MOVIE REVIEW: Spaceballs

3/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

1987 PG 96 minutes

In this spoof of the Star Wars trilogy, nefarious Dark Helmet hatches a plan to snatch Princess Vespa and steal her planet's air. Space bum Lone Starr and his clueless sidekick fly to the rescue, with help from Yogurt and the power of "The Schwartz."

 

My thoughts:

 

First I want to say I was tricked!! My husband did not warn me that this was a Star Wars spoof movie! I had no clue lol, and the cover of ours doesn't even look like this! Anyway, not a bad movie, if you're into that sort of thing. Me, I thought it was wierd.

5/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says about it:

1984 PG 107 minutes

This special edition of the movie that shot Kevin Bacon to the stratosphere of fame features the actor playing Ren McCormack, a decidedly urban teen who's transplanted to a small Midwestern town where dancing is outlawed. Recruiting his best pal, the quiet Willard (Chris Penn), and his girlfriend (Lori Singer), a clergyman's daughter, Ren starts a revolution by moving to the beat. Includes commentaries, footage from the musical and more.

 

My thoughts:

 

Great movie! Especially if you like musical/dance type movies. I am a b ig fan of movies like this & even though it took me 28 years to watch it, it didn't let me down!

Another funny romantic movie from Katherine Heigl. She's really a good actress, love her work!! And the movie itself was great!!! Gerard Butler looked pretty cute too!! 

FAVORITES: Food

My favorite food:

I love food, it's my thing. I can cook some really good meals. My kids have their favorites too. My 14 year old daughter LOVES chicken nuggets, nachos and cheese & tator tot casserole, while my 11 (almost 12) year old son loves hamburgers, calzones & tacos.

My favorite however is almost everyone's favorite: PIZZA!!! I have preferences too!! When I make homemade pizza, I love pepperoni & sausage, extra cheese. I even have different preferences when we order in too. My favorite is Papa John's Meat pizza :) If I can't afford it, I get plain sausage ~ they have the best ever!! I like Sausage & pepperoni or bacon from Dominoe's with garlic or marinara to dip the crust! Sometimes I get the pizza hoagie or pepperoni roll too! I am obsessed with it!! Not a good thing when my husband is a chef & he makes pizza everyday!!

What's your favorite food?

MOVIE REVIEW: 27 Dresses

5/5

2007 PG -13 105 minutes

Tired of being a perpetual bridesmaid after helping 27 friends tie the knot, altruistic Jane (Katherine Heigl) finds herself facing her worst nightmare as her younger sister (Malin Akerman) announces her engagement to the man Jane secretly adores. But when Jane meets the charming Kevin (James Marsden), will she beat her sibling to the altar? Edward Burns and Judy Greer also star in this breezy romantic comedy from director Anne Fletcher.

 

Here are my thoughts:

 

Such a cute movie!! Kinda like always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Such crazy weddings they came up with too!! Katherine Heigl is cute as the bridesmaid who does everything for everyone!! Cute chick flick!!

MOVIE REVIEW: One True Thing

 5/5

 

 

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

 

1998 R 128 minutes

When a tough New Yorker (Renée Zellweger) learns her mother (Meryl Streep, in an Oscar-nominated performance) has cancer, she quits her job, breaks up with her boyfriend and moves back in with her parents to help out. But she inadvertently uncovers several family secrets, including one about her philandering father (William Hurt). Carl Franklin directs this tear-jerking adaptation of Anna Quindlen's novel of the same name.

Cast:

William Hurt, Meryl Streep, Renée Zellweger, Tom Everett Scott, Lauren Graham, Nicky Katt

 

 

My thoughts:

 

Great movie, it shows the sacrifice some make for their family. It also shows how not everything is what it seems, it shows that just because we think something isn't right, doesn't mean that it doesn't work for some. It also shows how someone can do what is selfless for the ones they love. Sad movie, real tear jerker!! 

