Deja Vu - good action flick, nice different twist to the story

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - i liked this...was bored in the beginning but when the story picked up it was funny to see the crazy situations he got himself into.

Breach - was ok...thought it'd be more action packed.

Mistress of Spices - ok...i rented this b/c it was the maker of Bend it Like Beckham which i love. I'm not a fan of Aishwariya Rai...i think she's an awful actress. Beautiful...but not a good actress by any means. Dylan McDermott looks HOT in this movie. but the storyline was sooo bizarre.

Transformers - SO GOOD! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. In the beginning it was too sci-fi for me, but gosh darn it - I really started to feel for the robots. LOL!

Josh Duhamel - HOT
Tyrese - HOT
The blue-eyed, brunette - HOT
Optimus Prime - SO COOOL!
Bubble Bee - SO SWEET!

Saw Harry Potter....not sure about this one. The story felt a little choppy, and didn't have much depth. There was not enough Sirius for me....and Dumbledore just gets harder and harder to swallow by this actor. I get that he was trying to distance himself from Harry in this book - but he just seemed so mean.

I loved the casting of Luna....and I really adore Lupin. Him grabbing Harry after Sirius' fall was heartbreaking. And Bellatrix was downright crazy looking. LOL! Great casting job there. I nearly jumped for joy when Umbridge was carted off by the Centaurs too.

Overall, the movie reminded me of how angry the book made me. Dumbledore's severe lack of communication, Harry's stubbornness, and damn it....I really hate what happened to Sirius! ARGH!

oh yeah Mary...I felt exactly the same way.

I hate this Dumbledore. I always try to revert back to the Dumbledore from the first 2 movies when I read the books. He was exactly what Dumbledore is supposed to be. Not this guy that yells at everyone. I feel no connection between he and Harry. I felt nothing in their last scene. Dumbledore weas supposed to feel SO MUCH regret for everything.

I hated the lack of Sirius. Enough said.

If you don't read the books you really do have not a clear understanding of ANYTHING that's happening.

My favorite scene in the book was between Lucius and Harry at the Ministry. It didn't follow exactly like the book, but the scene was done perfectly between the two.

oh and yeah, you definitely understand how nutty Bellatrix is..haha.

Need me some Spartan love.

I didn't see 300. Heard it was good but still wasn't sure I wanted to see it. Guess I'll have to rent it.

This weekend:

Shooter - loved it! Plenty of shirtless Mark Wahlberg scenes.

Catch and Release - cute, but glad I didn't pay to see it in the theater. Gotta love Kevin Smith.

I can't wait 'til Stardust comes out. The still images from the movie look awesome. Michelle Pfeiffer looks gorgeous. Robert DeNiro looks good. My boy from Extras, Ricky Gervais, is in it. Claire Danes looks a little weird. Charlie Cox looks wimpy (not as cute as Cary Elwes in Princess Bride, IMO). But, I can't wait. Hope it's as good as it looks.

And of course, my boy Henry has a small role. Woo Hoo!

Pretty would be one word for that scene :wink

I think I saw a trailer somewhere for Stardust. Looked pretty good. (Claire Danes usually looks a little weird imo)

Ended up buying a movie 2-pack of 300 & Alexander. Not sure if it was because I watched it after 300, but thought Alexandar was way too long with very poor fight scenes. And Colin Farrell just didn't make a convincing Alexander.
