other in nine extreme challenges, leading up to a massive and grueling finale. With over $500,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs, the Challengers will need to stay true to the name of the game and get cutthroat to secure their share of the prize! With a whopping thirty players competing, not everyone will make it to the end to vie for the riches. After each challenge, one man and one woman from each losing team will be sent into the "Gulag," a one-on-one battle arena that will test players' mental and physical capacities. Only the strong will survive and proudly return to the game to compete. The weak will leave with nothing. Staying out of the hellish "Gulag" means achieving victory in the challenges. After each challenge, the winning team will be safe from "The Gulag" and bank $20,000 to be shared amongst their final players. These lucky winners will have the pleasure of dining on an elegant feast, while the two losing teams will each be forced to send one male and one female player from their own ranks into "The Gulag." And in one of the biggest shockers of the game, players will enter a shadowy dungeon to cast a secret vote. Lies will be told and hearts will be broken, as these Challengers realize the powerful impact of a secret vote. Once the dust clears and the votes have been cast, the man and woman on each team with the most votes against them will be sentenced to "The Gulag." But these embattled players aren't out of the game just yet. The men will clash in their "Gulag" competition -- and so will the women. The winners will come right back to the very team that just voted against them and the losers will be sent straight home. With over a half a million dollars in cash and prizes on the line, players will push themselves -- and each other -- past their breaking points. This is the most exciting group of players in years and anything is possible: friendships will be tested, romances will blossom, rivalries will emerge, and blood will be shed. And the greatest shock of all will occur in a jaw-dropping, mid-season twist that is too big to even hint at! These Challengers are in for the fight of their lives in order to win it all and be crowned champions of Cutthroat!

Now on to my thoughts:
I really loved this season! For one they were split up into three teams: Red, Grey & Blue. Anyone who knows me, knows I am loyal to the Blue team (former job fun lol)!! I roouted for them, down to the last two ~ which I must say, Jenn & Emily did awesome!! WTG girls!! The final challenge for the grand prize was insane!! WTG Red for winning, although in the last Gulag Paula got screwed by her team, espeically Dunbar!! Wow!! I must say though, Red team played the game right!! I hated seeing Brad & Tori win, but they worked hard in the final to get it!! Couldn't believe two members of the Grey team went to the hospital!! I think if Blue would have made better choices in the beginning, they could have dominated the other teams. Big Easy was a BEAST!! Laurel was right, Cara Maria skated by on Abram, not fair, but part of the game!! I can't wait for the next show, I'd love to see Johnny Bananas, Wes & Derrick back!!

New Tradition @ Our House!!

So, this year, we have started a new family tradition :) Every year, we watched the movie The Christmas Story! Yes, the one where he's gonna shoot his eye out! One year my husband got me the movie, then last year, he got me the board game!! How fun!! This year, we sat down, my husband, kids & myself & had dinner. When dinner was over, we tasted some Christmas goodies, then we popped in the movie & played the game! It was a tradition in my parents home to watch the 24 hours of A Christmas Story on TBS every year on Christmas eve. Now, my own little family will set up a day each season to play the game!! I can't wait for next years!

MOVIE REVIEW: THE BOUNTY HUNTER

THE BOUNTY HUNTER ~ 4/5

Here's what www.netflix.com had to say:

The Bounty Hunter (2010) PG-13
Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) is a bounty hunter whose latest gig is rather satisfying, as he finds out that the bail-skipper he must chase down is his own ex-wife, Nicole (Jennifer Aniston) -- but she has no intention of getting nabbed without a fight. Complicating matters, Nicole's wannabe-boyfriend, Stewart (Jason Sudeikis), joins the chase in this high-octane comedy from director Andy Tennant (Hitch).

My thoughts:

First off, just gotta say, Gerard Butler is HOT!!! Now, my thoughts lol, I really thought this was cute action/romantic comedy. Jennifer & =Gerard had some chemistry, they both kept us interested. Although some parts were kind of predictable. I enjoyed it & would watch it again!

