Death still isn't satisfied in the fifth installment of this cult horror franchise, setting out to claim the lives of shaken co-workers who cheated him when they heeded a colleague's premonition about an unstable suspension bridge.
My thoughts:
Great movie!! It does all the things the 1st ones did, great death scenes, good storyline. I also love that they tied it all together wonderfully!!
In this chilling horror movie, Melissa and Jack -- once an ordinary couple -- watch in shock as their son slowly morphs into a hellish harbinger of the Apocalypse, set to engulf the Earth on the devil-boy's own birthday, 11/11/11.
My thoughts:
The people were acting crazy from the moment this couple came to the neighborhood. If you saw them acting that way, being the way they were & trying to get your kid to go off with them, I'm sure you would pack up and move instantly!! How any parent could have stayed there is beyond me!! Man, if I were in a horror movie, I think I may survive lol
Expecting a fun bachelorette party, bride-to-be Kathleen (Marissa Tait) and her bridesmaids head to a tropical beach location. But their trip turns into an utter nightmare after they're robbed and left injured in the middle of nowhere. Soon, they find an abandoned resort, where an evil force begins to exert its deadly influence over them. America Olivo, Arianne Zuker, Sita Young and Paulie Rojas also star in this terrifying chiller.
My thoughts:
First off, who goes to Mexico for a week for a bachelorette party? My husband never would have agreed to that when we were engaged!! Second, once you get there, who decides to get into a van with blacked out license plates and dark tinted windows??? Just dumb & you deserve the fate you got!! Just saying!! Anyway, the movie was typical slasher film, kind of confusing at the end though!
In this captivating Depression-era melodrama, impetuous veterinary student Jacob Jankowski joins a celebrated circus as an animal caretaker but faces a wrenching dilemma when he's transfixed by angelic married performer Marlena.
My thoughts:
Loved the era look, it made Reese Witherspoon more beautiful than ever!! Robert Pattison's character Jacob is exactly what it should be, he wants to help, but his power isn't strong enough. However, he's defiant enough & they have great compatibility!! Enjoyed this movie!!
When teenager Nathan comes across his own childhood picture while scrolling through a missing persons website, he begins to question everything he ever took for granted -- including the people he always assumed were his parents.
My thoughts:
This movie was really good! It kept you on the edge of your seat wondering who dd what & who's really who. It left me in suspense because it never revealed his father's true identity. I loved that the ending was at a Pittsburgh Pirates Game too!!
Evil lurks in the mind of a hospitalized amnesiac who's forced to take a volatile drug that causes him to suffer grisly visions of young women being killed. But when he escapes the institution and meets a troubled teenage boy, his memory starts to return. Will his visions lead them both to salvation or to destruction? Shawn Pyfrom, Reed Diamond, Julian Berlin and Lucy Lawless star in this chilling tale of vision, memory and violence.
My thoughts:
This movie started off 15 years before, then shows a man in a mental hospital. He's going to undergo a medication that will make him remember his past. He escapes, meets a young kid (played by the same person who plays Bree's son Andrew on Desperate Housewives) and begins piecing his past back together. The ending was a little surprising, but I realized itjust before the surprise was revealed. It turned out to be pretty good, more than I expected it to be.
When the 243-year-old Mr. Magorium (Dustin Hoffman) discovers his health is failing, he turns over his fantastical toy store to his manager, Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman), a talented pianist and aspiring composer who isn't sure she's ready to take the reins. Since the store reflects the energy of those who run it, Molly must work to lift her spirits and help the shop recapture its magic. Jason Bateman co-stars.
My thoughts:
This was a very cute movie with a sweet & sentimental story amidst all the chaos & fun of the store. My only question is the age of the children viewing it. My ten year old was fast asleep within a half hour, my husband wasn't able to keep his eyes open. My thirteen year old & I enjoyed it alot. It has a great story & inspires you to go for things you never thought possible and you can become anything! Loved this movie!!
