2010
Thoughts on movies watched this year
  1. Sherlock Holmes (1/2 *cn): Good. Quite good.
  2. (500) Days of Summer (1/3 cn): I really liked it. Quirky and I love Zooey DesChanel.
  3. The Hangover (1/9 cn): Funny, but not as hilarious as i was expecting. Worst thing to have when starting a movie - expectations. The fat dude made me laugh the most.
  4. District 9 (1/16 cn): At first I was like - what is this crap, but it grew on me. I don't know that I would recommend it, but it was interesting and a different spin on normal alien movies. It had too many exploding bodies that squirted guts all over though.
  5. High Anxiety (1/17 cn): Mel Brooks is great. This doesn't even compete with "Blazing Saddles," but Nathan and I were both amused.
  6. My Sister's Keeper (2/2 c): I guess the books didn't stick well enough with me for me to notice some main characters missing. I think if I had not read the books though I might not have liked it as much as I did, and I actually thought the ending of the movie was WAY better than the book. Cameron Diaz was maybe not the best choice to play the mom though...
  7. Prom Night in Mississippi (2/14 cn): After the Sundance hype last year and the interesting topic of a segregated prom in the US in modern times, I thought this would be GOOD. I was disappointed.
  8. Star Trek (2/19 cn): WHY did we watch this? I didn't want to in the first place, but a lot of people said it was good, so we rented it anyway. After 30 minutes I was bored and wanted to quit. Nate rarely quits movies, so to stay with him, I brought in some projects to do while half watching. Lame.
  9. Snatch (2/21 +cn): We've seen this one a few times (Nathan more than I). I always forget how hard Brad Pitt is to understand as he play the part of a Gypsy. It's a little rough, a little rude, funny, clever and for some reason I always forget how it ends!
  10. Julie & Julia (2/26 c): This was sort of a fun movie. It was nice to not think too deeply about a plot and even though I wouldn't want to eat most of the food made, it was fun to watch Julie become a better and better cook. Zeke watched most of this with me and when they said it was raining cats and dogs, he wanted to know where the cats and dogs were. I laughed a lot about that.
  11. Inglorious Basterds (2/28 cn): Clever. Totally gross at times - enough that I had to turn away. I liked the story and I liked the uniqueness of it (and I love Brad Pitt). Nazi movies have been done a million times before, but I think never like this. Very creative.
  12. Couples Retreat (3/5 cn): I liked this. It was pretty simple, funny, and what's not to love about Vince Vaughan. It was about love and relationships, but not in the typical way and I actually liked how it made me reflect a bit on Nathan's and my relationship. And to share with you just a tiny bit - my favorite part is that we really are friend. I love that.
  13. The Invasion (3/6 cn): This is one that was sitting on the DVR and we needed something to watch. I actually liked it and even got nervous a few times (are you reading that people who think movies never make me jump?).
  14. Gentlemen Broncos (3/13 cn): This one got bad reviews, but it had Jemaine Clement (from Flight of the Conchords) in it so I didn't want to pass it by. Plus, it was made by Jared Hess who made the quirky "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Nacho Libre" movies. It was terrible and lame. Big thumbs down.
  15. The Informant (4/1 cn): Not what I thought it would be based on the previews. It was weird - well, I should say the guy Matt Damon played was just too weird. I don't really know if I liked it or not...
  16. Up in the Air (4/9 cn):
  17. The Memory Keeper's Daughter (4/10 c): It was a depressing book and a depressing movie. Not sure why I wanted to watch it.

2009
Thoughts on movies watched this year
  1. Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone (1/1/09 cn): Obviously not as good as the book, but I still liked it. Similar to the book, it was definitely way more for kids than adults. I liked most of the actor choices. It was fun to see What's-his-butt Radcliffe so young since I just think of him as how he looks in recent pictures. Looking forward to the next installments of the movie.
  2. Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets (1/7/09 cn): Daniel's getting a little older...I miss his boyish voice. This one was as good as the last, as far as a movie goes. Compared to the book, there were lots and lots of holes. I just should not compare to the book, but I don't think I can avoid it. I loved that Kenneth Branagh was in the movie. I think he is great. Again, not much to say because the story is not new. Nate wasn't overly impressed.
