Jammed with wit, Ferris-Bueller-protagonist-as-narrator-style, and a running alternative-music subtext perfect for those of us reared on the late-70’s punk rock thingee. GREAT supporting characters, too, including John’s ever-present sister, Jack Black (whooop!), and extended cameos by Tim Robbins and Lisa Bonet. All that is mere icing on the cake of the main storyline, John Cusack’s study of the long line of girlfriends that have dumped him (at least in his mind). ’nuff spoilin!
Intense bittersweet movie about a girl who gets manipulated equally by her imprisoned mom desperate for control and the foster home environments she parades through. Great supporting characters along the way. There’s a lot of ground covered so there’s not room for too much depth, but watching Astrid strengthen while finding her confidence was inspiring.
Vince Vaughn is my man. Damn. And anything Will Farrell touches is gold. And blubber. And small red pubic hairs. Damn. (Oh, sorry, “EARMUFFS!”) Go see this movie!
Nobody else liked this, but c’mon, beautiful badass girls kicking butt on beautiful waves? I can’t get enougha that! Until I looked it up on IMDB, I was totally convinced they just recruited three surfer girls for this flick. Go ahead and believe it yourself…we are we are…
Saw the opening show of the second in the trilogy. The good stuff continues… make sure you catch Legolas get ON to this horse… I will say no more, go see it!
Had a good time watching this one – beautiful panoramic scenes filling your vision while you can feel the bass of huge spaceships with those great Star Wars sound effects move your clothing. And of course who could get bored watching a 50 foot tall Natalie Portman? Ready for the next big thing now… guess that would be the next LOTR movie…
| With Grammie visiting for the weekend, Andrea and I headed over to Charlotte on Saturday to see Mamma Mia, a musical jammed with two dozen Abba tunes. Rockin campy wild hilarious cheesy rowdy fun! We’re still not quite sure how they pulled it off, but they overlapped a great comedy with nonstop disco jams (yeah baby) and actually made it all come together. We were all jumping out of our seats by the end. To cap it off, we went to “the best vegetarian restaurant in Charlotte”, as voted by readers of Creative Loafing (flashback!), called Kelly’s Kitchen. Yum… |

You could have probably heard me groan when I first heard the premise for this movie – about two women in midlife, one who never “grew up” and one who did a 180, rejecting her wild past. But they pulled it off with style (and lots of great lines from Goldie, she rocked :> ). And with Casanova Frankenstein to boot.
