Summer Movies

It's been a while since I posted but that doesn't mean I hadn't gone to any new movies. What can I say, I LOVE movies and just can't get enough. There have been a lot of good movies lately. Here are the ones I have seen up tell now:

I was paid to go to this movie!!! Seriously, we went for my work summer party, and we got paid! It was awesome. When I first heard we were going to see this movie, I wasn't entirely sure how I would like it. Jake Gyllenhall is hot and all, but I just couldn't get past the gay movie he did, "Broke Back Mountain." At the beginning his character does this jump in slow motion as he pulls out his swords, and I was just like, "oh great. So this is what I'm in for." However, as the story went on, I ended up liking him and thinking he did a good job. I didn't LOVE the ending, but overall it was a good action movie!

I give this movie 3 stars!

It's been a while since I've seen this movie, so I've kind of forgotten certain details of it. But I remember definitely liking it. It was a good action movie, but I think I liked the first one a little more.
I give it 3 stars!

I had heard that this movie was good before I watched it, so my expectations of it were a little high, which can sometimes work against me. I knew it was going to be a little weird, but that was almost expected. I think Johnny Depp did a great job at being the mad hatter, but the story just wasn't strong enough for me. I felt like it was just skimming the top, and then ended all of a sudden. I didn't really like it.
I give it 1 1/2 stars!


I watched this movie at a girls night party at my parents house. It was a lot of fun. It's about a girl who decides she is going to purpose to her long time boyfriend on Leap Year while he is in Scotland for business. I guess it is a tradition in Scotland for women to purpose on that day. She travels out there to meet with him, but fate takes her on a different course where she meets "Declan," a Scottish man. I know... we all know where this is going right? It was a cute story, but I felt like I couldn't believe these two characters could fall in love. There was just something missing...
I give it 2 1/2 stars!


What can I say? Weren't we all waiting for this movie to come out?! I'm a sucker for Toy Story and I just knew I would love this one too. The story was so creative and it makes you laugh out loud. Ken was personally my favorite! :) Some of you already know, and have even made fun of me for it, but I totally cried at this movie. GO SEE IT!! It's good.
I give it 4 stars!


Want to know something pathetic? I've seen this movie 4 times in theater already. Lol. LOVE IT!!! I think the Twilight movies are getting better as they go, so for those of you who can't stand the cheesiness, don't give up on them yet. This one is really good!! And Edward is super cute! :) I can't wait to see this with my little sister when she gets back from her mission.
I give it 3 1/2 stars!


Okay, this movie was soooo good! It's action packed and twists your brain in all sorts of ways that you'll be thinking about it even days after seeing it. I thought the plot was so creative! At first when I saw Joseph Gordan- Levitt (from 500 days of summer) and Ellen Page (from Juno) in this movie with Leonardo Dicaprio, I was a little nervous because these two seem kind of young in their acting career compared to Leo. But they both did a great job, and I believe they are becoming rising stars.
I give this movie 4 totally awesome stars!!!

And last, but not least, I just recently saw this movie at my house and loved it! It is based on a true story of Queen Victoria who took the throne at age 18 years old! She was the first Queen to live in Buckingham palace, and it shows her through her trails and triumphs of being a young ruler. The love story is really cute, but I wouldn't really consider this movie a chick flick. The only thing that was hard for me to follow was the history and the intentions of certain people. But try not to worry so much about the people and just pay attention to the story and the relationships within. This is a good movie for guys, girls, and even the family, because it's only PG and it's currently at Red Box! SO, GO GET IT NOW WHILE IT'S CHEAP!
I give this movie 3 stars!

So there you have it. All the movies I've seen so far for the summer. Hopefully that gives you a little insight on what you want to see, or what your willing to pay for.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