  3. Cleaner (1/9/09 cn): I picked this up because I overheard someone at Blockbuster tell their friend it was pretty good. I couldn't think of a different one to get, so why not? It started out interesting. I liked the hearing/seeing a little bit about how one cleans up after death. As the movie went on though, the story became more and more predictable. I would not watch it again. I wouldn't suggest that you DON'T watch it, but certainly don't put it at the top of your list.
  4. Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban (1/10/09 cn): I love the new actors that keep showing up. Emma Thompson is great and so is Gary Oldman. I liked this movie more than the first two. I don't know how much this has to do with the movies themselves vs. the fact that this is when the books start getting better and seem to be less for kids. Once again there was so much missing. I liked knowing all the extra stuff the book provides because it enhances the movie.
  5. Apocalypto (1/13/09 +cn): After going to Mexico and seeing so many Mayan ruins, Nate and I decided we wanted to see this again. the first time I watched I said I never would again. I guess that is why you "never say never." It was on one of our free premium cable channels and so we recorded it. It was watch in like 3 different sessions and I think that really helped the punch to the stomach factor of it. It is a brutal movie. Very graphic. Terribly interesting and quite beautiful, cinematically speaking. I am certain now though that I will "never" watch it again.
  6. Role Models (1/15/09 *c): I went and saw this at the dollar theatre with my old roommate/friend Joleen. I had low expectations. We just picked something neither of us had seen. I thought it was so hilarious. There was so much I figured I shouldn't be laughing about but it was just too funny. I liked all of the characters and felt bad Nate missed out on this one.
  7. Everything is Illuminated (1/16/09 cn):I remember seeing a preview for this one a few years ago. It seemed funny, but was quickly forgotten. A couple of months ago my friend Marie was recommending movies to me that they had liked. She mentioned this one and I had a renewed desire to watch it. Nathan and I both really enjoyed it. It was funny, sad, and interesting. And funny. I loved one of the main character's English translations. In fact we had to rewind a couple - wither they were too funny not to be heard again or else we had no idea what he was saying. I was going to quote my favorite line, but you actually have to hear it because written you would likely just read it as you know it, not how the Ukrainian Alex would say it. Watch this one.
  8. Spring Breakdown (1/17/09 *c): At our movie the other night Joleen said she might have a free extra ticket for a Sundance movie and wondered if I wanted to go with her. I said of course and that led us to this movie. Being a Sundance movie I'd never heard of it. It had Amy Pohler and Parker Poser and some other girl who was (is?) on Saturday Night Live. Three nerds grown up going to spring break. You can probably see what happens from there, but it was pretty funny. I hope it gets a regular theatrical release. (It was actually filmed in 2006, so it's been floating around for awhile.)
  9. Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire (1/18/09 cn): Number 4 of 8 movies - we're halfway there! They are getting better, just like the books. Nate liked this one best so far. It was weird to see "Edward Cullen" as someone else, despite me knowing before seeing "Twilight" that he was in this movie first. It was fun to see Voldermort with a face and body, although not what I pictured.
  10. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (1/20/09 cn): Alright I have loaded the DVR with movies I had a semi interest in seeing. This is the first one we've watched. There were some funny moments, it sort of made a good point, and I guess I liked it. I am completely satisfied with never seeing it again though...
  11. Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix (1/21/09 cn): It was great. I don't really know what else to add. I am excited now to see the next one in the theatre. I will say that more than any other movies, I noticed more differences from the book in this one. I kept saying out loud to Nate - that's not how it was in the book and then filling him in on the differences. I am not sure whether this was helpful/interesting or just plain annoying.
  12. Valkyrie (1/24/09 *cn): This was an interesting movie and I am going to look up more about how much really is true - it was made in Hollywood after all. I don't think I actually knew that there had been any attempts on Hitler's life. It was a little slow at times, but somehow remained suspenseful despite knowing that obviously Hitler did not get assassinated. Even though there were barely women in it, I was re-reminded how I would have loved to have lived in the 1940's. For the music, hair and clothes - not the war!
