Movie Review - was on Monday

Having issues creating new posts at home - reposting from another computer. Want to keep all my posts together so I'm re-posting this...

Something is wrong with Blogger.com so I'm going straight to writing a note for this review. Ron and I saw 3 movies over the weekend - The Men Who Stare at Goats, Imagine That and The Taking of Pelham 123. I wanted to see "The Men Who Stare at Goats" because it looked clever and funny, but once again, most of the good, funny stuff was given away in the previews. It's a weird, quirky little movie and I think it's a good thing that George Clooney is so good looking - it makes it a little easier to forgive him when he makes a movie like this one. Well, that and the fact that most of his movies are usually pretty intelligent. I don't know...I don't think I recommend this movie at all - even when it comes out on DVD.

On Saturday we spent most of the day in our pj's but we still saw a couple of movies on pay per view. First we saw "Imagine That" with Eddie Murphy and the cutest little actress named Yara Shahidi. What ever happened to Eddie Murphy anyway? I guess this movie would be good for little 6 & 7 year old girls - no one else would have been able to sit through this movie in the theater. Skip it.

Finally, we watched "The Taking of Pelham 123" with John Travolta as the bad guy and Denzel Washington as the good guy. I liked it! I kept trying to get Ron to see this one while it was in the theaters, but for some reason he just wasn't interested. He liked it, though. John Travolta is excellent at playing a bad guy - remember "Face Off" ? Loved it. So, there's some shooting and blood, but if you put your hands over your eyes it's over before you know it.

Can't wait to see "2012" this week!