BOOK REVIEW: A Long Time to Hate

5/5

 

This book didn't have any description on Amazon, so here's mine:

 

California didn't have very strict laws, Life in Prison meant 7 1/2 years for the killer/rapist in this book. He killed a young man, 18 years old & brutally attacked & raped two girls with him. The girls testified against him, he got life in prison & got out after he served the years he had. He went back to where he'd killed them, after those who'd helped put him away. After killing a man for his car, raping & killing another woman, viciously attacking & almost killed a young man, locking an elderly man in a basement, he made it back to the original town. He then killed the judge & his wife, narrowly missed an elderly juror & kidnapped one of the women he originally raped, the other woman's son & a neighbor. All this during a flash flood in the town.

 

My thoughts:

 

Great book!! Easy to read, you can literally go through chapters in a short time. The book itself showed how corupt the justice system is & how it allowed for criminals to be released to exact revenge!! Even though it's an older book, it was really good!!

MOVIE REVIEW: Music & Lyrics

5/5

 

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

 

2007 PG-13 104 minutes

Has-been pop star Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) gets the comeback chance of a lifetime when teen singing sensation Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) asks him to write a song and record the duet with her. Of course, Alex can't refuse, but he also can't write lyrics to save his life. So he's relieved when quirky writer Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) agrees to help him out -- and pleasantly surprised when their working relationship spawns solid gold.

Cast:

Hugh Grant, Drew Barrymore, Brad Garrett, Campbell Scott, Billy Griffith, Kristen Johnston, Scott Porter, Zak Orth, Brooke Tansley, Haley Bennett, Matthew Morrison

 

My thoughts:

 

What a great movie for music lovers!! It really showed a kinda behind the scenes of what music & song writers do, plus threw in a love story too :) 

FAVORITES: COLOR

I have two favorite colors:

Yellow ~ Thanks to my Gram. When I was a little girl, my Gram was my best friend. She is my mom's mom and she was always there for me. She taught me to save, she taught me to be a friend and a confident. She taught me to be a strong & independant woman too. Because of her love for the color yellow, I always loved it. Now, when I see something yellow, it reminds me of her. Epecially when I see sunshine on a beautiful day!

Blue ~ It's my favorite, mostly because my friends & I created the Blue Team about five years ago. It all began as a joke, because at our job (Wendy's), we all had blue shirts. One night we all wore blue & they jokingly called us the Blue Team. We began to always wear those blue shirts. Because of that color, I gained two of the best friends ever.

Those are my favoites!! What are yours?

MOVIE REVIEW: The Ballad of Jack & Rose

1/5

 

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

 

2005 R 112 minutes

Writer-director Rebecca Miller elicits an astounding performance from husband Daniel Day-Lewis, who plays Jack, a father intent on raising his daughter (Camilla Belle) as an environmentally responsible adult. His complete devotion to the cause moves him to the remotest of islands, where he feels he'll be able to lead a more compassionate, "green" life. No matter how he tries, however, he can't seem to run from the demands of human interaction.

 

 

My thoughts:

 

I did not like this movie at all. First off, I thought the movie was about a couple, Jack & Rose. However, it's about a father, Jack & his daughter, Rose. It was really wierd & creepy for me. I didn't like the way it hinted at a sexual or creepy, odd emotional relationship. It was really too odd for me.

MOVIE REVIEW: Children of the Corn II & III

Here's a 2 part movie review: Children of the Corn, Parts II & III


Children of the Corn II ~ 4/5

Here's what www.hotmoviesale.com says:

A newsman and his son snoop around a Nebraska town where children kill many adults.

My thoughts:

First of all, my nephew is named after the first Children of the Corn, his name is Malakhi. My brother & his girlfriend welcomed their fourth child together, another son. He tried to talk her into the name Mordechi. She did not name her son that, his name is Myles. All I could think throughout the movie was thankfully my brother did not name his child!! Back to the movie, it was pretty good. I liked it, not as good as the first one, but it never is!!


Children of the Corn III ~ 3/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

After Eli (Daniel Cerny) kills his father, he and his brother, Joshua (Ron Melendez), leave rural Nebraska behind when they're taken in by a Chicago couple. Joshua easily adapts to his new home, but Eli brings his special brand of evil to the city.

My thoughts:
I didn't really like the way they moved it to the city. I liked the movie itself, just not the settings. It wasn't the same as when it's in the corn fields.

BOOK REVIEW: All I Want to Do Is Kill!

