Last Vegas is a comedy about best friends celebrating their last single friend's plunge into marriage with an epic bachelor party. The four best friends, who have been friends since childhood have shared many memories over the years, and this memory will be one of the best yet. This movie defines what a true friendship looks like. With an all star cast, this movie lives up to the hype and will keep the audience laughing, and coming back for more.

 I give this movie five stars and highly recommend it. I would go back and see it again and again. The movie is a great message for all ages. So, go and see it!

Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

Recently I went and saw Star Trek: Into Darkness. This is a great movie that, as a sequel really lives up to the hype. The movie starts off where the last one ended. Since these movies are prequels to the original Star Trek movies, it really does a great job of telling a great back story of how the characters got to where they were in the older movies.

This movie is full of amazing scenes of action and does not have a dull moment, keeps the audience coming back for more. The movie starts out with captain Kirk, who has a bit of an issue with authority, running on an alien planet with a very sacred piece of information. How Kirk continues to get himself into these messes no one knows, but he always finds a way out. He and Mr. Sulu have gotten themselves into a real mess. As they both continue to run they jump into the water and swim to their ship where Dr. Spock is waiting for instruction and decides to go a head with the plan to help stop the Volcano from erupting and destroying an ancient civilization who has not yet invented the wheel.

As Dr. Spock figures out a way to save a civilization it is not with out risk. Dr. Spock is headed into a life or death situation and being half human and half Vulcan he does not think and make choices the way humans do. James Kirk who is someone who really thinks with his heart and follows his heart in all situations gets his crew in a real mess.

As they return to Earth Kirk is reprimanded for his actions. It is here that he finds out a truth that no one else has thought of and many lives are at stake. To find out more you will have to see the movie.

I rate his movie 5 stars because it was beautifully made great sequel. The acting is amazing and the use of CGI is the top its game. So be sure to see this movie ASAP.

Movie Review: Man Of Steel

Recently I went and saw the new Superman movie, Man Of Steel. I loved this movie. The movie was a totally new idea on an old story. This movie goes back and takes a different perspective on an American icon. Man Of Steel is full of new ideas on how and why Clark Kent came to Earth. In this newest version his home planet, Kripton, was doomed and his parents sent him along with their hopes and dreams for the future of their planet to Earth, a planet that was similar to Kripton but did not have the same issues in sustaining life that Kripton had.

Clark Kent continues his life as a human with extra abilities that he feels he has to hide from those around him in order to survive. Then, one day Louis Lane comes across Clark Kent and witness' him doing things that no other person is able to do. So, as an investigative journalist she is out to find the truth about Clark Kent, who he is and where he is from. To find out more you will have to watch this amazing new twist of the old American Story of Superman.

I rate this movie 5 stars. The action and CGI graphics are amazing. As I watched the movie, I could really see all the hard work and dedication that not only the actors, but the crew worked on to make this amazing new twist on an old tale become so believable.

Movie Review From Time to Time

If you are a fan of Julian Fellow's Downton Abbey, then From Time to Time is the movie for you. Several of the Downton Abbey cast members are also in this movie. Time to Time, is set at the end of World War II. A young boy is sent to live with his grandmother, where with the help from ghosts, his grandmother and the servants he is able to solve a family mystery. 

As I watched this movie I could not help but see parallels between the characters of Downton Abbey, and the characters in this movie. The plot is interesting and engages the viewer, who is following and learning as Tully learns and is able to solve the family mystery. This movie has some great twists and turns throughout the movie. I give this movie 5 stars and invite you to find it today and check it out for yourself.

movie- The Help

Last night I went with a friend to see the movie The Help. It was really cool since I had just finished reading the book. I felt that the movie was amazing and everyone should see it. There were a few differences between the book and the movie, but not many. So I rate this movie 5 out of 5 stars, so go ahead and see it. I must note, that my friend and I went a bit before the movie started and had to sit on the second row of the theater, so we were one with the movie. It was very popular with men and women.

