Amazing Grace

The movie equivalent of brussel sprouts - good for you, but not enjoyable at all. It was such a boring movie that I had a hard time even looking forward to the inevitable feel-good ending.

Transformers

I had such high hopes for this movie. I love a good, loud summer popcorn film. Somehow or other, I forgot that I was a girl! This movie was not for girls. It is for boys of a certain age who used to play with their toys and run over little girls' Barbies. That said, the CGI was amazing, and the plot/acting was just filler.

Get Smart - Summer 2008

I'm trying to decide. I'm hoping for fun summer movie!

Thoughts?

Is it going to be good, bad, or somewhere in between?

Will Carell be over-the-top or just right?

Will Hathaway be a great Agent 99 or not-quite?

The Ultimate Gift

This film was a little bit "all-over-the-board" as it was a little life-lesson, adventure, love story, character piece, but I liked it anyway. At times, I had no idea where "it was going." Standout acting esp. from A.Breslin.