All I want to do is kill ~ 4/5

 

Here's what www.amazon.com says:

Release Date: October 1, 2007 | Series: Pinnacle True Crime

Teenage Lesbian Lovers...Holly Harvey was a Barbie doll beauty. Sandy Ketchum a dark, troubled soul. Fueled by sex, drugs, and obsession, they swore that nothing would ever tear them apart. Even if it meant killing anyone who got in their way...With A Shopping List...A good and decent couple, Holly Harvey's grandparents Carl and Sarah Collier wanted Holly to stop getting high and seeing Sandy. When the teenagers struck, it was with a depraved savagery few investigators had ever seen before. Dozens of deep, bloody stab wounds were found on each body. The Colliers fought for their lives - but never had a chance against their granddaughter's rage.For Murder...Soaked in blood, Holly and Sandy took off in the Colliers' truck. When police arrested them, Holly had a to-do list written in pen on her arm: "Kill, keys, money, jewelry." The girls' lawyers battled furiously for an acquittal. Then it was up to a jury to decide: What price would they finally pay for their love, their rage - and their evil?

 

My thoughts:

 

I really enjoyed the writing of the book, it was long, but very detailed. It shared alot of what the girls did before they committed the crime that really truly changed their lives. It was a true crime, which is a subject I love to read about it. I was disappointed to learn that the book ended not in a trial, but a plea agreement for both defendants. Other than the ending, I was impressed with the details & such of the book.

My wish for 2013....

I have begun 2013 wishing for many things in my life........

1. I want a better me! I've decided to swap my 20 oz. Mountain Dews for Diet Coke. I still love my Dew, I just want to be in better shape & health for my family. I chose to start with soda because I drink entirely too much of it!

2. A stronger relationship with my husband. We'll be married for 13 years in 2013, it's time to get our relationship back on track! More time together, plans for the future (we had so many, but somewhere along the way, we quit planning), time alone. I want to start daing my husband again!!

3. Help my children build a better future. I want to start adding more to their savings & to also teach them more about being independant & responsible. I have great kids, they don't need much improvement!!

4. I want to be more organized! Since I have an at home job, I can do it!! I want everything to have a place & to know where anything I need is, when I need it!

5. Stronger family relationships! I want my family to get together more often, spend more time together. I have 2 sisters & 2 brothers. I am super close to one brother, although he is currently incarcerated. The other 3, I am distanced with most of the time. I want the childhood closeness back that we used to have before we became "grown ups"!

6. FRIENDS NIGHTS! My bff's & I decided over New Year's, we want to hang out more! We used to hang out & play cards almost every night, we worked together, so it was much easier! Now, as we enter 2013, we've been bff's for about 6 years! We've decided to spend atleast 1 night per month as a card night! And I can't wait!! :)

So, this year, 2013, I have huge plans! I know you all have too :) Share them if you wanna..........

MOVIE REVIEW: Freedom Writers

Freedom Writers: 5/5

 

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

While her at-risk students are reading classics such as "The Diary of Anne Frank," a young teacher asks them to keep journals about their troubled lives -- hoping they can apply history's lessons to break the cycle of violence and despair.

My thoughts:
I just LOVED this movie!! I can't believe it took me 5 years to watch it!! I really enjoyed the diversity & all the real life issues some kids face in different areas of the United States. Gangs are real, poverty is real, the afflictions were real! Hilary Swank was amazing as the teacher, it makes you appreciate the real teachers out there who really go above & beyond for their kids to learn. A really wonderful teacher gets a second and third job to buy the supplies she needs to teach her kids. I am truly inspired by this movie!

MOVIE REVIEW: Angels Fall

Angels Fall ~ 4/5

 

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

 

Angels Fall

2007NR95 minutes

After escaping a horrific tragedy, Boston chef Reece Gilmore (Heather Locklear) wants to start a new life, so when her car breaks down in a small Wyoming town, she decides to stay put. But she soon witnesses a mysterious murder, and the locals doubt her story. As she begins to wonder if her accumulated traumas are driving her crazy, Reece turns to writer Brody (Johnathon Schaech) for support. This dynamic thriller is based on Nora Roberts's novel.