  13. High Society (1/30/09 +c): This is one of my favorite old movies. For starters, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, AND Louis Armstrong are all in it! Add a little Grace Kelly and and music by Cole Porter and you are good to go. It was fun to re-watch. 
  14. About a Boy (1/31/09 +c): I always forget how much I like this movie. When thumbing through my small collection, this one rarely jumps out at me, but every time I watch it I am glad. It actually makes me sadder to watch now that I have kids. I just remember what it felt like to be unliked in school and people being mean and horrible for no good reason. Thankfully this wasn't the case most of the time. I think it is a touching story and I need to pick up the book sometime. A great repeat.
  15. The Women (2/5 c): Great cast, achieved an amazing feat by having not a single man in the entire movie, and a few interesting moments. Generally though, a bo-ring movie! Maybe boring isn't the right word. It just was blah. I would not suggest it to you. Maybe it made a better book. It seemed like it would have.
  16. Made of Honor (2/6 c): I was not interested at all in this when it was in the theatres. Perhaps thinking it would blow (and the fact that the previous night I watched a stupid movie) made it better than it really was. All the same, I enjoyed it. It was sort of like "My Best Friend's Wedding," but with a more pleasing ending.
  17. Friends with Money (2/9 c): Another great cast. Who doesn't love Frances McDormand? It was just an interesting look at some friends, all but one having money. It gave a good display of different types of happiness and imperfection in relationships. I also really enjoyed the special features - something I try to watch after most movies - NEVER before, as to not spoil the movie.
  18. Knocked Up (2/14 c+n): I thought this was going to be bad, but I liked it and laughed quite a bit. Dumb comedy, predictable ending, but enjoyable all the same.
  19. Bridget Jones's Diary (2/18? +cn): A repeat movie for both of us that Nate didn't want to watch. But, the second one is on the "to watch" list, so I wanted to rewatch the first. Anyway, I enjoy Hugh Grant, have started liking Renee Zellweger, and what's his butt is ok too. The first time I watched te movie I wasn't all that familiar with the "Pride and Prejudice" plot, so the copying of that escaped me. However, it was quite obvious, even going so far as to name one of the main men Mr. Darcy too. Anyway, funny, looking forward to watching the second one.
  20. Pineapple Express (2/19 cn): I had low expectations and rightfully so. The movie got a few laughs from me, but it mostly felt like a waste of time.
  21. Changeling (2/23 cn): I hated this movie. That statement is misleading, but still true. It was beautiful and I loved the costumes and I loved Angelina Jolie in it. I was nervous and sad almost the entire movie. I don't know if I would have been if I wasn't a mom and 2 such sweet boys. What I hated was the story and that is was based on something real. I have this need to research the truth about movies that are "true" after I watch them. I was quite unsettled after finishing the movie knowing that she spent the rest of her life wondering if her son was alive. My research made me feel better and answered a couple of question I had about the movie. He was kidnapped not from his home or yard. She had given him money to go see amovie (which apparently in the late 20's it was no biggie to send a 9 year old out alone or have them stay home alone). The killings were done by that creepy guy and his mom! His mother actually confessed to killing Walter, but later retracted it (which they have the dude do in the movie). This to me satisfies that he truly did get murdered, even if she changed her story later. Not that I wanted the boy gone. I told Nate mid-movie that I need this to have a happy ending. It didn't really. Sure the police people that sucked were released fromtehir jobs, but from what I read, they got them back 2 years later and worked in the LAPD for many years. I need a super happy cheery movie to watch next!
  22. Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason (2/27? cn): Why did they bother making a sequel to this? It pretty much was the same movie all over again. A little funny, I guess.
  23. For Your Consideration (2/28? cn): This was not the best of the Christopher Guest movies. Perhaps watching it when both of us were tired made it less good. (Nate missed the ending entirely and I know I was watching some parts through my eyelids). I loved seeing the "regular" cast members. The story was just kind of boring, I guess.
  24. Yes Man (3/13 *cn): Funny. I liked it. I love Zooey Deschanel, Jim Carrey is almost always funny, and Murray from "Flight of the Conchords" was in it. One part of the movies was so sick, but the rest was funny, espeically the "musical" scene on the ledge.