, it works wonders on deep stains!! 
The day before Halloween 2004 was the last day on Earth for respected, well-liked college professor Fred Jablin. That morning, a neighbor discovered his body lying in a pool of blood in the driveway of Jablin's Virginia home. Police immediately turned their attentions to the victim's ex-wife, Piper, a petite, pretty Texas lawyer who had lost a bitter custody battle and would do anything to get her kids back. But Piper was in Houston, one thousand miles away, at the time of the slaying and couldn't possibly have been the killer . . . could she?
So began an investigation into one of the most bizarre cases Virginia and Texas law enforcement agencies had ever encountered: a twisted conspiracy of lies, rage, paranoia, manipulation, and savage murder that would ensnare an entire family—including two lethally close look-alike sisters—and reveal the shocking depravities possible when a dangerously disordered mind slips into madness.
My thoughts:
If you're a fan of true crime stories, this is one to read. Piper Jablin was a scorned woman who didn't get her way, so she resorted to cold blooded murder. She did a terrible job of trying to hide that it was her & she almost got her sister sent to prison. I was intrigued & couldn't put the book down!! Must read!!
So much love. It was impossible to ignore in 2011, with 10 country artists saying "I do" everywhere from Las Vegas to Connecticut, Tennessee to Texas and Antigua to Puerto Rico. There were first marriages, second marriages, a same-sex marriage and even a few same-genre marriages. Most were small, intimate affairs, but one was a star-studded event, full of day-after stories and tweets and full media coverage.
The most-publicized wedding of the year took place May 14 when Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton tied the knot near San Antonio. The ceremony and reception took place at the 125-acre Don Strange Ranch. The couple exchanged vows on a cowhide rug under an arch made of antlers in a lantern-lit barn. She wore her mother's wedding dress and Casadei cowboy boots.
The groom was styled by Trish Townsend (who is also Carrie Underwood's stylist) and wore an Ermenegildo Zegna suit jacket and vest, a Sartori tie, Wrangler jeans and a pair of Lucchese boots that Neal McCoy gave him. Shelton's groomsmen wore Scully Western jackets, Joseph Abboud shirts, Wrangler jeans and Old Gringo boots they received from the groom himself.
McCoy was the official wedding singer, although I think everyone there took a turn at the microphone.
But Lambert and Shelton are just two of the country artists who are celebrating the holidays for the first time as husband and wife this year. And here they are, in chronological order:
Shania Twain/Frédéric Thiébaud: There were only 40 guests at the sunset ceremony when Twain married the businessman in Rincón, Puerto Rico, on Jan. 1. Thiébaud was attired in a black shirt and white suit. Twain wore a white dress with a black sash that she found in a small boutique in Lausanne, Switzerland, plus Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and Calvin Klein shoes. Her son Eja walked her down the aisle.
Kellie Pickler/Kyle Jacobs: The former American Idol finalist married songwriter Kyle Jacobs in Antigua on Jan. 1. Who was there when they eloped to the West Indies? Well, let's see. There was Pickler. Jacobs. The minister. And God. How's that for an intimate ceremony? It was exactly the kind of wedding the couple said they wanted. (Beverly Hills-based celeb wedding photographer Joe Buissink was there, too. But, still, it sounds very, very intimate.)
LeAnn Rimes/Eddie Cibrian: The singer and actor exchanged vows on April 22 in Malibu, Calif. She wore a Reem Acra gown, and he wore a Ermenegildo Zegna tuxedo-like outfit. The wedding took the 35 guests by surprise when they arrived at the private California estate with the understanding they were attending a more routine social event. Once there, they watched Rimes and Cibrian exchange vows.
Chely Wright/Lauren Blitzer: The singer-songwriter, best known for her No. 1 hit, "Single White Female," married the social activist on Aug. 20 in Connecticut. The brides wore long wedding gowns by J. Crew Bridal. The two women didn't wear veils because they reportedly like their hair too much. They were married by a rabbi and a reverend in front of 200 guests at Blitzer's aunt's private home. Connecticut is one of the first states to allow and recognize same-sex marriages.