Cast:

Gary Hudson, Heather Locklear, Lisa Marie Caruk, Johnathon Schaech, Len Crowther, Derek Hamilton, Pete Seadon, Shannon Tuer

 

My thoughts:

 

Pretty good movie, the thrill & suspense was just what I needed when I watched this. Heather Locklear is convincing as the victim, she really played this roll well. Although, a bit predictable, I knew who the killer was part way in!! 

BOOK REVIEW: Driven to Murder

Driven to Murder ~ 4/5

 

Here's what www.amazon.com says:

 

Release Date: January 1, 2008

TV journalist Sam Donaldson hired Paul Posey as the new manager for his sprawling New Mexico ranch. Paul and his family settled into their new life. Then, in July 2004 Donaldson was stunned to discover that his ranch had become a blood soaked crime scene. The bullet-ripped bodies of Paul, his wife, and stepdaughter were found buries in a pile of manure. Paul's fourteen year old son Cody was soon in custody. But the shocking revelations had only just begun...The Posey's appeared to be like any other ordinary American family. But did their carefully constructed veneer hide a dysfunctional family with dark secrets? Cody claimed he had suffered years of relentless physical and psychological abuse at the hands of relentless physical and psychological abuse at the hands of his father, step-mother, and his step-sister...Witnesses at the trial included Sam Donaldson, as well as neighbours who supported Cody's claims and others who disputed them. Was Cody a cold blooded killer - or separate the lies from the truth - and decide a teenager's fate...

 

My thoughts:

 

A good book, with alot of information about the crime. It's a sad world where kids kill their family, people kill other people, children die in such terrible tragedy. I don't know the truth, you don't know the truth, this book opened my mind to that. God knows, He always knows & he will deal with us when that time comes. This book was very interesting, it showed two different sides to this family. Recommended if you like true crime!

BOOK REVIEW: BLOOD BATH

Blood Bath ~ 4/5

 

Here's what www.amazon.com says:

 

They Knew He Was Out There

He took his time. He watched his victims and chose carefully. Then he struck--each attack more brutal than the last. By the time detectives arrived, all they found were gruesome crime scenes of bloodied, brutalized bodies. . .
They Knew He Would Strike Again

For more than ten years in South Louisiana the killings went on. Task forces were formed. The killer even spent time in jail. But that wouldn't stop the bloodshed. One victim was stabbed with a screwdriver 83 times. . .
But They Couldn't Stop Him--Until Was Too Late

He was a father. A husband. A co-worker. And a killer. Derrick Todd Lee was ultimately convicted of two savage murders and tied to at least seven more. From the slender trace of DNA that finally nabbed him to the courageous prosecutors who took him down in court, this is the shocking story of a homicidal maniac hiding in plain sight--and an evil that could never be washed away. . .
Includes 16 pages of shocking photographs

 

 

Here are my thoughts:

 

I enjoyed the book overall, it shared alot of detail & crime information. It opened my eyes to how some people can be. It really showed how crimes are linked and how things changed over years. I liked that it offered information and links to other crimes he committed. I enjoy the extra chapter outlining just what he'd done.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Soft Scrub Total With GIVEAWAY!!

Hello friends, I was asked to try a pretty wonderful product a few weeks ago, Soft Scrub Total! Purex Insider's sent me a package with one bottle of Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Cleaner with Bleach & Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl. Each product comes in a spary bottle that allows you to change the nozzle from spritz to foam spray. Love that feature!!

First we tried the Total Bath & Bowl. Our house is a home day care, I run it, averaging 6-10 kids per day. So, you know even with two toilets, it's hard to keep it clean! I waited until I was ready for bed and I sprayed the toilet down. My husband works an hour from home, so he cleaned it when he got home. His first reaction was "WOW! That was easy!" My first reaction the next morning was "Amazing! It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOO clean!"

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl!

Next, we tried the Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Cleaner with Bleach on a spot of mold on the refridgerator. Then we used it on the floor where something had been spilled. The All Purpose Cleaner with Bleach worked workers!

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it too!!

Now that I've tried it, I want to help YOU try it!!

I have three coupons that I'd love to give to three lucky readers!!

First, comment on this post, tell me what you USUALLY use to clean your bathroom!

Next, Tell your friends, for every friend that comments, you'll get 1 extra entry!!

Finally, Wait til November 25th to find out the winners!!