  25. New In Town (3/20 *c): I thought this was going to be really bad since it was barely in the normal theatres. I was pleasantly surprised. Ithought it was cute and it was nice to see the "Midwest" again (even though it was actually filmed in Canada). Harry was funny and I love that he used a line in the movie from his real life.
  26. Dan In Real Life (3/21 +c): This movie only gets better each time I watch it.
  27. Australia (3/28 cn): I liked, but not loved, this movie. It was a bit too long, but it was pretty to look at and the story was interesting. I like Hugh Jackman and I like Nicole Kidman, so there were two pluses already. Add in that the director was Baz Luhrmann, who made my favorite movie, and we are good to go. I liked it more the day after watching it than right after.
  28. Blades of Glory (3/29 +cn): Nate and I tried to watch this wile we played a game of Settlers of Catan. We figured that since we'd seen it before that just sort of listening to it while we played would work out find. Nope. It is too funny to turn away from. I think this is mainly why I won the game! So funny that I am not sure why I don't own it.
  29. Evan Almighty (3/29 cn): I had heard this was dumb. And I will agree it wasn't good. While we still had free movie channels I just recorded a bunch of movies on the DVR like crazy so we could watch them at our leisure without using up a rental for it. This fit perfectly in that category. Free. This was also watched during our aforementioned game. When we looked down to play, we didn't miss much. It was ok, not bad. Too cheesy for me though.
  30. Johnny Suede (4/2 +c n) So, I watched this sometime in High school after I saw Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It. (This was made before that though.) It was a weird silly movie then. Brad's got huge hair, lives in a bare apartment, and wants to be in a band. I wanted to see it again just so that Nate could watch it (and truthfully, I kind of like the songs Brad Pitt sings in it). It is weird and sort of a waste of an hour and a half of you life - sort of.
  31. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (4/3 cn): Don't watch this. It is a waste of time and kind of gross. There were a few funny moments and a lot of great cameos, but still not worth your time. I guess I didn't realize how silly and gross it was going to be. Somehow I missed that it is sort of a parody of "Walk the Line". I know, I'm slow...
  32. Slumdog Millionaire (4/4 cn): It is always nice for me to watch the Oscar winner of the year. I knew very little about the movie and I preferred it that way. It was a sad but nice story about two brothers in India. I liked it and would defeinitely watch it again.
  33. The Bone Collector (4/5 cn): This one wasn't very good. What I did find interesting was how ungraphic it was compared to movies like it now. It is about a decade old and about a serial killer. If it were made today we would have seen the actual murders take place. It was sort of refreshing to have that removed. The movie was still sort of lame though.
  34. 300 (4/19 c +n): Has it really been that long since we watched a movie? I kind of liked this movie, but mostly I felt like I was watching a stupid version of Gladiator. That's pretty much all I have to say about it.
  35. Role Models (4/24/09 +c n): Just as funny the second time around. There were a few (not really that funny) extra scenes on the DVD. We watched the bloopers and the deleted scenes. I love bonus materials on DVDs. Anyway, Nate laughed at it too.
  36. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (5/1/09 *cn): I decided I liked this movie before I saw it, so I can't give a true opinion. Obviously Wolverine is awesome himself, so that was exciting, but I won't deny that I was more excited about Gambit. I'm not into comic books, so it wasn't all about the character, but the actor. Anyway, it was action packed, the story line was a little weak, but overall I would say that I really enjoyed it.
  37. Doubt (5/08/09 cn): I didn't know that this was a play first, but it felt like a play. There was little music and sometimes very flat scenes. That being said it was still interesting. I think that was a movie we can all relate to because when you don't kow something with certainty and concrete evidence, it is easy to "doubt" what you think you believe. Nate and I disagreed about the unsaid conclusion of the movie. Oh, and I hate Phillip Seymour Hoffman in this and all other movies!
  38. Coyote (5/09/09 cn): This is a movie that was made by some of Nate's fantasy football friends. We both liked it a lot. It had a great story, the idea was unique, and it was well put together. It is a low budget movie and you will read a lot of subtitles, but I think it is enjoyable.