Randy Houser/Jessa Lee Yantz: The singer-songwriters embarked on their most significant collaboration on Sept. 2 in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Only 20 family members and close friends were there, and the couple were married by their close friend Rob Hatch in a sunset ceremony. They wrote their own vows and sang an a cappella version of Lulu Belle & Scotty's country classic "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" at the ceremony.
Sunny Sweeney/Jeff Hellmer: The Texas-born singer-songwriter married law enforcement officer Jeff Hellmer on Nov. 11 in Las Vegas. The couple and a small group of friends went to the Vegas institution -- A Little White Chapel -- to say their vows. But this was not an impulse decision fueled by a night of gambling and drinking. Sweeney had even talked quietly about their impending marriage a few days earlier when she was at the Big Machine Records party following the CMA Awards in Nashville. The couple reportedly wrote their own vows, with Hellmer crafting his from some well-known country lyrics.
Jessica Andrews/Marcel Chagnon: Andrews married singer-songwriter Marcel (who goes professionally by his first name only) on Nov. 11. The couple kept the wedding private, and not too many details were revealed. The two songwriters make their home in Nashville.
Jennifer Nettles/Justin Miller: The Sugarland vocalist married entrepreneur Justin Miller in Tennessee's Smoky Mountains on Nov. 26. She wore an Alexander McQueen gown for the sunset ceremony at a chapel in the mountain's foothills. (Miller is the one in bed in Sugarland's 2006 single "Want To.") The wedding was small, without a huge celebrity and/or media presence. But Nettle's Sugarland partner Kristian Bush was definitely there.
After a sleazy Las Vegas magician (Jeremy Piven) agrees to testify against the mob, he embarks on one last hurrah in Lake Tahoe before entering protective custody. But can just one FBI agent (Ryan Reynolds) keep him safe from a slew of would-be assassins? Andy Garcia, Ray Liotta, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman and Alicia Keys co-star in this raucous cavalcade of con men, bad guys and bounty hunters.
My thoughts:
It was an okay movie. I couldn't get too much into it, was a little confused by the storyline. Seems like way too many people involved for an assassination. Worth watching once tho!
When honors
My thoughts:
She's a bright girl, who uses her smarts for evil. The men are easily brought into the picture because as always men think with their head between the legs! The movie was pretty much a waste of time, no real plot to it. I didn't like it.
Hired by a millionaire collector (Udo Kier) to retrieve the infamous Le Fin du Monde -- a violent movie that reportedly causes viewers to turn into homicidal maniacs after they watch it -- an unsuspecting theater owner (Norman Reedus) begins to fall under the film's spell. John Carpenter directs this unsettling installment of the "Masters of Horror" series, following one man's search for the holy grail of horror cinema.
My thoughts:
This movie was difficult to follow at first. There was a creature chained up and an old movie collector requesting an old film for $2oo,ooo. It was good offer for the guy, but everything seemed mashed together & nothing made sense until the end. Then the ending was surprising and brutal. It was worth watching once.
Years after a
My thoughts:
It was typical 80's campy horror movie. People were killed at typical points: trying to get away, sneaking off to have sex, running off alone. It was predictable, but still had it's own story line. If you like 80's horror slasher movies, check this out. It's atleast a decent flick with a little comedy. Enjoy Jason Alexander when he was much younger and had alot more hair!!
A group of programmers is heading to an
My thoughts:
Good movie, it just has a repeat plot. Like so many other slasher films, they go out into the middle of nowhere. A small group, they run into many signs to turn back and ignore them. Then they run into a crazy, deformed family who wants their girls to breed & their men dead. Good story, just over played. Need new ideas. Slasher fans, it's worth a shot!!
