Sophie & Sheba (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1414374/?ref_=sr_1

This is a film that shows friendship between a girl and her elephant (Sheba). The girl grew up with the elephant and when her parents had to sale it to the circus to help pay for their zoo. Sophie joins the circus to keep an eye on Sheba and help get her out of there. I feel the relationship between Sophie and Blake grew to quickly and it felt freak to me. If they added a few more days in the film I think that would have helped and when Magnus had his change of heart that came to quick as well.

Total Recall (2012)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386703/?ref_=sr_1

I did not want to watch this movie, but my fiancĂ© was watching it and I got sucked into it. I did not think that I would like it or that it was interesting but once I started watching it I realized that it was a good movie. It was not what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be another SYFY space movie that dealt with aliens. Instead it was more like "Demolition Man", but with the main character trying to find out the true of who he is like in "The Bourne Identity"

Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735898/?ref_=sr_1

I enjoy this spin on the children's tale. I liked how Snow White was shown as a strong woman and the being a female you can fight and win your battle. This kept my interest through the film. I know that there will be a sequel and I do not know how that would tie in with the original Disney movie. I hope the sequel does not kill the film.

Curtains (1983)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085385/?ref_=sr_2

This film could have been better. I did not get how a dancer and a ice skater got involved for the audition. The doll to me just did not make much sense. I know it was done in the 1980s but still. I have seen many films from that time period and they were done a lot better and not all the film was A-rated movies. I do not recommend this film.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324216/?ref_=sr_2

This is the first time I have seen any of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's. I enjoy films that were based on true events. I think they are more interesting then documentaries. I am not going to lie, there are a few good documentaries out there. In this film when Jessica Biel's character was in the truck did she not realize what direction they were going when she got in the truck? Now, she would have been turned around but you would think that she would have recognized he surrounding area. In the end when she ran the "Sheriff" over I was thinking, "Where is the baby?" I am surprise that the baby was not strapped down.

That's My Boy (2012)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1232200/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

The beginning part to me was distasteful. I an sure they could have done it better. It was a good movie don't get me wrong and the idea was good but some parts I thought they could have done better. I guess I had high exemptions for the movie.

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345836/

I am not a fan of the new Batman movies. I like the older ones. With this one I was not crazy about what was going on in the movie. I feel that there is a lot going on in the newer films. The ending did seem better and now I feel that the next film will be better but I do not know why it took three films to really get my interest.

Easy A (2010)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1282140/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

I like how Olive was helping the "nerdy" boys out. In life it would not have lasted that long. Usually in a week it becomes yesterdays news unless it is a catholic school. Marianne I think dress a little slutty for a good catholic. In some outfits it seemed that her skirt was a little short and should have know better there to act the way she did and spread the rumors. And her boyfriend being 20 and still in high school and her being underage she should have know better unless they would dating since before he was 18. It is a cute movie but I feel I will not watch it again unless I am bored and channel surfing.

The Canterville Ghost (1996)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115820/?ref_=sr_2

This is not like the original The Canterville Ghost from 1944. It does have the base of the story in the new version but I think it would have been better if they kept more to the original film. There are a few version of this movie and in each one there is something different in them. I like how they did make it more up to date do not get me wrong. I still like the original one.