  39. Milk (5/12?/09 cn): Sean Penn did a great job. The story was interesting. That's all I have to say.
  40. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (6/14/09 cn): I finally saw it! I loved and did not love this movie. It didn't feel as long to me as people kept saying it did. It was a long movie, but I loved all of it. Well, all except that the whole thing just made me sad. To truly love someone (who loves you back equally!) and know that that relationship will never pan out just right is just heart-breaking. I loved Cate Blanchett, loved Brad Pitt, and even though they never shared a scene, it was sort of fun for Julia Ormond to be in a movie with Brad Pitt again.As I watched the movie I thought a lot about "Forest Gump" and "The Notebook" and saw similar qualities to each of them.
  41. Crips and Bloods: Made in America (6/21/09 cn): This was a documentary that I saw a short preview for a few weeks ago. It looked very interesting, so we added it to the top of our Netflix queue. It was veyr interesting, sad and well put together. Nathan and I talked about it after it was over and how even though it was slightly skewed, the alteration of complete truth was good. The off-ness that I refer to is that one is in a gang because they have NO other choice. While this mainly is the case, is is not the only answer or else those former gang members in the documentary wouldn't be just that - former. But saying that misleads from what I actually felt when I was done watching the movie. I think it is sad that gangs even exist. I wish that the boys growing up in South Central could easily find a better way of life - or at least as easy as the general population has it. And I wish that disjointed and fatherless familes were not so common place. I often feel so blessed that my kids have a dad. Not just for my sanity, but because they need our differences. Anyway, I would really recommend this one, but wait until the kids are in bed for sure!
  42. The Jane Austen Book Club (6/?/09 c): I started this a couple of months ago and was only watching it when I exercised. I guess that means I don't exercise enough. And I finished it up by lazily sitting on the couch. I enjoyed the movie and have read most of the books, but I think really knowing the stories better would have been nice. They do a pretty good job in the movie matching up each character from the books to one of the modern times women and the problems they are having.
  43. Stardust (6/27/09 cn): I really like this movie. It was cute, full of adventure and reminded me a little of The Princess Bride. The cast was great and the highlight for Nate was Robert DeNiro. Very fun.
  44. Vince Vaughan's Wild West Comedy Show (6/28/09 cn): Very funny. Vince Vaughan by himself is hilarious, but this movie was more about a team of comedians he put together for a show across the US. Each had their own style, but all of them made me laugh most of the time.
  45. Up (6/29/09 cn*): We watched this one at the drive-in. the short movie before it was totally great and we really like the main feature as well. I think the atmosphere of the drive-in, plus the boys being so excited made it more enjoyable. I have like pretty much all of Pixar's movies. They seemed to have figured out a good formula and the movies are always so visually facsinating to watch.
  46. The Proposal (6/29/09 cn*): This was the double feature at the drive-in. It was a pretty standard romantic comedy. I like Sandra Bullock so that made me enjoy the movie a little more. We both laughed out loud a couple of times, other than that it was just pretty basic.
  47. Glory (7/3/09 c+ n): It has been solong since I have seen this. It is a favorite of both my brother and my brother-in-law. It was a good patriotic movie to watch on the eve of the 4th of July. The story is great and with a cast like Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, and Morgan Freeman it is hard to go wrong.
  48. The Tale of Despereaux (7/06/09 cn): This was for the kids. Alexander called the rat in the story "that Mickey Mouse" which made both Nate and I laugh. The kids liked it and I thought it was OK. I think the ideas were a little to complex for our young audience. This one will not be put on the "to watch again" list.
  49. Schindler's List (7/11/09 c n+) Can you believe I have never seen this before now? I was afraid it was going to be a depressing story about the Holocaust, but it turned out to be a story of hope. I was actually surprised that it was shown in its entirety in schools because of all the nudity. I guess it was a realistic look at how things really were and that was the point, but still...very naked. I am glad to have seen it now and especially liked the end where the actual survivors visited Schindler's actual grave.
