Movie description from yahoo movies:

When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.

So today's movie review is more like a discussion between myself and Isabel. We both got a chance to see this movie and we're both in awe of Ryan Reynolds in all his shirtless glory. LOL

Isabel: So… what did you think of the movie? I thought it was cute and funny. When I saw commercials, I knew I'd netflix it. But what made me go and watch in theater was my MIL describing a shirtless Ryan Reynolds. LOL.

Ames: OMG shirtless Ryan Reynolds totally made this movie for me.

But yeah, he also appears shirtless a few times. And with the towel on....oh my!!

I was going to wait to rent this too because romcoms lately have been really disappointing - but this was really smart and cute.

Isabel: What was your favorite besides the shirtless part?? Oh and by the way, Sandra Bullock looks like she had a nice little body going on. Damn. lol. I'm jealous.

Anyways... other than the shirt part, my favorite scene was probably when she's dancing in the woods with grandma and singing that rap song. ha ha.

Ames: LMAO that part was hilarious! I think had tears coming out of my eyes at that part.

I liked any little scene with Ramone. He's on my show the Office so it was good to see him doing something else that was freaking hilarious. Ramone!!

I got a little thrill in my heart when Ryan goes to New York to get Sandra and he's like 'imagine my surprise when I find myself wifeless' and i was look, here's a man who knows what he wants. I like when he got a bit forceful there.

And every scene where he made her do something for herself, how he kept her on her toes in his natural environment. I liked that.

I also like that the comedy derives from a fish out of water situation - not let's make the lady do something totally embarassing and demeaning (shopaholic, he's just not that into you). Like I said, this was a smart movie.

Isabel: Ramone was funny! I liked how he just kept popping up. lol. waiter, shop keeper, stripper and minister. Ha ha. Funny.

Oh yeah when he said he found himself wifeless... sigh. I'll be your wife Ryan! ha ha. I like in the beginning when he said the latte was like Christmas in a cup. Lmao. Also how everyone in the office would im each other to warn everyone she was coming. Sounds like something we would do at work .

What else did I like… Oh I liked how they didn't try to have the ex step in between Sandra and Ryan. Like when she comes into his room to talk with him.

Ames: Oh yeah! I was just waiting for that cliche to happen. LOL

I loved Gammy - she was just too cute!

And Christmas in a cup - that was just brilliant.

Ryan Reynolds humor is the kind of humor I like - it's sharp.

Isabel: Oh and how they kept throwing the baby maker far away from them. Too funny.

Gammy was funny and cute. I thought for sure the wedding dress would be altered to something contemporary. I liked they kept it the same.

Yeah I just watched him in Just Friends and that movie is funny too. I didn't care for him in waiting.

Was there anything in the movie you didn't like?

Ames: The puppy was cute too! And when the eagle grabbed the puppy? LOL And the baby-maker was its own damn character. Like when Gammy comes into the room at one point and said, “Let’s give the baby-maker a rest tonight.” haha

Ok what I didn’t like- I felt like we didn't see enough of a relationship develop between Ryan and Sandra's characters. It's like she fell in love with him and everyone attached to him - not just him alone. Do you know what I mean? What about you?

Isabel: Oh yeah. I was like… no they are not going to hurt that puppy!!!!

Yeah it was kind of fast they fell in love. I mean... I know there is love at first sight. But how do you go from hating your boss and then loving them just like that. I could understand... caring about that person, liking them. But...i don't know.

Sandra's character.... yeah... now that you mention it, it is like she fell in love with his family. Also... I expected a little more with the ex girlfriend. Not with her trying to come between them. But more of a… i don't know... It's like they threw her in there.

Ames: She was kind of random, the ex-girlfriend.

But yeah, that was the only thing that didn't work for me - just how fast it came together.

Isabel: Yeah I think they could have done without the ex girlfriend. Anything else we forgot to mention?

Ames: I don't think so.

Isabel: so what grade would you give this movie?

Ames: B- you?

Isabel: A B. The shirtless scene. :)

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schrieber, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Kitsch, Will.I.Am. and a bunch of other people.
Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence and some partial nudity.
Grade: A

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" tells the story of Wolverine's epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

I took my teenager kids to watch this movie and holy wow this movie was off the chains good. I hadn't been to a movie since The Race to Witch Mountain (I think) and this movie blew that movie out of the water. I wasn't a big X Men fan of the cartoons, I watched them because my brother watched them but I wasn't wild about them the way that I'm wild about the movies. I just think they're so frickin' cool. I don't think I've seen any X Men movie that I haven't absolutely loved and this movie was no exception. This movie rocked my socks and I want to watch this movie again.

It was so good to see where Logan came from and to see all of the puzzle pieces of how Wolverine came to be brought to life. It was ah-maz-ing!

But as much as I loved Wolverine, my favorite part of this movie is hands down:

This guy is super sexy in Friday Night Lights but in Wolverine...YUMMA! I mean, look at this picture? How sexy is he? As Riggins or as Gambit, Taylor Kitsch is HAWT and he was a welcome addition to the X Men cast. LOVED HIM!

The team that Striker put together with Victor (VICTTOOORRRRR!) and Jimmy and all of them was super tight. When Zero did his thing at the beginning, I had a goofy grin on my face because I was half in love with him but then Ryan Reynolds got up there and did his crazy knife dance and my other half was in love with him....but then my love for the both of them gave way to Gambit.

*sigh*

This whole movie was great. I can't wait to see it again, I soooo want to see it again. If you haven't seen this movie, you need to get on that (Izzy), this movie is the business! And don't forget to stay until after the credits because there are different scenes at the end. It's great!

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Alicia Keys, Ray Liotta, Ben Affleck, Jeremy Piven, etc.
Rating: R, for strong bloody violence, pervasive language, some nudity and language.
Grade: B

Mob boss Primo Sparazza has taken out a hefty contract on Buddy "Aces" Israel--a sleazy magician who has agreed to turn state's evidence against the Vegas mob. The FBI, sensing a chance to use this small-time con to bring down big-target Sparazza, places Aces into protective custody-under the supervision of two agents dispatched to Aces' Lake Tahoe hideout. When word of the price on Aces' head spreads into the community of ex-cons and cons-to-be, it entices bounty hunters, thugs-for-hire, deadly vixens and double-crossing mobsters to join in the hunt. With all eyes on Tahoe, this rogues' gallery collides in a comic race to hit the jackpot and rub out Aces.

I went into watching this movie, confused as all get out. It took my brother's room mate to explain to me what was going on for me to finally get what the heck everyone was up to, who everyone was and just everything and I've got to say that this movie was pretty hot darn good. There's plenty of action, like non stop action and the little world that the writer of this movie created was pretty crazy but entertaining as all get out.

Jeremy Piven looked disflippin'gusting in this movie but he did his character justice. He was a little shit and I wouldn't care for someone like him in real life but still, he played his character well. Martin Henderson did his character good too. It was pretty cool.

My favorite character in the whole movie was Ryan Reynolds. Boy has this one come along way from his days as Van Wilder. He looks older, sharper and just yummier. I love his hair cut and his macho do gooder attitude in this movie. I was a fan of him and his partner and that scene with Ray Liotta and the bad guy in the elevator was pretty frickin' great.

Alicia Keys was another great addition to this cast, there were so many people in this movie and so many big name stars that there must have been great hype and for me, the hype won out because I really enjoyed this movie. I have to watch it again so that I can understand everything completely but I did enjoy the heck out of all the shooting, all the confusion and just everything.

I'd pimp this movie out...for sure.