My thoughts:

 

Good book, true to the story & well written. I enjoy crime stories, so this one was something I am very interested in. What a horrible thing for anyone to go through!

BOOK REVIEW: Stolen Life

Stolen Life ~ 5/5

Here's what www.amazon.com says:

Book Description

Release Date: July 12, 2011

When Jaycee Dugard was eleven years old, she was abducted from a school bus stop within sight of her home in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was missing for more than eighteen years, held captive by Phillip Craig and Nancy Garrido, and gave birth to two daughters during her imprisonment. On August 26, 2009, Garrido showed up for a meeting with his parole officer; he brought Jaycee, her daughters, and his wife Nancy with him. Their unusual behavior raised suspicions and an investigation revealed the tent behind the Garridos’ home where Jaycee had been living for nearly two decades.

A Stolen Life was written by Jaycee herself and covers the period from the time of her abduction in 1991 up until the present. In her stark, compelling narrative, she opens up about what she experienced—and offers an extraordinary account of courage and resilience.

   

My thoughts:

 

I was saddened by the ordeal Jaycee had to go through. Her captors holding her so long she began to feel safe only with them, depend upon them & want them. How sick of a person does that to a child? I pray that Jaycee can one day live a wonderful, full life & be as carefree as she was the day he stole her life! I hope he's rotting in prison & never sees sunlight again! How horrid!! I pray she & her little girls can live a good life & people give them their privacy.

MOVIE REVIEW: Dolls

Dolls ~ 3/5



Here's what www.netflix.com says:

A charming doll collection turns into an unstoppable army of killers in this terrifying tale. When circumstances force a nervous salesman, two pathetic punkers, an obnoxious couple and their daughter to stay with an elderly couple who make and collect dolls, everything seems fine at first. But come nightfall, the dolls decide to get rid of their new houseguests…permanently. Stephen Lee, Guy Rolfe, Hilary Mason and Ian Patrick Williams star.


My thoughts:

This movie was 80's all over!! Not only was it creepy, but you could tell the special effects weren't digital. The movie made little sense & was kinda odd. We watched it all the way through though, it is worth a shot if you like old 80's horror flicks.

BOOK REVIEW: Where Are The Children?

Where are the Children? ~ 5/5

Here's what www.amazon.com says:

Book Description

Release Date: June 28, 2005

Nancy Harmon long ago fled the heartbreak of her first marriage, the macabre deaths of her two little children, and the shocking charges against her. She changed her name, dyed her hair, and left California for the windswept peace of Cape Cod. Now remarried, she has two more beloved children, and the terrible pain has begun to heal -- until the morning when she looks in the backyard for her little boy and girl and finds only one red mitten. She knows that the nightmare is beginning again....

My thoughts:

 

What a wonderful book! I really like Mary Higgins Clark's work. She keeps you guessing & you have to keep looking for the right version. Sometimes you think you've guessed it, then she throws in a new loop. Especially who's the real killer isn't really even in the story! I would read any of her work!! 

TV REVIEW: Skins (US)

Skins (U.S.) ~ 3/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

  2011 TV-MA 10 episodes


Adapted from a British series of the same name, this provocative teen drama depicts the complicated lives of a mixed group of Baltimore high schoolers with frank language, frequent drug use and partial nudity.

My thoughts:   First of all, I know the actors/actresses were underage, but what they did was nothing outside of what really goes on some places. It's the same as Teen Mom, 16 & Pregnant, Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, etc.... The only thing different is this show is FAKE, it's a STORYLINE!! I didn't think it was anywhere as bad as the reality junk that's on tv today!

MOVIE REVIEW: Bad Teacher

Bad Teacher ~ 5/5

Here's what www.netflix.com says:

 2011 UR 92 minutes


Cameron Diaz stars as Elizabeth Halsey, a scheming and coarse-tongued middle school teacher who gets dumped by her wealthy boyfriend and rebounds by sinking her claws into a handsome substitute teacher (Justin Timberlake).

  My thoughts:   Funny movie!! I thought they had some good funny stuff in there & I also thought it was a clever storyline. Cameron Diaz played the bad girl perfectly! Justin Timberlake was hilarious as the nerdy substitute! We would watch this again!