The movie starts off with Skeeter interviewing Aibilean the maid of a friend of hers. Then, the movie back tracks a bit to where Skeeter got the idea to write a book from the point of view of the help in 1960's Mississippi. The movie follows around, Skeeter, Aibilean, Minny, Mss. Celia, Mrs. Lefote, and Mrs. HIlly Holbrock. We follow these characters and hear the stories from the help's point of view about there employers. This book and movie really makes you see how far our country has come in 50 years. The movie is funny, and sad and has some great lines. So, before I give more away go and see it for yourself.

movie review

Yesterday, my best friend K was in town. She does not live that far, but it is always so much fun to see her and catch up. So, yesterday we got to catch up and go see a movie and have dinner. We went and saw Something Borrowed. I read the book, K did not read the book and we both enjoyed the movie. To me I already knew what was going to happen next but enjoyed seeing it play out on the big screen. I thought it was very close to the book, only minor things that were different. So, here is my review

In the movie Something Borrowed, it follows two life long best friends, Rachel and Darcy. Rachel is a big time lawyer who met Dex in law school. The movie opens on Rachel's 30th birthday we a surprise party put on by Darcy. At the party you are introduced to Ethan a childhood friend of Darcy and Rachel. They all three grew up together. Darcy leaves the party a bit early because she was a bit over served. So, Dex takes her back home only to end up coming back to get her purse that Darcy left behind. As he is returning he runs into Ethan and Rachel leaving for the night. Rachel decides to help Dex find Darcy's purse, this is where it gets interesting. Then Dex and Rachel decide to get another drink and the next morning they wake up together. Rachel sees that Darcy has called her several times as well as Dex. So, they have to figure out a cover story. The movie is highly entertaining and fun to watch. I highly recommend this movie. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars :) So, go see it and enjoy an interesting story line that is fun to watch.

Movie Review

Tonight, B and I went to see the movie Bridesmaids. I was so happy that he went with me to see it. He also, thought it was soooo funny. The two SNL cast members were so funny and did a great job. So, here is my movie review for Bridesmaids.

The movie was very funny. It follows to life long best friends, as one of them is getting married and the other's life is not quite together. Annie and Lillian have been life long best friends, and when Lillian gets engaged Annie is one of the first to know. Lillian asks Annie to be her maid of honor in her upcoming wedding. Annie goes to the first part celebrating Lillian and Doug and meets the other fellow bridesmaids. They are: Whitney, Lillian's new friend and Doug's co-workers wife, Rita, Becca, and Megan, who is Doug's sister. Together, they take a wild and crazy ride to Lillian's wedding day. After the bridesmaids all meet they, along with Lillian go out to have lunch before picking out bridesmaids dresses. At this time, Annie brings up ideas for hosting a party for Lillian as well as the bachelorette party. This movie is great for everyone to see. It has something in it for everyone. The movie is very funny, as well as tells a great story of best friends. It is very true to life and the strong hold of best friends. So, please go and see this movie, I know you will love it! I give this movie five stars.

One of my favorite parts of this movie other than the comedy was the story line of the two best friends. It adds humor to a real life situation among girl friends.  So many times girls will see their best friends get married and all the feelings that go with that. Also, it is a bit of a love story too. So, enjoy.

Movie review

A while back, B and I saw the Lincolin Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey. I highly recommend this movie.I give it 5 stars out of 5. I really enjoyed this movie, and think you will too. It has lots of action and very well written. It does not seem to go on forever and does keep the audience interested with many twists and turns. 


Here is my short summery. In this movie he plays a lawyer who offices out of his car. He represents clients who are often very colorful and interesting. He is hired by a client who is well to do and not the normal cliental that he has. This client believes he is innocent and did not commit the crime he was being charged with. He did not want to use his families attorney because he felt he was too close to his family, so he went with someone else. So, I highly recommend seeing this great movie. It has someone for everyone and a great story as well. The movie has a good pace and keeps the audience engaged in the movie and not want to leave. Also, the camera angles are different than most movies and it feels as if you are actually there with the characters. So, I know you will enjoy this movie. It is not one to take the kids to, but one the adults will enjoy.

Movie review

With today being another snow day, I rented a movie on Direct TV. I watched Life as we Know It today. It was a great movie and I would recommend this movie. In this movie there are two single friends, who end up having to raise their best friends baby. This movie shows the ups and downs of life. I really enjoyed the movie because it seems to be so true of life. In this movie the message was that life as you know it can change and all it takes is one minute. It can change for the worst or the best. In this movie the two single people with their own lives are thrust into a different life in just one minute. They learned that life can take you different places and in the end everything will work out for the best. The two single people were thrown together and forced to live together and learned how to become a family. This movie does a great job of showing how a child can and does change your life and the life you knew before is forever changed.