  50. Nights in Rodanthe (7/17/09 c): This movie was TERRIBLE! My sisters both warned me it was bad, but I honestly just wanted to watch it because I have been to Rodanthe. Interestingly, the move was in theatres while I was there. They made the area look a lot more unpopulated and backwards than it was in rea life. The movie was just awful. I read the book years ago and have no idea what I thought of it. I imagine it was more believable than the movie. Nothing worked. The story was terrible, the connection never fit and the end was just a drag. Awful, awful waste of time.
  51. Penelope (7/29/09 c): Cute, very cute. A friend recommended this so I put it in my queue. Months later after some girls were talking about it at book club I moved it to the top. They boys even enjoyed it, but it was too long and not kiddy enough for them. I really liked it.
  52. Gran Torino (8/10/09 cn): I laughed at a lot of things I shouldn't have when watching this. Maybe not so much what was said, but that someone (even a character in a movie) would actually utter those things. I loved how grumpy Clint Eastwood's character was. I would say I liked the movie, but the transition was not believable enough for me and came to easily/quickly. This is is the type of story I imagine would be a better book so you could go a little deeper into the character's thought.
  53. American Beauty (8/11/09 cn): Weird movie. I guess when it came out it made quite the splash, but it didn't seen that revolutionary to me. Perhaps it shaped movies I have seen that came out more recently, which in turn made the pioneer quality virtually disappear. I had seen pieces of this when I worked at the movie theatre and it was nice to put the whole thing together. Did I like it? Um, I don't know. Everyone was just so bizarre, which I think was sort of the point. All of us are weird. Nate noticed that in the movie that the characters had someone who both loved and hated them. I guess that is true to life as well.
  54. Time Traveler's Wife( c*): Rachel McAdams is adorable. I wanted to like this movie, but I just couldn't make it work for me. The logical side of me just couldn't wrap around the whole time traveling thing and make it make sense.
  55. Newsies (8/30/09 c): Best left to a 14 year old girl I think. I am surprised I made it though, despite being a fan of musicals. And it was mildly entertaining to see Christian Bale dance and sing, as wells as the guy who was in "Big."
  56. Into the Wild (10/5/09 cn): My brother-in-law told me to NOT watch this movie, but to read the book several months ago. My memory was that the book and movie were both good. Not so about the movie. The guy who played Chris McCandless/Alexander Supertramp bugger the crap out of Nate and me. We were not sympathetic to the main character because he was ill prepared and completely at fault of his own demise. He was not a nice person and had his head way too far into the clouds.
  57. The Royal Tenenbaums (10/09 +c n) So much funnier this time around. I'm not sure why. Maybe because we hasn't seen as many Wes Anderson movies before. I used to think this was kind of lame, but not anymore. Funny, funny. All the characters are so great.
  58. The Return of Spinal Tap (10/22/09 cn): Disappointing. I didn't realize it was mainly concert footage and not really a part 2 to the hilarious original movie.
  59. I'm Not There (10/25/09 cn): Kind of weird, kind of likable. The best "Bob Dylan" was by far Cate Blanchett.
  60. Disturbia (10/31/09 cn):This was our Halloween movie - just one that had been sitting on in the DVR waiting to be watched. I would say the first two-thirds of it were blah and I liked the end. That main actor guy Shia Lebeuf or something was annoying. Not the best choice for a "scary" Halloween movie.
  61. Paranormal Activity (11/1/09 cn): This was to make up for the non-scary movie the previous night. We watched the original (Sundance) version of this at our house. I couldn't get past the main characters. I wasn't scared except I did just on one little part. It was a clever idea and I can see how one might be scared, but I was disappointed that I wasn't at all.
  62. Bigger, Stronger, Faster (11/4/09 cn): Interesting documentray on steroids. It made me have a new light to look at them in that I was ignorant to before. What I liked abotu this is that unlike a lot of documentaries, it really seemed like they took a good look from both sides, not just pushing you to believe one way like so many do.
  63. Taxi Driver (11/9/09 cn): Robert DeNiro was a handsome man. Not as handsome here as he was in the old Godfather movie, but it still was weird to see him so young. The movie was quite intersting ang not nerely as intense as I always though it would be. I liked it.
  64. Bottle Shock (11/09 cn): Not sure why I rented this. I think Netflix recommended it. Blah. Boring, lame, annoying main character.