Tis the Season :)

Tonight we headed out into the blistering cold to ring bells for The Salvation Army. We spent 3 hours of our time, giving back to the community & to the church. It was an amazing feeling :) I smiled like crazy, couldn't believe so many people were willing to put a dollar or two into the kettle. One little boy asked his dad for money to put into the kettle, but the dad kept telling him no, but that little boy was very determined, he asked over & over!! Another little boy was upset because his dad gave his older sister all his change to put in. The poor little guy!! Luckily, one quarter had not made it into the bucket, so I was able to let him put it in :) It really made his day!! One lady came back to put money in & thanked us for saying Merry Christmas & not Happy Holidays!! Even those my toes about froze off & my knees hurt afterward, I all in all had a wonderful time. The girls in my group are amazing, I love thier positive upbeat selves :) And, I'm glad I could spend a few hours tonight giving back to the church that helps me so often :)

This holiday season, give something back, even if it's just a few pennys left after you pay for your grocerys or a new toy, help make a needy child's Christmas this holiday season!! It doesn't have to be to The Salvation Army, although that's the one I hope you'll choose :), but there are other places out there who have great intentions too :) Even volunteering a few hours of your time to stand out & ring a bell does a world of goodness :)

MOVIE REVIEW ~ DREAD

DREAD ~ 3/5

What www.netflix.com says:

Dread Clive Barker's Dread (2009) R
Assisted by two naïve classmates, duplicitous Quaid (Shaun Evans) conducts a devious research project examining students' innermost fears. Once armed with data, Quaid methodically torments his hapless subjects, taking full advantage of their weaknesses. Adapted from a short story by Clive Barker, writer-director Anthony DiBlasi's horror movie offers a potent mixture of heart-pounding thrills and extreme violence. Jackson Rathbone co-stars.

What I thought:

I thought this movie started off very slow, not a very good horror movie. Even when it gets to the end, the drama isn't very good. I wouldn't watch it again.

MOVIE REVIEW ~ FOUR BROTHERS

FOUR BROTHERS ~ 5/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

Four Brothers(2005) R
John Singleton directs Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Garrett Hedlund and André "3000" Benjamin as Bobby, Angel, Jack and Jeremiah Mercer, four tight-knit brothers who look nothing alike but who know the true meaning of family. Returning home for their adoptive mother's funeral, the grieving siblings learn she may actually have been murdered. Resolving revenge, they band together to make sure the killer pays.

What I thought:

Pretty good movie, I'd watch it again. Good storyline, good fight scenes, great shoot outs. All around good movie!!

MOVIE REVIEW: Funny People

Funny People ~ 2/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:
Funny People 2009 UR
Famous and wealthy funnyman George Simmons (Adam Sandler) doesn't give much thought to how he treats people until a doctor (Torsten Voges) delivers stunning health news, forcing George to reevaluate his priorities with a little help from aspiring stand-up comic Ira (Seth Rogen). Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) writes and directs this moving comedy that also stars Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman and Aubrey Plaza.

My thoughts:
When I saw that Adam Sandler was in this movie, I thought oh great, a good comedy. When I actually sat down & watched the movie, I thought it was dull & boring. Same old jokes, nothing too hilarious, not even enough to keep me awake!! I fell asleep part way through this movie!!

MOVIE REVIEW: Why Did I Get Married?

Why Did I Get Married? ~ 4/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

Why Did I Get Married?
2007 PG-13 118 minutes
In this big-screen adaptation of Tyler Perry's stage hit, eight married college friends gather for a weeklong reunion in the snowy mountains of Colorado. But a startling revelation of infidelity sets off a chain reaction of soul searching. Perry, who also directs, stars alongside Malik Yoba, Sharon Leal, Michael Jai White, Denise Boutte, Lamman Rucker and pop songstresses Janet Jackson and Jill Scott.

My thoughts:

I really enjoyed this movie although my husband thought it was more of a soul searching, evaluate your life type movie. I felt that it threw comedy together with good friendship, lots of the every day problems we all face & the importance of working things out when we get in over our heads. To trust the person we wanted to spend the rest of our life with, to call a friend when you need advice or have a problem. When you get down to the bottom of the barrel & the final over the edge happens & it's over, you see how one person really benefitted from the break up when they wanted the relationship, while the other gets what they thought they wanted & they realize it isn't as good as what they already had. I can't wait to see part 2!!
